I've got a friend who does a nice blues/jazz "booze cruise" streaming audio program, with somewhat of a pirate motif. Well, every pirate needs a parrot, right? So I built "Parrot" from mostly spare parts (only the mobo and case were new) and sent it off to him yesterday.
Warning on the Fractal Designs Core1100: you can't really tell from the pics, but the circle below the power switch is NOT a reset button; it is the HDD LED. This case has no reset button, which would have been a dealbreaker had I known. It is well-made, but the material is thin, and cable-management is non-existent. Also, if any drive is 3.5", you can only mount two drives unless you use a 5-1/4" bay.
Anyway, it's an i3-3240 on an ASRock B75-PRO with a 120GB AData SSD, a 320GB WD Blue, 8GB of Corsair Vengeance RAM, the HD6850 I got from ColGeek, and a 550W Antec TruePower New. I found a great background image online with a pirate with a cutlass and a parrot on his shoulder. I think he'll like it.
