Here are some updated pics of my system, I've added an h100, some fans, and a second gtx 770(though my SLI cable hasnt been delivered yet)




Specs:
I5 4670k
MSI Z87 G45
2 EVGA GTX 770 SC's w/ACX cooling
8gb GSkill Ripjaws X
Crucial M500 120g ssd
Kingston SSD Now V300 120g
1tb Seagate Barracuda
Corsair RM 850
2 Corsair SP 120's
1 Corsair AF 120
2 AF120 white LED
all in a Corsair 400R case.

Thinking about bumping up to a 500R, and trying a front mount radiator setup, but undecided so far. And yeah, in the system, without direct light on it, it looks black. Even tossed around the idea of making a cover for the motherboard, something like whats on this board http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131976

Just thought I'd share my latest work here with you guys. All the rest of the photo's can be viewed in my build log, and please put comments on my system in that thread.

jeremyp79 - Good to know how my motherboard, sp120 fans and h100i will look together! Too bad not the read af140.

mlcaouette - That is amazing. Post that in the custom loop thread and also post it here http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1980287/member-systems-discussion-thread/page-14.html#12633394

 

[mlcaouette]

Thanks for the compliment Mirakledba! There is already a link to my build log somewhere in the water cooling thread and I went ahead and added the link to that other thread as well.

 

[veladem]

Thought I might share since a long time ago in a web browser not so distant the community of Tom's Hardware helped me build the amazing rig I have today.

Front

Side

Inside

Rear

There is now an SSD inside along with the 2TB drive and also, look at that cable management 😀

AMD FX-8120
Cooler Master Hyper 212+
Diamond Radeon HD 7970 Ghz. Ed.
MSi 990XA-GD55
2x 4GB of Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz
2TB WD Barracuda 7200RPM HDD
240GB PNY Prevail SSD
Antec 750w Green Watts
Lots of blue fans 😀

 

[CptBarbossa]

Here is my build. Just completed about a month ago. Just did some cable management cleanup today.







CPU - AMD A10 6800k
Mobo - ASRock FM2A75M PRO4+
GPU - Crossfire HD 7770
RAM - 8 gigs (2x4)
SSD - 128 gigs
HDD - 1TB
CPU Cooler - Coolermaster 101a
PSU - Corsair cx600m
Case - Fractal design core 1000

Best thing about this whole setup is the size. That is the smallest case I could find which rocks for mobility. Had to go with that a10 because this is the only mobo with pci express slots in the 1 and 3 position for my crossfire. Hope you all enjoy.

Full cost of this build is just under $800.

Hey everyone. I love the builds I've seen so far. I just built a new PC a little over a week ago. I have more work to do on it, but I'm pretty happy with it so far... Here are the specs:

Corsair Vengence C70
Asus Sabertooth 990FX
AMD FX-8320 @ 4.5Ghz
Corsair H100i
Crucial M500 240GB SSD
Hitachi 1TB HDD
MSI 560ti Gold Edition
Patriot 4x4 16GB 1600Mhz
Windows 8.1
BitFenix Recon
LG BD Drive
LG DVDRW Drive

This is a before shot of the grey bezels:

This one is after I used Plastidip on the bezels. I think it makes the case pop better than the grey. Plus, it matches the white rings on my SP120s:

Inside the case:

[Mirakledba]

ExiRecon and 187Flatliner - AMAZING rigs you both have! ~Yoda. Those are some nice PC's! Love the custom loop. Nice tri monitor.

Great job you two!

 

[saint19]

@187Flatliner:

I would change those 3 monitors for something to 120MHz or above...you have a very good rig for run at 60-75Hz

 

[Chiuy]

I used to have the NZXT Guardian, but I decided to switch over to the BitFenix Prodigy because of the size and how nice it is. I decided to spray paint the GPU, Ram, and the case to orange to match the color theme. I plan on spray painting the Mobo and PSU once the warranty is gone. I also plan on cutting out a window out on the right panel soon and add orange LED. I also don't remember parts being this expensive, at the time I bought all my parts, it cost $700.

The specs are:

PCPartPicker part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2WQhj

CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($217.98 @ OutletPC)
CPU Cooler: Antec KUHLER H2O 650 Liquid CPU Cooler ($49.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: Asus P8H61-I R2.0 Mini ITX LGA1155 Motherboard ($73.22 @ Amazon)

[Onus]

I think that orange theme looks good, including spray-painting the shroud on your HD7870.

 

[nukemaster]

Chiuy, Looks good.

There it is! THESE PICS ARE 2 DAYS OLD. I now made the gpu cable neater by using one and not two.
AND I DID THE CABLE MANAGEMENT in the back BAD ON PURPOSE. No heat there

PSU fan is on hybrid. Thats why its not spinning

[unplanned bacon]

This is mine, first time builder. I call it Weapon X








Yes it's had reliability problems since it first went live a month ago and Windows 8 is making me tear my hair out, but I'm still proud of it. It maxes every game I've thrown at it, but that all ends when Watch Dogs drops 🙁

I know my routing is bad (sort of never finished it 😛), how do you guys get such good jobs

Spec
16GB DDR3 1600MHz memory
Gigabyte GA H87 HD3 mobo
16x Blu Ray Drive with Cyberlink Media Suite 10 (includes PowerDVD 10 to play Blu Rays)
4TB storage space (1 x 2TB 7200rpm WD Black and 1 x 2TB 5400rpm WD Green which can be used for storage or backup)
802.11n 2.4GHz WiFi (round back)
Intel i5 Haswell @3.2GHz (4570)
Asus Nvidia GeForce 760 OC 2GB
6 case fans + 1 spare (2 Blue LED aerocool shark fans 120mm + 2 Blue LED stock fans 120 mm + 2 stock 80 mm fans + 1 spare stock 120 mm fan)
Corsair 600W CXM PSU
Zalman Z11 Plus case
LG K360 wireless keyboard
USB Bluetooth adapter (round back)

 

[Mirakledba]

unplanned bacon - Very nice! I love that case. Make some room for your keyboard 😉

Thanks man, it is actually a great case, but not without its flaws (there aren't many tbh), but all cases have them and at the price I got it for can't complain. There's a shelf under my desk which is where I put my keyboard when not in use. I use it more as a "floating" keyboard so no desk needed really. I didn't build this to work, I built it to game 😛
I reckon sorting my routing would help my temps a fair bit, but there not bad as is (67 C GPU and 50 to 60 CPU for Far Cry 3 on ultra settings), just I've proven bad at it

It looks pretty cool at night too when the blue light for the bluetooth adapter is going off because the USB ports remain powered on even when the rig is off and then you have the light from the GPU as well
