I am really loving Corsair products lately. This Arctic 600T case is such a pleasure to build in.

 

[Karadjgne]

I love that wood looking pc case, that'd fit on my desktop so nice, without looking like a pc. I just can't for the life of me figure out the airflow! Where's the fans? Where's the vents? Looks like all that air gets shoved into the top(side) compartment and sucked through the psu. Which is pointed down into the undercabinet?

 

[Math Geek]

my dad discovered the Raspberry Pi magazine and thinks it sounds like a lot of fun to design some uses for one. if we get to designing and making some stuff for the Pi to fit in, i'll be sure to post some pics.

so many things you can do with them, it's almost overwhelming

Always makes me realise mine isnt anything special after seeing some of these

yes I know the feeling, but for every toy I get for my system, My gamer wife will always look at me, and then expect it
to miraculously appear in her computer, so everything cost double for me He system is identical except in a pink ostrog case and red fans (her requested feature lol)

Yes I know my cable management at the time sucked

(2014) the start
Intel I5-4570 on Intel Stock Air Cooler
Patriot 8GB @ 1333mhz
Asus Z87 Gryphon
ATI Radeon HD 7800 1GB
WD Black 1TB
Corsair CX500
6 Thermaltake Pure 12 Blue LED Case Fans

now its....simpler..

(2016)
Intel I5-4570 on Enermax Liquimax 120S
Patriot Viper 3, 32GB @ 1866mhz
Asus Z87 Gryphon
EVGA GTX 970 AC2 SSC OC 4GB
Toshiba Q300 500GB SSD
WD Black 1TB
Corsair CX750
Windows Pro x64
6 Corsair SP120 Quiet Fans (Black no leds)

Considering the next upgrade to be Corsair HG91 with H75 to cool the video card

12/2016 after reading the thread drooling over everyone awesome machines, I decided to spend a couple of hours and redo my wirring
here is the final result as of today. No custom hole making, and was tough with a non-modular PSu, but I think I did not do so bad

This is my current system Arctic Frost. Took me over a year to get it just right. Was never perfect, always something else I could do better with it. Now after over a year, its done. Nothing else I can do with the skills I have to do any better running on air. Except maybe cable combs....

 

[Math Geek]

very nice. i can see the vision there completely. well done!!

wow pretty amazing that is a lot of painting

The 980ti's pain to paint and put back together, the only other thing painted is the tubes from the CPU cooler and the SSD.

Maybe its just a optical illusion but I think you need to get a bar to correct that Gpu sag. Ram slots to card show a very noticeable sag. Otherwise Amazing setup. Very nice monitor.

What video card is that, Very long. Nice build.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

It's not that long it's in a small case.

@The Paladin: huge difference. It may not be the fanciest, it may not have all kinds of custom doohickeys and whatnots, it may not even be full of the latest and greatest gadgets that money can buy. But it's yours, you did it, and it looks great. Glad you took the time, should be proud.

thanks, I am rather proud I managed to do it, it was a lot of pulling wires out and " where can I pass this to hide it"
thinking.... lol oh yeah my wife now said " so your doing mine next ahahah"

 

[Karadjgne]

I did the wife's first. She was so happy, I got away with a few extras and several days worth of tinkering on mine with 0 complaints.

And, naturally, it's still not done completely, I want more....

I didn't know the H440 was considered small.

Nice! Your rear fan appears to be set as intake...might want to flip it round

thanks! i didn't even see that. the fan is now in proper flow.

 

[Saga Lout]

Don't feel bad about it; you wouldn't believe the number of OEM builders make that mistake.

 

[Karadjgne]

The fan on the cpu cooler is set for pull? More effective if set for push at the front of the cooler and aimed towards the rear exhaust.

Excellent idea! Thanks for the tip!

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Might have put it in a PULL configuration because of memory interference ,benefit of push is only a degree or two.

 

[Karadjgne]

Pull doesn't affect the motherboard components like the VRM's and other regulatory circuitry around the cooler to any real degree the way bleed air from push does. It was in this respect that I was referring it to be more effective in placement, and it's a cryorig cooler, so shouldn't have any ram issues. Not sure on orientation, almost looks like it's actually in push, but the cooler is mounted backwards, blowing air to the front of the case
