Hello Chaps just wanted to show you all my latest build with another Silverstone case (im mad for Silverstone cases at the moment) the Silverstone TJ08B-E Temjin.

I have very care fully cut a side window in the side panel, then made a clear acrylic window with Allen bolts to match the side window of my FT02 case, i then added the blue cold cathode lights to give the same effect as my FT02 case and Used the original DVD blanking plate to cover the Samsung DVD drive so it all blends together, below is the result.

Hardware Specs...

Asus M4A88TD-M Evo/USB3 MB
AMD Phenom II X4 965 OCd to 4.0ghz on BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro Cooler
4Gb Corsair 1600mhz Ram
Asus Direct CU II GTX560ti
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB HDD
Samsung DVD RW
600W PSU, Silverstone Tech. Strider ST60F-P, Modular, 85%Eff'

Heres my FT02 that i wanted to match it against..

Tell me what you think chaps?

Not the case with my case at the moment (intakes air from insde the case)

I do think it would be nice to eventually cut a spot so I can flip the psu but for now its not very much an option

3/4mm drill bit mate x150 in the floor below Psu
you can throw a bit of filter over them/under Psu inside the case if you wish though

@Uther, thought you'd been a little quiet lately mate Nice box man

uther39, really nice! I really like the cases Silverstone has come out with. I may look into this case, as I might be building one for my parents and this would be perfect. How are you liking the case so far? Anything I should be aware of?

 

[Uther39]

The case is fantastic with no complaints here, as you can see it even fits a massive air cooler like the one in mine, when you build be sure to remove both hard drive cages in front of the fan to aid installation of mobo and cable routeing.

really like silverstone's cases too uther. they have great cooling for how quiet it is.

lol nice. I was getting suggested that I should pick up a 955BE C3 and just oc it instead of my current 965BE C2 lol.

Instead I am going to get an i5 2500k / z68 / vengence LP white 2x4GB sticks ^_^

just not sure which motherboard to get that is cost efficient and offers amazing overclockability, I want to push my i5 2500k very far with my noctua nh-d14. this is the board I have in mind so far 😀

with this ram

Total is around $395 but this will be one of the final upgrades for this build and I need maximum cpu performance for my dual 6950s so I think I am going to be happy with this + I am going to use the IGPU to watch videos n such so I use less of my gpus so they only have to work when I launch a game. Not sure how that will exactly be done but its a thought ^_^

Just got the new 200mm fan and new cd burner, installing those now ^_^

I just bought and used that MSI motherboard in a new build (in sig) and it's awesome! I would definitely recommend it.

Couple more since it was asked. Tried to clean it up a bit. Cut the hot swap bay cover down to fit.

Just going to post my new and final complete setup, (just install a third and final radiator to the system
(NOTE: I am planning on getting a pair of 580's or one 590 with GPU waterblocks this X-mas times)
That is the reason of the three Dual Rads. Please enjoy the photos and the new loop changes

This is it,

 

[Lutfij]

what happened to one of your WD blue drives...in your prev shots you had two WD blues now you have a seagate.

That build looks nice(save the orange), could you take a pic of the inside showing how you connected the two res' and the top rad to your entire loop...?

btw how dya drain that loop?i can see a quick disconnect but do you run the pump after disconnecting to drain water or what?

so what rads are you running currently?

Both WD dies at the same time my storage and back up, so I had to send the HDD to get my data recovered switch cost me 1500 dollars

So now I have a WD 250GB again and a Seagate Barracude 500GB switch I don't like at this time

So how I have the two res/pumps connect is that I have the last line coming from the third Radiator switch is on the bottom of the case going out to the first REV/PUMP and them to the second REV/PUMP to the first Radiator switch is going to the CPU and from the CPU going to the Radiator outside the case and from that Radiator to the GPU and from the GPU to the Last Radiator

here is a another photo for you

This last photo is a custom cut out made from cardboard I've did.

Wow KeiKi! That rigs looking reall good!

Thank you
Here are the temps now

 

[Lutfij]

50.75 average - for a 4.0GHz OC w/ GPU included - that IS impressive

was just looking at a WC setup for my rig until i came across this

the price is ... erm...high but i know some people would want one.

@ keiki - hats off to a job well done and thanks for the pics/tip - will help me with my loop once i get the stuff though how dya drain the loop?

from the quick-disconnect that is connect to the video card, I to take that off and then the loop line going to the third radiator I will take it off the video card and drain the video and that one line switch will drain the system.

Logitech Mouse - G500, Logitech Keyboard G510

@ mentalmal - razer black widow ultimate and the cyborg R.A.T 7 mouse

 

[Lutfij]

hmm - very informative

 

[ru_1980]

I need a new keyboard and mouse for the 'gamer' unit.
any suggestions.?

Hey mal...I'm struttin a Logitech G110 keyboard and a Logitech G500 mouse. Both work awsome. the keyboard is great if you don't want to pay for the LCD screen. Apparently the exact same keyboard (sans screen) for about half price; cool thing about it, it has headphone/mic jacks with associated mutes for each and a USB port right on the keyboard. Not to mention colour changing, the fancy volume wheel, gaming switch to disable windows key and menu key...etc...Google it.

 

[Lutfij]

thas got me guessing as well :/

 

[aford10]

I've got the logitech mx 518 mouse, and it's real nice.

 

[aford10]

I'm everywhere 😛

 

[ru_1980]

lots of people have been saying Logitech, are really that good now or something.?

Ive always had logitech peripherals....seem to work forever. The only gripe I have thus far is my, now 4 year old, joystick has developed an input jump at center deadspot. I have to compensate in games by adjusting Center null. Other than that....been a great experience with logitech stuff. Had a fancy HP mouse once, with it's OWN recharging base and what not...worked for a year...then died. I think the charging base packed in.

EDIT: just bought this new keyboard about a week ago because my old wireless one (logitech) was having issues connecting or something. Wouldn't work on my keyboard tray under my desk....worked everywhere else in the house....probably interference from somewhere. I had a mouse wire running right infront of the wireless reciever, not to mention the gateway is right behind it and surrounded my monitors...It's in the garage, and it still works, just not on my keyboard tray for some reason....

Do you want a mechanical or membrane type keyboard? What features do you need or want?

My brother has the keyboard, only nice feature it offers is the LCD that works 40% of the time like he wants it to ;/

black/brown mechs > any day imo

Regarding the LCD, the list of supported games is listed at Logitech's website: Logitech GamePanel.

 

[aznshinobi]

Ya'll are noobs!

I'm rocking a Logitech $15 wireless keyboard (MK300) and a HP OEM MOUSE!
