Nice. I almost went with a 7850, but when my friend told me he would sell me his GTX 570 for $225 it was a no brainer. Love the thing. Let me know how you like the 7850.
nice lookin rig ! however dont think for a second that moto wont pounce on ya for that " one " unsightly wire .. good luck with that
Finally had to remove the white USB cables running to a USB/card reader/2.5"HDD dock because I needed it in a different system. They were too short and I could not find extensions for USB headers. I've thought about getting modding cable extensions for the power cables, but I decided to tuck some them bit more. The next time I upgrade, I will definitely spend more time with the cable management.
Just thought id show you lot a latest project of mine, for a friend who wanted fancy water cooling on the cheap (if thats possible haha), anyway nearly done now, just got to install windows 8 and do some bench testing...
2 x 120mm XSPC 50mm rads (with 2 x 140mm & 2 x 120mm fans set up in a push pull)
1 x Dual BAY res with 12v D5 pump
XSPC AMD CPU BLOCK
XSPC UNIVERSAL GPU BLOCK
3/4 OD UV BLUE HOSE
ULTRA BRIGHT UV LEDs
SO heres a few sneak peaks and the link to the full album..( its a shame but the camera makes it out to be alot of blue light, when really theres just a mellow purple haze and the UV tubing lights up well)
@uther, clean man, every build you do gets better and better mate
@Urban 'Too much work for an AMD build' ? Best not look at mine then hehe
Modding isn't about the hardware, its about uniquividuality and making what you want happen, happen,
sometimes its just making the best of what you have, but for me its about making what I want
Some really nice rigs in here since I was last in, been busy rl
