    I bought a fair bit of my original build from Mysterybyte, I can walk there from my house. I've bought almost exclusively from NCIX since then, just a better selection. I bought my SSD and Case from Newegg.

    I posted some pics a while back when I first got the watercooling up, I'll put a link in my sig on my to do list :P

    That's an odd place for a CoD game, shouldn't it be in the bin?

    She probably finds "Axe" and the like nauseating. A common side-effect of most people that wear too much of it.

    Axe spray = terrible.
    Axe dry deodorant (like most deodorants) = reasonable.

    OT: Love the other non-Naga Razer mouse! Death Adder pride here!

    I decided to take my computer out of its corner and give it a nice cleaning. After taking the case apart I decided I would snap a few pictures for this wonderful forum. Obviously the case is a bit disassembled as some of the parts (reservoir for example) are clearly sticking out of the case lol. I'm also pushing the space limits of my case, and the space available in my room.

    Whats in the rig:
    MB: ASRock P67 Extreme4
    CPU: 2600k
    GPU: GTX 570 Superclocked & a GTX 570 Classified in SLI
    Ram: 8 GB 1600 MHz Gskill ripjaws

    Cooling: Rasa 240 CPU only watercooling loop. 4 fan Push pull bottom mounted radiator (not ideal but I'm extremely space constrained atm, temperatures are still excellent and very monitored).

    CPU overclocking: 4.6 GHz, 1.36vcore
    GPU overclocking: Both cards at stock. While in SLI master card is at 822 clock. Assisting card at 800.
    Note: Down-clocking in SLI from using two cards with different clock speeds hasn't occured for many nvidia driver releases.

    Average temps: 25ish C system
    CPU at 4.6GHz: 25 C idle, 55ish C at full load after 1+ hours
    GPU at full load: high 50's from Master card, low 50's from secondary card.

    A few shots of my rather cramped little rig. I also don't have the time to game really anymore so absolutely minimizing my temperatures has not been of great concern. Aka mounting my radiator out of case for example and not push-pulling down (lol).


    The pics:
    Bad Company 2 at 5700+ by 1020 resolution. 100+ fps:

    Edit:
    Aww I'm not allowed to post pictures for a "few more post". Blah for having a new account. Well i'm gonna go post a few times and I shall return to update this.

    I'll get my posts in eventually and give you an update. Any idea (roughly) how many post you need to be able to use links and img's?

    Hey guys! Just finished building up an HTPC/casual gaming rig: I figured I would post it here since I plan to play more laid back games such as WoW, Diablo, Skyrim, and the like from this machine, while leaving my main computer for more aggressive fps/rts games etc. This little baby will be hooked up to a 42" in my room as well as act as a media server for the rest of the household: all in all, it will have its hands full!

    May as well start with the specs:
    Intel i5-2500k
    Biostar TH67+
    G.Skill RipJaw 8Gb DDR3 1333
    Gigabyte Radeon HD6850
    Coolermaster Silent Pro 700w
    Thermaltake Lanbox Lite
    Corsair H60
    WD Caviar Green 1TB


    Full size image


    Full size image

    For more images and a build video you can check out this link: Here
    Additional pictures are at the end of the video and the rest is actual build.

    Once another piece of acrylic comes in at the local hardware store I intend to a similarly foggy window on the opposite side with a mesh window added into the middle for GPU air intake. I also intend to make a mesh enclosure around the side with the radiator to allow it to fit the rest of the case better.

    Hope you guys enjoy

    Extremely neat! A question though, do you always build your computers in your bed? Looks rather unpleasent and "doing it the hard way"-like.

    Just more fuel to me at building my own mini-tower build already rather than waiting for the next generation hardware x_x Must resist!

    There is a special place in my heart for smaller/compact builds. As such, I totally love the rig, very nice job! I had plans to make something similar but ended up with my current build instead (placed in a Phantom, so far from small). I got a mITX Fusion build however: http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...1#post12787659

    Not always! But there is renovations going on downstairs so there wasn't any room to work down there and my room isn't big enough to work comfortably on the floor

    It wasn't so bad building on the bed: although I had nothing to ground to and there was probably some static floating about.

    It's too hard to resist! Perhaps you should figure out some completely random role for it to serve with cheaper hardware so you could squeeze both a fun little build and upgrade your desktop to Ivy Bridge etc?

    Aww that build is super cute! I know how you feel with the Phantom >.> it seems my desktop just keeps getting a bigger and bigger case every time I want to put new hardware in it..
