Skarsguard,

When you're on imgur ready to copy a link for an image, choose the large or small thumbnail, then use "Linked BBCode."

Hope that helps!

Where's your HDD? Or are you running everything off SSD?

Everything is off my SSD pretty much have windows,antivirus,cpuz,firefox,Wow,D3, and Ccleaner and that's it. Still have 60 gigs free so I'm for sure not doing bad at all btw If I could change anything on my build I would have went with the regular shinobi the XL is a beast 35 pounds by it self other then that I love the case and how "clean" it looks.

**kidsafe** · 2012-06-06, 03:35 AM

Yeah it's definitely spartan in there... For comparison:

Similar to the build I'm working on, looks good. In my opinion though turn the PSU so you're showing the golden X instead of the ugly specifications tag

Depending on the length of the 8pin cable that might not be so easy, I had to turn my PSU that way around for it to reach without over-straining the cable to connector solder points, it really felt like if I were to pull any harder something might snap.

**Notarget** · 2012-06-06, 09:58 AM

Fair enough, I thought the cables that comes with Seasonic were pretty long. Either Way assuming they're long enough I think it would look better turned around.

**Butler Log** · 2012-06-06, 10:16 AM

Mine came with a proper sticker on both sides, so I think it actually looks better that way around because you see less of the cables.

**Drunkenvalley** · 2012-06-06, 10:34 AM

Bruce, that machine is ridiculously tidy.

Is this a computer you assembled yourself? There are... more than a few things I'd do different. Also, are you running 2x8GB modules and 2x4GB modules? I see no other way to achieve those 24GB of RAM (well, 3x8GB I guess).

In either case, pictures?

Fan down or gtfo! :P

No, I agree that the gold X looks better, but I prefer to have the fan facing down. Functionality > aesthetics.

**Notarget** · 2012-06-06, 02:13 PM

Afaik know there is no "performance" difference between facing "up" or "down", unless like mentioned already the cables can't reach.
