Post your gaming setup!

[Evil Inside]

Me again:P mind you last time I posted in this thread was ages ago and I've made quite a few changes.

Current setup:

AMD Phenom X6 1090T OC @ 3.8GHz
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-D3 motherboard
16gb 1333mhz ram
Corsair Force series 3 60gb SSD
2x 1tb drives for storage but soon need more >.< damn you harddrive prices
HD6950(flashed 6970 bios) and HD6970 in crossfire
2x 24" Benq monitors
Coolermaster Storm Trooper case.

Will update with pics as soon as I can.

Was best picture I could take.
The two drive bay clamps were a cheap plastic that broke as soon as they were twisted to lock in place so currently not using them, they just sit there for now.
Anyone know some good quality red clamps? (I prefer the screws then the twist/lock method)
I tried shoving the wiring behind the drive bay, but it was going to warp the back side panel no matter how much I spaced them out, so I just bunched them up with some ties and placed the bundle in the bottom on the case.
At the time when I was installing the graphics card I didn't realize how low I had set it and would have bumped it up a slot or two, but the small shields that you take out on the back are punch outs and I haven't found a way to put them back in, so instead of punching out another shield I just left it on the lower slot and took a look at the temperatures to make sure if the gpu was becoming too hot under load. (Reaches 70c so not worth making the case ugly.)

As long as you follow this:



I've been sitting like that ever since I started gaming, despite parents/teachers/etc yelling at me to sit straight.

I wish I could lean back. My legs are too long and the only way for me to sit back would be to to have a 4 foot deep desk that is almost four feet tall.

I can only lean forward.

Get a kneeling chair (the ones popularized in the 80s.) It basically promotes the same inclination and neutral spinal position but keeps your torso upright.

DAMN Daveric! I love how your rig looks, and the cabling and braiding, wow! That blue just looks awesome! I invite you to post in the CPU/GPU OC leaderboards if you plan to overclock your CPU and/or GPU! That is definitely a killer system and looks the part, too!

[Lild1991]

I'll try to get some soon. Gotta get my camera back from my brother first.

[Marest]

Looks extremely sexy Daveric! Looks cleaner without the LEDs in my opinion though. No SSD?

[Prixie]

Did anyone else notice the boot error in the first picture of Daveric's post?

[Azome]

I went ahead and did some cable management looks a lot better and now i don't think "oh no..." every time i have to open the back panel

[DeltrusDisc]

Wow that looks superb sir! Great work!

[Azome]

Thx Deltrus! just wait for next month were i'll have all the cable sleeved and taking my computer to a friend of mine who have one hell of a camera to take some better pics

[DeltrusDisc]

I'm always here, watching.... waiting...

Yeah the back of mine looks nothing like that...you have inspired me.

Edit: the forum ate my other post.

Yeah...I forgot to put the windows install disk in to reinstall (using the same hard drive from my old rig which you can see in the corner in one of the pictures) and it was looking for old hardware. It turns out that pic had the best lighting with system on.

No SSD yet, though it is planned, and I've already replaced the top fan with two non led fans I had lying around. Eventually I will replace them with a set of corsair af120s (or the 140mm version if there is space), and I'll switch that front fan out as well. I had to cut out the fans and the ssd to justify the 670 with my CFO (the wife).
