Post your gaming setup!

The melty blue fans reminds me of melted ice cream.
The Noctua fans reminds me of dessert and deserts and burning fireplaces (ie, a fireplace on fire).

I like Noctua-fans. Other than the obvious props for being different, I actually think they give ones computer a harmonic tint. But maybe I'm crazy or excentric. It's not unpossible!

yeah the ram >< the cooler is pushing on the 1 stick just a hair

very clean, wires are well tucked away. like the color scheme
but god damn that death star floating on your chip is insadiculous!

[Tuca]

on those ram sticks can i just pull them apart?

You could always disassemble the Noctua / Silver Arrow cooler fans and give them a thin coat of spray paint (NOT the fan blades, that could throw off the balance).

I would totally risk it, painting the blades, for vanity's sake.

I <3 the Silver Arrow's fans. Those things are gorgeous, and I agree with tetris, sky blue, melted blue ice cream, so gooooooood.

Maybe it's because that blue is something that so many kids experience when they're little, a lot of baby's bedrooms are light blue (cliche!) so maybe that's why some of us just can't get over those fan blades. I'm also not adverse to the D14's fans, however they would not match well in a black case.

I chose Thermalright MUX-120 because of its physical size. It doesn't cover any of the ram slots.
Alot of Noctua's CPU Coolers doesn't allow the use of memory modules higher than 44mm!

(Prices are from half a year ago)

[Asera]

My system is a couple years old mostly, wanna upgrade but can't justify it yet:

Power Supply: A good one that was enough (XFX XXX 750 watt modular as I recall)
Processor: Intel Core i5-750
CPU Cooler: Zalman (CNPS9500 or similar I think)
Memory: 8GB (2x4gb) of memory that was on sale and good (Think was Mushkin)
Graphics Card: Power Color ATI 6950 2GB (loud as hell, don't buy it)
Hard Drive:
OS and Some Choice Games - 2 x OCZ Vertex 60GB SSD's (Originals) in Raid 0
Filer backup and other games - 1 x Western Digital Black 2GB Hard drive

External Hardware:
Keyboard: Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard
Mouse: Logitech G500 Gaming Mouse
Desktop Speakers: Old Altec Lansing 5.1 Surround Speakers (No idea on the model, they're well over 5 years old)
Monitor: Dell Ultrasharp 2407wfp 24" LCD Display

Coffee: Lotsa sugar and cream, hate the taste, but keeps me awake for more games

Oh boy! Another Nova Scotian here!

Speaking of Force 3 drives though... Mine seems to be acting strange...

I didn't really know of this but yes it's a low profile vengeance. Thanks for mentioning though, since if it wasn't I were still able to change the order to that

Well that's no fair, seeking deals and cutting corners on almost every component >_>
That setup cost you less than half what it's actually worth!

[anb]

super badass for that price. ofc the 6770 seems out of place, but for 400 bucks you just can't complain.

500W is the minimum requirement for that GPU are you sure you don't want to have atleast a 550W to be safe?
