Looks awesome, that will be a sick gaming setup! Nice choices on parts! Also your size is perfect!

Yeah already enjoying the massive increase in fps - no more 10 fps on heroic spine!

Hm. Are those the Slipstream Slims or the regular Slipstreams? Seriously considering doing one final fan revamp (again sigh) and this time airflow+quietness > looks. Gentle Typhoons vs Slipstreams (I has fan controller).

They're the regular ones, the noise is a bit noticeable when they're running at the full 1900 rpm, but when they're not going flat out they are pretty quiet.

With dual 7970's? I'd hope not! Great rig, looks like a really great setup. Super jealous!

Look into the Xigmatek Silent Series fans, they are fantastic. I tossed 3 of those in my new case and am contemplating getting 4 more 140mm fans for my case for exhaust and intake as well as a couple of 120mm for my H80 (though I might go with Bitfenix fans as they have better air flow).

How it used to be this summer



How it's now

How it's now

I'm looking for a new desk and I must say that desk is win. Is it available online, or is it custom? Links appreciated!

[Acquilae]

It's an IKEA Galant desk: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/pr...47/#/S19836967

So I had to reinstall windows last night after having some FPS stuttering issues and whilst I was taking bits out and cleaning them I decided to attempt a cable tidy.

Asus P8P67 Motherboard
Intel Core i5 2500K @ 3.3Ghz
1GB EVGA GTX460 SC
4GB Memory (2x2GB 1600MHz)
CORSAIR 600W PSU
Edimax EW-7612PIn Network Card
1TB SAMSUNG HDD
120GB Corsair SSD

Dell u2311 Monitor
Roccat Kova Mouse
Razer Megalodon Headset
Razer Arctosa Keyboard
Creative T7900 7.1 Speakers

Coolmaster Silencio 550 case

It was a lot worse



I've never done cable tidy before and I probably spent about 15 minutes doing it last night. Have no access to any tools or sleeves or extentions and just made do with what I've got. Some of the cables felt as if they were being tortured and twisted just to plug them in! There's a picture of it all on a desk in my sig.

My GPU is rather loud for some reason; no idea why. I cleaned it out yesterday and rid of all the dust inside but I can still hear it whilst gaming, even sometimes with my headset on. :s
I want to get into watercooling but I am moving house soon so it has to wait, so does upgrading. I have been looking at the 600series and I think I'll purchase when the time is right or if GW2 gets a release date.

[allevia]

although capable of building my own i'm not all that confident in it, so bought mine pre-built

My System

currently using 2 monitors (both asus) - one is from my old pc 22" lcd for web browsing etc, other is 21" hd LED for gaming

Because it is a 460, they are known for being loud (to a point), power hungry, and running hot.

Wrong card, was thinking of something else in the series.

No clue how that desk is worth $180-200, it has to be the material used in the building of it - my wooden desk from Staples (or was it OfficeMax?) was like $140 or so.. and has a ton more features and such to it - though a bit smaller.

its because its IKEA, not because of the materials.

[Wries]

IKEA is a budget brand Well, here in sweden it is. But they do have some premium-lines of products. Maybe the GALANT-series is one of those things that actually have some good build quality.

My IKEA table cost me about 13 dollars :P And yet it manages to look awesome!

[Ulminia]
