CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14
Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Pro4-M
Memory: 16GB Mushkin Blackline Enhanced
SSD: 120GB OCZ Vertex 3
Video Card: MSI GTX 680
Case: SilverStone Temjin TJ08-E
Power Supply: SeaSonic X750W
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Monitor: 24" Dell U2412M
Mouse: Logitech G9X
Mouse Pad: XTRAC PADS Ripper
Keyboard: Corsair K60

That looks really neat!

I've never seen that case before, interesting how the MB is completely upside down. That would probably be really good for GPU's without blower style heatsinks/fans cause the air can just rise and go out.

Close indeed, he's insulated it though (I think).

Pro gaming build as a mini-ITX = champ.

**tetrisGOAT** · 2012-09-21, 09:28 AM

Although that one is µATX.

And Silverstone recommends rear-exhaust fans for that case, so no.

Haha. I miss the Arc Midi already, it is such a great case, but it was such a pain in the butt to transport to LANs and stuff, especially with the water loop inside of it.

**spaace** · 2012-09-21, 12:51 PM

holy tight.

I kinda like that "upside down" mobo, especially since most of the heat does come from that gpu.

**CheezusCrust** · 2012-09-21, 01:20 PM

My new headphones have arrived, very satisfied so far, had them on for about 2 hours now, about to dip in to Borderlands 2 with them as it finally got released today in Europe :P

California Headphones Kickstarter page

Came in a leather satchel (?), very nice packaging.

Also, very first pictures of my new camera, Sony NEX 5N :P

Was this remedied with your new build?

Well, I haven't gone to a LAN yet, but it is certainly smaller, lighter, and thus easier to carry.

Spend an extra $20 on an i5 3570k and it's a well-balanced computer.

**tetrisGOAT** · 2012-09-21, 03:52 PM

There's no bottleneck.

Also, this is not the thread for this. Please leave advice out of this thread.

Your desk looks like it's made by the same folks who make mine. I hate mine though, lol, too small and crap.

This is the desk specs: Link. (Second picture).

They also just increased the price by £50... Lucky I got mine when I did! :P

small and crap right here. :3 I don't have room in my apartment for a real desk.. >_>
I like your desk Deltrus, but Yohassakura's is pretty sweet.

**Xuvial** · 2012-09-22, 03:45 AM

I still reckon I have one of the biggest dic--I mean desks around here. I'll admit it's not as stylish as Yohassakura's one, what with all those little steps/tiers <3

Is it just me or are the colors on your TV super-vibrant? I mean the blues are really standing out, at first I thought you had been playing with your Digital Vibrance setting but then I saw you had an AMD card which doesn't feature that (I think).

Also do you have speakers? I can't spot any in that photo. Or do you stick to your Fatality?

I remember my #1 gripe with those slide-out desk things that come with most "PC" desks - the fact there's almost no room for the mouse left if you're using a large keyboard. For example, my mousepad measures something like 35cmx25cm wouldn't have the vaguest chance of fitting there :P

Overall great build and tidy setup

I remember back when CD racks were all the rage and the goal was to have towers of CD's arranged in beautiful shelves (mostly music albums :P).

How do they sound? Are you using any kind of DAC or AMP with it?
