Would explain it then.
I saw the GTX and just thought graphics since I'm so used to having GTX4,5 series, etc.

Side note:
I believe the term "GTX" and "GTS" used by nVidia derived from the term "GT" used in car names where it stands for Gran Turismo (Italian for grand tourer). I honestly don't know what the added S or X stands for, but my guess is that it's "extreme" or simply a letter used to name their products (without any real meaning).
GTX can also stand for a number of different things, where I believe the most common is the (often laminated) water resistant coating called Gore-Tex. No idea what it stands for in "Corsair Neutron GTX".
I might be completely wrong about the above. If anyone knows the true meaning please correct me.
On topic:
I like the build Static, very clean. Have to ask though, do you have no HDDs at all? NAS storage I suppose?

Combining these two bits of information, we get a pixel fill rate of 800 megapixels per second for the GeForce 2 GTS, which is up from 480 megapixels per second for the GeForce, and we get a texel fill rate of 1600 megatexels per second or 1.6 gigatexels per second, which is where part of the GTS acronym comes from – Giga Texel Shader.

When it comes to GeForce, GTS was the first, it was "GeForce 2 GTS, GeForce 2 Pro, GeForce 2 Ultra, GeForce 2 Ti, GeForce 2 Go and the GeForce 2 MX series" taken from wikipedia

I always thought that they added the X because it is a strong-sounding letter and adds connotations like "extreme".
One of the first computers I got to play games on at home had a geforce 2 GTS. Shit was so tight!
We thank you for the participation of that sub-discussion.
If you wish to continue pursuing it, I advice the Chat thread, or post pictures of your (old) rigs with said graphics cards.
I said I was going to post this nearly 6 months ago and just never got around to it. Cheers!

I might dislike eVGA coolers, but there is no denying that that computer and those cards look really great.
Not a fan of MMO-mice or Razer Bw-keyboards though. Or TVs. All things considered, still looks really great
I didn't want to use the TV, but my old monitor crapped out on me and I had that lying around. Can't read anything that well on it hahha! I find myself using the buttons on the mouse to do things with twitch reactions like shadowstep and so I feel weird if I don't use a mouse like it.

You should of course use what you want and what you like.
I'm a picky elitist prick, that is probably not right about half the things I have decided for myself, but that's what works for me. Taste will always be taste, and the only one that should matter is your own.
I wouldn't mind more internal shots. It manages to look good despite not being colour-coordinated at all, so well done.
I could get more internal shots, but it would have to be tomorrow. Just took pictures for a "battlestation" post on our guild forums.
and thanks!
