Your PC ATM

[MoonPig]

The desk mod

Note the difference in shade round the corners. That's due to the sealant i used taking the paint differently. I'm working on that so try looking past it

And my buddies build at the moment:

Just needs his Graphics card (9600GT), Heatsink (Scythe Ninja) and Hard-Drive (Sammy 500GB) in there and it's done

I remember that desk of yours. It rocks, hard.

If we're going to post buddy's rigs. Here's the aforementioned Crosshair IV and 1055T box I helped move into the picturef Raven 02 last week. I made a small review of the case for an Israeli forum - Hence the handy pics:

K, this would be the amd build without a case, and a 1090t. The reason I was thinking of going with a X4 970 was because X6's don't improve gaming performance and the cost difference kept me within my limits when thinking about using a regular case.
BTW, when did the 1090T drop to $229?

Dude too me you have the most coolest unique build on TPU I want

Yeah, that AMD build looks pretty odd with an X4 in it. Why not a 1090T, or even a 1055T ? Both will clock about the same as that X4. A buddy of mine has a 1055T with a Crosshair IV. Took us about 2 minutes to put it at 3.5Ghz without even trying. We could probably hit 4Ghz with it, if he cared about doing so.

The 1090T is a rip off, for the price, you can get an i5 or an i7 that will whoop the crap out of it, and overclock just as well. And a Crosshair 4 though a great motherboard further invalidates the price to preformence argument which is the only reason to go AMD in the first place.

lol, dogs are awesome too, but they seem to take less interest in PC hardware than cats do.

My plan is to get one cat and one dog at the same time, both as pup/kitten and have them grop up together and live in harmony.

then do my evil bidding :coolo

It can be done, but in my experience it is tough, my 2 mini poodle (I'm allergic to dogs and poodles have one of the lowest possible shedding rates because of their curley hair and their dander is also very low because of the oil they produce for their fur because they are water dogs ) puppy's loved the cat, the cat didn't quite like the dogs so much. so often the dogs would hang with me while the cat slept on the dogs bed, then once the cat was asleep they would all cuddle together.

It really depends on the personality of the animals.


On a side note on of my dogs loves my computers because they are warm, and she sleeps next to my folding machine on cold nights, and hangs out on my desk next to my computer during the early evening when I get home.

Well, after being convinced by erocker's NZXT Vulcan that this case is nice, decided to use one for my newest i7 build:

As you may see there's some pratical problems. So here's my list of niggles to stop others making the same mistakes:

- If you use corsair H70 the tubes are too short so you will need either 2x 38mm fans or use a shroud like I did.

- Either way, the tubes and the amount the fan/rad portrudes will not let you use cards longer than this GT200 on the top slot.. and no longer than a 460 in the bottom slot.

- The motherboard cut-out in the Vulcan doesn't give you access to the two top-most mounting holes of the Rampage III Gene.

That looks really nice!

So if you wanted to use, for example, a pair of GTX470s, the rad would have to be mounted in the back or top?

On the top you can't fit an H70. You could fit and H50, but the fans would need to be pulling from the outside of the case, on top. It is VERY tight there.

So the only real option for large GPUs is a back-mounted rad?

Yes.. and no. The rear fan is smaller than 120mm so you might have difficulty finding the right mount thingy. Best place is for rad on top of case with fans pushing from their current place. It has two holes for passing tubes out the rear.. although I suspect they're too small and you'd wanna make your own through the rear fan grill instead.

EDIT: Although that means you can't use the handle

Promo ends today but the $100 rebate goes to the end of the month. It's on a card for anyone who cares.

@ KieX, that is a pretty bad-a$$ looking rig you got right there. How is the H70 performance on that i7? And which model of i7 is it?

On a side note, I have a 1/2 Chiuaua, 1/2 Dachsund (they call it a chi-weenie) and he is freaked out by my rig. When I crank the fans up he starts growling at it and jumping around like a little crack-head.

This is him (his name is Napoleon) and my six year old. He is full grown.

You probably mean "Dachshund",or short "Dackel".
Translated it would mean "Badger Dog"

Also, all the cats in the last page are awesome, that is all.

You are so right. I have some friends abroad, and I am SHOCKED by what most have to pay for Hardware, with the exception of a few in Asia, and I am SHOCKED by some of the deals they can pick up.

Edit: That is a pretty nice pair of hind ends when we post back to back.
