I was sooo close to buying this the other day... instead I went with the Ultra Defender II

it was 20 USD cheaper and fit the side stand built into my desk for the computer. I was really thinking about getting the CM though.

I also finally got a SATA DVD drive and a controller card to go with it.

working on transferring pics, will upload in a bit

The new Opti

the controller card

a box

time to put stuff in it

Sorry its not a step by step... but here's an overview shot

CPU area, I've had that cooler for a couple years now and no issues, had to run the SATA cable around it.

Yep... still have some PATA devices. Due to cable lengths i've had to arrange them this way. I'll get a bay converter for the hard drive later.

Most of my storage capacity, some cable routing on the left.

Cable routing and connections for the hard drive cage

there's a 2.5in hard drive in there somewhere. 250gb.

Last min. 80mm fan add-on.

Front done.

and how it looks in its now home...

Grand total was about $100

Oh almost forgot... total drive count now...

Ok... NOW i'm done lol

Extremely overkill for my setup (1680x1050 60Hz) but at the current prices, who could resist?


EDIT: wow, this card is great. 15w less at idle than my old 6950.

You got the point for those hdd names.

 

[BiggieShady]

Extremely overkill for my setup (1680x1050 60Hz)

You can always rationalize overkill, for example: on that screen, with v-sync turned on, that card will never get noisy

 

[Vario]

Lol i went a similar 7970 overkill, onlu regret is voltage locked on mine

Looks great!
White LED's on the block, and gpu blocks with the white monsoon fittings. Then 10/10

my plans were to block a 7970/7950, small res next to gpus, refit it all with white hose, black monsoons, angled fittings etc

but I haven't got time anymore and plan to sell this and build a small 3770/R9 xfire rig (maybe modded)

Modded and small = fun
Support your UK brethren, get some Mayhems coolant.

Future SteamBox / 290X rig

I've had this HAF XB case in a closet for over 6 months now, and I decided to use it for a rig that will have a dual boot SteamOS/Win8 and hopefully an AMD R9 290X once it's released, I gutted my Titan rig and decided to move the 4770K to this future rig along with the MSI GD65 board:

I have my little helper taking care of removing screws from my old rigs:

SLI GTX 680s will act as place holder until AMD releases the 290X:

The rig is running and waiting for the beta release of SteamOS once it becomes available:

The HAF XB is an awesome case, lots of room, amazing airflow and the fact that pretty much every panel can be removed, makes it lots of fun to build a very powerful rig:

My main rig will keep the WC Titans along with the 3930K and my old game room PC with the 2600K and SLI 680s will go to my bedroom, once I get my hands on the R9 290X I'll replace the two other 680s.

 

[Sliver Krunk]

nice rigs bro. I am loving those 680's.

 

[GreiverBlade]

now now thats a joke ... i found a Asus GTX580 Matrix Platinum 1.5 for 130$, i guess i will SLI it with my other 580 or try to resell the 580+MK-26 and get a 2nd Matrix i really think a dual Matrix setup would look plain awesome in my HAF XB tho i would need to change my PSU :shadedshu i dont think a 700w 80+Gold can handle a dual Matrix + the 1366 setup

i went to drop some old junk i dont use (SSF DC7700 and DC7100 cases)and another joke took place: i found a nice i5-2400 in a wrecked pc in the local dump, seems to be ok

and i have a ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 on the way (70$ near new state) to test it.
either i am lucky as hell today, if it works, or just half doomed if it doesnt

humpf ... now i can, if the windows instalation get well and the cpu i found works, use it as it is in place of my AM3 setup or find a "cheap" i7-3770(K) and replace my 1366 setup (even if i would have some bitter feelings of using a ROG card on a ASRock mobo and not on my Rampage III)

oh and for overkill i have a little surprise, i went a bit overboard and wanted to try something with the AM2+ setup

yesh thats right IFX-14 double TY-147 in a mATX setup the door close without problem

1260rpm for the TY-147 and 800rpm for the coolink SWIF on the back and its pretty much silent

i5 2400 can clock up to 3.5 4 cores 3.8 turbo with a z motherboard, did it to my friend's the other day with a nice offset undervolt.

well i will see that soon(tm), i recieved the ASRock Z77 Ex 4 gosh i remove my previous comment ... its not near new... its new original boxe all accessory inclued (inclusive the SLI bridge wich i think will be a bit short ) no dust no trace of anything on it, the previous owner say he need to sell it to get a more adapted mobo: the coloring wasnt fitting the look of his pc and he wanted a "red-black" mobo ahaha so that simple thing is the cause of a near 50% reduction, even the IO shield is still sealed.

hum ... i guess this will be the base for my next build either in the HAF XB in place of the 1366 setup who will be thrown into the WCG bloody pit of computational computerized computing or in a new case ... tomorrow i recieve my Matrix ... still, my Etailer cant deliver the ram i ordered before next week (no ETA i hate that!) fundays of work to come

After the long winded RMA of nightmares, I got a nice surprise. Gigabyte replaced my Reference 780 with a Windforce X3 OC model!
Also, my PC(shoebox) atm.

Nice ambiance there. The view out of the windows is great.

These pics arrive today to my inbox, that pc was built for my brother at the company where he works.
It'll be used for 3D rendering (sketchup + vray)

2x Opteron 6272 (2.1GHz 16cores)
Asus KGPE-D16
4x8GB ram (unknown specs)
Quadro K4000
Corsair AX-850
NZXT Phantom
hard drive (unknown specs)

C/m leaves much to be desired but I didn't build it.
Can't deny c/m seems to be tricky/annoying due to mobo size (form factor EEB 12"x13").
When given the opportunity, I will go over there to take some pictures that do justice to that little moster.-

I`d like to see 32 cores running cinebench.

thats a totaly right fact!!!

also happy time: i got a 2nd GTX580 Matrix and found a buyer for my Zotac, oh boy i cant wait till i get my hand on all the hardware, and start to do what i love the most: assembling rigs ...


Matrix SLI, Neo here i come! (whaaattt a gpu dont dodge bullets in slowmotion? all those years of hope and now a sade truth ruin it all... )

Is that a Compaq Evo?
I havent seen one of those in like, 8 years. Those things used DDR PC1 RAM!

Yes it is and it's surprisingly fast for a P4 socket 478. It's almost maxed out considering that the max cpu you could put was a 3.2-533mhz. The hard drive even older is almost new, really silent and is the quickest mode ever made for an IDE I think 7200RPM 2M cache Ultra-ATA.

Windows XP goes quick on it and Google Chrome make it even better.

Friend of mine in Hungary still uses a P4 478 to play TF2 xD
