Your PC ATM

I think that's the same board I had before I killed it with a bad power supply cable

 

[micropage7]

Nothing really special but this Precision T1500 be replacing the QX6700 tower as my desktop. Might swap the R7-240 with an HD4850 but the performance difference between them isn't that great.

Picked it up for free sans hard drive, ram, video card and case side. Built now it's a:
Core i7 870
8 GB ram
Dual 500 GB HDDs in RAID 0 until I get the proper 1 TB out
Radeon R7-240 1 GB (GDDR5)
Stock 430W Lite-On PSU.

nice, but i really wanna build a sleeper
stock outside but rock inside

Sorry for bad quality... heres my desk set up--- about to get a new desk though for christmas

Mouse is a G600.... Keyboard is a G105, and the Headset is a G235... I wanted to get the G430 surround sound headset, but it was a little to much atm.

This is without SSD

(drat my AF120 has a dead led ) but yep Air 540 is good to hide cable mess ... i really need a modular PSU...

Last time that happened on me I sat there staring at it instead of playing games to the point I final yelled and took the fan out of the computer to repair. I was actually able to just solder the LED and it started working again (It had somehow gotten loose) but it drove me up a wall

@t_ski @Easy Rhino

That is a beastly looking setup with the dual Xeons under Swiftech blocks and the Swiftech water block to match!!! All that silver and white really complements each other very well in the machine!

 

[khemist]

Got me five of those Noctua industrial fans, 50% off, not in the pc atm but will be using them in the next setup whatever it is.

I just couldn't say no at that price.

I guess you can call it my PC.

DMX Profusion D music player. It loads a linux distro off the DVD and has some proprietary stuff to play music. It's made for stores and such and as such the music quality isn't too great but it's listenable.

I'll work on hacking something together later that loads music off a flash drive or something. Won't be too hard since it's bone stock x86 hardware.

Specs are:
700 MHz VIA C3
64 MB SDRAM
FSP 170W PSU
GFXcel Motherboard (nice and low end).

Pretty happy with the outcome given that the Antec 900 (at least the old one, like I have) basically doesn't have any cable-management features. Not perfect--in particular not happy with the front-panel audio and power/reset/LED wires draping down through the middle, but otherwise it worked well. Long SATA cords and whatnot meant I was able to group everything around the 24pin and run it along the side of the drive cage.

Specs:
Antec 900
Foxconn H61MD
Core i3 3220
Antec H2O-620
Corsair 400W
2x4GB DDR3
Kingston 120GB SSD
Random DVD-RW drive

The PCIe power plug is left bundled up on the floor of the case for now because I have a GPU on the way.

Get a smaller case

wow that board, reminds me of pentium 3 era
but anyway when i take a look at I/O ports looks like brand new board

Well, the goal is to sell it locally at some point, and in a case with a window and blue LEDs means that I'll be able to get a far better price for it

And here is my main computer (in all its dusty glory):

Nice to not have to deal with S-ata cables to SSDs anymore (they fall out)

Does that cooler work better than it looks?

infinitely..ees oogly..but 6-11c below ambient res water 24/7 ..no matter load/platform/chip.
will handle watever and res water stays below ambient

Impressive
If it wasn't so big and inconvenient I might have to look into building one.

 

[Schmuckley]

It's quite convenient..I can change platform in 5 mins.

That's impressive! How much water does it evaporate (and how often does it have to be refilled)?

Is that a Fractal Define R4 I spy your server in? Mine uses one as well!

 

[Schmuckley]

It evaporates about a pint a day.I fill a 1 1/2 gallon jug up every other day or so.
I do keep a capful of bleach and 1/2 cup of distilled vinegar in it.
(It's a 48-qt cooler almost full)

The double-bong in that link would probably evaporate twice as much.

 

[Brusfantomet]

yes, yes it its started off with a Nanoxia Deap Silence 1, but it had problems accepting HDDs in all the drive rails, so changed it over to the Define R4, witch also takes 2 SSDs in the back of the MB tray, allowing for 8 3.5" drives

Yeah! Me and you have the same keyboard! Except mine is the COD edition with the green backlighting plus my dad painted it the same lime green as my case.

Heh, didn't realise people still make evaporation coolers these days, ugly things, but the performance is stellar. I'd urge most people to try one of these before sub zero cooling, it's almost as effective
How long have you run it for?

 

[Jetster]

Its a swamp cooler. Not very effective and in high humidity not effective at all. Well if its 90f and dry in your house then it would work
