Damn I love this case, probably getting one too for my main rig.

Nice build even though it's a bit older, what GPU is in it?

It says it on the backplate HD 7970 Matrix

I assume that the yellow tint is from the intense lighting, right?

 

[Ivan Bliminse]

Yes very intense !

Now you only need to use a Mr Bean action figure as anti-sag device:

Back in the Litecoin mining rush, those were what I built rigs with. Darn near indestructable cards. And as much as some here hate mining, coming from a miner, that is pretty high praise.

Sucks tho that it won't reach Matrix Platinum clocks :/

I'll see what I can do when I change my case (getting a Corsair 4000D also for my main rig, pics of my 2nd rig in such case on the previous page)

 

[xtreemchaos]

i like the 4000D loads of room for pumps rads and piping, im thinking of another open case maybe a P3 to go a bit smaller. yes nice rigg your 2nd i like it.

I see that pink joystick almost in every single picture you post

Its battery is dead so I have to use it with a cable

Yuppers, that's a 5:3 tube. I used a monitor like that BITD. They had some of them at Evans & Sutherland for dev work on high end GFX at that time. You should have seen the cards they were connected too.. Talk about drool-worthy setups..

EDIT:
Look at it this way, they were widescreen before widescreen was a thing.

You mean like one of those?

Bring back the early 2000s!

(I do have an AM2 or LGA775 build coming up..)

Whenever I get complacent/frustrated/full of myself, I try to remind myself of the excitement I felt when I finished building my first one. Reflecting on 8 years of trial-and-error, 8 years of hands-on learning, and 8 years of Noctua I wish I could find that 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 GT 640 though, it would be a bit of a unicorn today.

For my sake, I hope I have improved a bit - look at the cooler fan wires back then

Earliest photo I have to hand is a build 10 years ago though as with your builds I've gone from a honking great big nzxt to a tiny sffpc

Here's my oldest build I have pics from

2500K, Z68, GTX 470, probably 16GB RAM, bd-rom, Define R2 etc

Oh a ram cooler that takes me back my brother demanded one when I built his though tbh it wasn't a bad idea since he lived in the Mediterranean.

I wish I could find someone with my old CRT monitor setup in 2004 when I played WoW... would be interesting to go back and experience it, see if it really was just nostalgia or was it really a ****** experience. I regret throwing away so many things over the decades. So many things I'd love to go back to for nostalgia reasons. Oh well. I do still have my GameBoy Color, its fun sometimes. I wish I had kept my GBA though.

I used a dell LCD by the time wow started, I still have the dell dimension p4 it came with since then I kept everything even if it broke.
The above nzxt build I still have and was running up until a few years ago but I stopped using it as a gaming server for my Nvidia k1. The vrms are a bit cooked and the gtx580 died long ago even though it's still on my shelf back in the uk. For nostalgic purposes I might restore the board if I have time.

I have one still (Corsair as well, got it from my interwebz buddy as he got a 4x16 kit few years ago and it included a cooler which he gave to me) but no clearance - I'd put it otherwise on my 2nd PC as its RAM runs hella hot. Just the pump-res is on its way, dammit.
