Wow, the 902 is such a cool little case!

And A+ job on cable management, your PSU, HSF, and GFX Cards are so huge, you can't see em'! Lol!

Awesome rig!

[LittleLizard]

[ty_ger]

It definately was a tight fit.

Can I buy your PC for $600?

8/10

I like it but theres not really any mods performed but the parts and tidiness is really top-notch, GJ

 

[richardbel]

damn it's awesome...

cables are well covered by ur components, great! overall it's an xpensive-hi-end PC ..
looks simple outside yet sophisticated inside give me a strong feel.
and yes, as said, just lack of some custom mods. it'd excellent if come up with liquid-cooling!
but it's 9/10 from me bro, congratz!

how's the temp of ur GFX or CPU anyway? looks very tight there, should be running hot, especially with those 3 beasts installed there..

welcome check out my RIG !

[legends84]

[_jM]

nice rig bro!

How you like the 902? I love they way it looks like a mini 1200 and w/all black interior!
How hot do the 285's get?

I am liking the 902. For this build I insisted that I have a mid tower case instead of a full tower case. The only thing I don't like about the 902 is the styling at the top where the rear fan is located. I can get over it though since the case functions and is put together very well.

The 285 cards are limited by their factory fan profile. Regular gaming gave me 75-80c temperatures and FurMark gave me 90+c temps. The factory fan profile is set to not increase the cards to 100% fan speed until just short of 90c.

I made a custom fan profile and now the cards run 70-75c in games and load temps in FurMark are 80-83c. I find that the factory fan at 100% keeps my cards at 83c under full load after an extended time. That is just a limitation of the cooler.

Damnnnnn. That is sexy! You should join the F@H and WCG teams Help fight cancer with those beasts (when you are dominating every game)

 

[tzitzibp]

powerful rig! one to be proud of!

 

[computertechy]

tbh that looks perfect in that case! 9/10

it wouldnt look the same in another case

brutal build!!!

 

[pentastar111]

Superb!

 

[PEPE3D]

not messy

It looks pretty good. 3-sli. Nice.

 

[overdrive]

cool

fantastic ... 9/10

 

[digitalblasphamy]

nice

nice rig man, i think my next rig is going to be an nvidia rig, 8/10 for good form this just goes to show you that you can fit 1000lbs of shit in 100lb sack, and to the dude who wants to buy it for $600 that might take care of the graphics cards but thats about it

 

[Duke_GuRu]

Nice looking and very neat, good job on the cable management. I respect that you didn't mod the case 'cause she is a beauty. but consider playing a little with the outside I think the outside of the 902 could be greater if modded slightly, but a gain I respect your choice I really like it.

I voted 4/10 because:

Where is the Mod....just buying expensive stuff nothing done by yourself

I voted 2/10 because:

There were no mods at first.

It is nice hardware tastefully selected and assembled in a pleasing package.

I understand that you think the rating given to my computer by the community here was way too high in your opinion, but please at least give me an honest rating based on artistic and thorough assembly; not a 2. I know it is fruitless to state this, but your role here is to vote on the overall quality of a computer based on your opinion of that system. It isn't your duty to vote very high or very low just to affect the overall score of a computer just because its present score isn't what you would want it to be.

Since I originally posted this system, I did make some mods.

I installed the Corsair H50 instead of the V8 cooler. I made a push-pull setup with the H50 and in order to do so with such a small case and such a large vreg heatsink on the motherboard, I had to make a spacer out of a tupperwear container. You can see it in the pic if you look for it. It isn't a large or difficult mod, but it was a finicky mod and it is a done mod.

Then, I modded 275 backplates to make them fit on my 285s and installed them.

Finally, I volt modded (physical mod) the 285s.
