[SmoKie McPott]

sorry m8. with no pics and just a link to your site, it looked as if you were trying to sell computers here..aka spam

 

[WeZaL]

weak

 

[DiabloAzul126]

Mediocre at best. It's just a sub-par system with no real mods.

 

[mrw1986]

There's no link to my site, and yes I know its sub-par I didn't post it as a "super computer." It's posted for people to look at and comment. No need for stupid comments like "weak."

 

[DiabloAzul126]

How about this for content: You've done nothing on the computer. Do cable management, do a few mods like I dunno any mods really case mods or otherwise, just do something out of the ordinary.

 

[Kursah]

Do a little more cable management and it'll be a decent setup. I like your setup. I don't know what the other dudes are talking about, but I wouldn't really take the opinion of people with little-to-no posts seriously, as spamming usually comes from those who don't help on the forums and don't try to give any suggestions or even creative critisism. Nice job so far, but keep it going and you'll have a good rig.

Just do yourself a favor and don't let those guys aggrivate you, if they can't give suggestions to make the case better, then they probably have no idea what to suggest as there's probably no experience, and with posts such as "weak", they probably won't be on TPU long since that is the least helpful post I've ever read, might as well have just kept huffin fumes instead of wasting time to post that! LoL!!!

Mrw1986, keep up the good work, get that cable management going, heck, if you can sleeve your cables (there's a how-to on TPU) and make it look cleaner.

Gotta say, that rates up there with the "weak" comment, kind of sad that you're wasting your time with even posting something like that. LoL! I gotta say mrw1986, these kind of people are just here to waste space, nothing useful will ever be read from their submissions. But I'm sure they'll get bored being stupid and either leave TPU or learn how to do something useful...or get dumber and forget how to turn on the PC, which be great for all of us.

Pretty much, I don't know how to turn on my compooter anymores.

Kursah FTWz!!!!

And for your rig, THE CABLESSS xD Do some cable management to start then later do mods o//

 

[Kursah]

Diablo, So you agree with what I posted aimed at you and the other lame users?

I'm not dogging on mrw1986's rig by any means, but it does need work, it just seems the rest of you won't even post suggestions, just lame and pointless posts like the post of yours I quoted, which does rank up there with WeZaL's "weak" post as the most useless post I've ever scrolled past. TPU is a place to help and give suggestions, not waste space...do you actually enjoy submitting pointless posts? I'm just curious...it annoys me to see people do what you have posted along with the rest of the yahoo's thus far in this thread.

 

[DiabloAzul126]

Well you come from that viewpoint, but my viewpoint was as follows: this part of TPU is called the Case Mod Gallery. So I normally pass judgment on cases based on modding that has been done, but thus far, nothing has really been modded on this case so I have nothing to judge upon besides specs, but I don't ever really take into account specs when judging one's case as the best cases are sometimes housing the most modest of systems. I am not an idiot, I am not a troll, I just have a different approach than you. That doesn't mean my way is better than yours but it is just how I work. I said: "You have done nothing on the computer." to get my point of no mods completed yet. And that's that. I haven't even rated the rig because I can't really make a decision on no mods.

 

[DiabloAzul126]

I mean, I can't really suggest anything further than the most rudimentary cable management because pictures are constrained, and there is no direction in the case mod as of yet.

 

[Nemesis881]

almost same specs as mine w00t

 

[Kursah]

That's cool and I understand your viewpoint, but I hope you understand my side as to actually trying to give the person suggestions/pointers and maybe even some constructive critisism to maybe give him some ideas as to where he can go with modding before cutting holes and modifying too much.

I was the first one to even post the suggestion for cable management, it just seems the rest of the posts were more of a waste, but that's my view. I hope that clears things up for both of us, as I understand your side, and that's cool if that's how you want to go about it. I preferr to give the person something to think about, maybe that's what they're looking for but didn't want to admit it, it's hard saying.

Ya, I prefer to help people out as well, I just felt I had nothing to run with (physical case modding, painting, etc.) this computer and the poster was expecting wonders out of everybody. But I suppose I'll just refrain from 'angry/pointless' posts.

 

[Kursah]

I don't mean to offend, and probably got too far out of hand in my past posts, but I just feel even this section should have more helpful/constructive posts. And as you said you noticed that it could use cable management, so at least you have common sense and are willing to stand up for what you posted and supported, gotta give you credit for that. TPU would be a better place if more people would refrain from such helpless posts, but that's the same for any forum out there. Thanks for your understanding, you'll have to check out the other sections of this forum if you decide to OC or want to help others, we can always use more people with experience in the hardware/software sections to help others. Take it easy.

 

[nora.e]

it's a box with some parts in it, so what.
oh now I get it, the blue light fan is a mod. again, so what.

 

[Thermopylae_480]

Hey guys. Cool it.

 

[Polaris573]

Please post constructive criticism, or at least a better explanation of your thoughts when commenting on a system. This applies to both positive and negative feedback. End of story. There will be no more discussions in this thread unless they are about mrw1986's system. All posts not discussing this specific system will be deleted and the poster may receive an infraction. If you have any questions/comments/suggestions/complaints feel free to send me a PM.

If you must comment, then please give more justification than a single word. This applies whether your comments are positive or negative.

You are free to express your feelings positive or negative about a system as long as you do it in a polite manner. Do not be abusive. Instead of saying "this system suxorz" think about what you like or dislike and inform the owner. There is usually a more tactful way of saying things.

 

[Kursah]

Thanks for re-iterating what I was trying to do. I think I came off a little rude myself, for that I aplogize, but I dislike coming to this part of the forum sometimes just due to the rude remarks I've seen much of lately. Polaris, I couldn't have put it better myself.

I never was expecting wonders from anybody. I'm looking for comments and suggestions on my rig. Also about the cable management its already done. I can't do anything with what I have there beside sleeving the cables, which I'm not going to do. For instance, there's no where to route my 24pin cable because of lack of length and places to route. I'm building an entirely new rig and selling this to my cousin, and for what he needs its fine. Also there's a hidden cathode in there as well as 2x LED fans. Those are considered mods, I've seen much less modded cases in this gallery, so keep your non-constructive criticism to yourself. Also the case looks much better in person, the camera adds 20lbs. The cable management is excellent besides the non-sleaving/24pin. What looks like a jungle of wires is just the 24pin, then theres a cable that goes to the case fan which can not be routed due to length. I've done the best possible solution to cable management that this case allows.

Thank you,
mrw1986

 

[Kursah]

Yeah the 24-pin's usually create the largest part of chaos, at least you have them primarily in the same area. And hey mrw1986, you have gotta lot of attention to this thread =). What are your plans for your new rig?
