Your PC ATM

indestructible that seems to be a good word for it... isn't it? i mean ... wow thick alu plate ... i searched at the store thru the mouse pad and i found firstly the Vespula from Razer .... it was 10chf more than the Roccat (49.95chf) and then i found that Alumic alone behind a bunch of Siru and Raivo .... gosh the package was heavier than the Vespula and the alu core is way thicker and give a better feeling ... plus on touch the wrist rest is way more comfy than the Razer's one... 10chf less and feels better overall ... pretty much the feeling i got from all Razer product i replaced recently (mostly due to failure and hiccups from them)
Naga <=> G600
Mamba<=>G602
Destructor<=>Alumic
Lycosa<=>Aivia K8100V2
Orochi<=>M705 Marathon
only the Electra (headset) hold quite well ...

next month: white case (probably a C70 Arctic white) R.O.G Frontbase (maybe sooner for that one if i get some deal) another 8gb stick (probably a Fury red to go with the ROG thematic )
and i am also waiting (this week i hope) on some retro hardware delivery for my other retrobuilds upgrades (eh? it's not because they are old that we cannot upgrade them )

at last i know that tomorrow i will receive this baby at home
View attachment 58373

i am pretty happy about it and also about the price, thanks to my retailer promo on the 4690K and ASUS because they did a pretty ROG board at a affordable price

oh yeah and the ICING ON THE CAKE will be the wallpaper i requested from @Rezasam1 oh boy even if i am not on a hurry i am pretty excited to see what he will come with once done

C70's are crazy roomy, removed one of the drive cages and dropped in 140mm Akasa Venoms on every fan mount. Looks great, shame the machine hasn't been turned on in months
This thing weighs a tonne, and is very very solidly built.

thanks for the feedback, kindly appreciated that comfort me in my future choice as i said once my build is named DW-Shiro (after the character of Deadman Wonderland : Shiro) and Shiro means WHITE and her outfit has some hint of red ... my Carbide Spec-01 is cheap (but pack quite a lot for the price) black and white (replaced all the fans with some AF120/140 and a JetFlo for that purpose)
yet the black of the mobo is not so problematic, pupil and the circle around her iris, if you remember the Avatar i had once. (well ... mildly futile but you know ... according the thematic to the name is also important )

and i don't see myself seeking for a ASUS TUF Sabranco for the sake of the white board

as for the side of the Alumic ... i am dazzled how the blue side glow due to the monitor light and the finish of the surface (if i did understand correctly the black side is "speed" and the blue is "control" ? )

edit: on a second look it make me want to scream

"thunder, thunder, thunderROCCATs HO!"

i think i need a retro'testbench like @HammerON goodies here today

the 8600GT was fubar it seems no biggies

ALSO

just one word... WOW... *Dropjaw syndrome* i was right to be excited about the result ... bloody hell

Micro Machine?

Micro Machine?

Yep HTPC, takes a SFX PSU and I have a Corsair H50 for it. Its going to be tight. Literally

ASRock Z97M/ITX/AC so I should be able to OC fairly well

I am rooting for you!, Though I will say one recent one I built (G3258 and Z97-G55) sadly only hits 4.4ghz with 1.33 volts on an Antec Kuhler 650. Its a great performer for a 1080p machine I built at request on a budget.

I bet your going to have an awesome HTPC with that bad buy especially with how Tiny it is!

 

[GreiverBlade]

well the CPU auto OC of the MVIIR is not so bad ... 4487.17 (4.5 rounded)

that will be cool, impatient to see the result

No, that is not enough!!!!

I want 4.8-5.0 or no PC for you

I'm really interested in that board.... I've been looking at it for quite a while now and swooning lol


Keep us updated on all its glory

welll .... i have a 650w PSU a H60V2 (ok with a hell of a good fan on it) and a power hungry GPU ... judging how many review crash at 4.8 and remain kinda stable at 4.7... i might ... be tempted to try 5.0 but not for now
on the next upgrade : case and some other upgrades in that way

Well its sitting on the test bench. Driver install was perfect and W7 install done with a EVO SSD. Just need to strap on the H50 and start the OC.

With my little shop heatsink on it I hooked up the Watt meter and it pulls 56w at full load 50c. How cute

I guess Ill start a build log rather then muck up this thread

Just finished installing all the replacement hardware.

Ready for a 3rd monitor! Once I have more cash I'm going to build a little stand for the monitors so they don't have to be on books

I'm going to build a little stand for the monitors so they don't have to be on books

my TV(which is the screen of "Salvager Mk II" cf: system specs ) is on a cardboard box

next project well not my(future) pc atm...but i will have to do a mITX build for my mother
base
AM1 board (ASUS mostly)
Athlon 5350
SG05BB300 or 450 woops i just realized i took the same choice a @Jetster xD
4gb DDR3
slim ODD (well they have a lots of DVD
1-3tb hdd (7k2 SIII ) no need for a SSD
win 8.1 (yuck)

and as it seems that all my retailers are in league to make me fail to get a white case ...(and also since i finally decided myself for a mat black and red motherboard ...) i think i will settle down for a Black/Red thematic my new signature kinda give out the 1st choice... the 2nd would be a 760T Black if i get a bit more at the end of the month (the fans will still be white LED AF120/140 and JetFlo for a reminiscence )

Does your mom rly need a whole desktop PC? I mean I don't know if it's connected to her work, but won't she be more comfortable in the line of something less than a kilogram, that she can pop in her bag and take around? Like ultrabook or something? Just suggestin'.

Some people just enjoy having a desktop. I tried to move my mother towards a laptop and she just straight up refused, claiming a desktop is what she wants

well technically her carry around device is a iPad mini, she also has a Netbook (who is less powerfull than my ASUS FonePad 7 HD ) also no ultrabook or even laptop are cheaper than the build wishlist i did... at last where i am, still happy that she doesn't want a Mac due to the iPad

advantage : for a HTPC it will be quite fine

thanks error 503...

short mode ... OC and playing with the testbench summary : SP120 addition and bench
sitting on a Sequoia Root table (150kg my scared shine attest that fact: it's UNMOVABLE )
also that setup took the role of my HTPC ...

DAY/NIGHT fun time

silencing a SP120 ? well 1200rpm reducer from Cooler Master (1560rpm reading)


EPS12V 4pin only ? no biggies.


still clock not so bad 3.5(920RAM) then 3.6 (RAM 800 ) then 3.624 (RAM 906)

testing out the image quality of the S5 also a wild H80 appeared! it will soon have a brother in the coming weeks and a new lan worthy mod, trying to stay classy as possible.

its almost done. ahem.

Added a cpu block that I picked up over a year ago to my 7970 folding rig

Tubing still needs some tidying up.... I ran out of 3/8x5/8 tubing and fittings and had to use some 3/8x1/2 stuff temporarily

Using an EK 140mm rad and the rad/pump from a Swiftech H220

Temps are looking pretty good- mid 40's at full load crunching on the cpu and folding on the gpu

I now have my MX100 128GB installed in the Shoebox with Fedora 20 on it. Still not sure how I'm going to place it in there, waiting to see how I'm going to place the HDD, which I'm going to buy at some point.

And a little bonus, my new Xperia E1

How does the positive pressure work out for you? notice any difference if any at all with the top as intake? I've considered replacing the dust filter top on my case to the sound insulate one, and running it as an intake.

No dust is what i notice. And its quieter. The down side is when I had 7950s in Crossfire I had to add a 200mm to the side as an intake to deal with the heat but it still works fine. So with positive pressure + filters you will need more or faster fans to get the same cooling

My pc atm. I dunno if i will keep the r9 290's sell them an get another 780 or whaaat.
