Bought a new mic rig for my recordings. Still can't decide on what mic to attach to it, so just sticking with the Blue Snowball for now. Hopefully future video voice will suck less.

What vehicle rolled on those RC tires?

Last they were on some thing was a Slash 4x4 but dam they were totally awesome on a Rustler with some car wheel lead weights although turning car just = flying car. so much miss my Sprint 2 but got rid off it as the kid liked offroad more lol.

Had to call of this years fun with them due to bad battery's costing around $200 and Venom are just being ignorant that their battery's in storage can dangerously bulge.

Benchmark Scores bench...mark? i do leave mark on bench sometime, to remember which one is the most comfortable. :o
overnight delivery is the best delivery ... so yeah i need a Laptop for my holidays, and i had a ultra limited budget ... so in my line of sight i had countless Celeron Atom Pentium laptop and some i3 Haswell ... until i saw a Dell Vostro 3549 for just under 460$ you get what you pay for :
plastic frame
15.6" in 1366x768
single channel ram and 4gb (not a problem i just need to find in which box i did put my 8gb Kingston Fury So-dimm ...)
500gb 5400rpm (not a problem i have a spare 7200rpm aside ... just a lil Macrium and ~11minutes )

tho ... unless all other similarly priced notebook in his range (some are even higher priced :laugh: ) instead of a pentium celeron or haswell i3 ... that one has a I5-5200U (well the lowest Broadwell i5 but still enough ) and a HD5500 is gladly welcome over a HD4400
also come with a Win 8.1 Pro recovery DVD and license but is downgraded to Win 7 Pro (with Win 10 upgrade due in time ofc) quite a welcome downgrade for me :laugh:

IMG_20150714_121008.jpg

update: i had a little aprehension about Macrium cloning ... well, dissipated ... the cloning from the WD blue 500GB 5400rpm to a Hitachi 500GB 7200rpm went all smoothly and works perfectly no reactivation needed whatsoever. :D (and i used the free version ... around 11 minutes i didn't expect it to be that fast ...)

Clipboard01.jpg

update 2: well it seems that it will be able to handle FFXIVHW at lowest settings (the Laptop barely got hot during the bench and also even on lowest settings DX9 that game looks gorgeous)
Clipboard02.jpg Clipboard03.jpg
1st run standard Laptop settings 2nd run a bit more tweaking :roll:

also i could try steam stream for fun ... but i would not let my main rig run during my whole vacations, just to use that function :)

That's a sample from a CAT 6 cable I got at the Scandinavian Industrial Expo in Denmark last year. It's pretty thin. They don't sell them at home. I asked the guy what was the purpose to develop this type of cable. He said "to reduce cable clutter" in server rooms. I can't remember the name of the company though, sorry. On the second picture it's compared to CAT 5E. I don't have regular CAT 6 laying around right now.

Did you mean to reverse the fan on the back panel so it acts as an intake?

I did. As the top three rad fans are blowing out the top, I wanted the rear fan to bring in cool air. Haven't tried it before, but I do not have any front intake fans...
We will see if it was a bad idea or not.

i did the same previously with a Corsair carbid Spec-01

tho with my AIR540 both 240mm rad have SP120L fan in intake and only 1 AF120L in front intake and 1 AF140L in exhaust on the back.

now ... i want the Bitfenix Atlas to be available where i live ... :cry: (iirc still not released :laugh: )

I did the same thing in my Corsair Obsidian 800D case except with the radiator on that spot. I reversed it to intake which actually reduced my temps along with keeping the computer a bit less dusty (Air filter).

I also see your removed one of the radiators (Or Its moved), not planning to watercool that card?

Either way lookin good!

I am hoping to watercool the card. It just depends if someone decides to make a block for it. It is nice to not have to run two GPU's to play games at 2560x1600:toast:

Nice build.
Are you leaving those holes open on the back panel, or closing them off somehow to force all air through the radiators?

Visit to parent's house. Time for maintenance of the old dog:

IMG_0455.ajpg.jpg

Specs: HDD1: Sandisk 128 GB SSD/ HDD2: Seagate SATA 2 500 GB/ GPU: GT 640 4GB DDR3/

RAM: 2x2GB Kingston HyperX 1066mhz/ CPU: Q9505 /MOBO: Asus P5Q-EM/ PSU: CoolerMaster SIlent Pro M500

Sound: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI Sound Card (SB0790)/ LAN: TPLink TG-3468 / Case: CM ELite 360

Something from the actual process: I removed the top 120mm exhaust fan. It seems it attracts more dust than it helps cooling. Also SSD+HDD+ODD are one cable, I hope it's not a problem.

Guess I can dump this in here. Still needing one last things, which is why the wires are a bit all over the place.

After reading your thread about doing this, you make me want to do a liquid loop. It might have to be my next upgrade after the 390. I just would have to figure out how I would want to do it on my case. The Antec 1200 has a lot of places to do things but, some of it is positioned weird and a lot of it would require significant changes to the chassis. I think if I did, I might consider rigid acrylic and use a heat gun to form it but right now it's all just a dream. We'll see how I'm feeling come the holiday season but in all seriousness, the amount of ambient noise that my PC and the AC makes, is driving me up a wall and I would really like a quieter office.

I didn't notice how loud my PC was until I started using my MBP on two of my displays for work and noticing how quiet it was with only a laptop making zero noise. It was wanting.

With that said, with that many rads and fans, is it quiet or is it just as loud as before? That's also a ton of cooling capacity.
Huzzah, new Dell 4K IPS monitor arrived. Just spent the last hour setting up DPI scaling and colour calibrating both panels.

/me drools.
How does it fare with the 970?

Surprisingly well. Disable AA in every game because of the ppi, and I'm getting "acceptable" fps in most high fidelity indie and older AAA titles at around 45fps. The witcher 3 was low, around 30 fps with everything on ultra. Normal games like path of exile are pulling 60fps average which is pretty cool. Not quite there yet, definitely want to upgrade to something with more oomph for better fps. 30 in witcher doesn't feel smooth at all.

The Club3D cooler weren't very quiet at all. But the watercooling is incredibly quiet. Still missing the thing to control the fans, so only half are wired up currently.

Snatched it on a sale (~8.7 Eur, delivery incl). I don't have a purpose for it yet. 31.8mm height. The protective plastic cap is pretty firm on the bottom. 3-pin header/ 1800 RPM.
