Post A Pic Of Your Pc Here :)

Finally put together this afternoon - all went together pretty well and started up first time without the usual error beeps! Very quiet (without any load - no o/s installed yet), and temps all pretty good after running for a few hours.

It's designed to be as quiet as possible - no fancy graphics cars yet - so it's just a 2.66 core2quad with Cogage 140mm Fan, 4gb DDR3 1333mhz ram, Gigabyte GA-EP43T-UD3L motherboard, 500gb seagate system drive and 1tb hitachi storage, Zalman ZM600-ST 600W power supply, 512mb ATI4350 video card, Zalman fan controller, and a couple of Fractal Design 80mm fans. A copy of windows 7 will be bought shortly, along with an RME RayDat soundcard, which I'm still saving the pennies for!

It's in a 4u rack-mount case - just over 40cm deep so it fits in a small rack case.

cool. i have never actually seen an assembled case like that.
 
looks cool. looks like no chance of cable management though. still it doesn't look like they impede airflow too much.

I think there's enough flowing through it. It's not like there's a big graphics card in there either.

I reckon I'll order another 2 80mm fans though - 2 of them were meant to be in the case behind the cpu cooler, but since it's so bloody huge I'll have to attach them to the outside of the case - wire them together, and plug them into the fan controller.

No space behind the m/board like a regular case, so what you see is what you get. A modular psu would no doubt help, but hey.

The important thing is it looks expensive and professional from the outside - impress the clients!
 
Thats it? :P:P

Was 7.8 when I had a fresh OS install, since adding all the programs and stuff it dropped to 7.7.

Well, I enabled AHCI, disabled indexing, ran Intel SSD Toolbox, maybe some other tweaking I forgot, along with putting the SSD as first boot. Got a much better score (+.3), and this is with zero over-clocking. I can be internet ready in 45 seconds from a cold start.

Uses just 29mb of RAM on idle :eek:
 
I know I need cable management. Doesn't matter to me though. My temps are good. Besides, this'll be a secondary computer in a few months.

Anywho, this is how I have my desktop set up in my dorm. Everyone that comes in and sees it is like "OMFG THATS AWEZOME!" I just go oh. They don't know it's nothing special haha. (Specs are in sig)

i wonder if those people would like the case more if you had good cable management, or if would they not appreciate it...
 
Isn't only about the cable management, but also the side panel having that thing in the middle ( is that a fan?), so lol meh

I like how my side panel is. Yeah the side fan is a bit annoying to have to unplug, but I like the look.
