Man, what a beautiful rig! Thanks for the photos. Looks kind of tight. How do you move around in there?---Changing parts? You certainly keep it cool enough.

Thanks.

I was a bit lucky when my big cpu cooler arrived. I got not more then 1cm between fans and sidepanel :P. But it's a really good cooler, now running my i7 2600k on 4.3ghz (idle-29°, load-63°). On 4.8ghz it's 70°C maximum. It cools better then a noctua nh d14 I read, and I bought it for less!

I changed alot in the past years. First I let my pc build by the company alternate (2 years ago), now I changed; mobo, cpu, case, gpu, cooler and I bought a SSD drive half a year ago.
I really love my case, much bigger then my previous one, every fan has a dust filters, pretty much room, much place for drives and other features.

The secret of my cable management; I use plastic stitches to bind those cables, so it isn't bothering my cooling. I also fit the long cable behind the mobo. (also a nice feature on my case; it has holes in the right plate for the cables of my drives.)

Also thinking about getting a new gpu soon.
Need something to hold my rig above the ground, but can't find something :'(.

OMG its Kornowski!

Nice to see you around dude,Awesome looking system. :)

@Gooberman,How are you finding your Phanteks PH?

It's huge, orange and runs quiet it can hardly fit in the case lol. Luckily I wasn't dumb and got high profile ram. On the weekend I'll overclock more with friends and see how high my little i5 can go :)

I got high profile :'(. But I was able to lift the first fan high enough.
Hope your mobo is good enough to oc over 4.8ghz... Mine doesn't.
 
Decided to try moving things around at school so I could use two monitors. Have my tower resting on the subwoofer (as to not be on the floor). We'll see how this works.

Could the subwoofer cause any damage to any of my hard drives? The HDD trays have rubber anti-vibration spacers on them.

It should not damage anything, if you attached every component properly.
How big is your cpucooler? If it's an heavy one, it can maybe bend the mobo, but don't think so.

It is possible that subwoofer can damage hard drive with very strong vibration. Also it can hurt monitor if speaker is too close them. I would put tower on other side and put subwoofer on other side as well. Such as 3 feet or more between subwoofer and tower.
 
Going back to full ATX soon so in preparation I picked up a new case and swapped everything over today.

Thermaltake V3 black edition. Cheap case but not that bad for the price.

Cable management looks all right. :) I see there aren't that many management holes in the case though. :(

Reinstalled a machine today for a friend today, will get pics up tomorrow most probably. It's out in the garage as it STINKS of tobacco (parents are smokers) and I didn't want to make my room/house smell of tobacco.
 
Yeah it's not great for cable management, I think I did good with what I had.

Also, with a full ATX board all the power and USB cables will run along the bottom instead of being in the middle like it is with a micro board.
 
Once I get a full ATX board in, those front header cables will go through that same hole that the 8 pin CPU power does and out to the back of the case so they will be virtually hidden then.

I also need to pick up another 90 degree black sata cable for the top DVD drive. I only had one DVD drive in that micro case.

Edit- Will post the pics again since they are on the last page already-

Usually I try to route them close to where they plug into the board, depends on the case though, not every case allows you to do that unfortunately. :(
 
That 660 Ti is GOOD LOOKING. Cheese, i want it. Except for the short length, I hate how nvidia is doing that.

Smells absolutely hideous. Had to remove a 9600 GSO out of his old PC to put into his FX-4100 one, the card itself was covered in sticky, horrible, tabocey stuff and took me an age to get it all off. Smelt horrible too. It's all clean now, but it was most unpleasant having to deal with it. My clothes and fingers smell of tobacco too now.

Original card was something like a Radeon HD 5450 (very low-end Radeon), and as he had a 9600 in the last PC I built him, I told him to bring it over so I could swap the cards so he got the best performance out of his gaming rig.

I know what a HD 5450 is, cheese man, I am not a idiot Lolz :cool: Yeah, at least i didnt have to do it :D
 
I wasn't implying you didn't know what it was, I was just saying it was a very low-end Radeon. May not have even been a 5450, I didn't check, I just guessed. He's got a 9600 GSO in it now, will be much better for him. :D

No offense, but these are both ridiculous answers. First of all, what does the size of my CPU cooler have to do with the subwoofer? (It's the Hyper N 520 BTW). And the speakers damaging the monitor? Please. The only damage I'm concerned with is the hard drives.

Travis, to answer your original question about your sub damaging stuff, I say no it likely won't. I've had subs sat next to my PC before and even at full bass (that's when things around the room start vibrating), nothing was damaged at all. Obviously you're not going to be using 100% bass all the time, so the sub won't vibrate much at all and shouldn't damage anything.
