My rig, inside and out.

As promised, pics of my entire rig.

Image
My entire setup... Currently SUPER messy because today is a homework day. It drives me insane that I have such a tiny desk.
But then again, my room is only 11x11-ish, and the doors and bed take up a TON of space. I mean, the closet just BARELY clears the desk. BARELY.

Image
Ya. Really messy.

Image
Dual monitors makes EVERYTHING more fun.

Image
First monitor... Sporting the New Posts section of this site :)

Image
Second monitor... Used mainly for online chat via Pidgin, checking eMail, using uTorrent, and looking at Gadgets.

Image
Mouse and mousepad.
Mouse is an optical Logitech USB wired mouse.
Mousepad is a Steel Series. It's really big. 0.o

Image
My keyboard. Came with my last computer, really liked the feel. Just wish the keys were backlit...
Ignore my feet at the bottom :)

Image
Underside of my desk... Gotta fix it up a bit. Wish my desk weren't so tiny...

Image
Front of my tower... I love the case.

Image
The stickers that came with my stuff!
In order, top to bottom:
Corsair
Gigabyte
EVGA
Arctic Cooling
Intel
This is the left side of my case, aka, the side where you can get to everything. It comes off all the time so that I can stare at my blue fan :)

Image
Back of my tower. Don't let the emptiness deceive you. I'm using 5 of the 8 USBs, the keyboard PS/2, and two DVI slots. It's pretty cramped back there.

Image
Dark view of whole case. Dark so you can see the fan glowing :D
Image
Light view of whole case. Light so you can actually see things :D

Image
This PSU is just amazing. Comes with some great stuff, and it powers everything.

Image
This CPU fan needs to be turned around... It's blowing air out the wrong way. The fan sucks in air, instead of pushing it out. My friend pointed that out to me a couple days ago. Gonna turn it around after I get my VGA cooler.

Image
Motherboard... Bridge? I'm not sure. But whatever it is, it's emblazoned with the word Gigabyte. I love it :)

Image
What the crap are those black things?!
Those would be my extra PSU cables :)
Thank God for giant drive bays, hugh?
My HDD is sitting in the floppy drive bay, because I pulled out the hard drive bay to better move air from the front to the back. Quite brilliant, I think.

Image
Here's my video card. It's really awesome. Great for playing video games maxed out at 1440x900 too :)

Image
My neon blue case fan. It's awesome.



EDIT

Some new and updated pics of my system. Got all my PSU cords out of the way, so now you can actually see stuff.

Image
My case looks beautiful when there's no PSU cords in the way.

Image
Put the fan back in the right place.

Image
Picture of my HDD. You can actually see it now.

Image
No, my computer is not on fire. That's what it looks like when it turns on.



If you would like to know more about the hardware in my rig, just check the last link in my sig. It'll take you directly to my post about it, complete with links on where to buy MOST of the stuff.

Re: My rig, inside and out.

Water cooling?! Lucky...

I <3 this PSU. It was well worth the $$.

It's got tons of stuff... I think that there's like, two PCIe, one 20/24, a ATX 4/8, five molex, about 2 or 3 HDD... It's great. My only complaint is there are TOO MANY. :lol:
It only cost about $115 on NewEgg.
Corsair makes great stuff.

Re: My rig, inside and out.

Rig looks nice got the same PSU its wonderful. Once you get that cooler turned around it should run a bit cooler and maybe do a bit of cable management if you can not sure how much room you got behind the mobo tray.

Re: My rig, inside and out.

You can always bunch the cables together with small cable ties, but Rick Arter is right, it is highly advised to get that CPU HSF turned around so the fan blows towards the back. at the moment, you are moving the hot air from the CPU into the case where you really don't want it to be.

Re: My rig, inside and out.

Ya I'm gonna turn that fan around after I get my GPU cooler... I just noticed that it was backwards when taking these pictures. I did a *facepalm* when I saw it.

And I don't have a mobo tray :cry:
There's virtually NO room behind my motherboard.
I'm gonna take out the extra PSU cables, twist tie them, and then put them back into the drive bays. Hopefully it'll look a lot nicer in there...

Re: My rig, inside and out.

Updated the pics :)

Fixed up everything that I was planning on fixing earlier this week when I had nothing to do...
Now my CPU runs at 51/51C on 100% Orthos stress tested :)
That's a 6C drop in temps. I'm quite happy!
Haven't checked case temps, but I'm sure that they're a bit lower. I've got a front intake and a rear exhaust now. Fixed my rear fan 'cus it was backwards :roll:

I believe it is, yes.

Not entirely sure, though. Got it for Christmas and didn't look at the package it came in XD
