Stonerboy779 Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Over the last few months I have had several upgreads that have resulted in me having a rather nice min rig. Its been ages since I have posted anything about it so I figured it was time. At the current time the rig is mainly a HTPC and gets shit loads of use when my girlfriend is round and we are just chillin in my bed. But also use it to play controller games namely racing games but will be firing up Witcher 2 and Skyrim soon to see all the eye candy on a 21:9 29" monitor powered by a GTX690. CPU - Intel Core i3-2100 - haha yeah its a little outta place Mobo - Asus P8Z77i Deluxe mITX Mono - words can't describe how awesome this little thing is RAM - 16GB Corsair Vengance Low Profile 1600MHz SSD - 128GB OCZ Vertex 4 HDD - 3TB Seagate GPU - Nvidia GTX690 - Love this thing, it has so much power and runs so cool CPU Cooler - Noctua UH9B - fits with negative 1mm in my case, it technically peptides slightly into the top 140mm Noctua exhaust fan Case - Silverstone SUG08 - or something or rather I'all check later, greatest case i have ever used. Everything fits just perfectly with no wasted space and the 600watt SFX PSU it comes with is just right for my rig Monitor (Primary) - Dell UltraSharp U2913WM 29" 21:9 - love it love it love it. Factory calibrated to well, well within the guidelines. It is just awesome for movies (its main use as my main rig still functions as a HTPC at the end of my bed most of the time.) And racing games are such fun too. Monitor (Secondary) - Acer 24" 1920x1080 Mouse - Razer Mamba 4G Keyboard - Rokat something or rather, its a condenced keyboard and kinda temporary. Game pad - Xbox 360 controller Remote - Hauppuage Media Center Remote - the best media center remote I have ever seen or used. Audio - Optical to my Audioengine D1 Dac which then feeds my Technical mini stack via RCA. Speakers - Warfdale Diamond III Bookshelf Speakers on Speaker Spikes to isolate them from my shelf. Nicest sounding bookshelves I have ever had the pleasure to hear and own. From here there are only two real things on the agenda. Slot loading slim DVD drive (possibly a bluray drive but god they're expensive) and 2x 512GB SSDs most likely Samsung 840 Pros.

AkakmanH Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 I realize that you are in Australia, but, here in Dallas, Texas I was at Fry's the other day to pick up a replacement DSL router. While browsing I noticed an ASUS Blu-Ray internal for $80 US. Cheaper than I thought http://www.frys.com/product/6561193?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonerboy779 Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Nice rig, pricey GPU! Got it from WARDOZERX so hundreds cheaper than here in aus ended up being only margainly more than a 4GB GTX 680 here. Aka there is a difference between bluray internal and slot loading slim internal bluray. The second costs easily double. I found a tray load slim bluray drive but would kinda rather a slot loading one, ideally the entirely black Silver stone one without any logos printed on it. However its ~$180 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroFight Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Definately a weak CPU, but otherwise a really nice rig you got yourself there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
