Thanks.
Yeah it's a 17", I rarely play games on it, I encode videos mostly. Occasionally I'll play AOE III or UT. I want to get an LCD just for space sake, but I am not too worried about it. Also the picture quality is better on my CRT.

3M makes these cool little clips that you can get at home depot and office supplies, like these at Office Depot. If you do a search on "3M command" you should get something that will fit your requirement.

There must be a million pounds worth of kit displayed on here, heres some more too add, check out these neons !

:dog: woof

Yea that guys case sucks. Whats the point of having UV if its coverd by the white and his cable management is horrible.

ok, had the camera out today for some other pics and decided to snap a few as the lab pc's are getting a little reorganized (ie: building a new machine for momma since hers is probably 18 months old?).

http://www.angrygames.com/pics/cases/lab/

the pics are all at full resolution or cropped from full resolution except for one.

Momma's old rig:

DFI LanParty NF4-D (modded to SLI-D)
AMD64 4000+ San Diego @ 2400Mhz (stock speed)
2x1GB OCZ Platinum DDR400 2-3-5-2
XFX 7800GT 256MB PCI-E w/Arctic Cooling Accelero
Creative Audigy2 ZS PCI sound
2x36GB WD Raptor @ RAID-0
Fortron "Blue Storm" 500w psu
Thermalright XP-90 w/Enermax 92mm adjustable fan
Chieftech Dragon all-aluminum ATX case
Aspire 4-channel LCD fan controller (that beeps constantly and drives her crazy since I never set the fan alarms haha)


Then there's what she's going to be using once her college semester is over and I can change her out without worry, these are pre-build stages (getting all the overclocks and such tested out to make sure no problems).

I'll be going almost-passive in the cooling for this machine. The cpu has a Thermalright Ultra-90 passive heatpipe on it, and the chipset has the Thermalright HR-05 passive chipset heatpipe on it.

The ATI X1900XT 512MB has an Arctic Cooling Accelero X1 on it, and is dead silent until you get into some heavy 3d games, then it is BARELY audible. Only thing I don't like is that it expels heavy heat, especially with the card clocked to 675/750 right now, and most likely a final clock of 700/750, right out the bottom at the PCI-E slot.

I'll devise an expulsion/exhaust cooling setup somehow though that will stay low noise or possibly silent.


Then there's the Hiper 580w. While this psu is not dead silent, even under full load it is barely audible. As silent as the Fortron psu she already has in her rig.

I've got a Sunbeam 4-channel fan controller going into a Coolermaster Centurion Elite ($39 @ SVC! and Thunda already has one and loves it) with silent Coolermaster 120mm in the front and rear, a couple of silent Coolermaster 80mm's on the side and probably another 120mm Coolermaster in the bay area (these cases are mesh-front for airflow just like Stacker and Centurion!).

DFI Infinity Ultra-II M2 (Socket AM2)
AMD64 X2 4800+ Windsor (2x1MB L2, 2400Mhz stock) @ 225x12 (2707Mhz)
2x1GB OCZ Gold GX DDR2-1000 5-6-6-15
ATI X1900XT 512MB PCI-E w/Arctic Cooling Accelero X1
2x80GB Hitachi SATA II @ RAID-0
Creative Audigy2 ZS (not installed yet)
NEC 3500A DVD-RW
Hiper Type R 580w modular psu
Coolermaster Elite ATX case
Thermalright Ultra-90 passive cpu cooler + Thermalright HR-05 SLI passive chipset cooler
Sunbeam 4-channel fan controller
fans, some fans, a couple of fans, more fans, and then a fan or two







And then there's the faithful server...

Skyhawk all-aluminum case (Lian Li clone! impossible to find now but were $29 @ newegg!
DFI Lanparty Pro 875A
Intel Pentium 4 Northwood 3.4Ghz Engineering Sample (800FSB, Hyperthreaded)
2x1GB Corsair TwinX2048 Platinum (UCCC's)
Sapphire Radeon 9500NP (modded to 9700Pro) AGP 128MB
Seasonic S12-600 psu
80GB IDE IBM Deathstar boot drive
2x 160GB Hitachi storage drives RAID-1 (one IDE w/SATA converter)
2x 250GB Seagate 7200.10 external enclosure backup/storage drives
Thermalright XP-120 cpu cooler + 120mm Coolermaster fan
Sunbeam 4-channel fan controller






well that about covers is for now other than this new rig I built and am testing:

http://www.angrygames.com/Corsair/Nautilus/


Vigor Gaming ATX case (customized CM Stacker!)
Corsair Nautilus 500 watercooling w/ Corsair gpu waterblock for 7xx0 series gpu's
DFI Infinity 975X/G
Intel Core2Duo E6400 (2.13Ghz stock speed) @ 400x8, 3200Mhz
2x1GB Corsair XMS2 Dominator DDR2-1066
2x Leadtek 7950GT 256MB PCI-E @ SLI w/84.56mod2 drivers
OCZ GamerXstream 700w psu
250GB Seagate 7200.10 16mb cache hdd
NEC 3550A DVD-RW
Sunbeam 4-channel fan controller
Corsair Dominator memory cooler
always fans


ok that's my 'picture blog' for now

ps: some temps from the semi-passive cooling (have silent 120mm fans blowing over the general area(s) )

Heres a few pics of my rig, gotta love the cable management nightmare of the P180.

hey dude...rules are your friend...you agreed to them at least twice before being allowed to post...maybe you should be getting to know your friends, the rules, a bit better...

Yeah I think somethings wrong with my photobucket sorry. I used photobutcket to resize the images to 640X480 but the thing says they are to large. :confused:

Sometimes you have to log out and back in to photobucket, if you resize with photobucket

My Rig. It suits my needs for web browsing and digital photography. I no longer have time for gaming

I walk you through the steps of how I modify the Thermaltake Tsunami VA3000 for resale.

20 mins.

Here is my case that I have been working on for some time.
Lots left to do on it, but it is coming together.

That's awesome! Do you have a worklog?

No worklog, Still have a lot of work to do yet (sides, mounting fans, cable routing). I guess I could take some more pictures of stuff, if anyone wants to see them.

I'm building a case of my own, so if you wanted to make a short work summary or something it'd be very helpful to me. You don't have to but I'd be very interested to see it. :nod:

Dude this is some serious pump in there! :eek2:

wow thats crazy dude, u a plumber?

No,
My Dad is sort of a plumber. He did all the soldering, not the cleanest job and when I said that to him. He just said it won't leak and it never did.

Those are some awesome pics Dave :nod:

What kind of fluid is that? Do you have a UV light on it? It's glowing.

It's UV green Fluid XP+ Extreme. Yeah there's a couple UV cold cathodes in the case! It looks awesome at night.

It looks awesome. I like how it's not real crowded with tubes like many WC setups. Your camera takes good pics too.

It's a Sony A100. For $900 it better

Thanks for the comments

Where do you get all the money at your age?

And I'm over here breaking my back at BJ's (it's a warehouse store kind of like Sam's) and I only make $160 on a good week. :shake:

Drugs dude!

Naw, I saved up a lot of money when I was younger, and this summer. I have everything I want right now though

Oh, my god dude (in a non-religious way). Do you cower up the corner of the shower after work? Because you are getting raped by them. You should look into getting a construction job, I get paid that much per day, take home. Not trying to brag, sorry if it sounds like it.

They pay me close to minimum wage ($7.50, to be exact). I usually figure on taking $7 of that home. For this week I'll probably actually make a good deal of money, like around $250-280. Now that I think of it, that $160 was for a 24-hour week. But I don't really want to work like this week every week, I only did that because we all had to get the store ready for opening. Haha I only started a few weeks ago.

that green fluid looks awesome and its soooo tidy, i want water cooling just cos it looks amazing.

Alright so I was bored today and finally decided to install my sata dvd burner to get rid of the damn ide cable. But once I got started it was I like I couldn't stop lol. I ended up redoing all of my cable routing. Well it was really more like getting rid of my huge wad of wires that was balled up and thrown where ever it would stay. But anyways here are some before and after pics. Just forgive the quality I don't have a 900 dollar camera lol.

These first two are before:


Here is the "wad o'wires"


And these are after:


This one shows my custom mounted fan to cool the pwmic lol:


And this is where the wires are semi neatly tucked away:





Not the best job but pretty damn good for me seeing as how i'm really lazy and impatient when it comes to cable management. What do you guys think:)

Looks good, but I'd route those SATA cables behind the drives before you come over to the board.

Hmm never thought of that before. Thanks for the idea. Maybe tomorrow though i'm already feeling lazy again lol.

Nice sig Osama

what is that irregular board u got there Osama?

I have done much cable management since then. You can see it in the next pic.
This is It with the lights off.

interesting case....lol

Who needs a side panel? Honestly...

Side

Look at all thems wires...

One I got my 2x80 Western Digitals for my RAID, I did a bunch of cable management and now its much better. If I stop being lazy any time soon, Ill get some new pics up.

Reminder for those who went to college and stayed in a dorm... kinda cramped, but its not that bad. No, thats not me or my roommate with the pink socks and girls shoes... my girlfriend is modeling her foot in the corner on the futon, heh.

Over the last few days I have made some adjustments to my computer.

First I added a yellow UV active wire cover over my main power.. next is to re-route it bedind!





Then I dug around and found my last Yellow Sata cable, While I was installing that it was time to turn them around. I was out of zip ties and just picked some up today.



I replaced my video card from the x1900GT(bottom) to the x1950 Pro(top), I am in the Progress of tracking down another one to test crossfire on sli.



I was pleased to see that the red plastic covering the heatsink reacts with my blacklight so I adjusted the cathode closer to the bottom!



More Wire cleaning to come soon!
