Pics of my Rigs (12 Year update on page 6)

Sounds like a good deal.

 

I have 4 120mm fans blowing into the case now, and including the psu I have 2 120mm fans exhausting. Load temperatures when running 2 instances of prime95 are;

CPU 50C

PWMIC 52C

Chipset 47C

Reelfiles, do you still you use the fan in front of the hard drives?

Do you mean the 80mm fan that came with the case? No, that has been removed. Take a look at that picture I photoshopped, I tried to show the way I envision the air is flowing inside the case.

[225Slant6]

No not the orignal fan, but one blowing across the the hard drives, unless the one in the picture is exuasting air over them through the front of the case.

[ReelFiles]

Exactly, it's exhausting across them.

 

Here's some more pics;

I see now, thanks for the pics.

Yeah, no problem, I was gonna post them anyways. This case has to be the best bang for the buck around. I think it's less than $60 at Newegg. I am done adding fans, I think I have reached the point of diminishing returns, as my temps only dropped 1-2C after adding the last 120mm fan. Next step is watercooling and then some Video cards.

I am using a 4mb PCI video card atm, as I put my 256mb 6600 in my wife's new 939 board for testing. I keep having to switch between 1024 x 768 x 16bit color for browsing the web and 800 x 600 x24bit color for encoding and watching videos.

 

I just noticed my 6600 doesn't have a standard 4 pin S-video output. it has 9 pins. I don't remember this card coming with a dongle or adapter. It's a Rosewill 6600 256mb SLI card. I tried using a DVI to VGA adapter and a VGA to S-video adapter, I couldn't get my TV to work with it. I used to use a BFG MX4000 AGP card on her old motherboard and the TV always worked. Any ideas? I got pics of the S-video ports for both cards, but I can't get to them atm.

I got some carbon fiber film on it's way to me, should I do the Tsunami or the Centurion?

I definately could use to cover up all the scratches on the Tsunami, I butchered that case. I would also like to keep pimping out this Centurion, though. I don't know what to do....HELP!

[ReelFiles]

WOW.. I thought I lost all the pics of my old setups, this is dope I can't believe it's been 12 years

How did you even find this thread lol

[ReelFiles]

Bill Owen from MNPCtech recently asked his youtube viewers to share some old pics of their rigs but since I knew I had lost mine years ago, I figured I'd google my old username plus the terms "case mod".

This thread was ported over here when OCC bought the DFI-Street forum database after they shut down, I am glad it's here. Now if I could only get into that photobucket account, that would be really cool.

Time for a 12 year Update I guess

 

  

First we got the Bernie machine in a Raijintek Metis case for streaming, my main rig is in the Enthoo Evolv ITX case. Then there is the old school gaming stuff and a retropie setup.

 

 

Then there's my wife's stuff: midi keyboard and 2007 mac mini, plus her work rig with triple monitors, but that thing is filthy so no close ups of that

 

 

Lastly in an old stairwell converted to a closet we got a Fractal Design Node 304 for my torrent box and another Fractal Design case for my Plex server, I forget which one it is (they all look alike to me) 

 

Main rig is a 4.8GHz 8600K, 16GB 3200MHz RAM, 256GB NVME/1TB HDD, GTX 1060 3GB

Torrentbox is an i5 4590 (stock), 16GB, 2x 1.5TB HDD 

Server is an i7 3770K, 4GHz, 16GB, 5x 4TB HDD

Bernie rig is some AMD Kaveri APU setup with a 750Ti

Wifey's is an i7 4790, 16GB, 500GB SSD/500GB HDD, GTX 1060 6GB
