How can you play FPS's Dcully?

Wouldn't your hands be streched around the steering wheel / joy stick?

Great gaming setup!!!

60 second job disconnecting the wheel and shifter mate

infact i more often than not dont have the shifter attached to the desk, only the odd mod i use but normally just the wheel.
My fupping headset broke over the weekend after over 3 years of service

Gonna buy one of them G35 logitech headsets, the bro got one on his new rig and fcuk me i was shocked with the sound, simply amazing.

great setup, and im sure its very quiet, which is nice, but its painful having to watch a vid to see the specs imo, especially seeing as how the vid is really just listing the specs.

pics + specs ftw.

I noticed the change in vid, but why didn't you just go back and edit the YouTube link?

:P

crimsonfire · 25-10-2010 4:40pm

Not putting up a pic cos the case is nothing to write home about.

Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit

MSI G31TM-P21 Mobo

550W PSU

Pentium Dual Core E5300 @ 2.6ghz

2 x 2GB DDR2 RAM (400mhz)

Sapphire Radeon 1GB HD 5750

Western Digital 500GB Hard drive

Buffalo 500GB External USB HD

Acer 19" TFT LCD

22" LCD TV (connected via HDMI. also used for the PS3)

A humble system in some respects but a workhorse nonetheless. Plays Fallout New Vegas on Ultra High settings which is nice

Flaccus · 25-10-2010 9:16pm

Am currently building a fully watercooled mountain mods rig which is taking more time then I planned thanks to watercooling issues and the evga sr2 board not behaving. Since I couldn't be without a PC for very long without cracking up I put together this nice midrange job. Had to add the additional fan to help keep those GTX's cool as the 600T isn't the best for hot gpu cooling.

Just built this weekend

Added 2nd SSD

Front shots

Specs are :
Corsair 600T
Corsair AX1200 PSU
i7 950 currently at stock
12gb G.Skill Pi 1600mhz CAS6
2 x EVGA SC+ GTX 480 + Backplate + High Airflow Bracket
X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro
2 x Crucial C300 256GB SSD
2 x Samsung F4 2TB
Sony OptiArc AD-7260S 24x DVDRW

IrishGrimReaper · 25-10-2010 9:26pm

Looks great, I haven't seen that case yet... Cable management and space looks great! Might look into getting one, any advice on it?

Flaccus · 25-10-2010 9:36pm

It cools decently, better then the obsidian series but not as good as a silverstone ft02/rv02 or haf-x. It's mainly made from plastic and steel. Very good build quality but paint along edges of doors and case is easy to chip. Same with 800D. You get 2 hd bays that are both removable and can store 3 drives a piece. You can also install a HD bay into the space on front of the PSU. Couldn't do it with my setup as the power connectors for the motherboard and the psu cables got in the way slightly. If running GTX 480's you definitely need to remove the top HD bay. I also had to add an Akasa Viper fan. Luckily it screwed in on the bottom no problem and just had to use some zip ties for the top of the fan. There is a built in basic fan controller. I have the 2 stock 200mm fans hooked into that. The fans are quietish. WIll post another pic shortly.

Beautiful job tidying up that 600T!

Good god "mid range". That single sentence made my PC look like a pocket calculator ha.

Nice and tidy build i must say, you have me considering the 600T now.

What troubles are you having with the SR2?

Flaccus · 26-10-2010 9:12pm

Updated pics above.

Problems with SR2 are cold boot issues, 2nd boot issues if using virtualisation, and the annoying fact it officially only supports lower speed DDR3. The bios isn't co-operating with me either :-(

Ryan451 · 27-10-2010 12:03am

Wow, looking at some of these builds makes me think twice about actually trying to build a PC myself. Looks very daunting.

Solitaire · 27-10-2010 12:16am

Don't let Flaccus get to you, he's a lunacy booth pro

:cool::p

Monotype · 27-10-2010 12:23am

Nonsense! On your first go, you'll be aiming more for functionality. It's very straightforward and it will still look better than a lot of prebuilts. When you're comfortable around your hardware and on later builds (and when you have more money), you can worry about beautifying your builds. A bit of cable management from the beginning is no harm and you can always grab a few LED fans for the extra colour.

Serves you right for trying to get up to enthusiast malarkey with server-grade equipment. "Extreme OC dual-CPU mobo!!1!" is an oxymoron :pac:

Actually chaps my custom watercooling build in progress is running at nearly 25,000 euro by the time I factor in the screens, desk, sounddampening in the room, and air filtering (I hate dust on my gear) :eek:

Think I did put them up here before but here again is The Walk Of Shame

:pac:

E5200 @ 3.33GHz (doesn't like 3.8GHz in summer!

)
4GB OCZ Platinum PC2-6400 @ 1066MHz 5-5-5-15 (don't see latency like that nowadays! :pac: )
Sapphire HD4830 @ 650/1900MHz (was 680/1940 but dialed down)
MSI Neo2 P35 mobo
Samsung F1 320GB (primary)

:o

Next build will be

4GB of whatever PC3-10666 is cheapest and isn't OCZ :pac:
Either GA-H55N-USB3 or H55-ITX-WiFi-N (mITX mobos!)
Cheapie HD6850 with a mild OC
Samsung F3 1TB (familiar?

)
Possible boot SSD (eventually...)

steve_ · 01-11-2010 6:45pm

For some reason (dont know why!!) these were end of line, so i picked it up for 30euro. I actually work in IKEA and the closest desk to the one i have both in size and durability is the fredrik ones

http://www.ikea.com/ie/en/catalog/products/40111124

Also i got a little lack side table to put my PC on as you can see in the pic, only 7 euro

AHHH see what you made me do!! damn free advertising!!
