Show us your rig

[thepizzaman]

yes i was haha and i would have just built it myself... but you still got the good stuff

 

[MADMAX034]

Well Pizzaman I wish I had the talent, patience and expertise to build something like that myself...but fortunately I know my limitations and was lucky enough to have the money and hooked up with some pros who helped out with a lot of ideas and suggestions.
Appreciate the good words.

i agree it is quite easy to build a system

like ive done it is just about asking questions and reading up on what parts work with each other

Hi MADMAX, you have a factory there. NICE!!!!!

 

[MADMAX034]

Thanks everybody...appreciate the accolades. I just got the rig this past Monday Kev, so I've been more preoccupied with having a blast playing my games and discovering them all over again. The games I play aren't really demanding but I will post the numbers from the testing that DS did before shipping the rig to me....

 

[thepizzaman]

very nice

DIGITAL STORM CUSTOM BUILD

very nice indeed. digital storm built, but that is a haf932 chassis--question for you: did digital storm install dust filters for you under the psu and behind the front fan? just curious. (i have to blow my case out about once a week. been too lazy to buy some, much less make some )

 

[MADMAX034]

That's a good question MP...I dust mine out every couple of weeks anyway...I'm not really sure from what I can see while it's in the cradle...but I will definitely check next week when I dust it out...thanks for bringing that to my attention...appreciate it.

Older pic, back when it dual booted visa and xp.

Meh, old pictures that were posted on another forum, but still. You can see my computer specs when you click the "My system Specs", regular users already know though :P. Laptop is an Asus F7Se, with RAM upgraded to 4GB. Very good laptop by the way. Will start by posting desktop. I hate such small HP cases though, I'm already looking forward to the one I'm going to build somewhere near the end of next year when I have enough money. Probably going to get something like the HAF 932 or something like that as a case.

Anyway, enough with the talk, here are the pics.

Oh and the graphics card, it owned when I got it, still plays all the games I want, but not in the best cards anymore :P.

Couldn't find a picture that actually showed my computer with it, will post it shortly. Or you can see what it looks like from that link: http://img.tomshardware.com/us/2006/09/11/hp_m7580n/m7580n.jpg

Laptop:
(picture is more than a year old, those kind of backgrounds are long-gone).

OK!!...i've finally finished mine..it took me longer than i expected due to the fact that i swapped around so many finer parts to get things perfect and cared about every last friggin wire, that i went a couple of months over schedule, but the end result is very satisfying back on page 157 of this thread i posted my previous system...but this one is upgraded in many ways, from the cpus, down to the plentiful amounts of copper cooling parts i've added. also , i modified the motherboard with much improved chipset heatsinks which keep my temps nice and cool..my video cards and memory are also copper cooled. i also had the tower modded according to my specifications, but one major reason for this taking so long is that they did it incorrectly the first time, and i wasn't about to settle for anything less than what i wanted, considering all the money i was spending to have it done the right way. i'm very pleased with the end results. my triple desktop allows me to watch full screen movies on my 46" TV across the room, yet still have two full desktops to do whatever else i need..the coolest thing is, after the board performs all the primary BIOS tests, it then turns on the sets of SAS and SATA drives in consecutive order and the sound of the spin ups almost gives you the shivers..lol

after 30 minutes of intense stress testing, the temps were pretty good as they wouldn't go above 33 C. including the cpu fans, i've got a total of 14 fans running inside, and quietly too i might add.

it's a dream system to work on. - i can easily sit in front of the side window and stare inside for what seems like an hour...it's another world in there...and when i look into the two front LED's so bright, it's like staring into the sun
i can only hope that when i die, they lay it into my grave with me..haha
