my rig is just like yours. I have a HAF-X and a razer blackwidow keyboard.

Made it to the front page of HardOCP again.

Wow, some people hating for small things.



But again, nice rig sir

It's to be expected. It's in the public domain. Water off a ducks back and so forth. I've seen setups just as crazy, or crazier than mine.

[caveman-jim]

It's not even that crazy, I mean look at how Maximum PC spend $7K+ on their dream rig every year and compare it what AdamK47's got for similar money.

There are guys who spend thousands a year on rebuilding transmissions, replacing cams and remapping engines, new manifolds, exhausts, just for dyno bragging rights. Some spends thousands on going on vacation 4 times a year. Others a hobbyist pilots, or build robots for fighting competitions. Is it so different?

[Ristogod]

Agree. Not that crazy.

[Meteor_of_War]

Excessive spending on material items is all relative. What seems like thousands spent on a hobby to some, may only seem like pocket change to others. Different lifestyles.

The debate on whether or not that money would be better spent elsewhere is a different story though. Personally I believe you only live once so enjoy yourself if you are so inclined.

I spent over 12k on my setup and it's going to get a 5k upgrade sometime next year when the 12 core Xeon processors get released....

[OverclockN']

More pictures, less bragging/boasting. Let the pictures do the talking.

[nycdarkness]

Nice pc Adam.

Only thing i could do is take it apart and paint the outside with a custom paint job(hand brush of course).....Can't think of anything else hardware wise....

[CurrentlyPissed]

I had no idea the Creative Sound Blaster Z had a light on it so I took some new pictures. Thankfully it was red

[Mangler]

Seems like that soundcard will not be a hit for those who hates bright lights in their pc.

I'm sure it can be disabled.

Threw together a triple tahiti rig for grins.



asus crosshair v formula with overclocked fx 8350 (4.75GHz CPU / 2.5GHz NB/L2 / 3.3GHz HTt [250MHz bClk]), 4x4GB AMD Enthusiast Memory at DDR3-2000 11-11-11, and three XT cards at 1100MHz / 1500MHz it pulls a KW from the wall to score x8323 in 3dmark11. Got a samsung 830 128GB as OS drive (win 8) and Seagate 7200.12 1TB as games drive. case is a haf 932, psu is corsair tx 850, cooler is amd fx liquid cooler with noctua fans.



My poor Corsair 850W

[mullet]

caveman-jim, nice hardware dude. That is a challenging wire job.

[caveman-jim]

I swap out stuff so often I don't even try to go neat-freak on it. As long as it all reaches and doesn't foul a fan, I'm happy

[BababooeyHTJ]

Does the TX850 have six pci-e plugs?

[Redeemed]

How the hell do you guys so casually drop down the kinda' dough required for some of these rigs???

Ya'll must make in a week, what I bring home in a year. I'm sure of it.

[caveman-jim]

Does the TX850 have six pci-e plugs?

One of my TX 850's does, the other (in my i7 rig) doesn't. I think this one, which has 6 pci-e 6+2 plugs, is a 950 in disguise


Pic of the desk, running Portrait eyefinity 3x1 and an extended display.




1 asus 24" 1920x1080 120hz monitor (DL-DVI) and 3x Dell P2210H 22" 1080x1920 (2 connected via displayport, one HDMI-DVI adapter).

yes i know the monitor spacing is terrible.

I found a way to make my hobby almost pay for itself.

I bet you say that to all the girls

[Trivium Nate]

[Sazar]

Damn.

2 things.

1. Dust.

2. Unbelieveably bad posture

You're an incredibly lucky man.

[hotwired]

do you ever really finish? i think im cloose

[BababooeyHTJ]

That case makes your motherboard look tiny.

Those corsair power supplies really are impressive. Does it run warm when pulling that kind of juice?

I also love the eyefinity in portrait that looks cool.

Yes, it's mildly warm to the touch but definitely not hot.

It really is, love the extra vertical res - 1920 pixels down is plus in 3x1 portrait you have 27:16 aspect ratio which is very close to 16:9 - or at least closer than 5760x1080 is

Does the card with the custom cooler get noticeable louder in that configuration?

Looks great for desktop, but I couldn't game like that.

Thats why I want a 21:9 display with a 1440 vertical res.

Now you're talking @ 120hz, no, 144hz

[BababooeyHTJ]

Now you're talking @ 120hz, no, 144hz

I would sell a kidney for that.

[caveman-jim]

Does the card with the custom cooler get noticeable louder in that configuration?

no, it's inaudible compared to the reference cards and chassis cooling. VRM's on the custom card are 25C cooler than the reference card designs, GPU core is 15C cooler. review in progress

getting ready to do submersed pc

[**G.I.BRO**]

Wow... you guys are crazy when it comes to these rigs, totally awesome tho! Well done!

[aRandomRobot]

I finally got around to making the stock Intel cooler go bye-bye

The 2500K can finally stretch its legs



(5.1GHz was ~1hr stable on 1.40V but I want to be able to Fold with this thing again eventually so I've been slowly bumping up the core to get it a little more stable)

[CurrentlyPissed]

Nice. the H100i is a very clean, and nice looking unit. But I'm really looking forward to the Swiftech H220

http://www.legitreviews.com/news/14832/

Nice OC on the 2500k as well I had mine at 5.0Ghz, but I finally backed it down to 4.5. Didn't see much of a difference to warrant the "balls the walls" 24/7 so now I just run it at 4.5 @ 1.363v
