Lol. I should probably not share any pics of my car. At least I don't spend an hour a day inside my PC cabinet.

BTW, never gonna put the cover on. The case is just there to hold the components, the cabinet in the desk provides the enclosure.

LoL ^

Since a couple non-R3D-user rigs have been posted, I thought I'd share this little gem built by alexciobanu over at OCAU forums, containing a 290x & 3570k.

FO4 theme aside, that's the style of build I'd like to emulate with Skylake and 980Ti/FuryX.

**nycdarkness** · Sep 10, 2015, 05:34 AM

I'd get a parvum case and prepare to do some bending if I were you.

Most of these builds take near nothing to maintain and for simple functional daily builds even less. I take a can of air to my pc like once a month and it looks fine.

**Progression** · Sep 10, 2015, 03:10 PM

Damn he ruined that FO4 build with the actual hardware.

Is that a mini ITX build? Great layout, but FO4 theme really needs more wires, dust bunnies and maybe also a molerat.

LoL you're right!

Silent-Runners rig does indeed look more post apocalyptic

**Ford Freak** · Sep 11, 2015, 06:04 AM

I'd post pictures of the computers from work if I could. Those things are nasty inside.

**aviphysics** · Dec 17, 2015, 10:54 AM

What happened? Did a few pics of nasty computers kill this thread?

**logical** · Dec 17, 2015, 12:46 PM

Christmas is coming. People will be posting soon enough.

**lmchv** · Dec 23, 2015, 04:53 AM

This is my biggest upgrade since 2009:

new specs on the sig.

**fasedw** · Dec 23, 2015, 05:20 AM

looks killer and will preform killer, does that case have filters for the fans?

**lmchv** · Dec 23, 2015, 07:30 AM

Yes, it has removable filters for all the fans

Currently I have 2 200mm intake fans for the H110, 1 240mm for the upper HDD trays + 1 200mm "circulating" fan (don't have any disks on this trays so it's clean cool air to the inside of the case, 2 200mm fans for the lower HDD trays (I have 4 disks here) and 1 200mm exhaust fan at the back of the case. I'm planning on installing 2 extra 200mm fans to the side of the case in order to provide more exhaust capacity.

The system is extremely cool, the cores idle at 26°C in average and have reached highest of 50°C under full load.

Looked good until I saw what the gpus were

Overclocking the 5930k?

**logical** · Dec 23, 2015, 02:08 PM

The same old computer and the newer audio stuff (schiit magni+modi and Senns HD650)

Well, they still perform better than any single card solution available. I plan to keep them until next year, bought them in april last year; maybe I will get a 3rd one just for the sake of it

I want to overclock it, but not yet 24/7, summer is starting.

As long as the game has multi GPU support...

**lmchv** · Dec 24, 2015, 10:03 AM

That's true, but can't afford a FuryX now, they cost around $800 here...

**demo** · Dec 28, 2015, 01:52 AM

Nice rig buddy

**MangaSpawn64** · Dec 28, 2015, 08:27 AM

Had to add an usb port bracket...

Ignore the dust... and the Frozen place mat

That computer is lovely.

Does the extra wide form factor of the Corsair Air 240 feel like it has a lot of unused space?

Nope the case width is mitigated by its small form factor. Most 240s that don't have cabling done properly look cramped.

After having my first SFF PC I may never go back to a full size or mid size pc.

**OverclockN'** · Jan 6, 2016, 05:22 PM

Updated photo. Just installed the 980Ti.

**logical** · Jan 6, 2016, 07:45 PM

Are there fans on top of the case for the radiator of the H100?

Yes, I'm using 2 top mount fans on the Corsair Graphite 600T. I've wondered about adding two on the bottom to use for push. Would it make enough drop in temps to bother with it?

Probably not worth the hassle IMO.

Pretty clean cabling in the case though all around.

**Hapatingjaky** · Jan 7, 2016, 04:19 AM

Push Pull usually results in a 5C temp drop over your current setup. If that means anything to you.

**AdamK47** · Feb 8, 2016, 07:45 PM

Shrouded in mystery.

Dat Phillips monitor

**aviphysics** · Feb 10, 2016, 07:27 PM

My new triple monitor setup

for my new weekday home away from home rig. (currently living near work on the weekdays and with the family on the weekend.) Don't have a lot of space, so I left my amp and bookshelf speakers and my other two 24" monitors at my proper home.

Should also be being a new rig soon to keep at my proper home.

Sorry for the potato camera.

I don't yet have a total impression of the Monoprice 5" Studio Monitors, as I am just renting a room and don't want to blast them with everyone else in the house. They seem at least alright, but people that really want deep base would want a subwoofer. In my case, less floor vibrating base is probably a good thing.

**CurrentlyPissed** · Feb 13, 2016, 09:47 PM

Old ladys/Plex server needed some updates. I must say, after my NZXT H440 case, and now this 340. It's going to be a hard time NOT to convince me to not buy a NZXT case next round. They are just so much better quality, and thought into the design. And this is a guy who came from a Corsair 600t, 800D, and Carbide Air 540.

Installed EVGA SuperNova 650 GQ (super flower gold 80 actually runs at 89% effeciency)
NZXT Black/Blue 340 case
Antec Kuhler 620 to replace the H100 that had the "clicking pump" noise.
Some Corsair SP120 Blue LED Fans
Seagate 3TB Baraccuda
XFX 280X Double Dissapation

What it already had
i5-2500k @ 4.4 1.29v
MSI P67-GD65
8GB G.Skill Sniper CL9 1866 (2x4)
Samsung 840 Pro 256 SSD
Seagate 2TB Baraccuda

**Apocalypsee** · Feb 14, 2016, 04:57 AM

The internals are messy but at least the outside looks great

**the_sextein** · Feb 18, 2016, 10:24 PM

Just finished building this one. Things are so much more easy than they used to be. I just loaded a usb with windows 10 and it launched and installed it on my M.2 drive. All I needed to do was manually install the latest Nvidia drivers and I added some extra support from the included motherboard CD. Didn't take very long at all. Building the rig took a while because I tried to make the wiring decent. With double dust filters and the front door closed this mid tower is doing better than my last full Lian li build in terms of noise and cooling. Edit: Stupid me didn't use the camera on my phone properly so it's upside down. Sorry about that.

**Meteor_of_War** · Feb 19, 2016, 06:40 AM

Got to wonder if your CPU is bottlenecking those GPUs.
