More of my PC

[xcalibur]

I finally got round to buying a new CPU fan and speakers. All I have left is a soundcard and a decent desk.
I also made an attempt at sorting out the wiring in my PC. Its been mildly successful but I think I can do better.
Also I took random pics when I visited my nan on monday. Boring as hell...

I took out the ram because I couldn't fit the cooler in properly. Then I realised the fan was detachable and I almost cried.

Out of curiosity, how do you like your RC-690 case? I heard it's a bit plastic-ey, and I'm not sure whether to buy this or the RC-590. (The RC-590 only comes with 1 fan, if I remember correctly)

 

[p1ngpong]

Seriously man, you badly need a new desk. Also I think I have the same speakers as you, they are pretty badass!

That desk is too painfully small for such a good computer.

I'm loving it so far. But the akward positioning of the power buttons on my case sometimes means that I accidentally turn it off when I move the chair closer to it, seeing as I bump into it. Also, the PSU is put at the bottom so its a bit of a stretch making it reach the necessary ports because of the annoying placement. Other than that, its fucking awesome. Casefans make no sound whatsoever, USB ports are conveniently placed on top, and it looks really classy.

Is that an amish-made desk?

Bitch that keyboard is begging to be upgraded

 

[wchill]

Speakers still look like shit. Even if they are new.

That subwoofer is dangerously close to your HDD's

I wouldnt worry too much unless it was the z2300/z5500 sub

the x230 doesnt have that powerful of a magnet in it

 

[Hopawarty]

How many hard-drives you got in that mother

 

[Joe88]

How many hard-drives you got in that mother

Nice.
I'm gonna be building a computer soon.

Seriously, though. That desk is really small.

After my soundcard and desk ;D
I'm thinking stupidly overpriced keyboard with lots of useless functions which I'll regret buying two days afterwards.

I know. I should be buying one as soon as my EMA comes in.

Fuck yes! We should get more people to buy this and expand our little club. Shakraka and Antoligy totally need to buy it and we'll have a grand total 5 members :3

Love the cm-690 case. The only thing I think is missing is a heatsink mount on the actual case itself to keep the stress off the motherboard. Also, I've seen some super clean wire management for this case, but I can't seem to pull it off.

Apparently you have to run the cables behind the plate that holds the motherboard. I'm too lazy to do that though...

What temps are you getting with that cooler? I have the same cooler but its for AMD. I'm getting about 58 C on full load (Prime95) and 31 C idle.

Man, I should have got the RC-690

. But its $15 more then what my full sized case with two 250mm fans cost.
