Vista - Show us your rig

Nice rigs you guys have got there.

I'm going to be working on my latest build sometime this week..I'll take some pics and post it then

gunther, I like the way you put your cables behind your MTB, never seen THAT before

Nice work!

Aww man, I forgot to say, that is my dream case you have there gunther, I've been trying to persuade my parents into letting me buy it, but they won't give in. Another advantage of being an adult...

Nice, jealous I am!!

ok was asking Brink how to get all three Monitors to work together not sure have 2 running now need to get the 3rd monitor and Only One keyboard and mouse to ru all of them .

thats cool Brink.. ya I bet it's pretty loud.. you can get filters at PC stores.. none that Size I'm sure.. this sounds nasty.. but I've heard it works GREAT for PC fan filters.. even more so for someone like you with HUGE fans.. go to the store.. go to the LADIES section.. and get those Nylon Leg things...

Get the Biggest size. or a big size that will go over your fan.. and cut off any extra length... get that.. and pull if over the inside of your fan.. and Rubberband it on.. now you'll have to find big rubberbands.. or attach it some other way.. and use that.. you can get them to be really flat and looks straight.. it actually works WONDERS I've heard.. just might be a lil weird.

haha and ya, getting a new cooler is very much a good idea..

Question brink.. what CPU do you have..

I've got a Barely used Cooler, much much better than the stock intel cooler that I would sell cuz i got a new one for free..

It's the Thermaltake Blue Orb 2. works really well. has blue LED's to match your case.. and I'd be willing to sell it to you for $25.. you pay shippin. I'm in las vegas.. just a thought. works FINE!


Nice Rig there acdc.... You need to do some serious Cable Managing tho.. it helps airflow MORE than you think.. makes a difference.

and as for family guy dude.. amplid.. I actually didn't run the Wires BEHIND the mobo.. that wouldn't be very safe in the long run..

that case I have has spots for cables to run.. and if you look at that first picture with the mobo in.. with no wires.. it shows right through the case on that right side of mobo tray.. the tray ends there.. doesn't go al the way through like most cases.. so with the other side panel off.. I can just run wires behind the Mobo tray.. not the mobo, but behind the tray.. and around the corner where I need them.. like that Power cable for mobo.. make sense..

Yes... it's not the best case.. but price to performance.. it's by far.. the best case you can get.. no other case in it's price range.. has the cable management it has.. the fan possibilities..can mount up to 7 120mm fans without modding anything. and the Tooless design is great..

Get that case.. what, parents won't let you.. how old are you. It's only $80 bucks.. one of the cheapest GOOD quality cases around.. just show them my pics.. then show them inside ur case with all the wires running around.. and say.. i NEED this case.. they will let ya.

Go for it.. he he

ask if you have other questions... good luck wth parents!

LOL xguntherc,

That's not a bad idea though for the filters. I might get a few weird looks getting them though. LOL

Moving from XP x64 SP2 to Vista x64 Ultimate SP1 this weekend. Better pictures to follow.

My new rig ^^...just built it yesterday with the help of a very awesome friend. Will post specs on it later.






















Needless to say due to all of the pictures...I'm rather excited about this build. Yes, the cables are messy, but I'll get to cleaning them up a bit more later..for now I just wanted to make sure everything was working.


And a comparison from my old PC and it xD

Ya I kno it's a weird idea... you wont get wierd looks.. you could be getting them for your mother or something..

and they actually work really really well I've heard..

and Nice system there Xen, thats the case Brink has we are talking about.. i bet that baby is loud.. and no filters on the Fans, that why I didn't buy it.. but either way i bet the airflow is pretty damn good..

Good for you, you said just built..

Whats the Specs??
