Just thought I'd lob in a couple of quick pics of my setup at home. (The uni setup is similar, but with a longer desk, more books and one less computer and screen.

I normally only have the pico itx and big rig running, but sometimes its nice to be able to browse the internet and play itunes on one pc, while playing something on the other.

LOL at that desk set up...... its like an evil villains lair

Shhh...don't tell anyone. Seriously though, Atkins physical, that is the an evil book

Thought I'd do a quick update today. A few weeks back, the a CD in the drive exploded (literally) so I've replaced that DVD drive with a new LG lightscribe writer, only to find, once the old one was cleaned, it still worked.



Also, the northbridge was running super hot, and my earlier attempts to cool that failed, so I've set up a second loop with a 120mm rad on the roof. I can now hit 4.0GHz, with 42C on the northbridge, so I'm happy:

I loaded all those images for that smaller sentance ;(

Never read this thread when ya posted. Thats some rig there xD

Since the last update, I've bought another spinpoint for a raid 5 set up, a really cheap "raid" card (basically just a pcie x1 sata board with two slots), some drive rails and have got 5 drives running in the pc. To cool the extra disk, I've modified a dominator cooling fan I had kicking about which just fits in the 5.25 bay slot.

My next project is to get rid of the 120GB disk and buy two new 2.5" drives, an adaptor to stick the two into one 3.5" bay and run one as my server drive and the other as a convenient file transfer drive for windows 7 upgrades.
