That was a picture when I hadn't the Logitech Z623 .​

Actually this is a cloth below the smoked window to protect it .​

I have took the back fan from zalman and I have put it behind the front to take fresh air

.​

This is the Cooler Master BC 120 Blue Led Fan 1200 RMP​

i really like the look of the zalman what is it like to build in and whats the overall quality like im torn between this and the shinobi

 

[J-Lyons]

Dislike for the MW3, but looks like a nice rig.

 

[GTX670]

Thanks guys, I've made a video

 

[Lauralarry]

but your nzxt case is probably really cheaply build, dunno about the zalman

Pictures Updated !

 

[Liarma]

Yeah im not digging the MW3 peripherals, that just screams "noob". But the rig looks pretty decent.

 

[yassarikhan786]

Good setup.

 

[TheOneHalf]

Looks very nice ^^

 

[jamesriley94]

Does look good yeh. MW3...no.
I do have MW3 turtle beaches however - although that's only because they were cheaper than the non-MW3 edition ones.

The case looks good though, any chance of tightening up the cables out of the psu though?

 

[GTX670]

Thanks guys !
for the cables, I just will need to sleeve it or buy a corsair kit

I wasn't sure what to think of this case when I first saw it I kind of liked it but at the same time I didn't, seeing it in your build I think I've decided I'm liking it right now.

Really liking the desk as well nice and simple, but WHY is your subwoofer on your desk lol doesn't that vibrate it like crazy. My two speakers have 4 1/2in drivers and they make my desk shake to the point I don't turn up anything while using them (I need to get some speaker foam) maybe it's just because my desk is plastic

Just wondering, is it possible to move the PCI-E power connectors to a lower pass through slot they seem out of place going up and around the top of the card.


EDIT: You won't be able to use the Corsair sleeved cables on that PSU the cables are only for the Corsair "AX" series of PSUs.

Hello, thank you for your comment I appreciated it.
Yes it is possible to move the cables down but I will not be able to see the msi chipset cooler , it was down before, and the psu fan up, I changed all that. anyway great case, it's my first one good cooling potential, good design and lot of space in it
and for cable sleeving I think I won't care for a moment
remember if I put down the cables of the pci-e the cables will be dropper on the sata fragile cables ports
ah and yes my table is not a real wood it tremors not a lot but there is some vibrations from the subwoofer

 

[Tindo]

Looks nice to me

 

[GTX670]

Thank you guys !

Next in one year I will put a second gtx 670 oc from msi

I bought those speakers a few days ago, so far really, really impressed with the sound quality, a bit lacking in the mids but nothing a decent eq won't fix. and that bass.... omg

you bought the Logitech z623 ?

One more thing - the RAM you're using is 1.65v RAM. Anything above 1.5v isnt great for Ivybridge and could cause problems
