Andre's Z77 Personal Rig

[andrevautour]

Thanks for the flix, Andre. I just got my GD65. Can't wait to do a fresh install!!!

Good stuff -- looks wise I actually prefer the aesthetics of the DG65 over the Mpower. I like the yellow, but I don't love it. I also am very fussy about how words and fonts look and I dislike the word "MPower" and the front they use in the logo for it Performance wise I have no complaints, it is great. I have to admit that I do like the look of all the Mpower stuff when it's combined.







1 hour 7950 video coming soon

Here are a few new pictures from this evening. I think I am going to do something new with the cables around the back soon, and I will have a video update of that when it's finished.

Thank you! Hopefully I will have some new things to play with fairly soon!

I'm also looking forward to seeing a build from you!

It should be coming by the end of the Summer, due to some unexpected problems at home, it has had to be delayed.

Your Build is a Massive inspiration to me though!

I did a massive refresh of my build this past weekend. I recorded a rig update / cable management video when I was doing it.

Here are a couple stills

@The Orange One Thank you!

 

[Feronix]

Still looks amazing, Andre

That's one rig to be jealous of

It keeps looking neater and neater. About the only way to get neater is going wireless.

Remove upper HDD-cage for better airflow?
Exellent work as always Andre.

Thank you!
I've tried it both ways but I just don't like the look of the gap with it out. it doesn't make very much difference temp wise.

 

[Lystfiskern]

See your point on "the gaping void"
If temps are good always go for best aestethics.

Hi Andre ,
Nice video , I really like how you've done your cable management , it looks very clean . Great job.
Now I have to tear my system down and do the same thing , you gave me alot of pointers on how to do it better next time.

Yeah I just don't like the gap, I prefer the look of a continuous line all the way from floor to ceiling.

Just a quick question regarding your 650D filter. Do you just wash it with warm water? No matter how much I wash it I can't get it completely clean. Maybe I need to wash it for a longer period of time?

I've rinsed it with water a few times and it seemed fine (not sure how warm it was) but usually I just just it a quick vacuum with the brush attachment and that seems to do a good job with it.

Amazing cable management there Andre

 

[G-Dubs]

Nice build but a one thing bugging me

Great cooler, no denying that, but those fans in "artificial limb" beige just look so wrong. whip em apart and mod em.

On a more positive note, the loom at the rear is a master piece. Cookies to you sir

While on the subject of modding, that carpet...well it...it's....Well it's awful..

Mod on my friend
