I like PC and booze

Hello everyone,

Been a bit of a lurker for a while following TTL and OC3D crew for quite a while but never really had the time to post on here. Managed to loose my job so ive stopped being a lurker and thought i would make myself know.

Was going to train back doing Cisco CCNA after being in a different field for the last nine years but will probably just do a Windows configuration course to whore myself out as an IT support guy then move onto Cisco later.

My current rig built in early 2011 is:-

I7 950 1366 @ standard 3.0 ghz
Asus P6x58D-E mobo (1st gen SATA3 which doesn't work very well)
Corsair 650D case
18GB Kingston 1600 HyperX (i do a fair bit of Emulation on Virtual Box)
128GB Corsair Force 3 SSD
1TB generic drive
XSPC RASA 750 RS240 Water Cooling Kit (looped into CPU only)
Sapphire 6970 with Accelero Xtreme Plus II fan
1200W Silent Pro Gold power supply (Bit overkill but my 100W blew up under mysterious circumstances)

Bit rough and ready but get me through the cold winter nights

650D has great cable management. You could def hide the majority of those cables which would also improve your airflow (yes i know cpu is Watercooled but would help your GPU). Also if you move the SSD down to the lower HDD tray you can remove the top HDD tray for a bit more room. Other than that seems like a nice PC!

Did you drink before cable managing ?

You could sort that out a bit better !!!

Peace.

It was tidy when it first started its life then became the horrible mess you see today after my last power supply blew up. Now im not working every day under the sun ill tidy it up
Ill certainly do the SSD/HDD move though and pull the bay out

If you feel like you can squeeze the cables behind it you can also unscrew the bottom HDD cage and slide it along (see my rig pics) Might be hard to do without a modular supply though

well i had a spare ten minutes. not perfect but a little better than before. :lol:

could do with some cable extenders really as the CPU supply is too short hence i can only pull it over to one side h34r:

welcome to the forums,
yeah, i see a great bitfenix purchase in your future..
i'd have thunk, the PSU would have had longer cables to at least be able to pass
the 24-pin to the back and then out... especially the 600T. but that is the
tribulations of fan up for the PSU(s)
