My first rig as a noob :)

[Chris_taylor]

This is the only picture of my rig,

But as it stands its an

Intel i5 3570k cooled by an antec h2o 620 on an asrock z77 extreme4 motherboard
8gb of corsair vengeance ram 1600mhz
Evga gtx690 which I've now passed on to get a gtx 780 possibly sli for the new GPU chip
Xfx 750w pro psu
Vertex 4 60gb Os harddrive and 2 seagate 1tb 7200rpm storage drives

All concealed by a black Fractal design R4 all the fans fitted are the r4 silent fans inclcuding the antec cooler

Nice and tidy rig you have there

 

[TheRamJam]

not to shabby

but mate, that thing needs a hoovering

 

[Chris_taylor]

Hahaha, it's only the bottom of the case that is dusty. Everything else it's clean it gets a spray clean weekly the fans n components do

Thank you, I was thinking tidy means better airflow but looks nice

 

[vorticalbox]

I like having the psu the other way so you can see the fan

Very tidy rig though

I wish I had time to clean mine every week.

 

[Chris_taylor]

Cheers I clean it when the kids are having there afternoon nap

 

[Mgutierrez33]

LOL yeah deffo gotta clear up that dust. Otherwise a solid system that's been pretty well organized, good job!

Nice rig. Relatively tidy as well.

Only thing is, it needs a bit of a dusting, and some cable sleeving.

 

[NeverBackDown]

Nice rig! Should try getting a higher end psu. 750watt is just enough for 780 sli with some overclocking. PSU will be near maxed out quite often.

 

[loglog]

very well done with cable management, but as others have said time to dust it out lol

 

[Chris_taylor]

What do we recommend to clean the actual case? Dampened micro fibre cloth?

 

[Mathius]

The actual case, can be cleaned with a 'damp rung out' sponge or cloth, obviously for safety reasons it might be best to disconnect the power.

 

[Chris_taylor]

Haha obviously cool, I'll do that tonight I think

 

[NeverBackDown]

^^ double posting is against the rules. Use the edit button mate

IMO corsair fans have been overused since their relase. Try something like a silverstone AP121/123.

The R4 case has a built-in air filter where the PSU goes if you install it like Chris taylor has! Besides, hot air travels up, where the exhaust fans can and should be. It's even better if you install a high end PSU; you won't even have to worry about or hear that fan!

Here's an update, case clean and an Evga gtx 780 classified I have a corsair ax850 enroute also

 

[s3ns3]

nice build man. other than the looks of the gpu card, it looks very cool. noob he says...lol

 

[Chris_taylor]

I am really, it's my first build of my own my friend done my last

 

[NeverBackDown]

It seems like everyone keeps the bottom drive cage in place for ssd or even hdd.. I guess im the only one with no drive cages and just 2 ssds lying on the bottom

 

[Chris_taylor]

SSD is placed behind the motherboard currently have the 780 at 1201mhz stable sat at 85*c n it. Till has some tdp headroom
