My junior/budget Shinobi

[NickOmega]

I was in the middle of my monthly clean and adjusting some cables that have been bugging me when it occurred to me that I hadn't posted anything since building it last year.

So, better late than never.

Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3
AMD FX-6300
CoolerMaster TX3
MSI 7790 OC
Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB
Samsung 840 Pro 128GB
Corsair AX760
3x Aerocool Blue Shark

The molex mess in the bottom left was purely to run the front fans at 7v, was meaning to buy some reducers but never got round to it.

and finally back in it's rightful place ready for some BF3

nice and neat rig man. just one question, how come you have your 6 pin coming straight down like that?

 

[NickOmega]

Thanks
No reason other than I thought it looked tidier. Due to the graphic card being a little short it was annoying me going across the case.

Very tidy machine but I agree to the vert cable. Could you run a bit of metal wire through the braiding and bent it so it runs underneath the graphics card and along the mobo?

 

[Feronix]

That's a tidy machine indeed! I know how difficult that can be in the Shinobi.

Bit of an odd choice of components for a budget build though, mainly the PSU which is way overkill and you could've gotten a much cheaper one but at least you didn't skimp on it like many people do

Very neat and tidy, nice one dude.

Awesome looking tidy rig - could have saved a few quid and got the RM750 PSU though. Still a nice tidy build so Ive facebooked it

It's something to look at for sure, this was just all I could think to do mid-cleaning lol. GPU may be changing shortly though.

Thanks all. As for the PSU, I know it's overkill but I bought it on here BNIB for a good price. It was too good for me to pass up and PSU is the one thing I really wouldn't want failing, plus being overkill hopefully means I won't need to replace it for upgrades/next build.

And thanks Tom, I saw. Spelt my name wrong :lol: Means a lot to have your approval as well though so I'm chuffed.
BTW, I probably would have gone for the RM series but I actually bought/built this a little before they were released (August last year).

Very nice rig ! Plain and simple is always a big plus ( I think )

Nice and tidy indeed

I'm going to sound like an *...* (insert appropriate term) here, but the only thing bugging me: that little green sticker on the top fan. Please remove it?

Haha. Consider it gone
I hadn't even realised I'd missed the one on the top fan. Wasn't visible until I turned the fan around to reposition the cable.

Superb! Haha

nice clean build, cable management is not the easiest in the shinobi, but very clean nonetheless,
