New rig :)

[charlie-j]

Hey,

Here's a picture of my rig now:

There are more pictures towards the bottom of this page.

I was asked to post some pictures here and I was about to take a few before I had to diagnose some problems... I didn't say it would be neat and have a look for your self:

I managed to fix the fan controllers though, see the difference between the low power and high power (brighter LED, sort of...):

The second it's all back together I will take some pictures of the outside, and I already have a few of the inside which I will be posting soon.

holy spaghetti cabling batman

 

[soapsupah]

ok dude you beat me in cable management XD, also the rig looks pretty cool (if you hide the cables ).

wich case it is? maybe theres no way to do a good cable management (i have alot of hard time doing it on mine and i had to use silvertape on the cables so they would stay in their place)

anyways cool rig tell me the hardware that is inside later

Soap.

Looks like the sillystring left overs from a new years eve party!

Spend a couple hours gettiong that done mate and it will look real nice

 

[VonBlade]

In comparison my PC looks like the cables are invisible!

The difference even a passing attempt at managing your cables will make will astound you.

Luckily I don't have a clear side window... it's not that bad anymore I was just getting the fan controllers working - I am posting the new pictures now.

Here are some of the images of the outside... it looks much better without the flash becuase you can't see the colour difference in the blacks. PS: the case was £20 from ebuyer I have to keep it compact as it needs to be portable.

Also, it has to have good hardware as it is always used for media (mainly music), and therefore needs memory card readers. I leave it on throughout the night quite a lot and need fan controllers to keep it quiet.

Hope you like it

Oh, PS: hardware is in my sig

 

[soapsupah]

wow this case looks cool, have temperature display too

sorry for the question but wich case is this? its mid tower no?

 

[charlie-j]

No, worries, it's cheap from ebuyer. The only problem is it only has 2 of the DVD things so if you have 3 or 4 they look weird. It's MID ATX and really good actually

Now just the CPU fan to sort... there's like no heat transfer for some reason

 

[soapsupah]

wow its pretty cheap £19.99, sadly we dont have cases at that price were i live, it would be a good case to mod for my old rig (a beige thing that my sis using nowadays lol)

 

[charlie-j]

Aww. It was a good bargain. I didn't have that much to spend but it was nicer than my old one by far! The next one up for me would be the Thermaltake Soprano (small version) which is £50 and has a door (which I don't want because the drives just open and crash into it lol)

 

[Sleekit]

Amazing rig mate...i'm dying to tidy those cables!!!! lol

 

[AntiHeroUK]

As said already cables need a good tidy, but it's looking good mate. That case is decent for the price.

 

[Kerotan]

Interior of the case looks surprisingly well thought out, good find!

 

[shabz]

any pics after cable tidyage?

 

[charlie-j]

Not yet, still sorting out the heatsink - I will after though

 

[Binman88]

I agree the case looks great for 20 quid. Looking forward to seeing more pics once its tidier

 

[BloomerzUK]

Not sure if it's been posted, didn't look but; why don't you have the Arctic Freezer 7 facing the other way, to blow hot air out the exhaust 120mm fan. Only seems natural. I've done the same in my case, temps are really good.. and it's a HTPC case..

 

[charlie-j]

I don't have that cooler any more... got a new one for about £40 which made no difference the plasic part of the SATA connectors on my motherboard came off on 1 so its a bit... easy to come off again and a pain to get back onto the pins without bending them. Therefore cable management I have to be very careful with.
