Republic of Gamers Theme build (with half the calories)

[mineutsystems]

Hey Guys,

Haven't really posted any new projects in a while so here's one to end the year with. I decided on a Republic of Gamers Theme build, but in a micro ATX form factor:

Core i5 2500k @ 4.7Ghz

Asus Maximus IV GENE-Z

8GB Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600

Corsair H60 cpu cooler

2x Xigmatek 120mm Orange LED fans

64GB OCZ Solid 3 SSD

1 TB WD Black Caviar

Asus Matrix GTX 580 Platinum @ 950/1900/2004

Corsair AX750 PSU

Samsung Blu Ray/DVD Burner

Silverstone TJ08B-E

I was thinking of sleeving the power cables, but with such limited space maybe extensions would be better? Can't really decide if I should go with all red, black, or maybe even white? All suggestions are welcome

Red and black would be the best and most obvious choice. Other than that it looks excellent. I really like it.

Hey dude really nice rig you've got there.

I've got that Blu-Ray drive, what software do you use to play Blu-Rays? I'm having some difficulties.

Cheers

Cool rig, never seen the case layout like that before.

Thanks! I'm using Cyberlink PowerDVD10. Haven't had trouble playing any Blu-Rays yet.

Nice looking build you have there dude.

Ah ok, mine came with PowerDVD9 but it doesn't play blu-rays for some reason. I've got it sorted now using 11. Thanks

Those fans look so unbelievably orange

How well is the H60 cooling the 2500K under load with your OC? That's a really cool way of mounting the SSD. This looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing with us.

My H60 with push/pull keeps my 2500K cool under load @ 4.4GHz

Loving the set-up, I have a Matrix too! Well, 2 of them to be precise! Haha, fantastic set of cards!!

Thats why he put it in the rig gallery and not the project logs

Looking good m8, One problem though. Those damn matrix cards ruin your pc looks because of the blue lights. So you are going to have to constantly run that GPU at max so it stays red

Shouldn't be a problem in this day and age

or he could follow Ikoyian's tutorial on how to mod the lights so they are on red at low load

You´re layout is very nice, just a shame it isn´t all red and black to fit the ROG theme.

Sick rig mate. Silverstone cases are the dog's balls
