UPDATED! Storm Trooper build. Haswell.
*UPDATED PICTURES ADDED TO THIS POST*
*Added 2 7950 boost editions*
So, Haswell is here and I decided it is time for some upgrades.
I did want a ROG board but ASUS are taking way too long to release their boards and I grew too impatient, but... Some pictures was uploaded on the Facebook page of the Gigabyte Z87X-UD4H with the new Corsair Vengeance Pro and it just looked so damn good! So yeah
As I said, this isn't a fresh build but an upgraded one. As for the case, I would like something new, I really likethe Corsair 750D but I am happy with this case and it wouldn't be a worthwhile upgrade.
Here is a a link to my old Rig Gallery. (first time build, it's kinda ugly to be fair).
Anyway, here is the updated rig and I do apologise for the camera quality on some of the pictures, some was taken with my HTC 8X.
I do plan on removing that drive bay and adding a 3rd AF120 when I get a drive bay cover... If anyone can see some way to improve the looks, please do tell ^_^
Specs:
*********************************
Here it is now with 2*7950 boost editions (and many more pictures as requested)
*********************************
I try to do decent cable management around the back and it NEVER goes my way :lol:
Now a couple shots of my mouse, headset and monitor, never took any of keyboard... Just as well as it is an old wireless HP one but you just get use to some things, same with the mouse, it's years old.
