I like it all, but the remote fill tube..
great build.. congrats to the brother!

You have an interesting definition of a "budget rig"...
But I suppose that is a relative term anyway.

I like it, very nice system

As deano mentioned, the filling tube does slightly bother me as well,
but sometimes you have to be practical. Really lucky brother.

I wouldn't call this a "budget rig" but it's certainly very nicely done! A lot of inspiration for me and what i may eventually do with my600T. What modding did you have to do and what are the temps like?

Nice and tidy, shame that PSU isn't fan up

Fan-down makes cable routing a lot tidier than fan-up. Plus, fan-up is for aesthetics only, Tom has explained this multiple times. You mount the PSU whichever way you want to, that's why both PSUs and cases have mounting hole locations for both ways. :lol:

I say budget rig I didn't buy the parts just for this build
They are parts that where left over from my last too
Builds like the GTX 580 cam out of my old rig
Where I had try sli so I now have sli
And the spar card want in to here
Same with the fittings as you can
See They don't all match because that are spars
From different rigs I did one of them I posted
Here a way back

Un like Tom and others I really don't like
The fan up right and as pcjunkie pointed out
It is Much better for cable organizing

And thanks guys I'm glad you guys like it

My point was purely based on aesthetics, that sticker is fugly!

Well with braided cables it looks equally as tidy IMO, the only downsides I see are that the cables will be shorter to router around the back.

Nothing a hair dryer, razor blade, and some elbow grease can't fix .

Or.. you could turn it over and have a lovely fan grill to complement your rig

lol mate :yelrotflmao:

 

[pcjunkie429]

I do prefer fan-up for looks, but in a semi-large case like his 600T, fan-down is better for cable management. :lol:

What modding did you have to do to the case to fit all this in and what are your temps like? sorry to ask again but i think you missed my question last time and i'd love to know as it'd be great to do something like this with my 600T some day

Sorry mate I really did miss you question

the only modding I did is to cut out the bottom of the 2.5 bay
for the 200m rad so I have access too the rad screw and so it would fit
better.
but you don't have to do that mod the rad will still fit but it will be
really tight but it can be don I have don it before I modded

I have the i5 3570k @ 4.6Ghz with 1.35v
and the GTX 580 @ 980/2150 1.131v
