Hey all! A few wanted to see some photos of my new rig that I just built. I have a few taken during the build out. Here's a list for the uber-geek of you out there: SEAGATE MOMENTOUS 750G 2.5" HYBRID XT 720 CORSAIR H80 HYDRO COOLING KIT SEASONIC X660 80+GOLD POWER SUPPLY XFX HD6870 1GB D5 PCIE 2.1 CORSAIR 8GB 2X4 D3 1600 MEMORY ANTEC SOLO II MIDTOWER CASE INTEL BOX INTEL CORE I7 2700K ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 1155 ATX Pair all of that with my Sceptre 24" LCD - now 3 years old - and lots of accessories... 2 additional internal SATA II drives (600gb and 750gb respectively) and 3 external hard drives, USB hubs, KVM switch, lots of power thingies...battery backup, etc. ...and it's a bit complicated in here. So on to the photos: Basics in before the power supply...there's the Corsair H80 cooler...reversed the air flow to blow OUT...moved the Antec's 120mm fan to the front..pulling air in Wow it worked...had an error on the upload, but there it is. Those are the boxes...before building. Building Windows 7 Pro... Close up of the motherboard...the Asus Sabertooth has this cover over it...with tiny 40mm fans - see the one in the middle - that further cool the components... Before the power supply...rear view... And I can confirm the statement below to be true. It's damned QUIET! Almost done...power supply and modular cords installed... Voila! Everything's basically connected, although I will add 2 hard drives later...I think I have other photos of that...eh..will upload in a comment later maybe...reply... AH! Found the other photos...so here. This was my OLD rig...Core 2 Duo ...not TOO loud, but really BRIGHT - lots of blue lights... Antec 900S case...'gamer' case..yadda yadda...5 years old broken side panel...ugh. New rig...DVD drives installed...video card and there's the fan I moved...on the flip-down section ...there are a couple of dust FILTERS - yeah, filters! - for all air intakes on the front of the case...I'll be curious to see how well these do in my dusty room... More to come in 2nd post..I think I reached the limit of photos.
