Post Your Rig!

not a zip tie in sight

I used one zip tie behind the hard drives to hold the chaise cables (led USB sound) other then that every thing is to tight to use a zip tie, and since i named the comp space monkey (off of FireFly ) it all works out

Nice to see all the effort you put into cable tidying there junebug

Just checked your boards manual, and it appears that you only need the orange sata ports connected like that if you want to use the eSATA port on the back IO shield. So you don't actually need that for SATAII, it will run at that speed automatically.

figured that to be the case as well but i didn't want to take any chances

Here is one that I found in my archive, This one has all 4 sticks and all 3 drives. Pretty good shot i thought.

Geez a lot of love for that tank, the Thermaltake Armor... All my friends laugh at me for buying it as it weighs ~70LBS with all my stuff in it.
This is a pic before I got my Q6600, 8GB RAM and abit IP35-Pro (which does not support SLI). Oh, and the 22" Acer AL2216W (black).

My Opteron 170, A8N32-SLI Deluxe (full accessories) and a 7900GTX are for sale here and only here on LR...

Yes, I have used duct tape to hold cables in place, and no, it doesn't get sticky. I run the duct tape back on itself and then tape the non-sticky "tape" together at the ends with more tape. VERY strong, and great for holding fat cables. The power supply is the most stupid purchase I ever made. Not because PC Power and Cooling is a bad brand, but because of the 12v rail design which leaves 12v1 and 12v2 essentially dedicated to processors and 12v3 has to power everything else (graphics, drives etc). Talk about a waste of 17A...

That's pretty darn heavy, that's for sure....................

My UFO comes in at slightly below 50 pounds even with all the water cooling gear installed..................

Nothing special or super duper , but my rig treats me well .

My trusty Antec AMG case has served me well for the last 5yrs or so , but its time has come and daddy needs a change !

I still need to buy a few new parts before I use the new Cosmos 1000 case (as its been sitting there in the box since last Christmas '07) , but I should have the new case up and running in another week or so . I'll post some internal pics once the Cosmos 1000 is up and running .

all i know is that when i try to lift mine with all the water cooling stuff it makes my back hurt. i still have to muster the strength and curage to put this this thing on a scale
Heres another random pic:


and heres some very nice work related equipment i could tell you what we were doing but then id have to kill you

[kappage]

Well i think its finally my turn.
This is my jukebox


The jukebox is running a Celeron 900Mhz, with a small Hard drive soon to be upgraded, it also has a 12" touchscreen which i ahd to make cables for which couldnt be bought.

This is my main desk

Yea covered in crap aye?

This is my PC the front bezel was Not bought i modded it, it was plain with no big hole in the front.


and this is how much it sticks out


My main pc is currently running what is in my sig, Ya im lazy.

[ibleet]

Yikes, thats rough!

Someone needs to save you from yourself by hiding your cans of spray paint. Dude!

[martini161]

I love the mousepad glad to see the austrailians still love us

[skier]

kappage, why is your main rig blowing exhaust into your face??? maybe temps for the computer, but it must make YOU run hot

[tekgek]

Here is my rig. Not a quad core, but Dual is fine for me.



The wiring still needs some work, but I will get to it eventually.



And, or course, my desk. Someone else on this thread has one just like it.

[kappage]

kappage, why is your main rig blowing exhaust into your face??? maybe temps for the computer, but it must make YOU run hot

i have a few cables that came with stuff, ummm Camera and my calculator that i use regularly and most of the time i cant be bothered getting up. But it doesnt blow into my face or even on me, the exhaust fan has grooves on it blowing it behind the monitor

@martini161: the mouse pad was free and im too cheap to buy a new one. But i suppose i jsut like the size of the pad.

Hey Tek (and other 900 owners) ... Here's an idea that I saw over at XS for the power supply. Doesn't necessarily reduce the heat I think, but I think it's a pretty cool idea. Just cut a hole in the bottom of the case, trim the hole, and invert the supply.

There's a thread over at Xtreme Systems with tons of ideas and work logs for the 900, http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/sho ... p?t=126395 . As with most boards, there's your typical love/hate/bickering, but aside from all that, and the 40+ pages now, there are some really nicely modded Antec 900s, and ideas that can be used on other cases as well. Thanks Dan for the "ok" to post the link.

[tekgek]

I agree, it is an interesting idea, but, as a lot of my friends know, I am really clumsy, so I might get someone who is good at doing this sort of thing. But I do have one question about that: if it does not help with cooling, what exactly does it accomplish? Perhaps it helps some of the hot air form coming back into the computer? Just a thought

[DaIceMan]

I think it looks pretty good... IMO, the PSU looks a bit goofy with the label upside down.

[ibleet]

I'm not a neat freak by any stretch, but some of these wiring jobs are a disaster.

[DaIceMan]

yeah, mine is hideous. I was planning to make some amends to mine, but as of Friday nights ALL of my plans have changed. Things are going to be moving around like crazy. New parts, new homes, new mods. Crazy man, Crazy!!

[DaIceMan]

where'd everyone go. More pics and specs!!!!!!!! I'll probably edit my sig over the weekend, since new goodies are on the way and nothing in my sig will remain the same.

[stopthekilling77]
