Now witness the power......

Two most important parts of any build?

First, a NASA coffee mug



Then, a massive air cooler heat sink  O:-)



:D

Lest we forget: otherwise I am at absolute awe by your machine  :)

Guess you can forget about actually closing the case...

Corsair Carbide series:

Damn that case is big. At least you can get your hands inside to fiddle with the components. I went with the Corsair Graphite 380T since I'm always moving my game rig from one room to another:

That's a neat, compact case for sure.  :)

I decided on the 300r for the exact reason I wanted a big, airy box that is easy to access. I don't need to move it around much, either.

Here's a better pic of 300r, from Corsair website

Damn PE. That's a good price for all that hardware. You should be running the Government. And with that computer.......

....The 1080 Retail is $699.... but I had some gift cards that reduced the cost....

That is a fraction of the price I paid for my last PC. Nice going! O0

Me too. I bought an Alienware Alpha a while back for $499 that runs anything I throw at it. Of course, it's mostly turn-based stuff or Paradox titles. I think 7 Days might be the most graphic intensive thing I run. That said, I can't stop ogling at your computer pics.  ^-^

This thread should be renamed.

Wow... What kind of power supply tames that thing?

It caused a blackout in the whole Mid West! ;)

I need one like that to replace my case. It looks nice and roomy. Was it very expensive?

I call my rig the Monolith...it is based on this case
EDIT - sorry for the thread highjack / bastardization

I will probably run this case until it falls apart somehow...but I don't see it happening...I love it.

Note the MB tray is rotated 90* so all the PCIE cards and MB headers are top facing instead of rear facing. And the VC has been updated...but besides that, some extra RAM and a SSD it's stock from 2010 when I built it...Hence time to rebuild.

So does the the Vid cable stick straight up?  ???

[jamus34]

There's some room with the metal top grille but yea if you are using an old VGA cord with a dvi adapter it's tight. Never had any issues myself though.

All the hot air of the system vents up and out.
