On its fourth year and still going strong, though.


Lian Li Lancool PCK62 - I will buy this case till they don't make it (aww just looked at newegg and doesn't look like its being made anymore)
corsair TX 750 PSU
i5 750 @ 4.2
asus sabertooth 55i
12 gb corsair 1600 xms3, oc'd
Sapphire 5850 , oc'd
Samsung spinpoint f3 7200 rpm 1tb (no way I need even that much, lol)
klipsch speakers
24" dell

few weeks ago I ordered an steelseries giant heavy mouse pad, so good

Definitely upgrade to a SSD. I can't have anything with a HDD anymore. Just way too slow lol. I'm with you on that Lian Li case. Best $100 I've ever spent. It's heavy because it is steel but for $100 it's an amazing case. My X58 Classy is even a EATX and I was still able to cram it in there. Liquid cooling is a bitch though, I'd have to get a new case when I go water.

My setup so far, i've been happy with it except one of my fans is making a weird noise lately. Probably have to replace it. Also I've been really disappointed with the ASUS PCE-N15 Wireless adapter, I've gone back to using ethernet any one have any tips on setting up a good wireless set up?

NZXT Phantom Case
G.Skill Ripjaw 8GB RAM
Cooler Master Hyper 212Evo
Intel i5 2500k
ASUS P8P67-Pro
ASUS PCE-N15 Wireless adapter

EVGA GTX570
Cruicial M4 128GB SSD
WD Black 1TB HDD

Razor Black Widow Ultimate
Logitech G9
ASUS VE278





Also for those that got Titanfall, how is it? Would you recommend it?

That's what i've been hearing lol.

Played the beta for Titanfall. Was ok. Was surprised it ran on my i7 920/HD 5870 pretty well. As others have said, it feels like Call of Duty, but with mechs

If I pick it up, I will probably get it on Xbox One just so that when I get tired of it, I can trade it in towards something else (too bad you can't do this with PC games anymore)

here's mine

fucking watercoolerers

[brzr]

played eq for years...than eq2 for a few more years, than went back to eq, than tried wow for a few months......than vanguard which was quite fun, but lacked players, and didn't get any work done on it since it's beta days.....and it's getting shut down

than neverwinter, and also checked the eso beta.....not impressed, will not continue with the beta

haven't found a game that holds my interest like eq and vanguard did........or maybe it's just the lack of time

my husband had this crazy set up he did too with the watercooling..but he ran it outside of the case, and the whole computer looked like some weird contraption

he made up these crazy copper pipes to run the water through

this was years ago though....possibly a decade ago

That's too bad about ESO. It didn't really pick up for me until lvl 10 or so. I loved EQ and never really like WoW so I am surprised you didn't like ESO since I thought it was a bit closer to EQ than any other recent MMO.

Thanks All of the wires are tucked behind the panel that the motherboard is attached to. So basically the backside of the tower. It has little spots to attach zip ties to to organize wires and such back there which is part of the reason I got it. I still kinda want a Corsair Tower though, just looks better. And yes the power supply is modular. Love it.

Sweet rig, I want to try water cooling so bad but I always picture things going incredibly wrong with water all over the place. Don't have the guts lol.

Get an AIO cooler. I've done a custom loop before with a Koolance Exos and while it was neat, the extra money spent didn't make a huge difference at the time. Granted this was back in '04 and things have advanced a bit, but I find the AIO offerings awesome if you just want water on your devices. NZXT and maybe another company are making brackets as well to adapt the coolers to your GPUs as well. And I can't remember who, but there's at least one company that offers an AIO solution that's modular so you can add tubing, extra waterblocks, etc.

Since everyone else is posting, might as well share my ancient rig that's still proudly chugging along.

Cooler Master 690
Corsair TX650
ASUS P8P67
Intel i5 2500K @4.5 on AIO water - Antec Kuhler 620 push/pull config
8GB G.Skill Sniper RAM
Creative Sound Blaster Z
PowerColor 2GB HD6950 flashed to 6970
WD Black 1TB drive
Crucial 60GB SSC

No pictures though.. Really want to do a rebuild at some point, maybe next year. It's hard to justify now when what I have is running so well. 750GB or 1TB SSD will definitely be the next upgrade though. The CM690 is a beast and has held up for a long, LONG time, but I find myself wanting something smaller. I've always aimed at midrange bang for the buck stuff, and I'm considering doing a mid-high build in a Micro-ITX case. If need be I can go to mATX.
