The 2013 Post Pics Of Your Rig Thread!

Thanks.
Case has really nice cooling, if you don't use standard hdd cage. 180mm fan producing airflow through entire cpu+gpu chamber, it has relatively short distance to get out of the case through rear panel. Psu is also hidden, so if you want to make it look neat, no need to pay for expensive full modular, because you can't see power supply in this case anyway. There is interesting layout of this case, that has multiple advantages.

after a longer time viewer of this thread, I thought I'd FINALLY post my Rig. Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

looks like a Core 2 Dell Optiplex or something similar, which was probably hot. Don't hook up ethernet or wifi to this, as most of these have a "Phone Home" rom chip on the motherboard once it's connected to the internet.

our server machine at work looks identical to this

check no rom chip it had a intel pentium 4 at 3.00ghz in it upgrade it to a pentium D 3.00ghz
I dont think it was hot being its age and how damage the case was
 
All in a nice big NZXT Phantom 630 full tower:

good lord that winter is coming pc...

i have to admit i'm sort of unsure why anyone would go to the trouble of making a pretty nice rig with fancy sleeved cables and all then leave it to get that dusty....

meh...

so I live by the beach and it is what i like to refer to as "dusty as F***' here.. I have my pc cases up off the floor sitting on wood planks on this metro rack thing




for a bit i had my old case on the floor and i had to dust it monthly to keep it from getting like that corsair case.. even with filters.. raising em' up the floor has help ..honestly the upper case (my main rig .. ESXi server below) is the less dusty of the two..but the server get's less dusty being a bit over a foot off the floor...

I also found this freaking awesome looking Oreck XL airfilter thing at the thrift store ..for $10 it has been helping w/ dust also..



You seriously need to turn that "Oreck XL airfilter thing" into a badass retro HTPC case mod.
 
Building a mini version of my current PC, ordered 3 video cards (both will have GTX780 Ti, Full size tower will have 780 Ti SLI) Small case has a 4770k ordered for it.

Okay, as someone who used to LAN-party on a weekly basis that thing is HELLA SEXY!

Okay! Found out who made it by dint of my MAD-ass Google Skillz!

The cases are ECS Composite cases.

Here's a link to a 3U on EBay.

Here's a link to a 5U that looks pretty frackin' familiar.

The version you have is one of their legacy cases (no longer in production). Though they still do produce rolling rack cases.

http://www.ecscase.com/loadmastertm-rackmount

They start at about $1700...:eek: :eek: :eek:


Found a black version of yours (4U) on EBay for about $320.

And, the seller's name is a coincidence (i.e. it's not me).

The 5U linked above has a couple listings in the $375 range.

The last picture is old and you can see the Arc Midi R2 Under the desk. I couldn't fit everything into the R2 when i bought my 2 Lightnings and had to go with the Obsidian 750 D
 
thanks, appreciate it. actually in the process of building myself a Galant Style Desk, as they are waaaaaaaay to expensive here in Germany :(
But the monitors are great, just purchased 3 Vesa Adapters to mount these. I will be posting pics as soon as the desk is complete and monitors are mounted.
