The latest version of my workstation: Next step is to get 3 matching monitors and a nice LED TV to mount above it all.

My brand new Fredde! Still need to do a little more cable management, but I love this desk so far.

I like those speaker shelves. I have been debating about doing something like that with a tabletop, except I would put a whole shelf for my monitors, and then probably put those angled capitas for excess shelving.

there was someone else on this forum that built something similar to that, but the color scheme was green and it was built in to the wall I believe.

This. It will allow your computer to stay connected and let you connect any wireless devices you have as well. Go to any electronics store and they can help you find one in your price range.

Hey Deadlift, what size are those monitors? I have been thinking about putting together a configuration like that now that I have a video card that can handle it (6950 2GB).

This thread makes me think of the movie Hackers.

True, but if you move the 24pin cable you will just see all the cables from the 580's, which have the same look. I think his goal was to run all those cables down together, rather than have the 580 cables going down and the 24 pin cables going in a different direction, which might make it look...

This thread continues to amaze me. As I don't have the time or money to invest in good custom sleeving or full watercooling yet, I took the lazy route and have a Corsair H50 and individually sleeved cable extenders that I bought for cheap :-) .

Well my plan is to get a demiflex for the top that covers the whole top open area, have 2x140mm fans as intake, and leave the front 200 as is for now. that way I have the 200 intake, 2x140 intake, and the H50 push/pull as the exhuast. I also have a 6950 exhausting air, but it's not reference so...

are there holes to mount 2x 140mm fans in the front of the 650D? I never looked. I would love to replace the 200mm with 2x140mm if I could. if not, I plan to put 2x140mm on top as intake with a custom filter on top, and have an H50 with push/pull 120mm as exhaust to go with the 200mm in the...

I've had a 650D for a little while now, and what I think I am going to do is leave the 200mm on the front as intake. I'm gonna get 2 140mm or 120mm fans for the top as intake, with a filter on the top to keep the bunnies away, and then I have an H50 with push/pull as exhaust. I thought about...

I don't know if it has been mentioned before but what kind of camera/lens are you using for the pictures? I just got myself my a Nikon D5000, and I am still learning my way around DSLRs. I used a film SLR years ago, decided it was time to get back in with the digital :D

Just bought a Nikon D5000 that came with a AF-S VR 18-55 Lens Looking into getting another lens in the next week or so.

Yea, my wife is out of town today and tomorrow and so I get to charge it up and play with it a little to get it ready for her. Which means my computer gets to have a photo shoot! I'll post some pics when I'm done. This will be my first time using an SLR since before digital cameras. Should be an...

Thanks for all the input! Well, I decided to go with the Nikon D5000 that came with the 18-55 VR lens. I was going to get the 55-200 VR lens as well but they were out of it, so I'm going to wait a bit and see if I can get a good deal on a slightly better lens sometime in the next month.

Thanks for all the info guys! I have gotten lots of recomendations for Nikon from friends that use them, so I am now looking at the D5000 among a few others. I am not an expert by any means, so I had another question. How exactly does the autofocus work on the D5000? I realize that most of...

I am looking to buy an entry-level DSLR for my wife, this is the one I was looking at: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Nikon+-+10.2-Megapixel+D3000+Digital+SLR+Camera+-+Black/9456803.p?skuId=9456803&productCategoryId=pcmcat180400050000&id=1218107268800 My question is, what is the range of the...

or maybe we should just refer it it as the Murphy's Law build. :D I kid, I kid!

Don't worry about the home and car, etc. you will get to the point where you have all that stuff and will wish that you could go back to when you were 15. Having the home and car is nice, but you forget that it all comes with extra expenses(insurance, repairs, etc.) I am 28, and the computer I...

My newest setup:

I got my 650D over the weekend, here is everything installed! and here's everything set up and ready to go!

I could use one! bowmanm3 at gmail dot com

I dont know about the motherboard off the top of my head, but I have the Gigabyte 6870 with the triple fan cooling solution (11.5" i believe) and i still have a good 3 inches of space between the card and the hard drive bays.

I got my 650D yesterday(the newest model with the fixed fan controller), along with 8GB of Vengeance RAM :D ! Microcenter didn't have the H100 in yet, so I will just have to stick with my H50 push/pull for now. I have the majority of my stuff installed, just have to install some UV lighting and...

Hopefully it will be in Microcenter next week? We should definitely start a 650D gallery then. I will be getting my 650D along with a slew of other stuff tomorrow. I am building a new PC for my father and upgrading mine. New case, new video card, possibly an SSD. :D

What about the RV02? Would its vertical configuration help get cool air from underneath up through the case and eventually push the hot air out the front of the cabinet as it sucks cool air from the bottom?

Is there a gallery for this case up on the forums yet? I didnt see one, but maybe i missed it. If not someone should start one up! I will be getting this case next week and upgrading from an Antec 300. It will be nice to be able to do cable management without the need for a dremel! I will post...

I am looking to get a new laptop in the sub-$500 range that will mainly be used for the following: Web Browsing Streaming Movies from my WHS Plugging into the TV w/ HDMI to watch movies Occasional Video Chat My only definite requirements are: built-in webcam HDMI-out I've looked a...

So I finally had some time to install the H50 I got last week, so I thought I would post some pictures. I don't have much of the actual install itself though. I have one of the Antec 300's that does NOT have a backplate hole on the motherboard tray. I didn't feel like getting the dremel out...

ok i figured it out. I won't be near my computer till late tonight so i couldn't measure it, but I found out that it will indeed fit, and so will a 6970 if I went that route.

Ok, then my next questions is: will a 6950 fit into an Antec 300?

I have a sapphire vapor-x 5770 right now, would it be better to add a second 5770 and go Crossfire or get a single 6950? I will have 3 23" 1908x1080 monitors and would like to be able to max out the graphics as much as possible for games like CS, TF2, Civ V, etc. Suggestions? The rest of my...

I went there tonight. Didn't end up getting an SSD, but I did get an H50 for 54.99. Its weired because I found like 6 that were marked 54.99 and then saw an entire display of H50's marked at 74.99. Identical packaging and everything. I don't know if it was a glitch or what but I took advantage...

the manufacturer's warranty is 3-year limited. According to the website I would get the remaining balance of that warranty. I guess I'll just have to go down there and ask about each one to get the longest possible warranty.

Has anyone had any experience with open box items from Microcenter? My local store has a bunch Microcenter-branded 64GB SSD's with sandforce 1222 open box for 79.96 plus tax, and I was thinking about picking up a couple. However the open box thing worries me a little.

Its actually a window kit I ordered from crazypc.com. it came with the window and the molding.

When I built my own machine for the first time back in April of 2010, I got a sweet deal on the 300 and bought one for me and one for my wife's computer. Right after I built my computer I decided to add a window mod, UV lighting, and some neon green cable sleeving. I didnt have the money for the...

Did you make those stirrups, or did you purchase them somewhere?

Do you mind sharing what model of desk that is? I've been looking to get a desk with a raised monitor shelf like that for my office.
