Putting together another low-budget HTPC ($300) in a case I'm quite familiar with (I have one, and it is a PAIN to work in). Took around a day, managed to get the feisty Pentium up to 4.2GHz (I know the screen cap says 4.1GHz, this was before I tweaked some more settings). Right now it is rock...

Mainly used for Maya and 3DS Max, our budget was $3000 give or take a bit. Didn't want to wait for the new Haswell-E Xeons to come out so we went with an Ivy Bridge-E setup. Specs: It took a while to source everything at a good enough price. We went with a Quadro and a GTX combo since the...

Thinking of the following: -Swiftech Apogee Drive 2 -Swiftech MCR320 Drive B -Up to 2 X GPU blocks (haven't picked one yet) -Second rad somewhere (if needed) -Maybe a second reservoir (depending on orientation of the Drive B) Will be used to cool a 4930K OC'd and up to 2 x 780Ti...

Long story short, decent case, could be improved by replacing more rivets with screws. Found that I couldn't take out the lower drive cage, only the upper one because it's riveted in. Cable management is pretty good, but then again considering the case is fatter/wider than most micro-ATX towers...

Really, just a PITA case to work in. You may notice I don't actually have a motherboard in it yet....the Intel H67 board has been backordered for several weeks now -.- Case - Antec ISK 310-150 Mobo - Intel DH67CFB3 CPU - i3 3220 Ram - 8GB Corsair XMS3 Storage - OCZ Vertex 3 120GB SSD PSU...

A teaser for now, haven't gone through all of my pictures yet. Case - Streacom FC5-OD Mobo - Gigabyte G1 Sniper M3 (got a pretty good deal on it, needed the features over power savings) Proc - i3 3225 (mainly because of the HD4000 graphics) Ram - 8GB Samsung Low Voltage Storage - Intel...

I've spent hours trying to get the access point setup to no avail. 1) Apparently, my Cisco modem likes to assign new IP addresses to things, so I didn't figure out the web access page until an hour in (was NOT 192.168.1.245) 2) Do I input the same IP address, subnet, DNS and default gateway as...

Ingenious if I may say so, 30# test cable (believe it or not, temps did go down as the weight of the cooler was pulling the sink away from the cores on top): Brendan

The sticks themselves are crap for overclocking, can't run above 1600 even with two sticks in there, oh well. Brendan

Simple mod for those pesky bright LEDs that leak light out of all the cracks in the case, some heatshrink covering the plastic light tubes: Brendan

A few quick pictures of my new system, will take better ones soon: As you can see the Ninja 3 JUST fits under the sidepanel... The Aux. power connector is located in a poor position, cannot use any fans thicker than 25mm. The filters actually...
