Built Wifey a custom Rangers themed PC

ghost28 · Mar 20, 2009

So my wife is a diehard NY Rangers Hockey fan....Her entire office is dedicated to the rangers with every sort of memorabilia possible....so since my first Build this past month went well and her PC died a while back i figured i would build her a new one for her birthday which is this sunday while she was away in ROME....

i decided to do the Rangers theme last minute and went shopping o find all of the little items 2 nights ago....i think it turned out well....my only gripe is that i should have taken all of the parts to my uncles Auto Body shop to paint them in his Spray Booth(he lets me use the shop and booth any time at night)...the Krylon came out decent but not 100% up to my standards....

AMD Athlon X2 7750 Black Edition PCU
ASUS M4A78 PRO Board
4GB OCZ Gold DDR2 800 RAM
WD 320AAJS HDD
Cooler Master Centurion 5 Case
Cooler master 500W PSU
ASUS 22x Multi DVD Drive/Writer
Bytecc Card Reader
CPU Cooler is the Stock cooler from My Phenom2 X4 940 BE which was alot nicer looking than the stock cooling that came with the Athlon :rockout:

added a Cooler master BLUE LED fan in the front for some more cooling
Windows XP Pro 32Bit
LG Flatron 19" LCD Monitor(my old monitor since i got the 24" :rockout:

)

dont mind the painting dust in the bottom i just cleaned it out after i saw the pics..LOL....

its been up and running since about midnight last night and all seems well....she should be happy....

case in stock form

my transformation

I like the curled SATA cable. Do those come like that, or did you just wrap it around a dowel?

Otherwise, nice case!

I just wrapped a regular SATA cable around a Long Screwdriver...it works well for stuff thats close by...i didnt want to go too crazy on the cables in this build since the case doesnt have a window....

Conti027 · Mar 20, 2009

looks good but I was hoping for 'power' rangers when I opened the thread

MilkyWay · Mar 20, 2009

oh i though you meant this rangers

Glasgow Rangers LOL

nice mod tho if your into that team lol i like the sata cables also
real easy to do just twist them round a pen or pencil

mc-dexter · Mar 20, 2009

I'm no fan of Ranger... but that case design is spot on

Mike0409 · Mar 20, 2009

Very very nicely done! :toast:

Cptnyr · Mar 20, 2009

i am so jealous of your wife for getting that!!! Rangers are my favorite team and i love hockey. Thats what nyr in my name stands for.

Great work it looks very professional!!

mc-dexter · Mar 20, 2009

I'd love a newcastle united FC case

... I don't think i'd ever want a woman again :roll:

oh how id love a transformers case or one of those team fortress turret/dispenser cases now those are cool

mc-dexter · Mar 20, 2009

I agree with a transformers case

OverclockedBoo · Mar 20, 2009

Looks nice.

I built my son a system with the same case, CPU and PSU. We're using a DFI 790FX mobo and a 3870 VGA.

Have you OCed the 7750 yet. With stock vcore and cooler we top out at 3.0Ghz...

what tops out first though. Vcore or the temperature?

In other words does it over heat or a reboot/BSOD or something?

Sean8 · Mar 20, 2009

i havent OCed it yet...i will probably play with it a bit once i give it to her...after what she had prior to this i think its fast enough....she had an old Pentium 3 with 128mb RAM... :eek:

I would gladly build another if you wanted one....you could pick all the goodies and colors as you wish....i would only ask a little something for my time(i put a TON into this LOL)....you from NY?

Jets case may possibly be next....Brother in law is a huge JETS fan and his PC is almost dead...i have been telling him i would build him a new PC and when he sees this he is gonna want a JETS Themed one i know it....

to all those that replied if i missed any Thanks for the compliments.....

Cold Storm · Mar 21, 2009

Ghost, I gotta say, you got some sweet skills! That case is just drop dead... Man, I love Hockey and that's Icing!!

n-ster · Mar 21, 2009

Wow a Rangers PC :O Rangers is my 2nd favorite team (NJ being first... I'm like the only NJ fan that also likes NY :laugh:

)

I tell you... Rangers have LOTS of potential... they just don't use it

Sweet case btw... you can make a business out of it.... try this in Montreal (here in Mtrl, 90% of the ppl are Extreme canadiens fan xD) and you'll be the richest TPU user xD

Chicken Patty · Mar 21, 2009

hey man great job with the theme. Looks like you chose a good time now that the Rangers got Sean Avery, seems to be becoming a crowd favorite quick :toast:

Right now they are hanging on for a play off spot, good luck!

Hope your wife enjoys it :rockout:

Cptnyr · Mar 21, 2009
