Building her rig/cruncher #2

Radical_Edward · Oct 22, 2010

Yeah, I'll take some more photos soon.

She's playing Blade Kitten now.

[Ion] · Oct 22, 2010

Never heard of it...doesn't sound very intensive though

Probably not as much as DiRT 2 at least. I was disappointed to learn earlier that I couldn't max it out either on a GTS450 or GTX260 @ 1920x1080 :ohwell:

Radical_Edward · Oct 22, 2010

She's been a console gamer all her life, I have to slowly convert her to the light side of PC gaming. She's getting use to "FPS" keyboard controls now thou.

Chicken Patty · Oct 22, 2010

Finally! Freakin' UPS! :shadedshu

Looks great bro, I'll be waiting for the pictures. :toast:

It's uses barely any bandwidth and won't add much to the power bill w/ just 1 system crunching...couple bucks a month tops.

Randal, I'm glad it came! Is it fast enough for everything she does?

And can we get a shot w/ it installed?

i only have one rig. i would love to crunch if i had another!

Beautiful job bro, well done. :rockout:

TheLaughingMan · Oct 22, 2010

Looks good.

You should feed her some good PC titles that are quick and fun. World of Goo, Trine, Orange Box, and Batman AA is on sale right now for like $14.

And you both should join MAL (MyAnimeList.net).

I HAS SPOKEN!!

Radical_Edward · Oct 22, 2010

Thanks guys.

As for the games thing, I have a few other picked out that I think she'll enjoy.

I'll take a look at the website later.

Agreed.

REDDLINE · Nov 6, 2010

Oh wow, see now i wish i could have joined TPU earlier, i would have loved to donate a couple sticks of ram, a HDD and whatnot. This is the best example of a community coming together to help someone out.

Radical_Edward · Nov 6, 2010

Indeed. She uses her rig on a daily basis and thoroughly enjoys it. Now I just need to upgrade the RAM to 4GB at one point, and the CPU to a Athlon X4. Maybe a full blow Phenom II X4.

Radical_Edward · Jan 1, 2011

Installed the Hyper 212+ in her rig. Time for some OC'ing.

Chicken Patty · Jan 1, 2011

Keep us posted with the results of the overclock.

de.das.dude · Jan 1, 2011

go OC that beast BRO!!!!
make your lady proud!! :rockout:

and happy new year to you both

What CPU cooler are you using on that photo? The fan looks huge - like a 20cm radiator.

Radical_Edward · Jan 4, 2011

It's a Cooler Master hyper 212+ with two fans in push/pull config.

Radical_Edward · Oct 16, 2011

It's been a long while since I've updated this thread. Jeez.

Anyways, I was trying to figure out a way to improve airflow and still allow her to have both HDD's she now has. I removed the bottom HDD cage and used two of its screw mounting holes to mount her storage drive. her main HDD is in the other HDD cage above it.

KieX · Oct 16, 2011

You can always get an adaptor and put the 3 HDD in the 5" optical bays. Something like this: StarTech BRACKET Metal 3.5" to 5.25" Drive Adapter...

That way you get unobstructed airflow from front of case.

Radical_Edward · Oct 16, 2011

Yeah, I think I may have one around here somewhere from my CM690, just need to track it down.

Edit-

Also used a old PCI bracket to make a support for the 5770 since it seems it's flexing. :ohwell:
