Yeah it's awesome! I like how you have the boxes from all your hardware, they are all pretty and new lookin'. I like it :3 the boxes for my stuff isn't so pretty.. Also, adopt me please.

15th, how is that hp e-station printer?

1000's of dollars on hardware and you ask about the printer, lol. :roll:

You need more tech bro:toast::laugh:

Nice fish tank btw lol:)

Yeah, because my recipe books killed mine.. So... I need a new one... :roll: wait... that sounds like my cooking is bad...



hahahhahahha.. how's this one?

Gotta find the diamond in the ruff some how!! ;)

Haven't posted here in ages, but feel it's time to share my setup:

Here you will see my Sega, not up to much these days, just looking pretty and reminding me I'm not doing enough modding. My ultraportable Samsung is still going strong, just upgraded to an SSD and although 3 years old feels like new again. Then you will see on the right my two GPU folding rigs thrown together from random parts I have picked up for cheap where I can. Getting 32k PPD atm.

heres my humble rigg what i built 2 weeks ago,its a mid range gamer,and its a nice machine ,i just added antec 620 and it cools very well,especially wit 2 fans on it,idle is 21-23c ,even when gaming dont go over 40c no joke,

the case is a generic 80,s black cheapo but works until i build my own etc,the gpu is not installed in this shot,id just added the antec at the time,

i like the idea of getting coolest/smallest machine possible why not,challenging.

Thanks so much for your comments guys! I appreciate it :toast:

Thanks mate! :respect: just let me know when you're in the area and we can play a few games :) just try not to pwn me so bad, my reflexes aren't what they used to be :p

He he, thanks man! Sure I can adopt you ;) dunno if the wife will be happy though! :D

To be honest with you, it's not so good, got it at Costco way bellow retail price, but lately's been giving me a lot of trouble, claims it's out of paper even when it's not :(, sometimes my IPhone or iPad won't find it over wifi, forcing me to reboot the printer, and the ink is very expensive too, but I got an Inktek refill kit from Amazon for a fraction of the OEM ink price, the printing quality is very good though, and the touch screen and apps are pretty neat.

Thanks man! Do you have a tank too? Been thinking of setting a salt water tank one of these days... :)

She wont have to know, I can live in the shed :D and If you have drilled a little hole and filled the ink your self it will do that, that was happening with mine, so I returned it, kept the ink from that one and they even gave me a newer one with more ink!

Just picked up a new 32" Samsung hdtv on clearance at Costco for $206 out the door.:toast: Decided to hook it up to the rig just for fun and you know... I kinda like it for now. It's overkill with web browsing, but awesome for gaming!

I can feel that. I wasn't using the 40" Sammy in my living room near enough. It gets a metric shit ton of use as my main monitor now:) It also scales the size of my TJ11 down a bit...lol

My sister just got a new tv, a 40 inch and it's massive. I don't know how you can play games like that unless you're really far away, sneeky are you blind? It's okay, were here to help.

I once tried sitting about 3 feet away from a 56" plasma and tried playing UT3, needless to say my eyes bleed instantly.

Damn near 40 but not blind. I write a lot with Word and do image editing. It's only 1080p res, but the increased size is a huge plus. I sit like 2-2.5' away:D


UT3 will make your eyes bleed at any res! :p

Lol, that was in 2008. It looked good at the time.

Oh it still looks OK, its just that even on my 22" or 24" my eyes would bleed from that game....it was just too fast paced I think, IDK. I do know I could only take 30mins to an hour of that game on any screen I tried:)

Agreed, using a 27inch here and have the black edition of UT3, the movement isn't natural it is close to fast paced hovering than running and yeah gives me motion sickness after a while.

My Specs...
i7 2600k @ 4.5 Ghz 1.29VCore 1.08 VCCIO
Asus Maximus Extreme IV
EVGA GTX 580 SLI (3 rd card not installed at the moment But I do have one)
XSPC 750 2x120 RAD 750 KIT (With some mods)
Corsair Graphite 600T SE white
Cooler Master 1000 Watt Silent 80plus Gold
Intel X25 SSD 80GB
G.Skill 8GB 1866Mhz Sniper 1.5v
2x Western Digital 500GB Black Caviar RAID 0

I only mention my specs to show you that we have similar systems.... and to show you what temps you could expect to get with your cooler.... The only real major differences to mention are.....1. My WC set up is a little different 2. I only have two fans on my RAD and they were only running at 50% instead of their normal 100% 3. Gelid Extreme TIM 4. My other GTX 580 is currently out of my system because of my main PSU going down. 5. This was after benching at 5Ghz for awhile before I restarted and saw your post.

So.... I think the temps here that I show you should be doable if you change your TIM and maybe look for fans with more static pressure..... If not exactly the same at least close to the same temps.... Hope this helps yah... You should be able to drop them by another 8c just something to shoot for..... BTW really nice build bud.... really really Nice!!!

I've found Colin Mcree rally v1.0 used to give me the sinking stomach feeling when doing some of the big jumps in Australia still does too don't know way I know it's just a game but everytimes a treat no other game does that to me though ;)

LMAO! Sure man, I'll make sure you have access from the shed to the house; heck, we'll probably spend more time at the shed having some beers that at the house, no worries bro... ;) :p

Seriously, did you buy your printer from Costco? I've been refilling mine for quite a while, and I thought that voided the warranty, but since the paper loading thing has nothing to do with the ink refill, and after hearing you had the same problem with your printer, this sounds to me more like a manufacturing defect that should be covered by warranty, should I bring my printer back to Costco?

I hear you mate! :toast: That TV on our gaming room in the pic is a 58" 3DTV, nothing beats playing Crysis 2 and The Witcher 2 on it :rockout:

Thank you so much for your post, I'm familiar with your system, and our specs are pretty similar, I've always admired your custom water cooling setup though :respect::pimp: It's been an inspiration to me, and many times I've found myself adding a radiator, three koolance GPU water blocks , and all the necessary stuff for a custom water loop to a cart at FrozenCPU to get my SLI setup water cooled after seeing your system pics, only to quit when I'm about to check out, man why am I such a chicken shit when it comes to custom water cooling?? :ohwell: :laugh:

Regardless, thanks for your advice, I'll definitely order some Gelid TIM after hearing two of you guys recommend it to me already, and apply it to my H100. Temps have already dropped a couple degrees since I installed my cooler, and it's not even been 24 hrs yet, so I guess the goo added by Corsair needs a bit more setting time, ambient temperature is bound to drop any time soon here also, as we are still hitting 92 degrees max, and we keep our AC pegged at 76 degrees all day long :( It's gonna be a nice bill from SCE :twitch: but anyway, I'll try your advice, and probably even lap my CPU for the sake of it :p

Unnecessarily large monitor? I say YES!

And I say: Why the hell not? :rockout::rockout: :toast:

@15th Warlock - Did you ever try bi-amping your Klipsh mains?

Very nice setup. Gotta love the Z-5500's! :rockout:

Yes, I did after you advised me to, and you were absolutely right, it sounds way better than having a front wide speaker setup :rockout: thank you for your recommendation :)
