A shot before the block gets shipped away to Altered.


XSPC 'Razor' 4870 FC.


Not the best shot, but it'll do.

no worries man i like the lighting allot gives it some mood
Maybe if you set the focus on a wider area so the whole card is in focus ive just noticed the bottom capacitor things are a very tad fuzzy, but still a great picture
Edit: you must also have a decent camera coz normally in darker photos you get artifacts, which you dont have in that so....

The power of chance. hehe. Sometimes a quick snapshot looks better than many planned things.

The full-sized pic is a bit blurry, but scaled down it looks absolutely awesome.

A relatively random shot of a Thermaltake 120mm rad. Antec spot cool lurking in the shadows and 8 gigs of Patriot DDR2 below it.
