I love working at this rig. It now has Ubuntu Studio with Beryl/Compiz running dual desktop and is freakin sweet to sit/stand/work in front of. Streams media to my modbox in the living room. Bluetooth stereo headset and keyboard/mouse make desk surface wire free.

Post your commentCan I be the first to say that your PC is a work of art! 10/10 from me m8
Dont think I would keep a nice system like yours by a window, so ppl can see what you have.
nice hardware, i know your cables are all uv from the looks but i would still try and do some cable management 7/10 as is and 8/10 with cable management
WAWAWEEWA NICE.....
Kick ass setup dude, 10/10 from me ... I'd give you more but its not possible.
Thumbnail 12 reminds me of "Minority Report" and "The Matrix" for some reason ... very futuristic looking with the chair and monitor arm and such. Maybe you should Photoshop it so the cars outside the window are all Hover cars or what ever.... LOL.

wheres the watercooling that came with the case?
this kandalf is not coming with watercooling kit is the kandalf lcs only this is the first thermaltake kandalf normal
I'm impressed bro, now you just have to do something with it! When UT3 comes out Nov Nvidia will hopefully have their drivers fixed for your card. I forget, is the 8800 you got a GIG of video memory? What is the GPU speed? I remember benchmarking it against my Mac Pro's ATI, but the results were not correct because Nvidia had not completed their drivers for Vista 64 yet.
Does anyone have some suggestions for better cable management? I agree with mullered07 that although the UV cables are nice and all, it could look better organization. I'll try twisty ties for now. Oh and that's for cable management in the *visible* areas. I think some people would get a kick out of seeing the jumble of wiring and electrical tape under the back panel so I'll post a pic of that soon.
From both a tech and an asthetic perspective, Atomic is a beautiful machine.
However, having personally seen it, I must comment on an additional, little feature not depicted. I simply love that you can change the back ground color with a mixture of red, green and blue lights. The pictures you have on this site show blue, but you should consider posting other colors. :)
