I love those wheels, way nicer than the ones on my stc-t01.

Looking through some old pics I spotted this mess:

Judging by that fan I am guessing I didn't like my D14 much.

Lol it is being held in place by GPU power cables lol ghetto af.

Is there a story behind that random Visa sticker? You got a restaurant in that case? :laugh:

Or rather, I hope your PSU isn't able to cook food :D

Yup that's it pretty much. That was a lot of money back then when all that stuff was new, especially with conversion, and a donkey punch tax.

I used to work at a storage facility. The kind where you drop all of your junk off because its worth sooo much to you, but you can never pay your bill, and I cant auction it because its junk.. that kind. But there was also Drs. and lawyers.. people from all walks of life. So its not as bad as I made it out, but it still happened monthly. That visa sticker had been sitting there for eons.. the one in the window was still good :D

Edit:

I don't see my RevoDrive so that piece of junk must have died already. Man that thing was fast coming from 3x Raptor 150s in R0.

I was thinking of printing / cutting my own version of them (the DD tower 21 I used to have was super simple -- would be easy to make). I never saw the wood ones but those could be even better.

Too bad they aren't around anymore that was a sweet case.

Ugh, I couldn't stop my obsession with this system being stacked and "balanced" a certain way, so I ended up buying a 2nd ASUS Z10PE-D8 WS. Here's the stack of 3x4U Rosewill chassis. I don't want to get a traditional rack to mount them all. My weird idea is to get some custom spars / brackets made and make these 3 chassis stand up vertical together. This way I can also have two windows showing on the two of the systems. Totally weird, I know.


Photo has my old ASRock X79 Extreme 11 which has been fantastic too.

Apologizes for the dirty floor and room:

Haha yeah, it's an Radeon HD 7990. I have to fix a broken fan on it (ordered it); it was cheaper because of that issue. It's not normally laying around like that. =P I have a tiny apartment though. I have two of them. Worried about burning my place down running them both.

EDIT

Upgrading from my ASRock X79 Extreme11 with an E5-1680 V2 to an ASUS X99 IPMI WS board with an i7-6950X for my main rig. This rig is basically my main gaming and daily use system and the "controller" for the 3 systems I showed previously. This one uses a shorter depth Rosewill 4U, the RSV-R4000.

I really splurged like crazy recently for stuff I wanted a long time ago. I do want more recent stuff but I think I'll wait for the DDR5 era and a few years before really making a big change.

I added new thermal pads to the heatsinks including new paste for the PCH and thermal pads underneath the board by the CPU brackets; just figured it would help a bit. My drives are a bit of a mess right now. I have to install the IcyDock cage especially.

I picked up a Bykski block for my 3070ti. Brand new block, fresh from the mill. Wasn't advertised for my particular card, but with a little research I discovered that it used the same PCB. Installing a radiator in the backside panel of an 011 dynamic is a really, really tight fit. I had to take a chance with ordering a shorter reservoir tube from EK so it would fit in the case and allow for room for the run from the top to the radiator and thankfully it works with my Thermaltake Pacific. Just finished it, just got to go back in tomorrow and clean things up!

Real nice, good job! I like that CPU cooler, what kind/brand is it? Ilove the 3D look to it. I have a Thermaltake pacific MX-1, which is suppose to have some depth to the RGB look, but not like that one.
Well done :pimp:

Edit; Good to see some Thermaltake in there! A lot of people trash the brand for copying, or things they think happened only because they heard it from somewhere else, but they are a good brand and have always hooked me up with good customer service. I used them to build my whole computer other than G Skill RAM and Gigabyte board and GPU. I think there Quad fans (54 LED's!!) are the best out there, and I was lucky to snatch a Core P7 while I still could (Thank Ken for that!!!! :toast: ). Also like the Pacific P-32 pumps :D good luck!

I expect Bugs bunny or Porky Pig to come out that CPU block with the circles the way they are in the picture. That means I
m getting real old!!! :twitch:





:laugh: "And that's all folks"!!!!!

Luckily, it's right in the middle of the PCB, you can see the single brown 8-pin connector in the first pic.

you got so lucky lmao... well done!
Yep, two millimeters more and I'd have to rip that drive cage :laugh:
