looks nice so far. You have a nice girlfriend and she is lucky to have you.

Its near impossible to find pink cases online so it seems modding is the only option available. I'm interested in seeing how this one turns out

WOW . is she into PC Hardware as much as you ?

If so then nothing like having a GF like that, life will pass just like that discussing PC Hardware .

 

[AMDCam]

SOLARIS?!?! I remember you! You're one of the only guys I do remember here. Why 2x 9600's though? Why not just a nicer single card setup?

 

[mrw1986]

You can see buttcrack in one of the pics....geek pr0n ftw...nice system for her man, I'm sure she'll enjoy it!

 

[Triprift]

Dang that will be a great setup ur gonna have one mega happy gf when its all setup.

i think the shadow of solaris digging it convienently covers it up

 

[Kursah]

Nice work man! I took the easy route with my G/F's build and stuffed a build inside a Pink Raidmax 02 case...it sucks for cooling, as 120mm intake that's severely choked off, and a decent 120mm exhuast, but it get's the job done! She says I can get her a better cooling case (antec300 comes to mind) if I paint the damn thing....maybe I'll have her paint it lol!

 

[Solaris17]

hahah you guys


to answer some questions

yes she thinks the computer hardware is neat and she loves how fast it runs

2 9600's because well she plays the sims and multi tasks alot and she also might be getting into more hardcore games later and i dont want to take the chance with stuttering so im getting her an sli set up because they scale incedably well and power draw is alot less and their coolers are relatively ilent (she hates how loud mine is)

as for butt crack i dont see it but if you guys need to think you do to mess up your KB's even more than by all means

and ya she's really excited she ran the rig for a day b4 we disassembled it today and she is soooooo eager to get it up again she loved it

thanks for all the kind words guys ill make sure those pics get up

SOLARIS?!?! I remember you! You're one of the only guys I do remember here. Why 2x 9600's though? Why not just a nicer single card setup?

how you doin man! you going to stick around here this time!?

holy crap its been a while sol but damn i see you are spoiling your girl, the paint job is pretty good (for a girl ) seriously i will watch and see how this little project of yours plays out

also are you switching out the led's for a color that would match the paint job (or something close enough?)

also two words- water cooling (you know for when she finds out how addicting benching gets )

 

[Kursah]

Get her Spore...if she likes the sims...she'll love spore...mine digs it a ton...that girl makes more funky ass creatures...I tell ya...

Her rig runs the game great, it doesn't need too much for resources, doesn't look horrible, it's pretty well rounded overall. I gotta get a different case tho...that damn thing doesn't get rid of heat fast enough...I stuffed one of my antec filler slots into on of the 5.25 bays for an extra vent, that actually did a lot of good...I may just cut a hole in the top for a vent fan, and find a 3x5.25 fan bay unit to stuff in her current case...you are getting my wheels turnin lol!

Good to see you got your G/F set up right man! Nice work!
