Asus apple of my eye build

[cadaveca]

I give them away, unless i need to hold on to them for numbers updates(and then i get rid of them, although I am very purposefully holding onto quite a few for LN2 clocking). i'm doing reviews for the fun, not the money.

Ha, red/black boards are a hot commodity right now. you've got several on that list ahead of you!

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

There's a list?!

Dave has never offered me a board. I even bought his 870. I haz a sad.

Heh. Honestly, i try to give them to those that cannot afford such things.

And yes there is a lsit, and yes, you are on it. Don't ask how long it is.

i'd never be on it.... people think im rich. fact is i just worked my ass off to get the things i've had in the past. gonna have to keep on doing that it seems. the whole reason i didnt go SB on this build was because i had to do some craigslist trading to afford what i got. i sold a machine that had a dead mobo that was given to me.

i5 655k - CL for $100
maximus iii formula - here on tpu for $60
zt650 psu - newegg sale/used old gift certs to buy, out of pocket was $43 and i got $25 newegg card + $20 MIR from ocz
crucial 8gb ram kit - above gift card and rebate paid for ram
i had one case and got the second off CL for $50

for what i have in the whole thing i couldnt even get an 1155 cpu or mobo.



new ram today....

I'm a ASUS fan too.

That's awesome I always thought Reviews had to hold onto them.

I'm still using a ASUS P5q Pro LGA775, it takes over 40 sec. to boot past Bios screen.
nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

almost done... just have to make the front panel fan shroud as soon as i get some 140mm fans found. i need to finish wiring up the power switch and get a longer sata cable for the bottom drive.

the "brain" had to be put together outside the box then installed as a whole. was tough to do without scratching everything to death.

what you think?

Lookin' good, Fits.

 

[Delta6326]

That looks great!

A white DVD bezel instead of red would tie it all together...

But damn that is nice... Its like a much better lian li.

 

[brandonwh64]

Damn thats a great looking case but I must point out, isn't that GFX card sagging too much?

 

[Irony]

Very nice. I like the carbon fiber look.
