Show us more of that audio gear.

Sure!

Old pixel 3 hooked into a Loxji P20 hybrid tube amp. Bunch of Koss KPH30i's, PortaPro's and Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro's. Hifiman HE400i 2020 versions with some Aliexpress Hifiman knockoff headband.

For my computer:

Goes from Computer to Modius DAC, RCA's go to the SYS preamp/splitter that go to the Presonus 4.5"monitors. The other channel from the SYS goes to the tube preamp, which then goes to the SMSL SP200 amp. There's also balanced XLR's going from the Modius directly to the SMSL amp for XLR balanced out. The Atari is 3d printed with a Raspberry Pi in it.

Oh, I also have the 3.5" Presonus speakers at work and I can't recommend them enough for really good sounding smaller desktop speakers.

Wow! You sir are very serious about your sound! BTW, nice little mini-Atari 2600 there. RPi4 case?

It was for a Pi 3, but I just took a cutter to the back and made it work for a 4. It's been glued back together many times! I'd print a new one, but the printer is down... that's the next project I suppose. I also need to find another "atari" sticker for the front, it's missing half the insignia and it just says "ATAR" now lol.

Love me some Schiit too! Ive got their DACs at both my stations. Just upgraded my cables to locking RCAs with nice braided coverings. My setup is a bit simpler than yours, PC's optical>Schiit DAC>Yamaha Amp/SUB Amp>Klipsch RP500M Speakers/KEF subwoofer. Thinking of adding a Schiit EQ...

Time for an overhaul. Case was changed from the old Lancool PC-K65 to a probably equally old CM 690 III

GPU got upgraded from an R9 290 to a GTX 1070. Kinda wish the red parts were either black or blue though

Now with two Arctic P12's blowing cold air directly over the GPU

And Filters

Not fully done yet with this case though, there is still room on top to mount two Arctic F14s and on the bottom I can mount my old ML120 that's laying around. Just need a fan grille for it
Airflow go whoosh

To my eyes, the red looks better, but the white looks good too, if a bit bright.

xtreemchaos · Aug 7, 2022

+1 for the red "it matches my eyes after 5 hours in skyrim vr

" na i like red after black but black dont work on RBG unless someone knows better. good looking rigg bud well done.

So I did a thing. Newegg had the 11700k on sale, with two Asrock boards as a combo. Basically got the boards for free, lol. Anyway, upgraded my lab rig with the 11700k and an ASRock Steel Legend z590 from the previous 11400 and ASRock Pro4M Z590. Benching a OCing now. Hot chip. Still have to activate windows...

Well, I pulled my kids 5600X system out of the old Define R4 and into my old Meshify C. I have 2x 120x38 Panaflo’s and a TY-147B underneath it up front. Since this is on the main floor, it has to be quiet.. it should be.. haven’t turned it on yet but this used to be my system

Its a little more forgiving with cabling than Torrent C lol..

freeagent · Aug 14, 2022

Moar airflow!1

Works good even with all of the filters installed

Animalpak · Aug 17, 2022

New fan's !

Cooler Master MasterFan SF120M, with switchable speed range.

I'll let the pic do the talking but here's a starter for 10 I guess for the upgrade project......

My 'little' girl Isabelle is turning 10 in a few days, so time we taught and showed her to get everything installed properly......

And here's a bit of a project for me when I can get around to it... Among with all the rest... An 'upgrade' (possibly side grade??) for myself.....

Well, wonder how well this will all go........

At least Isabelle managed to get her PC tested this evening and that's all working... Now tomorrow will be getting it installed in her case and tested...... Best get to bed soon or I'll be trying to plug something in the wrong place!!

Feel free to pop into my project thread, I'll put a bit more detail in there

Loving the thread as always everyone, loving the hardware!!

SN2716057 · Aug 20, 2022

Congrats to Isabelle in a few days.

freeagent · Aug 21, 2022

I managed to squeeze a 140mm fan into the back of the case :rockout:

I tried with my TL-D14X but the newer impeller would collide under the squeeze. My TY-143 is squeezed in nicely and secured using the stock 120mm mounting location :cool:

If you need an airflow orientated case for a simple, high performance system.. this one is ridiculous :laugh:

Edit:

Added a couple of drives.. extra RGB would suck right now lol..

How my PC currently sits. Although I get a new case Friday to play around with

Stinger what's going on? Yeah man, one way or another was snooping around TPU was just focused on other things. But trying to get back into it man. Community here is second to none. Glad to see you still around!

khemist · Aug 25, 2022

After spending loads on cases over the years, maybe my new setup is no case at all, just some tabletop standoffs.

I will have to watch out with spilling drinks, might place it in my tv unit.

What is up my dude? So many of you peeps are still around. This is awesome. As you see I still fiddled and blew up computers all this time. Made a build thread if you wanna check it out. Not much of a build, but gave a bit more info on why I was gone.

Yraggul666 · Aug 31, 2022

HELL->o everyone!
Finally made time to post some better pics.
Last thing left to do now is put on 140mm Noctua Industrials on the D15; if those don't help with the cooling...nothing will.
I do suspect that nothing will help because the problem is not the cooler itself, it's the thermal transfer inside the cpu because of the added L3 cache but hey, this is my last try.
My chair also arrived a few weeks ago, i expect my frame rate and skill to go up tenfold with this one...

phill · Sep 2, 2022

Apologies for these pics taking so long to get uploaded... Here's some of the builds I've been working on with my girls and for me over the last week or so... I'll keep quiet and let the pics do the talking....

So Isabelle's rig up and running....

Then Sophia's.....

They've been getting into Plants Vs Zombies and Isabelle tried out Sim City as well.... And we had to do a bit of a Heaven 4 test run just to check the temps

Then the girl friends (Rosie's) rig -

Then I thought, I'll try something different for a change....

And here they are altogether.....

And here's a bit of an insight to my upgrade.... Meet the case the two girls fit into lol

And my 5950X to my 3970X....

Had to get that done today as it was driving me nuts and whilst I needed to get to bed, I had to put these up

The 3970X system needs a little more work done to it, cable management and configuring in Windows and setting up Steam and so on, but otherwise

Then the big problem, trying to fit them all in the damn PC room..... :laugh:

I'll do a bit more in depth run through in my project log but hope these are a good starter

I'll do a spec list as well whilst I remember!!
