SCREAMING FAST Water-cooled "Storm-Trooper GAMING rig" - my latest build.

[AI James]

Crysis 2? DX11 patch is out . . .

i wanna get it but is it any good?

I want your pc >.> I was proud of mine till you came and posted yours xD. but anyways its alright, not my favorite game but damn with that DX11 patch shit looks amazing. If you haven't already I would buy Battlefield 3 that game looks so nice maxed out and is pretty fun.

Btw i just built my new pc last month and got that same motherboard.

My build:

i5 2500k @ 4.7Ghz on air cooling

16Gb DDR3 ram

Asus Sabertooth P67 (same as meades )

EVGA GTX 570 Superclocked

Coolermaster HAF X 942

Corsair 750W PSU

1tb hhd

320gb hdd

500gb external

looking to getting an SSD after I figure out what sub+amp to order at the end of this month xD.

Slapped my ASUS sticker that came with my mobo on the side window. Dont mind that white cord you see its hidden now.

What is with peeps and getting all 4 RAM slots filled with 4GB sticks? Please tell me you're running virtual machines or something with 16GB of RAM? And if you were, the 2500 would be a better option.

So many better things to toss money at (an SSD) than excess RAM. SMH...

ram is cheap enough that it really doesnt make sense not to get as much as you can.

trips me out how a computer can be outdated so fast. This thing is still holding its own a year later and i am still blown away by what it can do.......BUT, the shit that is out now shits all over it LOL

[Raptorman]

Yeah the industry sure does move along.. The newest gear is gonna get shit on anyways with Unreal Engine 4, shit looks ridiculous. Haha.

Nice pc Steve! Looks kinda familiar to mine

I re-arranged the top hdd bay to create some more airflow inside the case, since the original 200mm fans dont move a lot of air.

I decide to not use watercooling this time, my 2600K runs cool enough at 4.4Ghz with the Scythe mugen 3.

man i love how clean your tower is. Just beautiful looking. Same one i have too What is that on the front?

Anyway, mine is sitting right next to me right now, 15 months later (the one in the original post here) and it has never blue screened one time. Its the most reliable rig i have ever built. I also leave it on 24/7. The most rest it gets is when it falls asleep at night.

Anyway, Now, i am getting ready to build a new one http://www.stevemead...uild-smd-style/

i love this shit
