General DiscussionBoredom + no internet = PC Build progress shots.

seems like nice clean room + would +rep for mx518 #where is reputation system?!!!!

I have re-bought the MX518 for like 6 years now. Best mouse EU. 3 bedroom house and only use 2 so turned the 3rd into a gaming room which for obvious reasons (it's mine) I keep it clean.

Your hand turns me on Keepo

Nice System, but why keep the boxed? Also the case seems a bit "small". With the Bitfenix fans it still should be cool and quite, but I wonder why you have not chosen a bigger case. For 30 euro more you could get this one: http://www.amazon.de/NANOXIA-Silence-schwarz-Gehaeuse-Tower/dp/B008J1I0I6. Rly recommend it. Its quite, has the option to mount a 200 MM fan on top.

For a Mouse I recommend the Logitech G 600! The 12 keys seem a little odd. I wanted to sent it back after 1 week, but now im used to it and its great! Every itemslot is just bound to mouse. Also its nice for bigger hands.

hate that case. Reminds me of those cheap imac imations back in the early 2000s. For a 780 u need a decent FULL tower case like 750D or 900D or anything of those cosmos looking big rigs. ITX boards just means 0 upgradbility, not to mention Intel where every chip upgrade means new cpu & mobo.

Boxed?

It is an ITX system which is meant to be small due to the large monitor I have I prefer ITX/m-ATX cases.

I only buy silverstone and bitfenix cases, I don't like flashy shit I am into the brushed metal cases.

The case i mentioned is not flashy at all. It is designed for quite pc's and on the same time its really cool.

http://www.nanoxia-world.com/product/1/1/Deep+Silence+1. Its brushed metal, has some ok cableplacment, its isolated to be quite, delivered with nice fans, 2 fan controls etc.

if you prefer itx this case is nothing for you. Since i have the case under the table its no problem at all for me. With boxed i meant the standard cpu fan.

I lol'd at those "FOR DUMMIES" books :D

ur life is dope

i sell a gtx 660 new if u want

Pff, your mouse pad costs more then mine whole PC.

box looks crowded >.<

I was forced by circumstance at work to use excel and wanted to learn VBA. (VBA2EZ) The Java one I have had for years but hate throwing away books and lacking a shelf at the moment I have them stacked around me.

I really want like a wall shelf but it can be quite costly to get a carpenter to build one here in the UK.

Example.

@potatoebracket

The last big case I had was the TJ09 which was back when I though you had to overclock and overcool everything. Now I couldn't give two shits about any of that. Though I was considering something like http://www.vortez.net/articles_pages/corsair_hydro_series_h75_review,1.html for my CPU but maybe at a later date.

TJ09 Silverstone.

How de fuq you know so much about computers and stuff

Reading, Work experience (you can learn a lot just by listening), University, Microsoft Certification etc.

Seriously tryout https://www.coursera.org/ I learnt python and assembly from that site also http://www.microsoftvirtualacademy.com/ for all the microsoft stuff.

Want to learn the basics of how websites and webapps are done start with something small like http://www.microsoftvirtualacademy.com/training-courses/html5-css3-fundamentals-development-for-absolute-beginners#?fbid=03YAuuFShp7

The python course https://www.coursera.org/course/interactivepython super easy to follow and learn from and they chase you for results like a really university so it really gives you the push you need to finish the course.

^ amaizing shit ty for links \o/

Antec illusion 300 baby. Love those blue leds.

I'm not so much into overclocking and stuff. I just want a quite and "cool" pc. Cool, because back in times some parts of my old system died before they should. Quite, because I have to work on my pc, and loud stuff is just annoying. I'm no fan of slim watercooling systems. They are noisier than normal fans and do not offer a better coolingperformance. But your atx case is maybe too small for a big cpu fan.

The only game I play is Dota 2, so no need for buying new hardware every year.

I like how the cables are properly setup in that case, what similar one would you suggest if for a much bigger tower?
i dont mind spending as long as is well made.
Personally i dont need any liquid cooling, but just proper composition for cables etc.

Wish i had money.

But i live in spain.

@Yoshi Assuming ATX motherboard I would look into a midi case as they are smaller than E-ATx or XL-ATX but still hold all the same stuff.

Some options.

Weird but nice http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-143-CS&groupid=2362&catid=1489

Shame you can't do m-atx cause look at this beauty
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-147-BX&groupid=2362&catid=1850

Anything from lian-li or Silverstone (such beauty)

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=2362&catid=187

Bitfenix make among the best designed (layout) PC cases I have seen along with Silverstone. Antec are a cheaper option that make above average cases.

Considering buying this now .... http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-642-LL&groupid=2362&catid=187

Should've gone for something like Gigabyte or Sapphire on the graphics card tbh. Either than that, nice build c:

really nice build. never knew that mini itx build can also be a performance machine, instead of HTPC. XD .

If I had a choice of a graphics card maker it would always hands down be MSI or Zotac.

MSI's Frozn Coolers are simply the bomb, and Zotac stock OC their cards so they are always just that little bit better than the competition.

Sapphire make ATI cards which I would never touch now. Shame, I was such an ATI fan boy till just after the x1800 series then from there they were just shit. Same with AMD which is no surprise cause they bought ATI out and just brought them out.

Legendary cards:

ATI - Good till about 2008
9700 Pro
x800xt
x1800xt

Nvidia - Good from 2008 on

8800 series (what a winning series, totally blew ATI out of the water and they have never been able to quite catch up)
GTX280
GTX570

Sadly, most of the cards from both companies show little improvement on performance even when changing a whole series. Mostly just a lower nano version of previous series with some dual GPU card that cost way more money than given performance.

Nice small ATX form factor case, very condensed with plenty of airflow.

Agreed on the ATI VS Nvidia cards. Best one is the EVGA Nvidia mfg. Some additional cost, but a lifetime warranty is worth it if your card goes out. I even overclocked my old 3x 275 GTX's when I used to play BF3 and didn't even flinch at replacing one of them. Heat related issue on the ram board, and I didn't have a pipe of liquid coolant going to the ram on my video cards. Didn't overclock after that and my 2x gtx 580's do fine.... Not that a nvidia 9800 1x wouldn't run this game lol.

Even with all the Dota2 still managed to squeeze 500+ hours into BF3 http://bf3stats.com/stats_pc/Samb0b

Bad Company and BF4 are more my game now.

thanks for the imput havoc, ill check them right away :)

Personally, my graphics card have to be Gigabyte. On the high end cards (ie. 680/780, 7950/R9 280X) they stick 3 fans on it. Gotta love the cooling from that. This is my first AMD Graphics card as I decided to buy it in the advent of Mantle; with mantle enable games, a mid end AMD card could get the same FPS as a high end Nvidia.
