Trying to make something good of a bad situation... [very ghetto]

AMaleWhale

So this is my rig at the moment...

 

I have gathered all these parts over the years, and kindof ghetto rigged them all together, and it's been a giant mess. Now I'm trying to un-mess it, without buying any new parts or anything. This is not just my PC, but rather my entire rig and desk. Believe it or not, all of these things are connected in one way or another. :D

 

So here we go:

 

Case: Cooler master Elite 430 (don't buy this piece of crap)

CPU: AMD FX-6100 @ 4 Ghz

MOBO: ASUS M5A78L-MLX V2

PSU: Corsair CX 750M

GPU: Gigabyte R7970 Windforce @ 1.1 Ghz

RAM: 8 gigs of some random DDR3 I found at a local retailer...

Storage: 2x 500gb drives

Monitor: Samsung syncmaster T27B550

Auxiliary Display: EIZO FlexScan S1931

Cooling: Stock CPU cooler  ( :(), and a few blue glowing case fans

Keyboard: Logitech G105

Mouse: Logitech G700

Sound: Onboard audio powering a homemade 7.1 Home cinema system and my logitech G430's.

Laptop: Compaq 615

DDJ: Pioneer DDJ SB

Phone taking pictures: Samsung Galaxy S4 mini

 

So here the baby is:

Opened up:

Obligatory CPU image of the FX-6100:

Ripped everything out of the case to clean, refresh, redo cables yada yada yada:

Blurry, but not where you should look xD There is no cable management room on the back of this case, but I think I did a pretty good job there in the front bottom:

Started clearing my desk for obvious reasons...

Actually managed to sort of organize the cables under the desk with a few cable ties:

There she is! And yes I like the boxes :3

Don't hate please, the pictures are bad because I have no good camera, and the rest is bad because pretty much everything is purchased somewhere different at a different point in time :P But I managed to make it all wok, even though it's a bit "ghetto". But please enjoy and have a great day :)

It does. I don't have a job, so I don't have much money. But this summer I got a small job that will earn me some money, So I will upgrade the MOBO, CPU, and case, and watercool it all :D But that is for a later date...

 

Can't hate, Wall-E is involved.

Wall-E is always watching.

 

That's probably the best non cable-managed build I've seen to date. Nice job.

Thanks. I tried really hard and cut cables and stuff so yeah ;)

Looks good. Like someone mentioned before, you should look into getting a better case.

I had that case for a while, worst thing ever  :mellow:   Youd managed to do a very nice job with cable management considering there is literally no cable management space

And I thought my cable management in this case was good...

 

put your HDD in the bottom slot, and slab all your cables under there. Anything that goes up is behind the HDD cage, or like the CPU cable, it's actually kindof under the motherboard itself :P

Now that I look at it it looks a lot cleaner than I noticed, I guess you see a little more mess when it's next to you 12 hours/day ;)

Surprised at how much you managed to clean up.

May I ask how wide your desk is, because I'm buying a new one soon and this should give me some idea about what width I need.

Nice work, btw :)

Thanks ;D

 

It's about 3m wide, and I made it with pieces from various IKEA stuff, as that is pretty easy to find here in Sweden ;)

3m meters, thats the length of my room :o

I think I'll do fine with 1.5m :)
