Define R5 + Rebuild of old rig!

[tyrz_939]

This isn't anything fancy, just what I use daily for getting everything done! Having a quiet, reliable computer is most important to me. I will be needing a full upgrade probably next year some time.

 

Pics are from my phone, sorry if quality isn't the greatest!

 

 

 

Here is pretty much what it was like before. Under my computer is my old web server.

 

 

 

 

And before the new case came I was running it like this for about a week.

 

 

 

 

 

2500K at 4.5GHz

16GB ram

ASRock P67 Extreme 6

Radeon 7950

Xonar Essense STX

Modded Zalman CNPS 10X Extreme CPU cooler

720w CoolerMaster PSU

250GB Samsung 840 Evo

1TB Samsung SpinPoint F3

2GB WD Green

 

 

Building in progress:

 

 

 

Completed:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Server got a bit of an upgrade too! Still ancient hardware but oh well, It's reliable and what I had laying around.

It's running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard (My friend gave me a key because he can get it free from work).

I manage to run a Minecraft Server, LAMP Server, store Backup and Seed Torrents on it.

 

[Edit] Here is a link to the site I host in case anyone wonders: Link 

It's mostly for a game mod my friend and I made but I want to do more with it.[/Edit]

 

Specs:

Intel C2D E8400

4GB Corsair Dominator DDR2

128GB Crucial MX100

3TB WD Green (Backup Dumps/Torrents go here)

Radeon HD3450

Seasonic 350w 80+ Gold

Clean your expansion cards! Gosh! That dust!

I know, I don't have compressed air though. I don't really want to wipe them, that seems dangerous (static?). I hope this case means less dust build up.

Cool looking rig

Nice Rig, I like the revamp! Oh AsRock motherboards tho  :wacko:

Look into the Metro Duster on Amazon, its electric and save you a bunch of money instead of buying canned air! A tech must need !

Thanks!

 

The motherboard isn't the best looker but it seems solid. No issues in the 3.5 years it's been running other than it posting slow with my old Galaxy s3 plugged in.

I'm glad you're not using the IDE plugs for the drives, it makes me warm and fuzzy inside. My friend has a PC that uses IDE and the PSU has no proper sata plugs so i'm thinking about giving him my current one if i get a new power supply for Christmas.

 

Great build none the less though. But seriously clean that dust it hurts too.

It doesn't have any IDE ports. That's a legacy floppy port at the bottom.  :wacko:

 

I'll do something about the dust today and go over the cable management a little more! It can always be neater.  <_<

Wonderful.  B)

[tyrz_939]

It's looking better!

 

 

 

 

 

I'll include some benchmarks even though it's a 3.5 year old part. It still holds it's own today quite well.

 

 

 

CPU: 4.7GHz 1.39v (Ignore CPU-Z)

GPU: 1200/1575

I literally can't hear it next to me right now. I would call this a success.
