Dusk
First build in a decade. Aim was for gaming rig capable of 1440p/144Hz @ High Settings.
Was just going to upgrade core components (CPU, Mobo, GPU & RAM), but after doing this, it didn't seem right to keep my old (yet great, post-modified) case & an old desk from over 10 years ago. So plans changed, & the core upgrade turned into a full system/desk overhaul.
Performance was the main goal, but seeing many builds online, I took a liking to how certain use of RGB could turn the PC & desk into a cool (yet understated) featured area of the home.
For the record, I detest rainbow RGB. Watching many builders' channels on YouTube, I couldn't work out why so many used that cliche/messy lighting effect to promote their channel/rigs. I prefer subtle, ambient lighting myself.
The lighting theme for this setup was inspired by an accidental combination of two lights; the orange desk lamp + blue rear LED of the new monitor...The light purplish result made me think of a sunset, glowing over the late evening sky...
So as the build progressed, I wanted to focus on maintaining cooling performance whilst adding subtle RGB that reflected (sometimes literally) the above theme. Reflected as in the mini-theme between the mouse pad & keyboard - their lights are mirrored in both colour & fading effect from the point of 'collision', which ended up being a nice touch, complimenting the Orange/Blue/Violet theme across the desk, in the background & into the case.
I work with cables most days, so that aspect of the build wasn't neglected either - I try to keep cable ties to a minimum as I love my Velcro ties (felt side in, so as to not grate away at paracord & to make them easier to slide along cables to perfect spacing).
Very happy with performance-noise ratio. It's Winter here: 10 degree (Celsius) day. With the heater on (~17-20 degrees inside), CPU's Idly sitting at 32, GPU Edge/Hotspot at 32/34 respectively, & at 33dB. Under load, CPU is 68, GPU Edge/Hot Spot are 78/90, at 43dB.

i7 5930k + Asus "Strix" gtx 970 SLI
This is my first complete pc build, so I was very excited do it. I set my budget, and was lucky enough to have the means to set a high budget, so I spared almost no expense (for MY* ideal setup, suited for design work and game time leisure.)
First, I knew that I wanted to go with an i7 hex core cpu, but explored my options and opted for the latest gen Haswell-e chip, the 5930k, for its added pci-e lanes. I'd rather have them and not need them, than need them and not have the option. .
I then went with my only choice at motherboard, that being, the Asus Rampage V extreme. Also, really liked the bang for your buck performance of the gtx 970 in sli, so I opted for dual Asus Strix cards, despite the memory debacle. Rounded it out with dual high-performance SSD's (960GB total), 32GB's of 2400 Mhz DDR4 RAM from Ballistix "Sport" line, a Raijintek AIO CPU cooler- that I personally love everything about (great temps, solid, and the aesthetics). It wont go past 50C when stressed, runs 27-30C at idle/ light work. If you want to see the rest of the build, check it out below. Leave a comment if you liked it, leave one if you didn't, let me know why.
The included screenshots are Tomb Raider @ 3840x2160 in Ultra, only setting not enabled is AA, averaging about 50fps, stock speeds on CPU/GPU. I just set her up this week, making sure that she runs smooth, and having no issues before I start to boost the performance.
Thanks for looking,

A True Classic
This is an album on my first ever pc as a kid which i used to play Quake and Doom on and it is getting a rebuild as my friend spilled curry all over the motherboard, cpu and video card when we were having a serial link lan playing games together haha. i have found none of these machines in my life before and the machine has a few rare components in it so i have to make it last. The Adaptec Scsi card had a huge!!! cut out if it because the cpu is in the way so i soldered a couple of wire jumpers in to make the card work again for that missing chunk of pcb. Now the Ram sockets are only holding by one latch so they are bending in a curve from the stress lol! so i have to de-solder both of them and replace them with some metal tagged ones. There is also a trident video card, Dx33mhz 486 cpu and a Diamond sound card as they were backup parts. The specs will be put below.
Manufacture: Dell
Model Name: 210
Cpu: Intel Pentium Overdrive 83mhz (oc)-100mhz all 256k cache chips.
Motherboard: Intel Classic R Socket 2-3
Pretty surprising that a motherboard from 1992-3 has support for the overdrive and has all solid cap capacitors and motherboard manufactures boast about that now?
Ram: 2x 16mb 72pin Fpm simm max 32mb
Hdd: Fujitsu 2.6gb ide
Video Card: 16bit Isa Number Nine GXE32 2mb S3 928
Sound Card: 16Bit Isa Sound Blaster pro 2 ct1600 8bit upgrading to a 16bit SB32 CT3670 With AWE
Scsi: Adaptec 16bit isa Scsi card for iomega zip/Ditto
CD Rom: 12x speed
3.5" Floppy
Chipset: VLSI
And 1 blue led fan for a luagh :)
There could have been another few items lol a casio keyboard for my midi a mountain of floppy disks and a thrustmaster top gun joystick for ef2k or known as tfx
All images were taken by a floppy driver camera :)
