If you insist.
 

Yeah Microsoft live and the Rockstar social thing for GTA4 was ridiculous!

14 even though I'm 17.

I've been pulled over while driving because the police officer thought I was a little kid.

First of all, this isn't really a log. I just want to share my rig with this community and since the description to Build Logs was "Show off your rig" I assume this has to be the best category to post it in.
Anyways, this is my newest and current rig. I just finished it all a couple of weeks ago but unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures during the assembly of everything. What a bummer, eh?

I chose the name "The Excalibur" not only because it's a fucking awesome name but also because I tried to keep my rig as military themed as possible.
The military fights wars>The Excalibur is a legendary weapon used in war>Therefore the name fits. You know what I mean, right?.

Also, I will exchange the stock Corsair fans for Noctua fans whenever I get money to spare. They're expensive as hell where I live.


Specs:

Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth Z77
CPU: Intel Core i5 3570k
GPU: GTX 780 DC2
PSU: Antec High Current Gamer 620W 80+ Bronze
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB(2x4) (Only 4GB currently since one of my sticks broke )
Case: Corsair Vengeance C70 Military Green
Storage: Two random WD HDDs 640GB each
Cooling: Corsair H100i

Peripherals:

Mouse: Random crappy Logitech mouse. Will get upgraded soon.
Keyboard: Really old Zboard membrane keyboard. I completely love this keyboard and refuse to upgrade until it breaks completely.
Keypad: Razer Nostromo. Not used that often, too small for my hand.
Headset: Random Deltaco headset. Will also get upgraded soon.

Upgrade Plans:
Upgrading the harddrives to something like a 2TB WD Black and a 240GB SSD.
Buying a new modular PSU with sleeved cables.
Buying new RAM.
Exchanging the fans for NF-F12's.
Upgrading my mouse to a Steelseries Sensei.
Upgrading my headset to some good headset. I haven't decided which one yet.

I am terribly sorry for the horrible picture quality. I'm a poor student, I can't afford those fancy system camers. My iPhone camera will have to do for the moment.

The case. You probably already know how it looks like.


The guts. Looks military enough. Will hopefully look even better with Noctua fans. It's either going to look really cool or ugly as shit. That's the curse of Noctua's fans.


Random mini-closeup because why not?


The entire battlestation. Where I waste my precious hours of daylight.


From another angle.


That's basically all I got at the moment. If you've read it all the way to the end, you're a cool dude. I'd really appreciate it if you could leave a comment telling me what you think and if I there's something you think I should add to it.

Ciao!

7950 and a 1080p monitor

I don't mind them on forums. 
 
I win every time. I love those!

Hopefully there will be more sexy singles in my area if they integrated some form of advertisement.

People should just get a PC already.

waiting for someone to say slick... 

I am going to ask for money and I will probably get that and some kitchen stuff since I am planing on moving to my own place fairly soon.
I wouldn't say no to a cute girlfriend either. ;_;

Hey Everyone,
 
I made this video for my build log, but i thought id share it here as well, in case some of you have not seen it and wanted to find a quick and easy way to sleeve your cables.
 
Please let me know if there are any questions or concerns,
Leave comments as well !

 
 
And just because its funny:
The Girlfriend Perspective!

Come on an adventure   This is my first go at watercooling and I don't think I'm ever going back to using air! Here we have Bertha 2.0 (after getting bored with Bertha 1.0 of course). Composed of a modded prodigy with a shroud (obviously not an idea I saw watching SingularityComputers  :P ), 520mm of radiator and some cable sleeving. More below.


Cable Management in a Prodigy WITH tubes everywhere = worst thing ever. Must say, it wasn't a half bad job. I'm still going to have nightmares about it. Good thing I'm not posting a pic of behind the GPU!
 

A bit more detail on the parts:
 
Case parts:
Bitfenix prodigy (Modded front panel) + shroud (installed by yours truly) + Modded Power button + Hole in the bottom (to fit a radiator) All this done with a trusty dremel.
2 Corsair SP120 fans for intake and 2 NB fans up top for exhaust (Notice how the rings are nice and green)
Some Bitfenix presleeved extenders (Hate all you want, that took effort to manage in the back since these things gotta attach to the original cables)
 
PC parts:
CPU: 4770K
Mobo: ASUS Z87I-Deluxe (took a lot of patience to get one of these)
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance (Couldn't find the vengeance pro GOLD)
SSD: 128GB Samsung 840 PRO (wish I could get one of those evos)
HDD: 750GB WD Caviar black
GPU: EVGA GTX 780 (bow chicka wow wow)
PSU: Corsair AX860
 
Watercooling parts:
Resevoir: Swiftech micro res
Pump+CPU Block: Swiftech Apogee drive II (Believe me, you need to save as much space as possible in there)
GPU waterblock: EK titan something or other
Radiator(s): 240MM and 280MM black ice stealth (520 in a prodigy WOOT WOOT :D )
Fittings: Monsoon free center compression fittings (gold to match the mobo of course)
Tubing: Primochill advanced LRT Atomic UV green (I even used the included Sysprep, I'll keep this spot updated with any plasticizer issues I hope to not have) I also got 2 bitspower 90 degree fittings that I like to ignore
Coolent: Primochill Ice intensified (UV Brite Green)

The modding process in all its painful glory










 
**respect for anyone who can guess where the SSD and HDD are** just noticed that the pictures don't exactly showcase it hah
 
Sorry for the sloppy pictures  :( silly iphone why won't you take good low light pics

Wow interesting to see what will happen with this and windows phone 8.

If possible backup important files onto dropbox, external drive etc. then reinstall your OS

Careful not to post anything on this forum in case somebody reads it in 25 years when you can't use the internet if you are not wearing a seatbelt whilst sitting your office chair. 

Personally if you could afford it I would get a PS3 rather than an Xbox since it has Blu-Ray and free multilayer.
But im just going to wait for PC *Fingers Crossed* it wont be too long!

I don't think it is quite pay 2 win since you can get the "Battle packs" by just playing and not paying!

GTA V I loved SR3 but SR4 just seems like an awful game 

A new build has been completed! My client is a hardcore FSX pilot and wanted a PC that could handle 3 1920 x 1080 monitors with realism mods, HD textures, etc. His budget was $1600. So, I did my homework and studied up on FSX. Seems to be a very picky program. Anyways, hope you guys enjoy the video! I'm trying to make a name for myself on YouTube, so every bit of support you guys can give helps very much!   What I learned about FSX, in case any one cares. FSX favors nvidia cards ( something about AMD's drivers no longer increasing performance on older programs. FSX was released in 2006 ) FSX doesnt like SLI, ( seen no real evidence, but everything I've read seems to support this theory. Some people say SLI made their FSX run slower with SLI than on just one card alone. ) RAID causes FSX to become very fragmented across multiple drives, hindering load times drastically. FSX is a very CPU bound program, hence why I only went with a 770 instead of a 780.   Specs:   Case- Corsair Obsidian 350D Mobo- Asus gryphon z87 w/ armor kit ( sexy ;) ) CPU- Intel i5-4670k @ 3.4 ghz CPU Cooler- Cooler master Hyper 212 Evo RAM- 2 x 8gb 1600mhz Corsair Vengeance ( LP ) ( Client insisted on 16gb, even though I personally didnt see it necessary. But hey, makes for a more interesting build. ) GPU- EVGA GTX 770 SC w/ ACX cooling (also sexy!) w/ 4gb frame buffer to handle the multi-monitor setup PSU- Corsair TX750M (Yes, I'm a Corsair fanboy. Sponsor me? :wub: ) SSD- Adata 256gb Sata III (550mb/s read, 530mb/s write) Optical- LG Blu-Ray burner OS- WIndows 7 Pro ( I got Pro to accommodate for future ram upgrades as Home Premium only detects up to 16gb )
