Hello everyone, Here is a system that I originally built in March 2012. Today I gave it a little refresh and took some new pictures and a video. Asus Rampage IV Extreme Intel Core i7-3930K Nvidia GTX 580 SLI Crucial M4 256GB Seagate Barracuda 3TB RAID1 32GB G.Skill Ripjaws 2133MHz Eermax Platimax 1200W Asus Xonar Essence STX Corsair H100 Noctua NF-F12's Cooler Master HAF X LG HD DVD/Blu-ray ROM Asus VG278H 27" 3D 120Hz Monix Zibal 60 Black Razer Mamba 2012 Elite Logitech Z-5500 IMG_1070 by Andre Vautour, on Flickr I put the CM power supply shroud on mainly to tidy up the bottom of the case a bit and hide the massive amount of unsleeved cable that come on the stock cables.

IMG_1077 by Andre Vautour, on Flickr NF-F12's on the H100 IMG_1078 by Andre Vautour, on Flickr I really like the finish on the Platimax IMG_1079 by Andre Vautour, on Flickr IMG_1080 by Andre Vautour, on Flickr Here is a look at the front optical bay area with the luminescent strip lighting IMG_1081 by Andre Vautour, on Flickr You are supposed to be able to turn off the green lights on the Gigabyte GTX580 cards with the OC Guru software, but they never seem to stay off. I don't mind them though. IMG_1082 by Andre Vautour, on Flickr I really like the subtle soft glow that the mutant mods luminescent wires produce IMG_1084 by Andre Vautour, on Flickr IMG_1085 by Andre Vautour, on Flickr IMG_1086 by Andre Vautour, on Flickr IMG_1088 by Andre Vautour, on Flickr IMG_1089 by Andre Vautour, on Flickr IMG_1058 by Andre Vautour, on Flickr Some benchmarks: Cinebench (CPU at 5.0GHz) by Andre Vautour, on Flickr 5.0ghz by Andre Vautour, on Flickr Cinebench (CPU at 4.6GHz) by Andre Vautour, on Flickr Seagate Barracuda 3TB (RAID 1) by Andre Vautour, on Flickr 3DMark 11 (4.6 GHz) by Andre Vautour, on Flickr 3DMark Vantage (CPU at 4.9 GHz) (GPU 900mhz) by Andre Vautour, on Flickr 1113 931 1862 2109 5.0 by Andre Vautour, on Flickr

Here is a look at some of the software that is included with the MPower board.

Love those screwdrivers.

Great log

Workshop looks great!

Looking forward to seeing more

Thank you! A few more videos related to the build

I really like the look of the Palit jetstream cards. I wanted to get one myself but I couldn't find a reasonable way to get it shipped.

Nice build. I really like the RAVEN cases. Something about purple lighting I like too.

Love the idea. Looking forward to pictures.

Here is a look at the MPower software Here is the video on how I installed dual 120mm front fans in the 650D if anyone is interested.

looks great

Thanks for subscribing! Now sure if this is an actual thing or just a glitch but it doesn't seem to let me embed more than 2 videos in my comment below so here is the third 650D video it's how we fixed the sticky, stiff feel of the power button

Looking forward to this!

Thank you! If anyone else is wondering about the 120mm fans in the front I have a video about it here that shows it in more detail. I have no idea, maybe google it? is it an MSI board? maybe there is a setting for it somewhere.

I will have a look at all of those, Thanks! I knew I remember the Tiger Direct youtube guy from somewhere! I just never make the connection. I remember those Ultra PSUs -- we didn't exactly have the best luck with those. I will watch some more of his videos today. Tom is good, I'd like to see a bit more content from him.

Love Caselabs

I think high end air and good AIO coolers are both good options, both have some pros and cons. I'm curious to see how AIO coolers will evolve in the future.I think custom loops can be great if done well, but for me personally it hasn't really made sense yet to go that route. I got them at Lowes (in Toronto) I imagine Home Depot and places like that would have something similar as well. It's not really high res (just 1024x768 stretched) do you mean full screen? How does yours show up?

Nice!

This is absolutely awesome. I love the case! it's so minimal and nice. I wish Cooler Master still made stuff with this aesthetic :) The build itself is fantastic as well. I love that blue fan on the CPU cooler :p and the cables are so well done!

Ronsanut and Singularity I watch and enjoy Razethew0rld I haven't really gotten into. I will check out CTFxC, thanks :) Personally I like LavcoPriceTech quite a lot.

Looking forward to pictures

I love this so much! It is so clean and looks so good. I love the color scheme, case, everything. Great work.

Hello everyone, I am always looking to find some good new YouTube channels to look at and follow. If anywayone has a YouTube with tech or other types of videos I'd love it if you shared them here. Also, feel free to share your favorite tech channels as well. Here is a link to my channel (and it's in my signature).

300R looks good. I like the size of the window on those. Nice system :)
