Headset: Work in progress...

 

retired: Steelseries 7H Fnatic Edition - I think I'm the only person on Earth who like the 7Hs. Build quality issues with the original aside, they sound GREAT for gaming headphones, and I find them very comfortable. They also have a very solid microphone, so I use these whenever I need a mic. Other than that my go-to headphones are still my (now ancient) Sennheiser HD555s.

 

Could you get your hands on some Audio-Technica headsets? Especially the ATH-M50s are very populair? But maybe for you personally something higher end? ATH-A700x or ATH-A900x? I don't know the 900x but the 700x and M50s are amazing. Would love to see an unboxing and your take on these headphones.

NZXT Phantom windowed, Asus Z77 Sabertooth, Intel 2600K, Noctua NH-D14, EVGA 780 Classified, Crucial Ballistic Tactical, Crucial M4 128GB + Samsung 850 EVO, Corsair RM850, Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty Peripherals: Sennheiser HD598, FinalMouse Classic, SteelSeries Qck Heavy, Ducky Shine Zero (MX Brown), AOC G2460PF & Qnix QX2710

Build Log: Phantom - Antique Noctua

I second the ATH-M50s. Also Sennheiser HD 280 Pro are stellar headphones for ~$100. But be warned they are neutral in that they don't embellish the sound.

I am planning to add a network iSCSI device as a game drive soon so I can install my entire STEAM library. Some stuff doesn't fit on my SSD array. #FirstWorldProblem.

Did this become a thing?

stunningly beautiful linus. easily one of the best looking builds i've ever seen. that case and paint job is truly amazing. 

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only a GTX 1080, just a single 1080, where my glorious PC once stood....

For that is all I need, For the Emperor of Man, Jen-Hsun Huang, protects. We march for Nvidia, and we shall know no fear!

Linus, This is, honestly my favorite build. Everything that's "ghetto" about it, everything that's makeshift, everything you've done to the TJ-07, every fan, and piece of hardware in there, I am a huge fan of. This is the type of build I love owning. Yours is a bit more epic in cost and everything than mine, but my chassis is still very custom and overpaid for, I have two custom aluminum panels that were gifts to replace the plastic panels on the Fractal Design Arc Midi. Can't tell you how much I like this build, I think because the chassis was a gift from your wife is what really does it for me.

Awesome "final" rig update! Its always the sentimental value of parts in what makes a personal rig I think and I would have a hard time seeing you more to a different case ever really. Something I would recomend that I saw you could do is take the stickers off the Intel NIC's on your motherboard. Just a little easy cleanup, other then that it's really unique and a great looking build. 

 

I should probably go ahead and update my personal rig as well. I think I actually got the Gold Motherboard looking alright with a blue theme.

 

Great job!

Nope. Still haven't done it. Will do it at some point, but up until now I haven't needed to. I only have about 400GB on my system as it is right now.

Price isn't really the issue. I could call up Samsung tomorrow and ask them for a 1TB SSD and I could probably get one.

 

My solution performs better than any single drive can today... and I paid a lot of money for it, so I'm going to get my mileage out of it :P

Call it McDonald's 'cause I'm loving it.

 

It occurred to me when the temperature probe placement was mentioned that I would love to see a tutorial covering system temperature monitoring btw.
