Posted July 21, 2014 People like to rant about PSU orientation when it makes no difference in the end. One think I would suggest is painting/putting black tape over/sleeving the front panel audio wires I'd rather my power supply being supplied with filtered and relatively cool air.

Posted July 21, 2014 Author Curious about the lack of hard drives, you're running only SSDs on the back tray or something? Maybe 3.5 to 5.25 adapter and we can't see it from that pic? In any case, it looks clean but a little empty, perhaps a high end NIC or Raid card could help you? Oh and the orientation of the PSU is fine, it gets fresh and filtered air from the front intake anyway since the CPU cooler looks like it's running on exhaust directly out the back so there's really only what the ram and mobo could generate which is what, 0.5C or less? 4tb hdd in a 5.25 bay Seems like a good amount of money spend on a PC just for web browsing... unless the CPU is very low end... BUT it's your money, don't get me wrong. i5 4670k Why do I get the impression that you just took the GPU out before taking the picture, claiming not to have one? nope. the rig in my avi has sli 780's in it for gaming Corsair C70 Black Windowed | Asus Sabertooth Z87 | i7 4770k | Corsair H100i | Corsair Dominator Platinum 4x4GB 1866Mhz | SLI GTX 780 Classified | Corsair AX860 | Samsung EVO 250GB SSD | 2x2TB WD Green Corsair 350D Windowed | Asus Gryphon Z87 | i5 4670k | Corsair H75 | Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 2x4GB 1600Mhz | Corsair RM550 | Samsung EVO 250GB SSD | 4TB WD Green.

Posted July 21, 2014 I am sorry but computers can do a massive amount of thing beside surfing the web and playing games. Software development, web development, research (including executing CPU based simulations), video/movie editing with software that don't use the GPU (many), audio recording and editing, server application, and more. Doesn't mean that he doesn't play games, that he can't built a nice looking system. All that is true, but does that really require watercooling?

Posted July 21, 2014 I'd rather my power supply being supplied with filtered and relatively cool air. Assuming your case is properly dust filtered then the air inside your case is filtered and it isn't going to affect your PSU temperatures any more than restricting its airflow by pointing it at the ground will.

Posted July 22, 2014 Personally I like it. On a modern CPU and stuff you probably don't need a GPU for video rendering. I do remember on an old Acer PC I had that I took to slowly turn into this gaming rig I have now. (nothing from that Acer PC now and that PC is now entirely put back together in its stock config, just needed a starting point) It really benefited from me throwing a 550Ti in there, but it also had some low to mid range AM2 processor in there from like 2007. So since it's for general use, I don't see this as a problem. The PSU seems fine to me cause in all honesty, I like the look of fans. I don't know why, but I like the industrial look it can give. Anyone here watch Bill Nye the Science Guy when it was on TV? Remember that big industrial fan that was in the background sometimes? I don't know why, but I love the look of that sort of thing. I'm actually planning on getting an XFX PSU myself to replace my white one I got just because it was cheap but good at the time. Just because I like the design. And since this guy's getting plenty of airflow to his PSU from the front intake fans, not to mention it shouldn't be getting too hot anyway... it's fine.

Posted July 22, 2014 I know they do that. But he specifically said the only thing he does on that is web browing. You could say the same thing about people who buy expensive cars just to cruise around in a small town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 22, 2014 You should put a GPU in it.

Posted July 23, 2014 A GPU isn't only for gaming. It can benefit rendering in most 2d/3d content creation programs like those of the Abode suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 23, 2014 or that I should turn my PSU around. Just because you read it on the internet does not make it right. It's not a gaming rig, so why add a GPU? I know that feel, I got the same replies here when I posted my rig. It's a work rig where I use Illustrator and Indesign and PS. No, no, i dont need CUDA cores. (to those who will argue PS uses gpu accel, thats only for filters and some renders, and for web interfaces it hardly makes any difference) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 23, 2014 I hate when I spend so much money making my rig look awesome that I can't afford a GPU for it. joke... Grammar and spelling is not indicative of intelligence/knowledge.

Posted July 23, 2014 For what his rig is used for he probably could have spent much less and still had a nice looking rig. $1000+ for hardware he really didn't need.
