The ultimate gaming rig.

No case for easy access and better cooling. Motherboard: some supermicro server board of ebay, for better stability. Dual quad core xeons, because modern gaming is all about dem cores right?

16GB memory - more dimms = better.

Custom heatsink mounting for better cooling.

HD 7750. Gives me 20-30 fps on most titles, for a more cinematic experience. Anything more is overkill.

High quality, custom 3D printed GPU mounting system.

750 watt gold rated modular power supply; not at all overkill.

I prefer Hard drives over SSDs - the longer loading screens give me time to contemplate the meaning of life. 

 

On a more serious note... this was my first PC, built a couple years ago when I was very short on cash. The PSU was leftover from a short stint of bitcoin mining (I almost broke even!). For about $350 usd all up, this was a good way for me to get into PC gaming, and for video editing it's actually fairly great.

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Here's hoping it lives up to the hype, I may actually go back to this rig (with a better GPU).

Fair. Been sitting on a shelf the last six months so I haven't bothered, but I know I should. Every time I see it I feel like a bad person.
