My Amd build ,

[kosoku]

Ps Linus said he dint like the Lanboy and it was overrated so here is my Tonka toy!

 

My build from a few years ago ,

Has not changed in a little while lack of fun's 

 

When you are into 3000$ into your build and have no limit or setprice it can get costly ,

 

Future list ,

nzxt ' 3.0 card reader  (No onboard usb 3.0 on my Formula iv)

Better cooling Cpu  Replace V8 cooler master , possible liquid cool

Crossfire it !

Upgrade Faster ram mobo with newer asus model , more ram  

Better fan management cooling, fan controllers ,

 

maybe if I get to it or get the courage or skills to get rid of the mesh and make some custom plexi ,


Was going to go with a v10 cooler but was just not sure about room issues with few items so went with the v8

There might be some Other misc items added as i find the need for other items ,

Took a little bit of time and re doing some items and changing up things around
as i made the build

Few spacing issues inquired With the rig and v8
as expected

original plan Top Mounted power supply + side panel and fans = NO
Had to re change the Psu to the bottom now i have the stock side fans being able to cool near my video card ,

Top Fans i had originally planed might not even fit for the top vent's might have to look into slim profile fans now

Now a couple hours of Doing some nice wire management , it looks clean for now but i am not about done on the rig and misc other items might come in

Now some pictures :0
Look Close to the cooler and side panel / space

 

 

 

 

Time for a rebuild v.2 of the pc

[Youbetternot]

Meh I prefer a 7990, but other then that LIGHTING LOOKING

[crunzaty]

That case without a yellow motherboard

 

But good luck with the build, i will take a look at a later time

I never liked the Lanboy, but it actually looks okay here. Nice machine, would probably whoop mine's ass graphically (that is, until I get that GTX 770 Windforce.) Mmmm, now that's one sexy cooler.

I like this redness

[TheSLSAMG]

I like this redness

So thick! And it has a knob. Button? Is it a BIOS switch?

[JAKEBAB]

i like the look of the 5000 series cards and the 6000s were ok too but i hate the look of the 7000 series

[kosoku]

Red themed looks sweet , and my tower has con's and pro's like any other ,  I have seen some pretty sweet builds or customization of the tower I am just not so skilled to attempt some of those ideas like plexi

 

Keep in mind this was build back in 2011, they did not have the newer video cards haha

It's still pretty kickass and fast

 

It has never had a issue since I build it other then a junk ocz SSD that I needed to replace,

 

Agree on the newer cards look they look horrible ,

also there is now like 20 thumb screws on the front panel lol

It's the overclock button. It'll put it in its boost setting, which may be a BIOS switch.

[_ASSASSIN_]

lol, back when sapphire had printing on graphics cards
so glad they don't do that anymore

[ddostella]

So I was looking at your build here(whice looks lovely) and I was wondering the cost of your GPU, so I googled it and heres what I came up with...

Just take a look at this, and please tell me you didnt pay that much

[squirrl]

Yeah 1100T! The best AMD CPU

[kosoku]

Quality was not expended when I built it ,  gpu if I recall in the 450 range id have to really dig out receipt , total end cost was in the 3000$ range when I stopped building it

1100T is sweet , I am thinking  seriously of a white theme /change up the yellow plasti dip seems like a nice trend right now , or maybe vinyl it
