Hey guys, got this coolermaster tower for free off a friend because they didn't like it's design after purchase ( its just a cheap 50 doller one), so instead of letting the tower sit in its plastic I thought id use it with my main PC and here is the result, This is not my End result on my build just a step up from its old tower which was recycled, Look up poor mans build to see the old build.  Enjoy!

 

Specs are:  Intel I5 2500K @ 3.5 ghz , 8 Gig Ram @ 1866 mhz , AMD Saphire 7970 Dual- X @ 1125mhz / 1450 mhz

Do you not get terrible screen glare?

Nope its alot brighter in the photos, like it glows blue but not enough to be a distraction.

Only 3.5GHZ on a 2500K?

Its all I need no point in me putting it back to 4.2 ghz when I dont even use it. 3.5 is all I need.

Cable management could use some work.  Personally, I'm not a fan of the blue and green lights but that's just personal preference.  I tend to stick a color for lights and just stick with it or go for the UV.

Yeh gona do cables another day, this was a quick bang it in a tower before getting main tower, so i didnt really bother, but i might keep this tower for a little while to save some pennies, Ill post pics if i ever get around to doing the cables.

I have to agree with you, it looks kinda wierd but does keep the video card nice and cool, especialy with the noctua blowing from below as well.

Actually I haven't found any difference at all in temps with or without the side panel fan!

Loving the razor mouse, First time using razor product from being a huge logitech fan for years, and I am not disapointed at all. Build quality is solid, very comfortable, and the response is spot on.

Or maybe adding a 29 280x which would be a cheaper option. What do you guys think should i Upgrade entire system or buy the R9 and get another 2 years out of this one?
