    Re: The PC Gallery

    My kinda thread! (lol)
    Haven't got any decent open pics of my main rig, but here's a slightly old shot of my "toy room". I've since added a 3rd 24" monitor behind the drumkit on a stand for music reading as well as Logitech G27 racing wheel (with 6 speed shifter and clutch pedal). Not pictured to the left is also 3 electric guitars, 1 bass guitar, 1 Randall 120W guitar amp with 4x12 cab, 1 Hartke 350W Bass amp with 4x10 cab. In the back right is also a M-Audio 88 key midi keyboard.



    The rig itself:
    CPU: Intel i7 2600K
    Mobo: Asus P8P67-M Pro
    RAM: 16GB DDR3 G-Skill
    GPU: Gigabyte nVidia GTX670 overclocked
    HDD: 1x Corsair 120GB SSD + 1x Hitachi 7200rpm 2TB
    PSU: Corsair HX850
    Case: NZXT Vulcan mATX (has a carry handle...awesome)
    Sound: M-Audio Profire 610 (6 in/10 out) << this is actually a "pro" recording sound card. That runs into a Sony amp with 2 desktop monitors + Koss Studio headphones with mirrored output so I can swap between speakers and headphones without changing anything. Drums plugged in via Midi as well as running guitars + mics through it for recording.
    Screens: 2x BenQ 24" (one 2ms model for gaming, one VA panel for graphics work), 1x ASUS 24" as the new digital music stand (not pictured)
    Other Stuff: Logitech G510 keyboard, Logitech G13 keypad, Cyborg RAT7 mouse, Blu-ray combo
    Drums: Alesis DM10 Studio kit with Mapex double-kicks (not really computer related other than being plugged into my computer and using it for recording)

    Next up, new Media Room rig. Pics can be found on my XBMC build thread here. The thread is a bit light while I figure out some case logistics (with a hacksaw). This thing will handle general media playback as well as full 1080p gaming in the living room. Great for games like Assassin's Creed and Tomb Raider where being on the couch is so much better. Also gives mates something to talk about with a few beers and what have you.
    It contains:
    CPU: Intel i5 3550
    Mobo: ASRock Extreme4
    RAM: 8GB DDR3 G-Skill
    GPU: Gigabyte nVidia GTX580 overclocked
    HDD: 1x Hitachi 2TB
    PSU: Corsair HX750
    Case: Silverstone LC20B full size media case
    Screen: 50" LG Plasma
    Sound: Yamaha HDMI receiver with 5.1 speakers
    Other Stuff: Cheap Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse, Blu-ray drive, Media Center Remote, 2x Logitech F710 wireless game controllers (who needs a PS3/Xbox when you've got these?!)

    Finally, the NAS (no pics as it's a fairly uninteresting black box) :
    CPU: Intel i5 750
    RAM: 4GB DDR3 G-Skill
    Mobo: Mystery Intel mATX board
    GPU: Gigabyte nVidia GT430 (used to be the media PC until the behemoth above was built)
    HDD: 1x 500GB Seagate barracuda, 4x2TB Samsung in RAID5 (5.5TB usable, redundant space for media storage), 1x 2TB Hitachi 7200rpm eSATA drive for storing games images/applications
    Software: Linux (Ubuntu Server) with sabnzbd + sickbeard + couchpotato. These 3 words probably mean nothing to you, but my god if you download tv shows or movies you owe it to yourself to said words.
    Let me just say, that this software combo will automatically search for new episodes of TV shows I tell it, download them, name them, move them onto the media storage area, update the XBMC database with plot/characters/episode info and bring up a notification on the media PC that said episode is ready to watch. Movies are added through a web interface, then it does the rest. Additionally, it can alert you via growl notifications on your computers or via a twitter feed or even SMS if you hack it enough
    I don't even remember a time where I used to search for every, single, torrent....seems like the dark ages

    On top of those I've got my HP TM2 laptop/tablet (i5, 8GB ram, ATI graphics, not bad for a small convertible laptop). I also live with 2 other nerds, each having their own gaming desktops and laptops. Needless to say, we like our gadgets and our V8s

    Re: The PC Gallery

    Nice. Such a clean looking case! I use BitDefender. To be honest I don't really look into virus protection that much so I don't know how it compares. It seems to do the job at least Just did a search for "antivirus comparison" and clicked the first LINK. BitDefender is the top rated but it can be hard to tell if it's more of an ad than a comparison.

    Shot of what is usually seen of mine Built the desk myself only a few weeks ago. The only down side is that there's no side access to the PC with it plugged in, and I've gone pretty nuts on the cable management out the back so re-routing cables to get the PC running outside of the bay isn't the easiest

    Re: The PC Gallery

    Sort of OT. The other day I was checking out the temps others were seeing with the same CPU and H100 cooler and mine were about 10deg higher than most. I did a fresh prime95 run to test the max and got it to around 70degC. Not massive but still higher than most. Idling it was around 40degC. I pulled the water block off and reapplied the thermal paste using an old card, getting it so thin I was kind of concerned it wouldn't be enough. I gave it a shot anyway and dropped over 10degC at idle and max. Pretty stoked, but goes to show how fickle it can be getting the paste right.

    What many people don't understand, is that when it comes to thermal paste, less is more!

    Thermal paste is actually a terrible conductor of heat (when compared to aluminium or copper), but it is still better than air. The only reason it's used is it's impossible to create a perfect seal between the CPU and heatsink as small air pockets develop and that's where thermal paste fills the gaps.

    Even mayonnaise has been proven to work as a very good thermal paste alternative (seriously, it's even better than some commercial silver and ceramic based compounds), at least over the short term. That said, it would eventually cooks and god knows how funky your PC would smell
