You bought a Noctua fan but you cheaped out on PSU? Next level of faggotry.
>>52391039
The PSU was free
The Noctua cooler (with fan) cost me $25 shipped off ebay
Also, old Enermax PSUs were solid
Got a 3.16GHz Xeon for $26 shipped, adapted for LGA775, am running at 3.8GHz on 1600MHz FSB
case was free
MoBo with 8GB RAM was $60
Video card was $50
So yeah, its not even a $200 computer
>>52391140
Cool but I would still buy a quality PSU. Nothing fancy just 400W from a respectable manufacturer.
>>52390911
>>52391257
Bro, the Enermax is 485W and was top of the line when it was released
>>52391288
Well fine then. it's just I've never heard of this company before and it's name sounds like every other generic junk PSU manufacturer.

4790k and two 390's in crossfire.
was extremely powerful, but the 390's produced so much heat and put out a nasty ozone smell that would fill up my room. so i replaced them with a single 980 ti and upgraded to skylake since i was at it.
>>52391403
this one is my guts before my 4790k. it ran a beefy 8350 and a 280x.
>>52391354
I told myself I'd go micro or mini next time, but then I just rebuilt in a fuckhuge Enthoo Evolv ATX. I really like this build you've done.
>>52391599
Take one of the combs off the pci connectors and put it on the 24pin power near the grommet
>>52391599
thanks. yours look extremely nice as well.
funny, i've told myself the same since my 8350 lol.
last night i was looking at m-atx cases and motherboards to switch with my current rig

That's actually a good idea. I was thinking of just getting another 24pin comb.

I was going to ask how old you are, but then I remembered that Enermax are still making stuff today. I'm guessing your just new to computers. Give them a quick Google, you'll see they make quite a lot of stuff including a 1500W platinum rated PSU.

more fans = more noise
I would remove the 3 on top.
Is this this a fractal r5? they have really loud stock fans which come with the case, I would suggest you get yourself some new ones like from be quiet!

>>52392871
Also can't see too well, looks fine.
>>52392903
Maybe try to slide that SATA power down a little so it's a little more hidden? I'm not sure if it's possible but I feel like the top fan cables could be a little more hidden.
Looks pretty great as is though.

Just spend some time and undo all the wires, and carefully route them one at a time until you're done.
If you take your time it can come out really well without a ton of effort.
>>52393288
For someone using an air 240 your cable management isn't very good.
>>52393658
no i can't stop if you want to hide guts thread that's fine with me. : ^ )
>>52393871
Does my cable management trigger you?
>>52394046
noice
>>52394199
No, but it could be better.
I'd reduce the slack on the GPU cables and run the 24pin through the same grommet as the GPU power.
>>52391556
What the fuck is this?
I doubt you overclock enough to need the VRM on that mobo, the UD3H would've done you good.
Then you could've bought a decent modular PSU like the 660XP2.
>>52391354
Use that fuckin sata express boi.
>>52393871
No, it's 3 sticks. It's just that one of them is red and the other two are blue. I could have 16 in total but my radiator is in the way and I don't want to mess with that right now
>>52394245
How about for those gpus that are so heavy, they sag? Will this cable route be okay?
>>52394595
It shouldn't hurt anything, if that's what you're asking.
My GPU is reasonably heavy and I've got the power cables swept off to the front/ right of it with very little slack and no issues.

1600mhz, but somehow speccy reads it as that. Forget the reasoning behind it. Was in some speccy thread.
>>52394734
The monitors for it are awesome. 1080p is seriously good enough for me now. I spent $800 on them a few years ago for my old computer and they still are like brand new, so no reason to get something like 1440p or 4k right now.

>>52391599
Looks pretty neat but two fans in that configuration is weird to me. It would just increase noise without doing much about cooling is what I think, because the flow created by one of them is going to be choked by the other and if you push one harder the other is going to choke the other end. There is no escape for air in between either, can you confirm it actually improves?
>>52395105
wut
generally push/pull is a minor improvement, it does more for air cooling I think.
also it looks cooler
>>52395136
I'm thinking about the case when 2 series fans, each operating at same speed blowing through a tube from both ends, and the air flows at the same speed unless the tube is very long that the flow is disturbed somehow.
>>52394706

got some standoffs (female on both ends), screwed through existing cutouts. they were square, so I positioned MoBo and video card, then superglued it all in place. After the glue dried I removed MoBo and superglued that side. Basically it now has standoffs in the proper locations and ATX boards will go right in normally.
Everythings aligned well and the glue is all holding up so Im satisfied

you don't need to counter fans. also, if you have more exhaust flow than intake flow, which is your case, you'll have a negative pressure within the case, so dust will tend to get sucked through unfiltered holes/spaces/cracks in your case. if you have only filtered intake fans, you can cut down on dust, power consumption and noise. the positive pressure will then tend to push air out of those unfiltered holes, preventing dust from getting in. if temps get too high, then put one exhaust fan in the back.

What are your take on older soundcards?
Are they worth installing into systems?

Right now I'm using my backup computer because my big rig's motherboard is RMA'd. It's a bit messy since I had to fiddle with the hard drives and didn't have time to organize everything neatly. The case is okay for what it is, but it's poor for cable managing. And it isn't helped by the non-modular PSU.

Time for something a little different.

Most old Soundblasters are useless (at least in Windows) because Creative does not bother updating their drivers for newer OSes. It's a shame, because they sound great.
Even a great card like the SB Live!, that you can get from Thrift Shops or out of old Dells and Compaqs, just will not play nice with Win7 no matter what you do, especially the OEM cards.
There are some independent efforts to make these cards function with custom drivers, but they still have shit compatibility.

Though, it is pretty memey.
That holosticker is pretty hard to see/read; it's a doge with the words "such pass" and NTC on it.
>>52407536
And the memes don't end there folks, though at least this meme is old enough that it's sort of come back around the cool/lame curve, IMO.

How well will it run Crysis?
It is the only game I play, so it's my only experience with performance between computers.
>>52407569
:^)
but really, I'm biased because I'm related to one of the guys who founded the company, but I really do think it's a pretty cool piece of hardware, even if it's less disruptive than raspi was at the time.

Anyway.
Is that a soundcard on the 'chip like' thing with a Realtek logo?
>>52407644
>>52407603
I found it myself. WLAN+Bluetooth.
>>52407643
Can't see shit m8. Close blinds and use flash if you can't into natural light.
>>52407674
yep.
bluetooth+wifi is a pretty neat selling point for the price; I'm probably going to set mine up to control the shitty chinese bluetooth-controllable Hue knockoff I've got, maybe track the NYSE or weather or something like that.
>>52407643
I was going to comment that's a pretty nice case but then I noticed it's the same as mine, just yellow.
>>52407643
I don't think your top fan is needed with your cooler arrangement. I think your cable management is neat, but the one leading to your graphics card can deal without that little bend with the sheathing. Please avoid taking images with bright background sources of light to focus more on the internals of your pc. I like your psu cover.
>>52395002
I think you should turn those fans around so that their cables are not visible. A few of your cables are bundled and are a bit of a mess, but there are worse examples. Try running more of the cable through the back, that may help with length management.
>>52407550
I only see loss
>>52407508
You're a faggot if you think you need new drivers instead of the Windows's out-of-the-box ones. They sound great with the WDM driver. Windows or Linux.
>>52407799
This is what I was talking about.
>>52407834
Oh
That's not such a bad maymay I guess
>>52407860
Yeah, like I said, it's oldfag enough to not be as annoying as doge.
>>52407029
depends of the onboard chipset, some AC97s are decent, Realtek ones are getting better and better, on an old PC yeah it would make it.
>>52390911
Great assembly and recycled case, looks cool and is efficient use of money. Rest of the thread mostly fancy ricer shit, today's hardware is way too much about look.
>>52406495
Now that is/was a nice hardware.

Inspired by this thread, I went and did some cable management. I think it came out pretty good considering the case has virtually no support for cable management.
I think my next project is either to replace the case entirely or get rid of that lower HDD rack in order to provide better intake airflow.
What do you think, sempai?
>>52409047
Does the mobo tray not have any holes around it for cable management? Feel free to take out the hdd rack, as long as you don't have massive weights on the 5.25" bays above. Find a way to get rid of those loops you have coming from the PSU. Find a way to deal with the excess length instead of looping it wildly. If you can still hide things behind the mobo tray, there are those stick-on loops for cable management. At least you have sheathing for most of your cables. Front panel wiring should be easy to hide due to how thin the cable are. If you are going to take a picture, avoid obstructions like trays and racks so that more of the wire-consumed space and cable management options are visible.
If you're going for the DIY side of things, feel free to make slots on the mobo tray for wiring. If you are going for a new case, plan ahead and take down your current equipment and measurements. Measure twice, cut(or in this case, buy) once.
On that note, my package of 200 cable ties should be here tomorrow.
>>52409451
No, the motherboard has absolutely zil. It's also quite narrow so there's no hiding wiring behind the tray like it's possible to do with other cases. This one is bulging just a little because I had to hide the wiring behidn the small space behind the upper HDD rack.
I think the lower rack isn't a structural item, it has a few rivets and folded metal to keep it in place. Doable with some small grinding tool.
>>52409593
In that case, jam as many wires as you can into one of your 5.25" bays, between something solid, such as a cd drive and the top of the case. Should you do so, make sure you have everything that leads into it nice and tidy in a bunch. I think what you did to the rear wiring with the PSU is an appropriate and necessary measure for your case, but requires a bit more pushing in if you can.. Minimize the amount of areas with wires coming in and out of the mobo.
All the best for your cable management adventure, anon.
>>52405095
I like it a lot. Please post details. Is any of it custom? More pics?
>>52406852
does it take extended ATX motherboards?
im pretty poor. only thing i paid for was the PSU (bought brand new online). threw it in an old Compaq Presario Pentium 4 tower just for shits. The other insides are mostly from an old eMachine (Athlon II X2 220, 3 gigs of ram, hard drive and optical drive), and the video card as well came from the same one who gave me the eMachine, but it was in a half height case and couldn't use it. I'm in the process of upgrading it (GPU - Gigabyte R7 250, then 8 gigs of Ram, then CPU - Phenom II quadcore AM3). I'm on a budget, but i think i could make a bit of a potato masher. But right now, i'm a poorfag.
