Looks good

Very nice!

i really like how that looks, sweet lighting... i actually have the same speakers and an xbox hooked up to my computer too, good stuff

Hi,

Very nice.. I like the looks of that LIAN LI case... I was thinking of getting one.. How did you like it?

System looks sweet man!

I like how you kept your case nice and clean how did u manage it?

I do like the case a lot, there is a lot of room,and its easy to access, the thumb screws are nice, no need for a screwdriver when opening. It does get somewhat hot in the case, there is a model just like the one i have only it uses 120mm fans instead of 80mm fans. As for me arranging the cables, i just rubber banded the cables together and shoved them in the 5.25 bay area. Then the wires that i couldn't push aside i just used electric tape and taped them down somewhere in the case where they couldn't be seen. The 2 front 80mm fans came with filters so it doesn't get dusty in the case as well. Im only 14 and this was my first computer iv built, and i was surprised how nicely it came out.

 

Is that ram you got dual channel or single channel. I thought you might want your ram in the 1 and 3 slots instead of the first two. I'm not sure how they do dual channel these days though.

Yeah you need to put the ram in the same colored slots to have it dual channel. So 1 and 3 for 2 sticks.

Other then that it looks real nice. Good job on the lighting and all. 

Very nice. I've got the same video card, and it does wonders. For now at least.

Ha,yea..i had trouble the first time i powered up the computer, i was reading the motherboard manual at school and realized i didn't have the ram in the right place, got home and changed it and everything worked fine. That picture was taken before i fixed it of course.

Ahh good deal then. I do really like your rig. If i had to rate it id give it an 8/10. Blue>Red for me. I would have chosen a different case. All in all it still looks superb though. I give you a 10 for a public rating the 8 was my personal. 

That's basically the machine I just bought (and am still waiting for the parts) except I got the 320MB 8800 GTS and a 74GB 10K Raptor HDD instead.  Hope you like everything.

Great build!

looks good, you need to overclock that cpu manually. it should do 3.2 easily. i use 8x400 on stock voltage on my e6600. i get 3.6 with 9x400 with 1.5vcore volts. i also have a e6420 running at 8x400 on 1.45vcore. i get over 11k on 3dmark06 with a evga 320mb superclock overclocked to 650/1900   good start to a nice pc.

Nothin' like a hardcore DIY upgrade. I stepped up three years ago from a Gateway 750 Select to an AMD Athlon FX 53 and got 90% of my rig right here @ Newegg (bless 'em). Still have the invoice. That's a sweet setup, tho. It looks very neat and professional.

 Here's mine....i built it a few months ago:

HD- 1--150GB 10,000RPM WD Raptor X,   2--500GB Sata3.0 Seagate FreeAgent Pro (eSATA), 3--300GB Maxtor One Touch II (USB)

Nicely done....Here's a cheap fix for the gaggle of wires you have under that desk. Go to a Lowe's or Home Depot style store and pick up a couple lengths of 1" grey foam pipe insulation. It's about 5 feet long and is slit down one side...very easy to slip the wires into. Viola! Neatly hidden wires that are easy to access, vacuum around, etc.

^ Thanks for the tip, im going to try that.
