Computer Constructors
Hardware & Tech
For anyone who is, plans to or already has made a computer. Here you can share tips, info and the progress of your custom builds.
so i finally got the time to take a bunch of pictures of my computer and upload them here. (i woke up too early and though i should do something worthwhile {like edit and upload the pictures i gathered over the past few days} while everyone else is still sleeping) also sorry about some poor image quality...i'm not a good photographer:(
so the system specs:
16GB of DDR3 RAM Memoryexpress.com (i overclocked mine a little)
FX-8120 CPU overclocked to 4.5Ghz with all cores active.
HIS HD6870 GPU which has 1GB of GDDR5 (I need a new GPU!)
Crucial 128GB SSD Memoryexpress.com
750W PSU by corsair
Crosshair V Formula ROG motherboard Rog.asus.com (excellent for overclocking)
2TB 5400RPM seagate harddrive (yes i know thats slow but its mostly for storage, i have a SSD for speed)
Zalman CPU cooler Memoryexpress.com (my CPU rarely gets warmer than 50C underload, and idle its about 32 right now, just by comparison my motherboard is 33 atm)
the case is a zalman Z11 plus. Memoryexpress.com (its okay, the cooling is good, and the noise is bearable, i game in my corsair 1500 headset)
my keyboard is a terrible membrane keyboard that i hope to replace with a mechanical keyboard (probably from corsair), while my mouse is a Razer Lachesis 5600DPI. laser mice are SO much better then optical mice)
i hope i didn't miss anything, and if i did ask in the comments and hopefully i'll see it, and have an answer:D
Nice guts!...I love that Zalman ball cooler! if it wasn't over 40 bucks at newegg I'd grab one too! ^^
Also right on time...I'm about to put together my living room HTPC using salvage parts within the hour. Will post images later.
