Description
Yep, here it is, I thought I'd take a pic before a new cooler went into it, as you can see, a 120mm would be a REALLY tight fit. which is also why I am considering a Loki...I know the Image isn't the best, but I've been lazy to buy a new camera, I might get my little sisters (her's is nicer >:L) when she gets a new camera. And I did this in natural light, so it probably didn't help any.
From what you can see, it isn't exactly the most "managed" computer, cable wise. I did do cable management, just comment you want to see cable management if you also want to see the cable management.
I already gave the specs on this PC, but not formally, so I am going to give them to you formally now:
Motherboard: MSi z68ma-g45 (b3)
Processor: Intel core i5 2500k Sandy Bridge
UPDATE; Cooler: Corsair h60 water cooler in push pull
memory: Patriot Gamer 2 8GB DDR3 at 1600MHz (had to enable "Xtreme Memory Profile" to use the standard)
Graphics: XFX ati radeon HD 4850 GPU (not crossfired)
Powersupply: Antec Neo 620W (non-modular)
Hard drive: SATA 3.0GBps (SATA II) Seagate Barracuda 1TB drive
Disc drive: Samsung (I think) DVD RW drive
Rosewill card reader
Computer case: Rosewill smart one gaming mid-tower
OS: Windows 7 Home premium x64
Wireless: Rosewill USB Wireless N 150MBps drive
Hec, thats it already? well, let me know what you think... later...

Did you upgrade the CPU cooler, I know when i overclocked my i5 up to 3.2Ghz from 2.67, it overheated with the stock cooler prett darn quick, and I'm not alking it got hot I mean the thing was around 99 degrees Celsius so i shut it off. XD But those little cooler still Function, I also see you are using a Micro ATX board, Altough I do respect those borads for their size I always buy Fullo ATX boards just becuase... and If you are on a snady bridge why aren't you using a sata III Hard drive? 0_0, Just kind of seems like the only reson I would buy one of those Z68's.
Case is huge and mighty, I like that! XD not really a 'Neat' Cable guy myself. All in all sweet looking Machine Dude!

Eh, SSDs are too expensive right now, I'll probably use an SSD for my next build though. And I usually try to go for deals, that M-atx motherboard was at a bargain price. and no, I don't think I'll replace the cooler until next month or so, though I am highly anticipating too... lol

Well, I find my Friends Corsair H50 Works Very Very well for LGA1156 Boards, Keeps his overclocked i5 very cool.

if you can, can you get an antec Kuhler h2o 920 and tell me how it does? I may buy one for future reference

Damn! That is one thick Radiator! Yeah, After I buy My i7 (LOL, I need 15 dollars) I will start Working on that, That is a very good looking cooler and shows promise for A solid Overclock.

neat, I've watched video reviews and it does look pretty promising

Very cool!
But, you should pay attention for cable management, since your casing is big enough.

I tried my best, but its not really easy, besides the fact that the 24-pin power adapter is too fat to go to the side panel. lol, but it looks better than it did lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My PSU also has big and fat cable, but after over 9 hours spent my time just for cable management (my casing wide is only 190mm!), finally my casing looks clean from cables.

yeah, teh cables you see on the bottom, I moved them so now they're virtually gone, but a wire still runs to them (to get the side fan running)

Oww, glad to hear that, I'll post my rig cable management too.
If you want more cleaner looking for cable management, use modular PSU.

naw its ok, I don't mind the cables, and to be honest, Cables hardly block air-flow, unless your using those PATA flat cables, then it could, but now with slimmer cables, it doesn't really.

VERY IMPRESSIVE! Did you build this yourself? I have an old desktop im considering rebuilding when it burns up.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
sure did, and when it burns up? it still does everything you want? cool lol

Its ancient, and the power suppply tends to lock up and the fan jams easily, but I'll salvage the parts that work and install new stuff in the case, I also want an old laptop to put the extra RAM in my laptop and keep the drive as an external, plus add extra USB/SD ports and anything else I can shove in something else, gotta love computers. xD

oh yeah, though if you saw my broken laptop pic, Im throwing that away sometime, nothing (except the RAM and the wireless card) is useful on it as it turns out lol, but let me know when you want to build a new PC, I can help with choosing motherboards lol.

Yeah too bad my grandfather died, He was a computer specialist, now I gotta find a computer repair kit, Best Buy wants 80 bucks to install 4 GB RAM into my computer when I can buy it and put it in myself, but of course SOMEONE stole my repair kit so im screwed, I literally went through everything to make my PC Faster. xD

You should look at rosewill products, they give you an array of products, including repair kits, I have a rosewill CPU repair kit

I bought it, it was my first PC and I never expected to be doing what I do with it now, but I have done some extensive Registry mods and programs to make it faster and more "Programmer Friendly" so next thing to do is to customize the Hardware, I do have pretty good specs on here though. ;D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thats good, though if your replacing a lot, why not just make a whole new computer? lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nothing really wrong with it, just increasing cappacities, i write all my programs to the most optimal byte by using simpler program languages when available, like using a compiled .bat file to do simple tasks over a longer drawn out C++ soure.

cool, but I see your making an OS (is this true?) you'd probably want to get a quad-core, or I bet you can get away with getting an i7 lol

Im bouncing, I am working with Registry hacks to modify Windows, so versus making one from scratch, im using Windows as a working base, replacing its programs with mine and making more efficiant things, Im also working on software for Nintendo Wii and DSi.

oh right, you mentioned this, sorry about that :L , but that should be facsinating
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It is, for one, everything is where you put it so if something goes wrong you can find the problem, two you dont have rediculous file names like zhdsuydzjskd.exe or something that looks like someone mashed the keyboard, and three it would be more efficiant and use less disk space than Windows.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
now that does sound cool
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I looked, here's some of the most irrelivant names:
XPS Viewer: xpsrchvw.exe
Backup Usernames and Passwords: credwiz.exe
Defrag: dfrgui.exe
About Windows: winver.exe
How anyone can fix this OS is beyond me, well in other words, there's a reason why they call it dope. xD

lol, for some reason it makes sense to me though O_o , I guess im just wierd then lol

I suppose some arent too bad, but I found a folder that says {bf7380fa-e3b4-4db2-af3e-9d8783a45bfc} who would come up with a name like that, I swear they just hit random alphanumericals.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
sorry for the long response, but now that I think about it, I think that its probably a registry error you found, lol

Or one of those things the government doesnt want us to know about.
