PII 940 build officially done, pics inside!

[EQPlayer]

Just got done finalizing my desk setup... I never want to see another zip-tie in my life.

First off, the compy herself. 8)

Just ran Vantage for the first time... this is with the 3.6GHz overclock (I think my sig is out of date, I backed down a bit from the 3.8GHz overclock I was running earlier)

I'm downloading 3DMark06 right now... I'll run that once it's done.

Here's my obscene cable management job with my desk... I used most of the zip-ties I ordered from Newegg... I think there were 100 in the bag. 0.0

And a gratuitous kitteh pic... I think she likes sitting on the UPS because it's warm.

Eh, even I wouldn't give it a 9.9, hehe. The cable management job on my computer itself is pretty terrible.

3DMark06 results:

Gotta like those Klipsch 2.1s. They've kept me satisfied for many years now.

Nice.

 

[inglburt]

Looks good.


It's been so long since I've built a new system...

Yeah, I love them. I see no need whatsoever to move to a 5.1 system. I got them for like... $70 on eBay? Something like that.

EQPlayer, very nice. A question about the CPU cooler. Is it possible to rotate it so the exhaust blows directly to the case exhaust fan? I know that sometimes it is not, would be nice though. Nice rig.

 

[EQPlayer]

Nope, not possible on an AM2+ rig. Doesn't really matter though, in this position it's blowing directly up into the big top exhaust fan.

The problem he is looking at though is your pulling heated air from the video cards right onto your cpu, which is going to create a problem down the road.

Very nice setup. I like the glass desk.

Sadly that's just the way it goes with this motherboard. 8( The mounting points are arranged in a rectangle, not a square, so it can only go in one orientation.
