GP. Lionel - Finally bothering to post :)

[lionel]

Ok before I start getting shouted at !!

I work in IT so get some nice bits of kit for free at times in varying degrees of disrepair.

I have 3 children so have to be very careful about my budget.

Nvidia GTX 660Ti 3GB (£200)

AMD 1090t 3.7ghz (£150)

Sabertooth FX990 REV1.0 (with AMD chip)

16 GB - something ram (skill something or other) (with AMD chip)

250 GB Samsung 850 Evo (£107) - Late Xmas gift

monitors 2HP & 2 Acer (Free) (backlighting done myself)

G930 Headset (£78) - Early Xmas gift

random logitech keyboard (Free)

Rat3 Mouse (Gift)

Water Cooling (free) (holds 1.5 litres)

Cosmos Silent case (free)

The Chair although it does not look it, is the most comfortable chair I have ever used !! I suffer from back problems so will not be getting another chair as long as i can help it.

now for the pictures !!!

Ahh my lovely little corner

You really have no idea how freaking BIG this case is !!! im going to have to post my old case (full atx) to show how big it is !!

 Yeah .. Massive !!!!

So now for the Ghetto fixes and cludges I used to get free watercooling !

Double depth rad on top with fans above and below

 fans infront and behind for pre main Rad cooling

 Running it all up to the main tank (double depth something or other using x2 5.2" bays)

 I have no idea how old that waterblock is on the CPU, but it wouldnt suprise me if the plastic started crumbling upon touching it, (I have another block but cant afford all the fittings to switch the system over)

Now the Pump LOL

Cant remember where this pump came from, Yes that is multiple sized pipes shoved into another to switch sizes. sealed up nicely with some PVC glue I got lying about.

And finally my little Server room it looks sooo snug up there in the wall (yes i know my mistakes are not plastered in this picture !!)

Sorry for such a long post !!!

So much monies ;(Such PC such me sitting on pc for 400£

 

[lionel]

Well it's not much money for what I got though tbh.

Careful spending and patience are the key.

 

[Rossss]

Nice lionel

 

[Trurb]

What do you play beside altis since you have 4 screens?

Nice setup

 

[lionel]

I tend not to play many games simultaneously, but lately have been doing more so.

Love rts games, mainly c&c but also civ and soase.

Atm though i am currently playing arma3 & elite dangerous.

Large amount of game time was spent mainly on ut2k, bf2 bad company. Arma 2 and now arma 3.

then little bits dotted around with other games.

I suppose backlight should be in the list as well though.

And l4d and Css and OMG when I think about it alot of games belong on that list.......

Anything with a scifi theme is going to get my attention though. Altis life was my first introduction to roleplay gaming though, although there is the odd niggle I am enjoying the experience.

You will be alrite if a burglar tried to take that from you, say sure and as he goes too lift it his back will give out! 

 

[lionel]

I actually have a bad back and have to get my wife to help me lift it !!!!

 it is really heavy :/

 

[lionel]

O also I noticed some of you enjoy cable management,

Just finished rebuilding one of my sons computers.

This has been achieved with 0 new zipties !! I've ran out (the ones on the PSU were already present)

 

[William carter]

gotta work with what you have.

 

[Ray Slayerman]

I like that rocket background  :angry:

 

[lionel]

I love having 4 screens to display it on

Although saying that my 4th screen did die the other day so now i need to plug another one in, but don't have the time or effort.

 

[PeachMaster]

All i see is money. 

 

[Anonymous Orange]

LOVE. IT.

 

[George Papadopoulos]

Early xmas gift? It's January man, you can't get an earlier than that!

Nice setup though.

 

[lionel]

It was before Christmas either way very lucky !!

 

[Space]

WHAT. people actually have their OWN SERVER ROOMS!?

 

[lionel]

HAHA yeah, my wife is also skeptical of the whole idea, but has grown used to it

 

[Steven Seabass]

Snip:

This must be professional IT talk because I did not understand it!

Looks great Lionel.
