I've never understood people that play with massive screens and sit so close to them lol

 
I sit quite far back and can see things others can't.

I demand more exposure of the breaking bad poster!

& Glad to see I'm not the only "fool" to buy an Aurora! Unless that's just an imposter...

 
Pics incoming and not an imposter.

I assume that bell is being used, let's say once every... 2 minutes?  :lol:  

You know me too well.

[Ao Tokitaari]

Fuel i would recommend to get the fan either on the right or atleast on the up side.

That will massiveley decrease temps

Hmmm... So you basicly say: "Bitch! Get me food and clean my shit up!" Gonna try that

 

[Simpan]

Awesome girlfriends?

Well I hate it when it's messy I get stressed and annoyed by it so well I clean every now and then and keep it clean. Will soon take off every key on the keyboard and wipe it and blow it clean with compressed air.

This is my actual no shit set up.

Spoiler

Since son was born (he is now 7) my kit lives with me in a walk in wardrobe as there is nowhere else to store my shit. 

Spoiler

Just over a year ago my trusty Packard Bell I Extreme Pentium Quad core died. 

I traced it to another mother board & managed to get a replacement when it arrived I realized it would not fit in my original case so I bought a cheap case from Maplin.
I transplanted my system into said case & all was well in the world except this case kept bugging me it was tinny & loud so I bought a better one a Coolmaster Silencio 450

So began a series of upgrades which lead me to the system I have now in order of upgrade.

• Due to the Mobo upgrade I could now overclock my system but found a bottleneck in my graphics so after a selling a lot of stuff on ebay I raised enough cash to buy a HIS Radeon HD7950 with 3GB of ram.
  
• Realizing that my sparkly new Graphics card was in danger from my cheap PSU that came with the
• Maplin case I invested in a MOD X-Stream 600w modular PSU.
• After a couple of months I got to thinking that by solving one bottle neck I had created another the CPU was straining to keep up with what I was doing. So after some saving & a bit of research I upgraded to :-
• i5 3570K over clocked to 4.58 GHZ
• Gigabyte Z77-D3H Mobo
• 8GB DDR3 RAM (cant remember the exact make & model)
• Be Quiet! Shadow Rock Topflow SR1 CPU Cooler got this one as case space was limited & it helped cool the overclocked RAM
• The onboard sound was OK but I wanted something a bit better so installes an Asus Xonar DG 7.1 PCI Sound Card with built in Headphone Amp
• This case comes with 2x 180mm 2 speed intake fans at the bottom of the case & a 120mm exhaust fan up top.
• I upgraded the top fan to a PWN fan which is speed controlled based on CPU temp & also added 2x front mounted 120mm intake fan & another exhaust fan at back all PWN controlled.
• The result is a nice cool case which is surprisingly quiet under normal to moderate loads.
• Storage wise I started out with a 500GB SATA2 HDD I ripped from my original computer but the old bottleneck issue raised its head again with the HDD lagging behind the rest of my system, so at first i added an OCZ Agility 3 256GB SSD not top of the line but shit loads faster than my Old HDD
• Then recently I just added a Seagate 3TB Performance SATA 3 Hard Drive ST3000DM001 7200rpm with 64MB Cache .
• I also have a Seagate 1TB external drive & a Buffalo 2TB NAS drive.​

I added some bling & you can see the results below.

I am pretty proud of what I achieved especially seeing as a couple of years ago I did not have a clue & think I created something decent.
My next job is to tidy up the wiring & clean up the airflow & my ultimate goal is to continue to upgrade (RAM next) & keep my PC as up to date as my budget allows & without my Wife finding out.

How's the colouring on the 144hz Asus VG248QE? I'm getting it soon and I've heard I will have to tweak it a bit?

It's awesome when you get the settings right!
