Computer Build w/ Pics

That's a lot of fans! Must draw a good bit of power and dissipate heat? Looks awesome though.

I meant that if that many fans are needed then there must be a substantial heat production that needs dissipated.


6 fans though. Wow.

His monitor is also his tv LOL. looks great though.

That's one sweet rig. High 7's on the WEI! Paul, six fans is pretty standard on these mid-high level cases. I have eight, plus a turbine blower that I can ramp up for high stress apps. These new super fast components generate a lot of heat, and the best thing you can do for their longevity is supply an air flow across them, and lots of it. Most of these cases are built in a 2-3 front (in) and 3-6 rear and/or side/top (out) config. Creates a wind tunnel straight through the case. This is why it is so important to make sure your case is somewhat air tight, and every unused slot is covered up.

NICE !

that is like a souped up car ...

Not bad. I would have probably invested in a better SSD but other than that it's not bad. Clean up those wires!

What can these decked out computers do that other ones can't?

must be very noisy with all the fans running

Sweet builds Rob. The SSD I bought at the time was one of the highest rated for its price... couple months later everything changes. I wish I woulda bought a larger one, but they're too expensive.


Doreen it does make noise that's forsure, but it doesn't really bother me. Well, at least this time of the year because I have a floor fan running at full speed 24/7 because it's so damn hot up here on the second floor.

I've never had more than a good stock computer and I've played some serious warcraft, starcraft, C&C etc without any problems. Not to mention playing poker online multi-tabling while playing music and stuff too. I guess these computers would just do all that more efficiently?

Lol @ serious warcraft, starcraft and C&C, just thought that was funny. Anyhow, the average computer can handle most RTS games with low to mid settings pretty easily BUT when you start improving quality for visuals frame rates suffer and eventually you're playing a game and getting only 5 FPS which would be terrible. For that you need a decent video card and even then sometimes it's not enough depending on settings used. Some people like to have a ton of things running too so you need more ram, a faster CPU or fast storage hardware if you move around a lot of data. I really don't think efficiency is the right term to describe what people want in most cases but it's the experience. Now if you use your machine for work then yea, efficiency is important because time is valuable in that case.

Paul, I disagree about them saying what phones can do. The clock speeds are there but in most cases smart phones are turds that you'd want to rely on only in a scenario you had no access to an actual PC. I've used a bunch of Smartphones although I don't own one and I'm definitely not impressed that's for sure. They often have huge delays and freeze ups, ugh. Despite that I would get one BUT I always break my phones so I use whatever outdated piece of junk that can take a beating.
