Just installed a new SATA DVD burner, so cables are a lot less messy since getting rid of the large IDE cable. Now I just have one small IDE cable for my IDE HDD at the bottom. Might not look all that special but for anyone with an Antec 900 you'll know how tough cable management is in this case.



And my desk:

Nice rig! I'm jealous...

On a side not I love the signature quote as well! :up:

it took me 5 mins to realize that is not your ****ing wardrobe.

I thought it was a giant Antec case at first.

The blue light works pretty well for deception.

Damn thats a nice monitor! :up:

:eek: :runaway:

ASUS P5Q-E with Core 2 Quad 9300ES and two 2x1Gb Buffalo Firestix DDR2-800 kits, Zalman 600W PSU, Antec P182b Case, 4x300Gb 7200.9 Seagate SATA-II drives, Geforce 9800GTX and Xigmatek HDT-1283S mounted with S755/1366 mounting bracket. ATI Theater 650 PCI and a Yate Loon 120mm Slow speed fan added to the front upper drive chamber fan holder, and an IDE DVD-RW. Posted but not tested... :evil:

And I bet all that hardware is used just to play Starcraft... :hmm:

Nah, mostly just my media, web/ftp, left 4 dead, and hot spare servers.
It also holds my:
Main computer
A/V Reciever
DTS encoder
Cable modem
Wireless router
extra switch
Ethernet coupler patch panel
Print server
Printer
PS3
Xbox360
HD-DVD player

Only the front is full, still have plenty of shelves on the backside.

Here's some slightly updated pics of my rig. Things that are different are:

4 new scythe fans
2 added western digital caviar blacks in raid
285GTX
faced the dvd drive the right way :bleh:

Messy desk:


tower:


where all the mess went:


Best case I've ever owned, and I don't plan on ever buying another one. Unless of course some weird new tech that doesnt fit anything comes out or something.

what case is that?


Messy lol..

my basement is still in the process of being finished.. actually going to get some work done on it this weekend.. my area is just a thrown together mess with junk all over..

my 3yr old playing feeding frenzy on the 360.. :up:

The case is a Lian-Li PC-X500

And most of the mess was confined slightly off to the right and left of that picture. I thought I uploaded a different one.

I admire the clean cable routing. Man if I had the money Id buy that case, send you my parts, pay you to assemble it like yours, and pay shipping both ways.:drool:

Very nice job Perky. :drool:

Nice setup - was that prebuilt or did you just stick the OS sticker on the side?

I bought an OEM copy of Vista so I stuck it on there.

I have that same desk.

It's an awesome cheap desk huh?

That is a nice desk. I may have to pick one up for when I move into my apartment this fall. Where did you guys get it (I hate being a copy cat but yeah it is nice). :)

I got it at Wal-Mart. Came with a matching 3 shelf bookcase too. I think it was $50 or so. I'm looking for a link right now for you.

Edit-I also have this desk for the family computer. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...ct_id=11016187

Thanks for the links! I have an old, very heavy office desk from I want to say the late 80's so moving that will be a big no no, especially up 3 flights of stairs.

Caveboy Sr's setup: just upgraded his cooling, HD's and Gfx.
Old setup with Cooler Master HyperTX2, 2x250Gb 7200.10 and 2xXFX 8800GS 384Mb:

New setup with Xigmatek HDT-S1284, 2x400Gb 7200.10 and GTS250 Superclocked:

Heatsink means I'll have to be careful spec'ing out additional RAM. Sorry for the odd size pics, just a quickie upload and post.

The last picture looks like the computer is floating in mid air... :p

action shot, I threw it across the room and took a quick pic. Came out quite well, I thought... :D

I think it's about time I posed my setup. :bleh:

Question completely unrelated to your comp setup...

Is that an Ernie Ball John Petrucci Signature-6 on the wall?

Yep. :) I love it, I think it will be a really hard guitar to actually replace, if ever.
