Post A Pic Of Your Pc Here :)

64gb seems a bit small if you are running CC on it. Are you planning on adding any file sharing from your desktop so you can edit your desktop files from your couch?

Looks nice!

Yes I have Creative Cloud desktop app on here to sync files. Just gotta make sure I keep the file size of what I store in Creative Cloud down a bit because annoyingly I can't move the Creative Cloud sync folder off drive C:\ which also became a problem on my desktop too which has a 128GB SSD.

I've got about 26GB free which isn't too bad. Not installed Visual Studio 2013 yet though. That'll be another 8GB. I'm planning on buying a 64GB microSD card for some extra storage but probably not to install programs on.

When I get my microSD card I'll also put OneDrive for Business on here, set the sync location for a folder on the microSD card and use that sync files too. I have 11GB of files in OneDrive at the moment - most of that is stuff that was on Creative Cloud.

Okay so I stripped my desktop down and cleaned it. It turns out the GPU flexes a little because I seem to be missing a screw for the backplate support bracket. I bought it used off someone from [H], so he either missed a screw installing it, or it was missing from the factory. In any case, I just noticed it. Even though that PSU connector corner sagged, it doesn't put any strain on the PCI-e slot, as the rear securing brackets (though tool-less) secure it in place very well. I also re-routed the rear fan and heatsink cables, as well as zip tied some things (including the corner of the GPU).

Does this meet with master dtna's approval?

 

[87dtna]

Much better! Routing that fan cable under the pci cards looks way better.

The zip ties holding up the card looks pretty ghetto but I understand it's just temporary.

Atleast it's something to be proud of now

 

[voyagerfan99]

I didn't have any success finding a gpu support bracket. A lot of stuff I saw were people using pieces of wood, pencils, etc.

 

[87dtna]

Usually higher end cases will come with a support bracket, but I've never had a Lian Li case. I find that a lot, once a company makes a name for themselves they stop giving the add ons away. I prefer cooler master cases, I think they are great....and also the best bang for the buck.

BTW, there is one other thing you could do. Well two actually. I'll admit this is super nit picky, but having all the sata cables the same color would be best. Obviously black would be the ticket.

Then there's one other thing you could do. It's a trick I learned myself that I notice no one else really does. If you turn your hard drives around, you don't have to run all those cables in between the drives and see them. Gives that final polished off super clean look. Again, you're setup still looks clean now, but it's that extra mile thing that really tops it off.

 

[voyagerfan99]

I really like Lian-Li. I was originally looking at some stupid POS for this build then Geoff convinced me to look at Lian-Li. This is by far one of the best cases I've owned. Don't know what I'll go with next.


I turned the drive cage so it's like that, so that one won't be changing. Makes it easy if I need to pull a drive quickly.
As for the SATA cable colors, yeah that doesn't bother me

 

[87dtna]

I'll have to try one out one day, I've just always been pretty happy with cooler master.

Yeah I guess if you change drives often that certainly would be easier. You'd have to take the other side cover off to get to the connectors then. Usually the people I build PC's for don't ever take the side cover off anyway...they barely know how to press the button to open the optical drive lol.

Well like I said the colors is nit picky for sure, thats probably not something I would change either unless I was tearing the whole build down and starting over. Just something to think about for your next build, but for now it looks 100% better

Got myself a bunch of new hardware for Christmas.

Very tastefully done Ethan, it's gorgeous!

 

[linkin]

I hope you go racing in that chair

Where on earth have you been ScOuT? I still remember you kindly sending me that Asus motherboard

This is my PC at the moment, I decided to ditch the case (fans too noisy). Gave it to my old man.

 

[87dtna]

Looks like a 780 to me not a titan.

 

[linkin]

Definitely a Titan... I have the box and receipt to prove it

Ha...got side tracked for half decade. I fell off a mountain in Afghanistan and broke my hip and back. Got sent from Germany to Fort Benning where the Army made me retire

Finally got settled down and bought a house in Atlanta, been a wild ride the last couple years. Lots of changes happened. I still flip through Newegg and check the forum once in a while...still have that longing for all things computer related.

It's an addiction I will never get rid of

Very nice and clean looking Ethan :good:

linkin; I remember we had a member that always ran caseless. I don't remember who that was though.

Does your daughter still fold with my old 9600GSO?

 

[C4C]

Ethan!

Your build and setup looks like it's straight of a commercial! Amazing!

Scout.. What case fans are you running?! I love those red LEDs and I'm looking to replace my stock fans..

 

[ninjabubbles3]

Love Ethan's build! What cooler is that BTW? H100i?

Also, 87dtna, no need to be a dick, if he claims its a Titan, what reason do you have for not believing him

I think claiming you have a more robust card than you do is a much larger dick move than the person that calls them out on it. Maybe he really has a titan, maybe the lighting in the room is just screwing with the pic....but I'll tell you how I think it's a 780. The black plastic around where it says Geforce GTX, on a titan that plastic is more of a dark gray. On a 780 it's black, like what shows in the pic. It's a very subtle difference, usually you can tell just by looking unless like I said the lighting is poor. But to prove 100% which it is, I'd need to see a pic of the PCB on top. If he really has a Titan, he should be happy to prove me wrong and snap the pic...and I will admit I was wrong if he does.

Looks the same to me
