Intel NUC mini PC on the back of my brother's monitor! :D



Has a 5th gen i3, 8GB RAM and my old 128GB Vertex 4. Very snappy little PC and so much smaller and faster than the old Core 2 Quad dinosaur he had before! ;)

But is it good for running games or doing CPU-intensive things?

It's literally a laptop with this 5th gen i3 in it. The CPU performance isn't bad but it won't be so good for games because there's no dedicated GPU. But all my brother does is watch videos and go on Facebook so it is plenty fast enough for him!

Also ive moved my sound card (not shown in pic) to the top Pci-e x1 slot above the Graphics card so my Graphics card runs at its full x16 bandwidth,Reason i had it there in the first place,The sound cards metal case touched the back of my old GTX 670s PCB. :cool:

Not got that issue now though as this new card has a backplate.

Plant a tree in it then we'll talk.

Geoff is right.

Looks really good, I'm impressed how much of it is modded from what you started with.

thank you very much. I was thinking for next maybe build a wall mount but im still deciding on that, either this one or the HTPC

Nearly done, just waiting for h110i gt which could be a month or so due to delays. Also quality isnt the greatest, camera isnt the best.



Looks really nice and tidy shane. curious as to why you have the cooler sideways though, distance between GPU maybe?

Wouldn't you if you had a machine like that? :p

I remember when I started here I was downright embarassed to post pictures of my machine due to a cheap case and my atrocious cable management skills. This was after I think 3 attempts at management.

Now we're here with several upgrades in between.

Despite performance not being directly affected, if you're passionate about the hobby beyond just having a computer that can play games, a quality case is a very good investment. Even this case is under 100 dollars now I think. The Challenger in the first picture was 40-50. Still a solid case though, just not the best for aesthetics.

Really nice darren! Loving that white case really clean. I used to have a white 500r before but went for the 750D. I still really like white cases i think they look more crisp and cleaner and seperate things better over black ones.

I was quite bad at cable management on my first case and it didnt really have that much room. I actually bent the door trying to force it on lol. Have learnt since then and tried to remove as much clutter as possible.

I also agree it becomes more than just something to play games on, regardless of price or components it becomes a passion and you take care of it :).
