Oh, I would love to have the excuse to buy another 4k monitor!!! But I am going to wait a little longer before I get one as I still do like having a 1440p monitor too.

I also don't like the way Windows 8.1 scales between the 2 different DPI monitors. Can't wait will Windows 10.

Nice setup! I'm liking the D610 with the 85mm f/1.4G on your desk btw! I fully approve! :)

I just followed you on Flickr, by the way. Nice pics!

I have a 24" Iiyama ProLite T2451MTS (1920x1080) and a 22" HP w2207h (1680x1050). They're on a stand similar to one posted in the setup above but the HP sits higher up. Different makes, sizes, resolutions and heights, you'd go nuts about that! :cool:

I'm with Beers on this one. I call it Internet-OCD.
My life became complete when I upgraded from 17" 1280x1024 and 21" 1680x1050 to 2x1080p 24" :)

The mess that is the other half of my case

Looks pretty new to me actually, within the last 2-5 years anyway. Those are custom sleeved cables, they're just dusty.

4 years old by now? The top fans are Gentle Typhoons painted with Tamiya desert tan. The cables are sleeved with MDPC-X sleeve. Here's the other side:

Upgraded my dad's PC for fathers day. The only thing he uses it for is internet browsing, so it has virtually no programs installed just win7 x64 ultimate OS.

G3258 CPU at 4.2ghz 1.16v
Gigabyte Z87m-D3H motherboard
2x2gb ddr3-1866 ram
Corsair force GT 120gb SSD
Crucial M4 SSD as backup drive (copied the OS image on it, then sits there unplugged)
Antec 400w PSU

CPU only hits 65c running prime95 (it's the stock cooler from my I7 with the copper core), everything opens instantly on this PC and it boots in 7 seconds shuts down in 4 seconds lol.

Yeah I didn't have the bridge installed in the picture, but the other SSD is mounted on the wall towards the front of the case by the 24pin power connector on the motherboard.

Not technically mine anymore. I built it with some of my own and a mutual friends spare parts. Only thing bought new is the GPU :)
Here's my friends new gaming PC:

8peiiyLE.png


  • AMD FX-8320 (Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO with Fractal Design Silent R1 pressure fan)
  • Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P
  • Kingston HyperX Fury 2x4GB 1866MHz
  • ASUS AMD R9 290 4GB DC2OC
  • Samsung 840 EVO 120GB
  • WD Green 1TB
  • Standard ODD with LightScribe :)
  • Corsair HX650W Gold Modular
  • Fractal Design Define R2 with non-standard fans
It's really really quiet, and max temps after 24 hours of simultaneous CPU and GPU stress testing are 43C/110F and 50C/122F.
Both front fans are running in a static 12v -> 7v (1400 and 1200RPM) while exhaust and CPU fan are automatic between 600-1200RPM.
Pair that with the PSU as exhaust (I estimate ~600-1200RPM as well), this case has near-perfect air pressure :)

Despite what my main build shows (see signature), I'm a bit of an AMD fanboy*. Being able to build this system and 'prove' that AMD is not made of lava was really great.
*logic/common sense/performance > fanboyism

Built a computer for my computer science teacher. First time I've used the Zalman Z11, pretty impressed with the case for the money!

Spec: ASUS M5A97 Rev 2.0, AMD FX-8150, 8GB (2x4) Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz (going 16GB soon), Samsung 850 EVO 250GB, couple of HDDs (320GB? Not sure), ATI HD 5670 1GB (probably upgrading to something like used 560 Ti soon), Corsair CX430M, Zalman Z11 Plus

What was quite nice was that he bought most of the parts off students and people in the IT dept at school and we taught him how to build it. Some of the parts (eg one of the fans in the top of the case, the GPU and HDDs) were from his old PC. It was a really nice student-teacher project.

He had some issues with BSODs and random freezes which I traced down to the RAM being CAS-9 but the board being set up in CAS-7. RAM is usually the first thing I look at when somebody says they're having lots of blue screens. I went into the BIOS and set the timings to 9-9-9-24 and the speed to DDR3-1600 and away it went, no issues. I remember having this exact problem years ago and it was Strangehold who helped me sort it out, so thanks to you I've helped my teacher out too! :good:

I felt that I did a decent job with the cable management but it probably could have been tidier at the bottom of the case near the PSU. Anyway, he's happy with it and it works with no blue screens now! :good:

(Note, it is pictured below with 2x2GB Kingston Hyper-X DIMMs, but it now has 2x4GB Corsair Vengeance DIMMs and will soon have another pair of those 4GB DIMMs).
