Show us your computer room!

$65 for the waterblock
~$100 for all the accessories (distilled water, tubing, fittings, fans)
$50 for the radiator. Got it used but in great condition.
$0 for the pump. Got it in a trade but the third-party top cost me $25.
$20 for the reservor
$25 for the NB waterblock

So in total, it cost me almost $300 to watercool my system.

But you can easily get 'cheaper' but high-quality kits for under $200.

 

After wading through 190-odd pages of pretty much every kind of setup one could imagine.....all I gotta say is wow. The one I still remember was from January/February....a wide shot of a guy's (ricapar?) basement with some old Apple's along with god knows how many others lined up against the back wall.

Here's my own hideaway




(Space on the left--by my alarm clock--will be the future home of my lappy & CM Notepal Infinite....printer used to sit there)




(Speakers make good printer stands :laugh

(Was watching Where Eagles Dare)


(Can only see a sliver of these in the very first pic)

-Monitor: 22" Samsung SyncMaster 906BW
-Case: NZXT Apollo
-Keyboard/Mouse: Logitech UltraX (to be replaced by Razer Lycosa)/Generic
Microsoft POS (to be replaced by MX518)
-Sound: Altec-Lansing 5.1 (Mod. 251)
-A/V: 42" Panasonic 720P Plasma/JVC HX-D77 All-in-One

 

Nice set up there! You have some sweet gadgets!

Cin

P.S. I like your speaker/printer stand setup! It's rather unique and pretty cool!

 

hehe....would stick my rig down on the floor there & put the printer up on top of the drawers, but I'm kinda paranoid about dust (is easier to clean out where it's at )

 

Yes, I understand...elevation..it's always a good thing! hee hee
Nah, it's cool!
Your movie framed print are nice too!

@ Huskerz85

I want that Wrath of Khan poster.

 

@ Huskerz85

you put your external hard drive on a subwoofer??
Did you know that a strong magnet can erase everything on your hard drive?

 

Perhaps that subwoofer is dead? And from the looks of it, that looks like a cheap Wal-Mart sub. The magnets in those things aren't strong at all.

 

It's a low end Altec Lansing setup that's about 5-6 years old + I've had the HD sitting there for months. If nothing's gone kaput now, I seriously doubt it will (though I'll stay more cautious about arranging things)

 

$200 eh i have to check that out how much of a temperature difference are you seeing?

 

Not sure exactly since I haven't been using an 'air' system in a while.

With my previous E8400 (C0 stepping) at 4GHz and 1.375V, it never got above 62C with IntelBurnTest.

That was with my 2x120 radiator.

Edit: Oh, and you can get a kit for as low as $129. Not bad in my opinion.

 

Thats a very nice kit for the price. If I wasn't in college Id grab something like that.

 

this thread is moving fast...nice!

 

^ I know, and I think it's great. Seeing all the different setups helps to envision my next arrangement

 

You can get some fantastic ideas on setups from this thread!

NBR's own Interior Design for Computer Room's thread! lol.

Ya, that's my kitten Cheerio.

 

You run GTX 260s in SLI for WoW?

lol...

 

Because obviously, that's all I play, right?

 

With the posters, obviously.

 

I like your room! Nice ~ and a good, clean setup!

OH..and your little Kitty Cheerio...Can I say *awwwwww* Cute kitty!

Cin

 

its what called over kill.

 

Whatttt!!! Dual GTX 260 for WOW!?!?

 

Guys dont be stupid.

He also plays Diablo.



l337.

 

hahahaha !

 

At least with the 260's, you're future proof for a while......(try GTA IV yet? lol )

With the all the heat coming from your setup....bet Cheerio stays nice N toasty there. Pretty nifty

 

Yeah lol future proof til January anyway. I'm jealous of the dual setup, I hate laptops -.- So lucky to have that GTX 260 setup, what do we have? 9600Ms? Ehh.

 

The setup will pretty much run any game coming out in the new year, so I'm happy with it. It wasn't that bad in the price department either, all things considered.

And yes, Diablo ftw. DIII was a blast, it will be a touch more GPU intensive than it's predecessor's. With SCII on the horizon as well, I should be good with blizzard games for a while. Heheh.

Fallout 3 also runs pretty nicely on it, have yet to notice any kind of dip on FPS at all. Crysis is a different story, but I can still pretty much max it out and have it still playable.

Thanks for all the comments guys, it is nice to raid and never have my DPS dip below 120, but yes, it is a touch overkill.

 

New setup now that I'm home from college.

 

Some of these setups make me realize how old my 5.1's really are lol

 

i'll post mine as soon as i..actually set it up. we moved b/c of Firestorm 2008

 

First gen-Eclipse! FTW!
