Bought a New Gadget, Gizmo or PC Hardware and Want to Share? Show it Off Here! - Page 226

So heres the deal.

I had a 2407wfp originally for about 3 years - and it was great. I wanted to upgrade to a 30 inch though, and finally after looking for ages, picked up a good deal on a 3008wfp last month.

Had the 2407wfp running next to it - then i thought wouldn't it be great to have 2xdell 4:3 20 inchers on either side of the 30 to match the vertical height - i picked up another good deal on 2x 20 inch S-IPS panels.

Then with all that running and the 24 inch on the ground un-used, i had another idea.

I think i've gone overboard - but it is oh so impressive - i love it.

next steps
1) get a triple LCD mount (perhaps proluma group buy)
2) mount the 24 inch on the wall (its currently on a big box)
3) If eyefinity ever supports PLP setups - get it !

Setup: 2xDell 2007fpb S-IPS panels 4:3 rotated in portrait + 1x3008wfp + 1xDell2407wfp

Tri - Before color calibration (all 4 monitors are now color calibrated and match - need to slightly adjust the height so horizonal pixels are perfect)

I was lucky because PC Case Gear said the e760 Classfied has a worldwide shortage at the moment. I rang Centrecom and they didn't have one either so I rang a few other shops and no one has it in stock and then suddenly Scorptec popped into my head lol....went to their site and the e760 classified was there but only some stores. So I got them to hold it. Had to take an hour drive just to go pick it up. I got the last one w00t!.

Now I shall get my CPU next week and Dominators GT 2000.....Next week is gonna go sloooooooooow!

Ooooh right! Picked all that up on Tuesday. Finished building on Wed (danm work) just doing some final fiddling now. VERY VERY happy with it!

Specs in sig.

Temps seem fine - <50' on load. But I'd like to add another fan on the top where the space for the rads are for exhaust since the H50 turns the exhaust into an intake...

Nice work mate! add another fan to the H50 and it will be kick ass!

Well, i couldn't bloody help myself, had a spare $495, so i decided to buy another 5870, its the HIS model,
the Asus one, I paid (would you believe) $587 approx 3 weeks ago.

One problem I have is that the top card runs extremely hot, like up-to 80* on load whiles the bottom is on 65*. Its because the cards are so close to each other, Having a front air intake, i thought this would of solved that issue.
Unfortunately, I cant move it down a pcie slot due to my shitty case (next on the upgrade list), so I've created custom fan speed profiles in Afterburner which seems to do the trick , but the fan noise is unbearable at anything above 50%.

Squeezebox Boom

Just plugged it in, connected to wireless and found a few firmware updates. This thing is pretty awesome, the speakers in it are great and very easy to use to access loads of Internet Radio broadcasts (yet to add a server and share some of my MP3's to it). Bit of a finger print magnet though and the volume adjustments take a few seconds to register.

Finally got my Fractal case and got it built. It's the Titanium which I think looks great. The Black one is very plain and more of a matte finish. Please ignore the old school multi coloured lame Gigabyte motherboard. Would love a nice EVGA board in there with accompanying i7 but my stupid little E3110 just keeps on truckin so I can't really justify the upgrade.

Sorry about some of the low res ones. Friends camera has been taking pics at 640x480 for years until I changed it

Still LOVE the case, looks very clean, not too heavy, quiet (although would have been a lot quieter if I didn't put a fan on top as you have to remove the bitumen panel that was there).

Old vs new #1

Old vs new #2

Bit blurry, door open

Can't see those fingerprints at ALL in the flesh, only the flash brings them out

Inside's #1

Inside's #3 - Nice and neat

need to get an 8CH fan controller from PCCG now too, as i only havae 3 of the fans plugged in, had to make up a cable last night too, as the H50 uses 2 3pin fan plugs...
also one of the hot-swap bays dont work either, so have contacted corsair about that, not too big of a problem ATM though, as i only have 3 hdds....
