You have to work on your wire management, there... :laugh:

I admit is not neat... but it completely lefts the main hot air exhaust (yeah... not intake) free, it maintains quite cool the processor and GPU (44?C and 64?C max temps)... it was one hell of a show to fit that motherboard in such an small case...

One big happy family!

That is one colourful work/play space :woot:

I finally kicked out my room mate, so I have my entire house back (she had TWO out of three rooms, so I had to have my office stuff in my bedroom in the past post)...

 

Still working on it ATM...the flag I just threw up there so the walls didn't look so bare lol.

This is like the high version of my recent build, you got a 7970 and a xonar card, I got a 7950 and a Creative Z, everything else is almost the same (except for keyboard and mouse... and two less screens :D)

Changed the stock cooler (not bad but too noisy) for the Samurai ZZ rev 2 and added a Creative Z sound card (It's OEM version, hence no shield) just above the graphics card... I used to have the Creative X-Fi USB, back then was a huge change from onboard audio but with this now I know that it can get even better :D

You need a bigger case for cable management. :P

You need a bigger case for cable management. :p

I deliberately wanted to assemble an small but powerful system, worst thing is... there *is* cable management, it's on the second optical bay.... the cables that you see are only the power and data cables of both the SSD and HDD.... lol. total size is 40 x 20 x 45 cm.

I bought a large case because I'm awful with cable management, I wish I had a really clean cable job like some of the pros on here.

    • lots of people us facebook for stuff, threads though no
    • Can you read? I've said I'm willing to pay more for a notchless (no notch) 3:2 screen.
    • Not even an OLED display on the laptops. Also it seems that the laptop design isn't the same as the Surface Ultra model. Looks like bargain bin at high prices.
    • make your own notch - it's not that hard
    • VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.
