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...

[_dandy_]

My newest build, pieced together from spare parts, running Linux Mint 15. Excellent case design allows for exceptionally cool and quiet operation...  :shiftyninja:

Must do wonders for RF leakage.

Ugh, i'd be so afraid that thing just roll off my desk.

All 4 wheels lock so it doesn't move at all.  You could knock the desk as hard as you want and it doesn't even budge.

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.

Seeing all these clean desks makes me want to clean mine.

@chris123NT

 

what case is that?

[Chris123NT]

@chris123NT

 

what case is that?

CaseLabs TH-10.  It's a huge case but perfect for multiple radiator water loops.

I want that desk now.... I know what it is now, just have to make a 2-hour trip down to Ikea...

[nvllsvm]

Apologies for the quality. I used a Nexus 4 to take the pictures in a room that is already quite dark.

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)

[Arceles]

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

[Arceles]

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.
