Nice!!!! but you don't have any rgb on the 1070's or the CPU block so i can't award max points ;)

That's it! I'm getting two 2080 Tis and using NVLINK!! 

 

At least my SLI Bridge is RGB ;)

Hey everyone! It has been a long time since I visited Neowin. After I built my first PC back in 2004, I stumbled across Neowin looking for wallpapers. Around 2011, I took a break from being a PC enthusiast/gaming to focus on other things. Happy to say I'm back in the saddle and I thought it was only proper to come show off my new baby

Name: toFu

 

AMD Ryzen 5 2600 (no OCing/fancy stuff yet)

Gigabyte Aorus B450 WiFi

XFX Radeon RX 570

Corsair Vengence 16GB DDR4 @ 3000 

Corsair CX-M 650w

Some SSD I ripped out of my Macbook to keep costs down. Think its Intel? (although thanks to my job I have a 512GB M.2 to upgrade to now)

2x WD 1TB HDD that were also ripped out of a Hackintosh I built a while back

Thermaltake Water 3.0 120mm AIO

3x darkAura 120mm RGB fans

 

Not pictured:

Asus VG278Q 27" 144hz display

fnatic Streak Mini TKL Mechanical Keyboard (Cherry MX Brown)

fnatic flick2 12k DPI gaming mouse

 

She might not look like much, but she's got it where it counts. Still a bit of a WIP as I want to upgrade the AIO (not really happy with the way this one looks would like to go for a rad that takes up the whole front panel) and I'll probably upgrade the graphics card sooner rather than later. I just wanted to get something I could game at decent framerates on and I more or less maxed out my budget for the time being (don't tell the wife!)

 

 

Just a quick update:

Now with an ID Cooling CHROMAFLOW 240 RGB aio in a push-pull config (2X Corsair LL 120 push - 2X ID Cooling 120 RGB ring fans Pull) and the MSI RTX 2060 Gaming Z RGB 

Things have certainly moved on by the looks of this thread, I never realised RGB was such a big thing now.

 

I had a couple of neon light strips, coloured fans and a case with a see though side panel back in 2004, I thought that was pretty hardcore back then.

I prefer my PC to be incognito these days, however Neowin members have some great looking builds! :)

Yeah, much rather have computer be incognito also, but most of the stuff here just looks insanely cool at same time!

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
