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!

    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
