SiD Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Sup guys So as most know I just did my first transfer/build. Was fun as balls, but very time consuming. I promise a few finished pics! I've added a few pics of the man cave too, to show you guys where/how I work and play. System: Name: FrankenBeast! (Because the thing is pretty damned Frankensteined... and beastly!) Case: Corsair Carbine Series R200 Motherboard: IPIMB-RA Acer Aspire (stock) Monitor: Insignia 1920x1080 Television Hooked up via HDMI. Also an LG 24M45 1920x1080 PSU: EVGA Supernova NEX750B 750W CPU: i7 3770@3.4ghz GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 780 HDD: 2TB Seagate Barracuda RAM: 10GB 2x Nanya Technology NT4GC64B8HG0NF-CG 4GB DDR3 1x Nanya Technology NT2GC64B8HG0NF-CG 2GB DDR3 Speakers: Shitty insignia speakers lol (Next on the lsit) OS: Windows 8 x64 DVD Drive: Standard Asus CD Drive Gaming Peripherals: 2x Razer Naga Mice (One green glow, one blue) 1x Razer Orochi Mouse (Green glow) Razer Lycosa Keyboard (Blue glow) Razer Vespula Dual Sided Trackpad Turtle Bearch Earforce z22 Headset 2x Logitech D-input controllers 2x Xbox 360 Afterglow X-input controllers 5x 1TB external HDD's 2x External DvD drives I'm not an expert at this so I tried my best at hiding the wires. A little hard given some of the connection placements, but it still looks pretty roomy to me. After seeing some cooler builds, I may opt for a Plexiglas side plate and some light up fans. Power on! 333 FPS! here's some shots of the gaming area. 'Living room'. Roommate uses the Wii more than me lol And the Teddy bear is not mine. Book Case! Top row is mostly her shit. Movies and stuff. Bottom three rows are mine. Mid shelf is all gaming stuff. 4th shelf is all comic books (yep I collect), and bottom is all PC gaming mags from like '99-2010. Some older gaming mags too from the 90's like Nintendo power. The work station! Laptop for ease of access. Looking to get a second monitor. Edited April 2, 2014 by SiD the Vicious 4 Quote
SiD Posted March 4, 2014 Author Posted March 4, 2014 Junk Yard lol All spare keyboards/mice/routers/parts Everything goes in boxes for the most part. Cords galore! There's a box in there just for Cell phone cords... It's full. Then there's a spot for gaming stuff and harddrives! Man cave ain't complete without nerd shit. Some of it's mine. The card and Warcraft dolls belong to Sin lol Oh and every gamer has to eat, right? Snackin' kitchen! 4 Quote
TulsaGeoff Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Nice setup and good job minimizing the wires. Corsair cases are my favorite Quote
SiD Posted March 4, 2014 Author Posted March 4, 2014 Thanks man Yeah Corsair had some really cool designs when I was looking over the models they had in store. Sadly, this was the only one in my current budget haha I wouldn't mind maybe getting someone to cut out the side so I can fit it with some sort of glass or plexiglass. I really think the see through thing is really rad. Especially when you got shit inside that glows! Quote
TulsaGeoff Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I don't know what it costs to have a local shop cut out a panel. I would imagine it wouldn't be that expensive. It might be fun to try. My old roommate cut through the top of his brand new Corsair case with a dremal and managed to not scratch or mess up his case. It can be done He installed a triple 120 radiator on the top of his. It did take forever to cut through that steel case. Aluminum would have been MUCH easier. His build is from Stevedawg listed on page 2 of the showcase forums. Thinking back on it. Just have a shop do it. It would be very hard to cut it perfectly straight. Quote
A. Pirate Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I used to have that same keyboard but after 4+ years it had reached the end of its lifespan. I ended up getting a Corsair Vengaence K70 (With Cherry MX Brown switches). It's a world of difference. Quote
SiD Posted March 4, 2014 Author Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) @Tulsa Yeah I'd probably get someone pro to do it hah. I'd muff it up hardcore. Also damn, stevedawg's build is pretty sweet! @Pirate That's something I'll have to look into soon. I've had this thing for about 3 years now and it's still going fairly strong. However, I found out that this model isn't really available anymore (unless I go through amazon/ebay). I looked up that model you mentioned and it is pretty nice looking! There was a keyboard in a thread around here that had a whole separate section for gaming (additional wasd keys +macro buttons) that looked pretty cool as well.
