That mobo + ram make me want to colour coordinate my set up some more.

You know I think I think I don't actually like the Obsidian, it makes it look like you have an mATX board in a full tower XD

If it came a tad smaller it be great.

I've got my case in an old MSI full tower at the moment, I like the way they sorted out cable management, pretty much only the moto tray is solid

Front intake on it is useless though, and its not my case to rip asunder.

+1 from me. With a decent pricing a mid-tower version of Obsidian could be Antec 300/CM690/etc killer.
IMO it even don't need to have those hot swap drive bays, just the plastic shroud for drive bays.

Nah, what am I saying.. It's your case! have at it!!!

I've actually heard there are some compatibility issues with putting non-Corsair items in the Obsidian. I tried to use some OCZ 2000 MHz ram but I got BSOD just from putting them near the case!

Mine 6 months ago now its a quad rad with 4 Scythe ultra Kraze fans. GTX285 is also watercooled in the loop now. Core i7 960 OC to 4.0GHZ all on an Asrock Extreme Motherboard, with 12gigs of GSkill Trident 1866 ram running 2000mhz. Powered by an Antec 750W PSU. 2 FI 1TB Samsung HD's in Raid0 Temps are 34C idle and 60C under 100% load.

its not because of the case... Its because OCZ ram is shit

MT Alex · 11-07-2009, 04:08 PM

Nice job TeXBill. I like the way you use shelf brackets to hold your rad. Welcome aboard TPU

TeXBill · 11-07-2009, 04:15 PM

Thanks, MT Alex I ran out of room on my desk. With the Skeleton there is no way to mount it in the case. I improvised best way possible. I will get some pics of how it looks now soon and post them.
thanks to everybody and Techpowerup is the best.

That is one nice rig you've got in there mate!
I like the Skeleton a lot. Also +1 for the rad placement.

Ok, so a short photo-session of my (sadly) temporary display. It's a Sharp Aquos LCD TV LC52LE700EV (Full LED, FullHD, 100Hz).
I'm returning it tomorrow and decided to take a few photos.

Darn, it's enormous!

This tiny little fella up front is my 24" LG W2452V-PF LCD... Isn't it cute?

Playing Crysis: Warhead and NFS:Shift was more than great...

I was also testing it with Fifa 10 and Fight Night Round 3 on PS3, but was

too busy beating the crap of my brother to take pictures.

PS. Pardon me for the mess with cables. :P

twicksisted · 11-07-2009, 05:05 PM

I know, it's tempting

But as I said - I'm only testing it and tomorrow I need to give it back to the proper owners, so I guess I shouldn't.

POS!!!!
a month ago i asked: what ram should i buy for my new am3 board???

POS said:
Yes theyre really good, i even asked OCZ about the differences between trident and ripjaw!

dude you inspired me

ive taken my telly off the wall for the night of gaming

musek · 11-07-2009, 06:11 PM

Ahahah good one.

Have fun mate!

For the first few hours I thought that display like this is just to big for me and for general PC usage, but right now I guess that I could get used to it.

PS. Can I has some Pringles?

hehe actually this 40" is just the right size for me... any bigger it would be a pain for FPS gaming... i think perfect would be a 37".... yeah you can have some pringles... but hands off my beer

Velvet Wafer · 11-07-2009, 08:23 PM

Yup, ~40" seems to be a sweet spot, but now I'm sitting ~2m away from 52" LCD and I must say, that i like it A LOT. Well, tomorrow will be a sad day for me...

Ok, your beer is safe.

Yum. Haha, from looking through all of these pictures i'm going to be taking so much more into consideration on my next build.

sneekypeet · 11-08-2009, 05:10 AM

A few runs of 3.6GHz in OCCT and a few rum and cokes led to this, did drop an additional 7 degrees with the jyuni strapped up

youre in the wrong thread, you should post this under "ghetto mods"

sneekypeet · 11-08-2009, 06:02 AM

I was torn, it's modded, but only ATM, so I wasn't too sure.

if the fan was at least blue... i think its very hard to consider it a mod, to simply hang a BLACK fan in front of a BLUE board

Chicken Patty · 11-08-2009, 04:57 PM

I've done that a lot. My AMD heatsinks I would remove the stock fan and strap a 120mm on them. They work as good as my Zalman cooler that is in my QX rig now.
