[Pics] Show off pics of your gaming rig!

[xtoro]

I know there's already a thread for computer builds, and I posted my build in it already, but there's hardly any pitchers! Also, it's an anything goes thread. What I'd like to see is everyone's setup. I searched for a rig pic thread but couldn't find one.

If you post your rig here, you MUST include pictures of it!

Anything goes, from nice clean setups with nice cable management to motherboards sitting on a piece of wood with a nest of wires coming out of it (I've seen it before!). But it must be the system you use, or have used to run KSP.

My Current build:

CPU: i7 4790K overclocked at 4.5Ghz

RAM: 16GB HyperX Fury ocverclocked @ 2400

Motherboard: MSI Z97-GD65 Gaming board

GPU: 2x Radeon HD 5830's crossfired and overclocked

PSU: Thermaltake 750W

HDD #1: Three Spinpoint S4's in RAID 0 config (OSes, programs and important data)

HDD #2: 1TB Western Digital Black (Storage for music, downloads and movies)

Case: Coolermaster CM690II lined with sound-deadening Spire Soundpad matting on both side panels

Case Cooling: 5 fans for case controlled by Scythe fan controller

CPU Cooling: CPU is watercooled with Corsair H80i watercooler.

CLICK PICS FOR HIGH-RES!

Case:

Inside:

Temps and info (Too long for one screenshot, sorry):

CPU temps at idle are always under 30*C and during KSP gameplay sit around 35*C with GPU at around 45-48*. Stress testing the entire system gets my CPU up to around 64* and GPU at 70*. I've never seen my CPU get close to 70* and I've never had my GPU go over 70*.

Currently having fitment issues with my actual video cards which are Radeon HD 5890's. They take too much room near the front of the case so I have my 5830's installed for now until I can figure something out. They still run great so I'm not worried about it.

cpu: i7 4790k

ram: 8gb @ 2400

mobo: asrock z97m-itx/ac (great board so far)

gpu: gtx750ti

hdd: 256gb 500gb ssds

psu: 450w

case: coolermaster elite 110

fan: 140mm hydrodynamic bering (one is all that is needed)

pretty good build and i can shove it in a backpack if i ever have to go on the road. more info here and heres the parts list (sans the 500gb ssd which was a carry over from my last build)

Here's my budget gaming build:

AMD 10-6800k 4.1ghz (Overclocked to 4.6)

Crucial Ballistix Sport, 4Gb x2, 1600Mhz.

Gigabyte f2a88xm-d3h Motherboard

MSI R9 270 OC "Gaming". 2Gb.

HDD: 1Tb western digital Blue 7200Rpm.

SSD: 128Gb crucial MX100.

Rosewill line-m case.

The CPU is the only bottleneck in the system, and it's not noticeable unless you're converting video or unzipping huge files. Otherwise all my games run at 60+ FPS.

EDIT: Added pictures, although they're not very high quality.

EDIT: For KSP, anyway. I have a PC, but it's old and not performing well. (and huge)

[Capt.Joseph Kerbertson]

AMD FX8150 Processor stock clock@ 3.9Ghz

ASUS sabertooth 990FX motherboard

32gb ddr3 corsair ram with heat spreaders 669Mhz

WD 128GB SSD

WD green drive 1TB

DVD-r (I don't understand how people can give this up...)

PNY GeForce GTX670 2gb ddr5

Thermaltake 850watt modular PSU

Unknown case (can't remember) 7 fans.

Win 7 professional 64bit (because 32gb ram)

Monitor... 42in Dynex LCD TV. It outputs 1080p that and my kids took my 3 previous BenQ monitors I had to use with Nvidia Surround... Kids:P

Umm...

THIS is what I use.

I feel your pain, DisarmingBaton5. My Windows PC runs off Windows 98, so there's no chance there. The joystick's a Thrustmaster HOT AS (something), the keyboard's just a basic keyboard, costs five pounds.

Yeah, I feel it. I'm saving for something better, but man, this thing crashes every hour or so on a bad day. On a good day, it doesn't crash at all, so it's not all bad. Could be worse. Least it isn't made of pudding.

Sorry for the crappy picture, it was dark and I had to use a Kindle. It's got a forwards facing camera, so I had a fun time getting it lined up.

I am fairly curious what kind of work you do with your computer that warrants 32 GB of RAM.

[steve_v]

Not exactly a gaming box, but kinda related since it's where my KSP install lives. (and I had a pic lying around)

10TB ZFS pool / fileserver

Webserver

MPD server

Other stuff...

Q8400 @ 3.2GHz

8GB RAM

8x 7.2KRPM 2TB in raid-z2

1x 64GB SSD Cache

2x 10KRPM 160GB in raid 1 (OS)

SiS 305 PCI GPU

Debian wheezy x86_64

Old, but reliable.

Video editing can use up a lot of RAM.

What i don't understand is why he has 32 GB of it, but it's clocked at 669Mhz?

[steve_v]

As far as RAM goes, the more the merrier. (and RAM is comparatively cheap)

What you're not using for applications gets used as buffers / cache, even with an SSD that's a noticable improvement in file access latency

OTOH, I have 16GB in my gaming box and every now and then I'll find some zombie process lurking when it should have died long ago - usualy KSP.

Sudden performance nosedive, swiftly followed by OOM killer activation

The Linux OOM killer even terminates the right process... most of the time.

I did it because I could I guess is the best answer. Wife gave the go ahead for a gaming rig, I went all out. If I had to do it over, I would have gone with a slightly cheaper GPU and did SLI instead. I still can't touch my GPU for under 400 and it's getting old, but it blows the 7 series away

Stock clock. What should it be at? It's 1333MHZ ram, but it's showing up as 669...

Edited November 4, 2014 by Capt.Joseph Kerbertson

My mistake, i just remembered programs like CPUZ show only single data rate of ram. So 669*2 (DDR) is 1338Mhz which is a more "normal" speed.

Random question, but what is that drink there? Just curious. I guess I'll post pictures of my rig here in a bit, will edit this post.
