Description

Finally a new case that better fits its namesake!

Specs are the same. Still runs everything!

I would hope it runs everything! Seriously though nice parts list..... but the cable management could be better.

I tried my best with the cables, I pushed as much as I could out of the big airflow paths, but the PSU is only half-modular so most of those cables are gonna lie on the bottom of the case shoved under my HDD.

Great build, you rationed your money very wisely. I am jealous of your mouse, I bought a death adder just before yours come to market. Please let me know if it lives up to it's reputation. Could you double check your GPU clock, 41.05Ghz seems a bit err.. optimistic if you ask me.

Oh oops a 4 somehow got in there. Maybe if it had a 950C operating temp?

I actually paid around $1000 for the initial build, the 1600 was when I upgraded to a 290X and then I didn't factor stuff like keyboard and mouse.

The G502 is pretty great so far, forget about the 12kdpi, you'll probably be running at a typical 2000-2400 dpi and then the sensor is nice and accurate down there. I haven't really found a use for the extra buttons but I'll have something mapped to them eventually. It's comfortable in my hand despite it's somewhat polygonal shape, and the scroll wheeeeeeel I can spin it for days!

where did you buy the RAM???? $125 is a steal for those!

My initial build was over a year ago, back when 16GB of RAM was really cheap. It was actually around $90 a few months before, and I missed out on it :c

How are you liking that cooler, i'm thinking of useing it in my build

It's huge but it cools amazingly well. I can see why it's such a popular choice. It's a little difficult to install but what kind of cooler isn't?

Ha I wish! I used the one at work. It's a big fancy $10k one.

Lol where do you work? How sturdy is the stuff it makes? Is it just like foam? Or is it solid plastic?

It was some engineering consulting firm that had some Stratasys 3D printers. It prints in a somewhat porous ABS plastic but there are lots of other materials that you can print with.

How are the Superlux 681's?

My audiophile friend recommended me those for what I wanted to pay, they sound great and they're only around $30. Biggest bonus for me is that they're over-ear.
