Are those 6990 dual-GPU cards? Cuz that's some serious power.

Interesting setup. The paint job almost looks like a spray in truck bed liner.

That's an awful lot of cables! Nice job with the extension to the other room, what did you use for that?

I'm a bit concerned about a couple of things however... The psu looks like it's getting air from the bottom but it's seated on a carpet, there's a high risk that the airflow is obstructed and could increase temperature inside the psu, which is something you don't want. Try to find a hard plain surface to put between the case and the carpet. If the temps you reported down are real I'd be a bit worried, 90°C under load really seems too much. For the gpus it's quite the same thing, although 97° is still probably in the range of tolerated heat, I'd be more relaxed with lower temps.

Other than that nice build and +1 for nostalgia chipset!

That PSU has only the rear Fan, no upper or lower. Little outside the norm

You mean it doesn't have any intake? Sound really weird to me. It doesn't have to have another fan, just an intake through which it can get fresh air.

Mesh in the front, rear fan only, fan pulls and pushes

I used a cable runner to protect the cables crossing the hallway.

+1 for an awesome build! I love to see people post their rigs with older parts because it makes me appreciate how far we've come technology wise :)

My opinion is more short term. I'm amazed at how long good PCs will last and remain competitive for non work builds.

Nice job! I've never seen a workstation with it's PC in another room. How did you get all those extension cables?

  • 54 months ago

I bought all the long cables on monoprice.

Huh interesting.

Have you ever thought of putting most of those cables on wireless instead (keyboard, mouse, headset)? Or would the range be to little.

  • 54 months ago

I have never thought of using wireless devices. Its not because of range is just that I do not like having to worry about batteries and they work better when directly connected.

I like to have my PC next to me so I can look at it. why did you put it in a different room? I also have the same case, it was discontinued about a week after mine arrived. http://pcpartpicker.com/b/fLgLrH

Dude, loving that Marantz Amp! I don't see many fellow audiophiles on here. Awesome build as well.

What I would have done different was use a lot of command strip hook things that are for cable routing and ran the cables along the ceiling.

  • 54 months ago

I would have love to have the cables not running along the floor, but the problem is the maximum length in the DVI-D and usb spec. I am running both kinds of cables at the maximum length allowed in the spec or longer. My usb cables is 16 feet long while the DVI-D cables are 30 feet long. If i had to go any longer with the display cables I would have to buy either an active displayport cable, a booster, or one of Corning's optical thunderbolt cable. All of which are very niche products that are usually more than 100 dollars a piece. This is the best I can do within the limits of the "cheaper" cables.

Can you elaborate on the case paint job, the white box inside the case, and some of your audio equipment? Your setup looks well thought out.

  • 54 months ago

The case is painted with Krylon charcoal stone paint. The white box is used to route the air from the front exhaust directly to the front of the case. My audio setup consists of the Fiio E18 Kunlun as the DAC, the Marantz PM750DC as the amplifier and the AKG Q701 headphones.

I love the monitor setup :D I've never even thought of doing that. My dual monitors are just side by side. (Not rotated)

P.S. It's HOT in your house :O 88.5 degrees...

  • 54 months ago

Thanks. Its only 88.5 degrees it just has not it 95 degrees yet.

  • 54 months ago

I don't understand? It has not yet reached 95 degrees? Because I would have had the A/C on once it reached 80 lol.

Well for me it works great when your main monitor is just in normall laying mode and then next to it you have one on its side for multimedia use.
