Computer Setup

What an incredibly relatable post title

I've actually done it twice now. First time was the Filco, and the second time was the Lian Li case for the NAS. Good thing chicken and rice never gets old....

Don't forget the hot sauce!

Are they worth crossfiring? I'm considering buying one used or wait a bit and buy a single newer card. Any input?

What is the monitor mount you are using? It looks like the Triple Monitor Mount from EasyMountLCD: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006JG7G2E

That's the one! Awesome mount. Never felt the least bit worried my monitors would drop off it.

Question... i also had 2 6870s in a cross fire but they only had 1 gig of ram, so it bottlenecked me out. what cards are those? and have you tested to see if 2 actually make a difference? it didnt for me so i ended up selling them both and getting a 7890 with 3 gig of ram.... just curious. looks good btw.....

By bottleneck do you mean two cards didn't make much of a difference over one card?

Yeah, have you tested 1 vs 2? how much ram does each card have?

AAAAAAAAAhahahahahahahaha that's so awesome thanks man.

Propppps for the gc stuff

Thanks man! GC was my system. Rockin Fox in Smash bros all day.

You're a true hardware junky ! Nice work I'm jealous of your room. It's a nice little universe of your own :p

Awwwww thanks man! Recently I've taken to lifting, so my diet is pretty good. I try to take pride in what I have. The story behind my username is actually pretty amusing. I was about 12, and was playing AOE2 for the first time, so I picked a good "Roman" name. I've just stuck with it since then because it's pretty hilarious.

I must admit it sounds powerful !

What's the deal with the keyboard?

If you're meaning, why are all the key caps missing, he's taken them off to show you the black mechanical switches underneath.

I got thr same case :D

Biggest success with my new build was going to a Silverstone Strider PSU. Got the shortened cable kit, and now I have no problems with cable management. Waaaay cleaner without the extra power supply cables back there. I would almost make it a mandatory purchase with how tight that back panel is.

How much did that cost? I got an xfx 750w xxx psu, semi modular, and only have an ssd in the back

What are the specs on your FreeNAS box?

I have the same HD 380s. :D I hardly ever see anyone on coolcomputersetups with them.

They are truly in a place of their own. I really enjoy not needing an amp to get quality sound out of them.

What is that playing on the TV?

I'd assume the Linux Mint media box.

Correct! I was playing music at the time.

Man that Filco.. I've been eyeing that keyboard with blues for quite some time now. Do want

I can afford it, just already have a ducky and a rosewill. I prefer the look of the Filco and I've heard they are pretty much the best cherry MX keyboard you can buy

Just got Filco with browns for $100. I can't wait till it arrives.

If you were a farmer, food wouldn't be an issue.

Believe it or not, I kind of am. My family owns a farm, and I get food from time to time, depending on how much we decide to slaughter for ourselves.

That zalman cooler is the biggest cooler to fit with almost any parts, definitely any ram. I have it as well.

Now this is a real gaming setup. You should cross post with r/gaminggaming setup
