Hehe

At Sweclockers.com I call the computer for "Kitchen computer: Red in Green"

Here's a little set up I built for $450 using stuff laying around the house.





Intel D525 1.8ghz w/ HT
DDR3 2gb So-Dimm
Habey Mini Itx server case
USB creative audio
15" Touch Screen monitor
Rosewill Monitor Mount (will hold at least a 32" TV)
540w JVC Stereo

Runs a spreadsheet from my App server for each cycle (weights are calculated based upon a max) & streams music from my media server. Works nicely w/ the touch screen. More than fast enough for my needs.


Where I train (needs paint!) and where this set up is.


Hope you guys enjoy. The only thing xtreme about this set up is the environment.

This room with all this heavy metal structures feels scary to me

[game_matter]

Looks nice, but I wonder where's the PSU?

[[XC] Synthetickiller]

120w Pico PSU. Came with the mini itx case.

I sold my ATCS 840 and the WC setup, and this is my new SFF build. Cable management was a nightmare, but is a perfect case for a powerful (and tiny) gaming rig,

DaBox is a lovely little case. I bet its a nightmare like my SG07, although you seem to have it under control!

I'm always on the lookout for the perfect mATX case, so thanks for posting this.

[Dami3n]

The worst part of the build was the beginning, with the PSU installed and all the cable chaos inside the case. But once you tie all the main cables and find the right place to fix them, installation is less painful.
The motherboard tray and the top fan metal frame are removables, so they make the work easy.

That, I like!!

Nice PC. What make is your power rack? I fancy getting one but they a bit pricey!

[[XC] Synthetickiller]

It's the build your own 3x3 at elitefts.com

Fatbars.com produces the racks. I've dumped well over 500 in squat with no issues. I bench in it as well. Very solid. I had a 2x2 rack years ago, but once I started squatting well into the 300s, it would start to tip.

PM me if you have any questions about it. I've been lifting for 10 years and I'm as into it (powerlifting) as I am into PCs. I can help you out if you need some info and want to buy stuff on a specific budget.

So here's some pics of my build... ran into real life so haven't been able to close up the back side yet, or finish the side window (taking the "wave effect" out and going with a square window instead) but at least everything is running well and temps have been good... also going to install a keystone jack in the wall to get rid of that nasty CAT6 cable running across the floor, but again I blame that pesky RL...

Nice choice of Keyboard. Blues, Browns or black? :P

[eskamobob1]

that is a truly beastly case... how do u like it with all the weird features, and hows the air flow? does a lot of dust get stuck underneath the case?

I think air flow is fine, you can watch this video to see how it's work

Sure there will be a lot of dust underneath, but the case have 2 dust filter there, and clean up those filter are pretty easy
I bought this just 'cause I love the wacko design, nothing more

[eskamobob1]

thats prity sweet

Went to a new chassis & power supply. I'm actually a little disappointed since the chassis doesn't fit together perfectly (Lian-Li PC-K58W) and the new CPU heatsink (CM Hyper 212+) had a bad fan. Also, please forgive the messy CPU fan cable (I've got that neatened up a bit now). I have to see if I can't get that SATA cable (for the optical drive) routed properly. I'll be hiding the LED headers, too, since I run my computer as unlit as possible.
