Steelseries good mouse.
Can't guess what the keyboards brand is.

That's a Corsair. Fairly sure it's the K70 but, unfortunately one with the 'tramp stamp' brand logo that Corsair didn't keep for long due to people complaining :).

Indeed it is, the space may have been further reduced. Not sure if the photo is with the original fan or its more quiet replacement. Power supply is almost resting on the fan by now :P

There’s also [url=http://www.sandboxie.com/]sandboxie[/url] to allow you to run programs you don’t quite trust in a safer way. Their site has more info on what it exactly is and does.

Always dusty here :P but yeah my PC doesn't restart unless some update requires it to. It's pretty much on 24/7

Modular power supply is a must-have, if you don't need the cables you don't want them in there. I did it in several revisions :P

This is the way to do it, force things into place with zip-ties and stuff it in whatever scarce free…[Read more]

Sure thing :) I got a rather tiny case, the [url=http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=536]SilverStone SUGO SG13[/url]

Second pic to give you an idea of scale with a can of Deoderant.

[i]Excuse me for the dust on the power button, didn’t dust that off. Didn’t want to accidentally turn it off[/i]

Since I haven’t posted since getting a new PC, I’m on a GTX970 and Intel Core i5-4590S with 8GBs of RAM :)

Relatively cheap, quite powerful and very energy efficient. Had to send the videocard back and got it replaced because it crashed while playing games that have low GPU load. Replacement card is working fine =)

It would help the videocard to get some air for sure

Let’s see, you have the 530 which according to Silverstone is:

“[b]Front [/b]2x140mm/ 120mm or 1x200mm (1 x 200mm included)
[b]Rear [/b]1x140mm (included) / 120mm
[b]Bottom [/b]2x120mm
[b]Side [/b]1x140mm
[b]Top [/b]2x200mm/ 140mm or 3x120mm
[b]Interior [/b]1x120mm/140mm”

That’s kinda cheap, they only give you 2 fans by default? The old…[Read more]

Mmmh neither quite as you describe it :)

By default the ‘old’ Phantom comes with 2 sidefans, 0 front fans, 1 top fan and 1 rear fan. Flipped the rear fan to suck fresh air in and added one extra NZXT FS200 fan at the top.
So basically 3x 120mm sucking it in vs 2x 200mm blowing it out.

Don’t think her CPU ever passed the 50°c mark with a…[Read more]

If the cooler allows it I'd mount it 90° turned and get a big output fan at the top, using thermodynamics (aka hot air rises) along with a big fan in the top.
I believe that's how I did it for my girlfriend in a rather similar case (The original NZXT Phantom rather than the 530) with the fan in the back actually blowing cool air in instead of…[Read more]

Nice hardware :) Nice big fat heatsink too. I’ve always preferred oversized aircoolers myself, they look nice and there’s awfully little that can go wrong with them.

My cable management sense is tingling though. There should be a hole next to the powersupply to route the cables behind the motherboard / out of sight. Like they’ve done in this…[Read more]

I could but I don’t always want it muted, mmmh maybe I’ll modify it to make videos start pauzed.

Well it’s the same controls, just always enabled without clicking :)

I mostly needed a quick way to mute in case I opened some obnoxiously loud porn scene in a tab.

uhhh thanks ;)

Popeye the sailor moon
