That graphics card is tiny! Is that how they're making the newest ones? Mine's easily twice as long, and I got it about 3 months ago.

What case did you end up going with?

Looks sweet satch! I just finished my first rig, with an AMD 3.0 quad and an HD 5750. You thinkin of adding a second card in the future too?

Nice! What are the specs?
Commented 13 years ago2010-12-20 12:23:57 UTC Comment #48034
Wait, what? I have a GTX 480 and it's about twice the length of that.

Guys, I think the size of the case makes that graphics card tiny ;).
Commented 13 years ago2010-12-20 16:32:51 UTC Comment #48035
Nah, that's a midi case.
Commented 13 years ago2010-12-20 17:34:57 UTC Comment #48030
That would make the motherboard and the CPU cooler ginormous as well.

It's a fucking tiny card, it is.

It's a huge freakin' fan.

It's great Satch, though I think you might need to work on the cable management a bit, if you care about stuff like that. Even if you don't care how it looks, it'd be less of a hassle to clean out when it eventually gets dusty.

neater than my cables :/
Commented 13 years ago2010-12-21 01:09:48 UTC Comment #48031
If I had a camera you'd see how neat mine are. It's amazing, you really don't see any cables at all.

Hey its a Macintrash :D
Commented 13 years ago2010-12-21 06:08:51 UTC Comment #48024
With dual quad core processors.
Commented 13 years ago2010-12-21 08:01:53 UTC Comment #48044
Mine is even neater, with DIY fan holes that look very professional.
Commented 13 years ago2010-12-21 08:03:26 UTC Comment #48036
Mine's neater and doesn't look like tacky plastic shit, Ant. Oh, and mine probably cost half of what yours did, while still being just as powerful, if not more-so. Ouch, Ant. Ouch.

Man looking at that makes me want to get my rig down even faster!

Man looking at that has made me hungry... Supper is in 32mins!

my case is a Antec 900, it is nice. X )

Huntey: Really? 2x Quad Core server CPUs and everything? Also, the entire case is aluminium, so I'm not sure what plastic you're looking at.
Commented 13 years ago2010-12-21 19:12:54 UTC Comment #48045
Ouch.

Brand loyalty/bashing: Your justification to yourself that every little decision(like a purchase) you've ever made in your life was the correct one.

yeah I got to think about cable management
Commented 13 years ago2010-12-21 21:32:16 UTC Comment #48048
Apple is a good brand.
Commented 13 years ago2010-12-22 02:40:21 UTC Comment #48038
Mercedes-Benz is a good brand too, but I'll never buy a German car.

I'll always drive a Honda. It drives 15+ years without ever having a problem.

By the way, I actually paid some attention to cable management. I focus on what's on top of the motherboard. As long as the cables are not running across the motherboard, I'm happy. The cables running behind the motherboard or along the side don't bother me.
