why use a converter?

>>24541994
25-35 bucks depending where you get it but compared to other soundcards/amps its good value

>>24542033

>>24541938
god i love your computer.

meanwhile I have shit-tier cable management in mine.

turned the led fans off cause itll hurt your eyes.

>>24542054
Its well worth it even the basic ones

You're welcome

>>24542075
I'd hope it's cheaper across the pond then, what headphones do you use with it?

Anybody have the case buying guide?

>>24542073
Where the fuck are your SATA cables plugged into.

>>24542096
thats a raid card.

>>24542096
Looks like a RAID controller

>>24541682
Even though they're Noctuas, is it quiet having that many fans? I assume you just run then on low and still get decent air flow because there are so many? If it is quiet, is it "silent" (inaudible at 1 metre)?

What are those things surrounding the fans? I assumed they were vibration dampeners, although I thought Noctua fans come with rubber pins already?

Also: What's that thing you're using to hold up the graphics card (and what graphics card is it?) It's an awesome idea! I'll probably do it myself, I assume it's because you don't want it to bend or something?

Last thing: can I see your Speccy? Sorry for asking so much, your setup is awesome.

>>24542089
>I think that the white goes really well with the black, I might even get some white sata cables to make mine look a little better.
Looks great if you get fractal fans (black/white), any black mobo (gigabytes or that thermal armor crap), and either watercooling or something that isn't a noctua. Or hell even a noctua with fractal fans. Have to plan that shit in advance though.

>>24542096
RAID controller?

>>24542093

>>24542072
Aw, such nice words! Which GPUs do you have, there?

>>24542072
so i ordered a new fan (yes its a blue led one, to match the rest of the case).

originally I was going to put it on the door, but thatll be really annoying everytime i want to open it, so i was thinking I move the black fan on the top left and add it to the 212+ as a second fan, and put the new fan in that spot.

yes or no?

>>24542093

There was probably some truth to that when they were first released, but matured drivers and CF caps really help.

I also suspect quite a bit of that is also nVidia fanboys trying to make a small problem bigger than it was (same goes for AMD fans claiming fermi housefires).

Also, what GPU is that in your guts pic? its a GTX 2xx series, right?

>>24542286

Fuck no, I'm too busy being depressed at how wonky my pictures are, and that I really need to finish decorating my room...

>Even though they're Noctuas, is it quiet having that many fans? I assume you just run then on low and still get decent air flow because there are so many? If it is quiet, is it "silent" (inaudible at 1 metre)?
I have that many because I don't have a side fan and my case is in a really cramped space in the desk, so there's very little room for exhaust. The case fans are completely silent at 1m (at relatively low RPMs), but you can hear the processor fans and the graphics card fans! That's mainly because you hear them through the top exhaust, with the default covers on them you can't hear anything (but of course you don't have the top 2 fans then).
>What are those things surrounding the fans? I assumed they were vibration dampeners, although I thought Noctua fans come with rubber pins already?
Magnetic Sharkoon vibration dampeners, I put them on on the top 2 exhaust fans because R3 has an issue with very strong fans blowing into the hex grill, and making it vibrate against itself somehow. When you use these the fans get about 1cm clearance between the fan and the grill which makes this a non-issue.
>Also: What's that thing you're using to hold up the graphics card (and what graphics card is it?) It's an awesome idea! I'll probably do it myself, I assume it's because you don't want it to bend or something?
Powerjack, it's because my 7950 is severely depressed since the 680 came out, and it helps her hang in there.

Beats me, when I looked up the benchmarks for case fans the only half-decent ones were noctuas and fractals, and the latter I couldn't find in my euroshithole.

What do you guys think of the Antec One case?

>>24542553

>>24542512
>doesnt that case have dust filters? who do i always see fractal cases that are dusty as fuck in guts threads? probably the owners never clean them since they're so fucking hard to get out.
For the lower intake filter, you have to remove the side of the case and the fan and the plastic frame and only then you can clean it. I removed the entire plastic frame and the filter, and put on a magnetic filter on the bottom side of the case, so I can just snap it off and clean without disassembling half of the case.

For the front filters, it's true that they're fixed to the plastic frames too, but I don't see why you'd have to clean them from the inner side too, it should be enough to just do the side facing outwards. Otherwise you have to unscrew those frames too.

Oh and the two top exhausts have pretty retarded grills/holes - they're made for 14mm fans so when you put 12mm there's an edge around them that makes the dust fall in around the fans. I'll have to plug that with something at some point.

>>24542583
Oh, forgot to mention, there is no hole for the 8 pin, which is a bit of a bitch, so I had to use an extension, so I didn't have a cable cutting across my mobo driving me nuts

What gpu is that? my original guess would be a 6870
no offense, but i think that Asus design is by far the ugliest cards

>>24542692

Just a separator/isolator between the bottom and upper sections.

>>24542604
antec p-series. open door, pop off filters, clean. you dont have to turn off the computer, remove side panels or move it at all.

>>24542698
Explain?

>>24542726
This.

It's not like it really affects temps though.

If I had no case fans, then yeah, fair enough, but that circulating air, is enough to keep shit hitting the fan.

>>24542739

It's a Asus HD5850 TOP.

>Ugly
If I cared about such a thing, I would have a side window and LEDs everything.

It is loudest component in my case by far, and the hottest it has ever reached was 75 at 5870 clocks, in a 32 ambient temperature room.

>>24542747
But why does it even exist, when it has cable holes right next to it?

>>24542761
if you use any expansion cards at all, especially high-end graphics cards, you should never orient the heatsink vertically. it's like placing a big hot wall infront of where the fan intakes air. front to back airflow, always. that one isnt nearly the worst i have seen though.

>>24542805
not saying you should care.

heck i was going to get two of the 6870s witht hat cooler to crossfire.

my second guess would have been a 5870 or 5850.

its just a weird look, thats all.

Holy shit, these are my guts.

And I guess your logic is sound but my cpu never goes beyond 50*C when playing something taxing.

I might change it in the future but I paid much to much for that cooler and it can't be rotated by 90*.

>>24543201
At least rotate your PSU, that cannot be good for it drawing hot air from your GPUs.

Those are 5770s, right?

>PSU sucking in GPU exhaust
>Too many HDDs in a small case

Please, just kill me

>>24543220

Yes, they are 5770.

And I can't do that., I have holes in the case on the bottom and if I rotated the PSU it would suck up a fuckton of dust in a matter of days. I guess that would be even worse.

I was looking around for some filters I could install but I haven't found anything good yet.

>>24543253
I would much rather have a dusty PSU than fucked up GPU's

>>24543243

>CPU orientation
Doesn't matter. I idle at 40*C and never go beyond 50*C on the CPU.
>XFIRE in tiny case
And how is that a problem? I don't really play, I have it for triple-screen support.
>PSU sucking in GPU exhaust
Already said in >>24543253. The other way around it would suck in dust.

Full retardan'.
BALANCE MOTHERFUCKER, DO YOU KNOW IT?

>>24543311
Exactly, it's sucking heat in, "stealing it" from his GPU's, so they aren't getting any air to cool them down.

Same thing was happening to me, when I mistakenly put my PSU in upside down.

>>24543311

Yeah, I guess I should change it.

I'll have to look around again fro these filters. Because seriously. With large amounts of dust inside the psu it gets ridiculously hot.

At work I routinely encounter computers that came from the office with dead PSU's because they were full of dust and overheated like crazy.

The case wasn't that cheap. It's just shit.
The cpu cooler was also pretty expensive, but based on the photos I saw it seemed to have the right orientation. When it arrived I discovered it did not.
And the PSU is pretty decent.

I could never justify spending more, just doesnt make sense imo.

>>24543922
yeah my 912 is comming tomorrow :) but if i can get that for 50 bucks then whey spends more than triple eh?
post pics of yours please

sigh... fine

>>24543955
I already did. My case is >>24542072

I am probably going to switch to a HAF 912 eventually, or a corsair 600D or something.

I think I may spend more than $100 this time, tired of shit tier cases.

Does anyone have any case guide that they could post? I'm looking for something around $100 to get out of the current case which is absolute shit.

I paid for it about $50 and it's probably the worst thing I have ever bought. I had to bend the frame to get the optical drive in because it was cut improperly and do the same when installing a front fan because the holes were in the wrong places.

Holy shit I hate this case.

>>24543991

oh shit I feel like an idiot. for $20 more, I could have that

>>24544077
haha, i didnt know about the 300r until like a week ago, but i figured for 30 bucks less the haf 912 was better, plaus tax would have been bigger
i got my haf for 53bucks shipped with tax

>>24542378
>proc temp not lower than ambient temp
lol noctua

I have found a few cases with pretty much the same price and I'm not sure which to chose:

CORSAIR 300R - Looks really sturdy, has a removable filter for PSU and has very simple looks which I like.
CORSAIR 400R - Seems similar in all departments to it's predecessor.
COOLERMASTER SILENCIO 550 - Looks good and simple as well, has some silencing foam which is awesome but I don't see any filters.
Regnum L50 Regnum L50 - Pretty round but seems to have all the bells and whistles like filters and nice drive bays.

Anyone that used any of them could tell me their experiences?

>>24544268
400r is 20 bucks more than the 300r, so thars a factor
if you care about money the 912 is fine buddy

>>24544345

But 912 looks like shit.

And no, where I live 300R and 400R cost exactly the same. I was surprised as well.

>>24543985
What Case That?

>inb4 the guy that always points out the superior cooling ability of colgate

>>24544499

yeah doms get hot as fuck dont get caged

>>24544422

I guess it's nice but... is there a way to turn off the leds in the front fans without cutting any cables? I don't want my case glowing at night.

>>24544499

Do any of you guys bother to use PCI blowers?

Is there like a silent case (so no meshes everywhere open in all directions) that still has some room in it?
Cheap at that
I'm guessing the define r3 is my only choice but even that looks tight...
Also how hard is to tinker in these?

>>24544643
R3 is actually pretty roomy, especially with a modular PSU so that the back panel isn't filled with useless shit.

>>24544643
get a basic case and foam it up yourself, just make sure you use good intake & outtake fans

this is my pathetic attampt at sound proofing my current POS case

>>24544460
That is absolutely hideous.

>>24544679

Wouldn't do good for the temps I fear.
There really is no best buy unless I go full tower and spend even more (and find a place for a huge case)
In the end I have to choose between cool or silent.

>>24544746
But it makes space coffee. Get with the times square-o!

>>24544757

Oh, and its bad enough that I much better like the looks of the airy-ricey cases like the HAF series...

>>24544746
Nah dawg nah

It's a type of expressionist art style popularized during the great depression

IF you haven't heard of it, I can understand, most people haven't

Most Casuals just focus on minimalism

>>24544748

What the fuck is happening here, you don't have a psu so you power the pc with the T-virus?

>>24544746
i get fine temps

my friend has this and he does fine and its very quiet

exept his is white

Are there any animals that could live inside a case (perhaps in a separate enclosure and not be adversely affected? I was thinking a tarantula but unfortunately they're very sensitive to vibrations apparently.

>>24544840
you could use cacti

>>24544840
Dunno but you can grow ganj in one

>>24544861
ffs that's a pokemon not an animal

>>24544876
Wait

What

>>24544798
it's a Caselabs M8. And that pic is from before I finished it. I'll try to get a new pic when i get home

Actually, I have a Xonar in mine.

There wasnt any good and not overprice mATX boards at the build time.
Not to mention I wanted a X1 slot in slot one for my sound card.

So I chose between was the X58UDR-3, P6X58D-E and the long gone P6T Deluxe.

>>24545451
see >>24543607
considering the slots i got with this matx board i did pretty well

>>24545484
my xonar DG is plugged into the blue slot ATM

>>24545766

Looks good. The cabling could be a bit better, though.

New case, CPU cooler and other bits soon

>>24545834

Yeah, gonna improve it when I come home on the 5th.
Adding a 3rd harddrive on 1TB too.
