    Nobody wants to hear what I have to say about gaming or audio. I've only dabbled in online gaming and ain't interested but this was my "battle station" in mid-'13. Unfortunately that 2011 model Dell XPS730 on the left reached a point where it won't boot. So I stashed it and I have had to live in game withdrawals for about a year now except for bare minimum stuff. My PCs have served double duty as a TV for years also. Right now I just have two junk heap Dells and there wasn't much point to using a third monitor but I still can. Anybody want to coach a old dude on my broke XPS? Pipe up, man. You guys have more in your 'puters than in your GPs!

    All Grand Prix, all the time. 69 Model J, 99 GT & GTP coupes. All junk, haha.

    I have that installed on both of mine now (with the controversial "hot coffee" mod) and do reach for it occasionally. Figured when 5 for PC hits, I'll build the XPS to the recommended specs. I think NFS HP2 or BF42 DC was the last thing I played online.

    Currently building my new rig. Cant find any pics of my old desk in my apartment,

    found a few of my last build tho








    Was:
    MSI Mpower Z77
    i5 3450 CPU
    SLI'd EVGA 480 GTX's with Arctic Cooling coolers (still hit 104*C (214*F) with it during stress testing)
    8GB Avexir 2400mhz RAM
    Stuff and junk.
    1TB HDD, slow and noisy


    New build is literally waiting for parts to arrive.
    MSI MPower Z97 Overclocker edition
    i7 4790k (mwahahaha)
    SLI'd EVGA GTX 770's (Cheaper and more powerful than a 780ti)
    8GB Corsair Dominator 2400mhz RAM
    2 512GB Crucial SSD's

    Gonna do a custom water cooling loop, mostly XSPC components, save for the CPU block, thats a Swiftech Apogee block. 2 360mm Radiators, both setup in push/pull.
    To be jammed into my NZXT H440.


    And finally, my best build to date.

    Those logitech speakers hit hard, I have the older Z-2300 system and its stupid loud. You have the Z623? I think is the name with the 7 inch sub, still good. Also please do something with that cable management before I do it for you.

    This page is much better.

    Here's my crap:

    All so old, it's not worth much. Or it wasn't worth much to start with.



    See that big white fan? Yes, it's really stopped dead. Thanks for making me open this thing GPF. All of the fans are also getting noisy. Always had terrible luck with Antec fans, but even my Scythe fan is on it's way out. The Arctic cooling CPU cooler fan is done. It's not that it doesn't work at all, it does, just needs a high PWM frequency.

    It also reports very hilarious speeds.




    Only two speeds it reads.

    Antec P180b?
    Try some Yate Loon fans, I have one that I bought way back in 2007 that only just died a month or 2 ago cuz I dropped a screw driver on it.

    Fans aren't cooling enough unless they can build boost inside the case right?

    I think it's P183. Not that it matters, same thing pretty much.

    How quiet are those fans? Anything past a 20-30 dB rating is too loud IMO. Not because I can hear that, but because they always tend to be so much louder in practice.

    To be fair, the case and those fans are pretty old now.

    Depends on what speed you get, they have like 4 or 5 different speeds of fans, plus they are cheep too.
