OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 圆4 + Xubuntu 14.04 圆4 Laptop A (aka MANNY, aka "the computer I grab when I don't feel like going to my room "): CPU: Intel Pentium 4 3GHz HT (Prescott) HTPC (aka MINION, aka 30 bucks computer): CPU: Intel Celeron Ivy Bridge (don't remember which one, though) Heavy yet resistant.Ĭomputer B (aka MERVEILLE, aka my brother's computer which I mantain): Case: an awesome modded NOS full-ATX case from 2004. Audio: modded CMI8738 (for its awesome chiptunes) OS: W7 Home Premium 圆4 + Xubuntu 14.04 LTS Mobo: Gigabyte GM-H61 (unknown revision) My laptop's some four-year-old HP thingie, does the job, but not really worth describing.Ĭomputer A (aka SAVARIN, aka my own computer): Thing is, it looked like this within a year. Mouse: A really nasty old Razer Salmosa that looks like it carries diseases and probably does. Keyboard: Corsair Vengeance K90 (mechanical w/ sensitive red switches, they're nice for gaming, but typing on this thing is horrible lol) So yeah, can wholeheartedly recommend the Define line! Even under extended periods of stress I can just run those fans at 7v no problem.
And with that one quiet fan added (grand total of three), it still cools surprisingly adequately for a silent case. I especially love the case, a thick, minimalist lump of metal that feels like a safe (seriously, for a midtower this thing is damn heavy) and with the right internals makes for a practically inaudible rig, which is a real step up from my previous one and adds more comfort in daily use than you can imagine. Still a sweet little system aside from the dumb SSD. That's my desktop, built it myself about a year and a half ago. PSU: Corsair HX750 V2 (which I know is overkill at the moment, bought with future SLI in mind)
Storage: Samsung 1 TB HDD + 60 GB Corsair Accelerator cache SSD (which currently doesn't work because the Dataplex caching software is about as stable as the middle-east) RAM: G.Skill Ares DDR3, 8 GB (4x2), 1866 MHz Case: Fractal Design Define R4, with one additional 140mm fan in the frontĬPU: Intel Core i5 3570K (still to be OC'd, not needed as of yet)
