Just for shits and giggles I guess, I try to keep my shit lights free, lights get super annoying, and this case really should have came with better cable management design but I'm used to it I guess:

yar

This is my live stream PC, much simpler so not as messy, gonna change the CPU to a 3770K if I can find a good deal later, it's currently running an i5 3450 OC'ed to 3.7GHz under load, does 720p@60FPS with Xsplit Faster preset just fine but could always shoot for even better quality, I can push a lot more with the cooler on a 3770k, that's for sure:

Top to bottom, Geforce 9600 GSO (don't like running the onboard stuff,) Sound Blaster Z for optical input, Avermedia Live Gamer HD, and Avermedia Game Broadcaster HD, running on 8GB Corsair Vengence (2x4GB, 1600MHz, 9,9,9,24.)

You skipped the entire point of my post and chose to focus your energy on the most irrelevant part of it.

As far as Vlad, I meant that dude doesn't suggarcoat his replies which is good when you want informative replies.

He also only deals PC - http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/profile/16249/vlad321/posts/#content

It's still fine if you use it for gaming or media editing, I'd still argue the triple channel memory is better for a lot of the editing software out there.

I find it funny when people ask if an i7 or AMD quadcore is bottlenecking their rig. I have this rig with a 3570k and GTX 670 SLI sitting in the livingroom being used only as the Plex media server while due to comfort, lately I tend to play all my games on my bedroom media PC running an Phenom X3 and a 7770. Technically the whole rig is a bottleneck, yet if a game is good, I really don't notice or care... I beat entire DmC on a this rig and had a blast with the game.  720p + everything max 60 fps.

Otherwise if i start posting pics of all PCs I built in the last 3 years, I'd have to put a 56K warning. :)

yeah.... I know the resell pain, I pretty much sold my 4890s for like 50 bucks each when that happened, broke a 5870 eyefinity when I tried to take a custom GPU cooler off which really fucking sucked(shit costed me in the mid 400's for fuck sake) and gave the other one to my brother(that one was around 380-400) before I settled for my current 6950s for about 320 each and don't know how I will sell them yet when I get like a Maxwell 890 GTX with an el cheapo PhysX card or something, that's the life.......

not sure if you care but your HD vs Wii, PC vs HD link is broken.

I know what you mean, I've had so many PCs that already left the house, sold, rebuilt and re-purposed, including laptops and I hardly take pictures lol. You just know I fuck around too much when my step dad is currently running an i3-540 with an OC'ed 550 GTi and all he does is browse the web and play fucking solitaire on it haha. I also recently just shipped out an Athlon 64 x2 5000 with 4GBs of DDR2 on a Radeon 5570 for my brother's kind of dating woman lol.....
