Show Off That Batcave!


Recommended Posts

So I'm a gamer, and as such I have my own little slice of "The Batcave"

I've heard that we have quite a few gamers here with us so lets see it!

Before SLI.

Please remember, this isn't better housekeeping so it doesn't have to look like martha's house.

I'm kinda a PC guru not much I don't know hardware wise, so if you have any questions about upgrades or just looking to build a new PC, hit me up. I'm always willing to help.

Very nice. What kind of heat sink is that? Haven't seen anything like that before.

It's the Asus Triton 81. The only downfall it has is push pins for attaching it. But it hasn't hurt performance in the least. This sucker keeps up with the TRUE heat sink and it's a push pull setup. Cost me $80 on newegg, I would have got a different one, but it's all they had for a 1366 socket at the time of ordering the rest of my parts.

Here's mine. Not much, but I built it myself (almost 4 years ago) and I'm proud of her.

Kinda funny, once I got it running I never went back and tied the wires. Just kept using it. Got some other part that never got put on either.

Mine ride is on the left, three years old I think. Had a hard drive issue and no usable backup. Boot drive is on ground out of site. Four drives are my Raid 5 array. New brother on right, T100 server. Three 1.5 TB drives will be another Raid 5 array, was going to get 4 but figured I really didn't need that much storage in the house. Power supply fan is going so have to change that out then I'll put it back together and I might even clean up the dust in the bottom.

Okay well I'm officially jealous, even if I'm no gamer. unworthy.gif That's some serious freakin hardware hangin out round here. I took a picture of my lair, does that count? :D

You bet it counts, but the mac might not have many friends here :harhar:

That desk is just pure win, I haven't seen one like it in some time.

Edit:

Got the G15 keyboard in. I was also able to Overclock my CPU to 3.8Ghz 24/7 stable.

:D Man, that's funny - laughed out loud, and I just woke up a couple minutes ago. Good way to start the day.

There's a whole story about my desk, it was a total score about 25 years ago. Thanks for noticing. thumbup.gif
