Guy's Trooper 2012 Rig


#1

Sup guyz,
I bought some new hardware today and i’d thought i’d show you what i’m running.

SPECs!!
CPU: i5 2300
M/B: Asus P67 Sabertooth
Cooler: Noctua NH-D14
GPU: MSI GTX 580 Lightning Xtreme 3GB
RAM: 8GB G.SKill Sniper 1600 SR2
Chassis: CM Storm Trooper
PSU: Corsair HX-1050
SSD: Corsair Force 3 120GB
HDD: 1TB Seagate Barracuda + 2x250GB
Mouse: Corsair M60
Keyboard: Corsair K90
Headset: Logitech G930

I know that the D-14 is overkill for the 2300, but (fingers crossed) I’ll be sticking a new Ivy chip in there soon.

On with the pics…

I approve.

Except the SATA cable colors and extreme lack of internal lighting!

Where’d the two fans from the side go?

Thanks guyz,
Those orange sata cables were from my old build before the new motherboard, they have been all replaced with black ones. The two 120’s can be positioned either into the main of the case or out to the side. To aid in cooling I have chosen the former, though it does hinder cable management a tad.
