I never posted the build I actually ended up taking to college with me. I just realized that so I shot some pictures so I could share. This is after about 18 months of zero maintenance, zero cleaning, nothing. Photos are right off my iPhone 6, no editing, but you can see how clean everything still is. Yes it's dusty, but hey for 18 months and 3 dorm rooms that's not bad at all.
 













 
Hardware I think is all listed in my sig, feel free to post feedback. I do need to clean I know, also need to change the water out and all just haven't had the time or motivation yet lol.

    Hai thar!
     
    That system is gorgeous!!! I love the lighting you put in there my friend!
    Very nice and clean too, how does that GF110-375-A1 handle games? I guess it's performance is very close to that of a GTX 680?
     
    Anyways also make a post here of it, so it gets more publicity and it would be cool to have your new build in the MR +1 list as well

    Thanks! The lighting is just from the fans actually, no supplemental lights. The card handles games beautifully, maxes everything on 1080P or 3K with ease. (I play on 1080P or 3K depending on which game it is.) Performance I would say is pretty close to a GTX 680. The only game I don't play on max is Star Citizen. Check this thread out, as you can see at high OC's it can trade blows with a stock 680. http://forums.evga.com/Post-your-Valley-benchmark-scores-here-m1858694.aspx
     
    My 24/7 clockspeeds are:
    CPU: 4826MHz
    RAM: 2100MHz
    GPU Core: 1000MHz
    GPU RAM: 2400MHz
     
    I posted my old rig in that thread, will update with my new one.

    Nice rig !




     
    Thanks! Plan is to ride it out on current hardware until A) Star Citizen releases, and/or B) I graduate with my Bachelor's degree. (May 2017!!)
     
    Assuming I can secure a decent job when I graduate I plan to buy a few things....
    • Top End DSLR equivalent to Canon 5D Mark III and a set of lenses. This will be a graduation gift to myself if I graduate with a job. May also put money here to a set of Sennheiser HD-800 or equivalent.
    • Lotus Exige S-IPS - will be putting money aside to save for this. Plan to buy it within the next 4 years, already have a decent amount put toward it.
    • Honda Accord V6 Coupe (w/ all options - will trade in my current 2012 Civic+cash for this)
    • Macbook Pro - For Business, school if 100% necessary to finish my undergrad. (Might have to pull money from the Exige S account for this if I 100% have to buy it.
    • New Desktop build, 3 screens, etc etc.
     
    It's possible I might upgrade the CPU/GPU before then, but not 100% certain yet. So far I have no issues running most games maxed except SC.
