I'll start this, I think we need some pics of what everyone is running.


It's new computer day at the office. Put together 4 new systems that we need. Figured I'd share the new systems that are starting to fold

2x 3570K on Asus P8H61-M LE CSM R2.0
2x 3570 on Asus P8B75-M LE
2x 4GB Kingston HyperX DDR3-1600 on each
500GB Seagate (eww)
LG DVD/RW
Corsair CX430
Bitfenix Merc Alpha Cases

I have to say, I really liked the cases at the start. They have 5 spots for 120mm fans (not a front intake however, which was shocking). They have TONS of ventilation to say the least. But then I realized how much of a PITA they are for cable management (no room behind mobo tray).

2 bottom ones up and running. Top of stack just starting and one in front is next up.

This is the last one I did, and this is literally the best cable management I could have done. Upset with it, but compared to some of the old systems we have, its squeaky clean.

I've got 10 of these bad boys going:
3750k
Intel DH77EB mobos (not my choice)
2x4gb kingston ddr3-1333
500gb seagates (surprised none have crashed)
Antec NSK 4482B w/ Earthwatts 380W
08_4.jpg
08_2.jpg

And 13 of these going as well:
2500
Intel DH67BL mobos (again, not my choice)
same specs as above
08_5.jpg

Got a few laptops and misc systems as well, not worth pics :p
Once I get the server back up, I'll get a shot of that

I'll get some pics of the personal rigs soon enough. Need to get my i7-3820 installed already!

i7 @ 2.2 My primary work computer

IMG_0792.jpg




i5 @ 2.5 My personal laptop (is this model, but not the one pictured... mine's at home)

IMG_0793.jpg




43x C2D @ 2.4 - 3.0 Computer labs

IMG_0789.jpg




42x i5 660 @ 3.33 (one of them is an i5 2500, Lenovo M91) Computer labs & classrooms - Lenovo M90

IMG_0790.jpg




4x C2D @ 1.8 - 3.0 Dell GX755/GX960 or Lenovo M58p.... hardly worth the effort to fold on these.....

IMG_0791.jpg




Lifespan is just about up for 31 of those iMacs, which means I should get i7/GT 650M replacements. Likewise, more M91's are coming in to replace older Dells. I can't wait!! The new iMac CPU's alone would probably double my production and I really have no idea how much each GT 650M could produce, especially with QRB coming to GPU.


I think I'll finally upgrade my desktop and start overclocking again... its a Tbred 2400+ lol. Probably go for an i5 & some mid-range Nvidia card. Wish I could drop $1500+ on a 4P...

Its not really a farm, right now its just my cpu, I leave the gpu out of the deal to make life easier on my psu :D

A bit of cable chaos, mainly because I have all 3 power points onboard plugged in. I normally have it in the basement, but i brought it up here because it games nicer than my 775 setup :D

This is her crunching away and keeping my feet warm :thup:

Basically just reposting from the folding rig thread earlier this year.
