i72600k x z68a x dual gtx 570hds x evga sc cooler x 1000w x samsung s27a950d ..

Hello everyone =)


Okay, so about 6 years ago I stopped building computers all together and I haven't even played a single PC game in that span. I was way too into cars, girls, partying, etc. .



























Now that I met the girl of my dreams I am settling down and getting back into computers. . .

So on {10-16-11} with the help of a good friend of mine who none of this would be possible without (Rambo1369, aka Bryan) I went ahead and ordered "Stage I" parts for my "Ballin' on a Budget Build". .







GIGABYTE GA-Z68A-D3H-B3
Intel Core i7-2600K
CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB)
EVGA SuperClocked 012-P3-1573-AR GeForce GTX 570 HD
COOLER MASTERHAF 932 Advanced
Western DigitalVelociRaptor WD3000HLHX 300GB 10000 RPM
RAIDMAXHYBRID 2 RX-630SS 630W
SonyOptiarc CD/DVD Burner
RAZER6400 dpi Mamba 2012 Elite
RAZERMegalodon. Elite 7.1 USB Gaming Headset















I had a problem with this old LG Monitor. .









And totally thought it was a bad GPU which was really bumming me out man. However, it turned out to be a bad adapter from EVGA who actually were VERY good about the whole thing. Man was I glad . Weird though, right. .









So now its Stage II time. I ordered up a few more goodies. .

As of right now {12-20-12} I am just waiting for the Stage II parts to arrive. I am rather excited about the Syncmaster and additional the other Superclocked 570 HD

Of course, I know there are going to be issues with them as Samsung and Nvidia are not co-operating. I honestly went with this Set-up for 2D gaming and homework. Kinda of a waste of awesome tech, I know.

After I get everything the plan is to start to clean her up. She is not a "Show Queen" by any stretch of the imagination. She is built to be used. But I want her to look good and have a great minimalist aura about her. Also, I have some stuff I need to learn and there is no better way than to just get in there and do it.

This is some of my past work. .

AFTER:


SOME INSPIRATION:








I am either going to go with Black/Green, Charcoal/Red, or just plain Black...







I will update as time goes on. I will try and remember to take the time to go over all the expenses associated with this build.

PROJECT: Ballin' on a Budget Build v1
GOALS: no H20, BF3 @100fps, 4.0ghz 24/7, use 3d, CLEAN wiring

I will update as time goes on. Can't wait to start playing with this lil beast. What do you guys think so far Any/all feedback appreciated

SC EG HATCH s372 580hp/350tq 17psi wg 10.4@138 2260lb w/full tank + driver (Turning up the boost to 30-40psi this year and seeing what happens)

Nice cars you got there man.

We get it your girlfriend/fiance/wife is beautiful no need to rub it in. Nice rigs. Car and computer.

Why thank you bro.

In all fairness the race car is only partially mine, and that is debatable -Long Story

And as for the FD3S RX-7.. not mine "exactly" -Another Long Story

And I have since either wrecked, sold, traded, left in Oregon, or had stolen all the other cars.

The only car I have down here in SoCal right now is my ladie's daily driven Hybrid Honda Hatchback..

























It is FOR SALE actually VERY low price.. $21,500 ($27,500 invested this year)


I am getting a 2012 Civic Si like this one. .





here is my buddy Bisi's.. Mine will be an almost identical build (without chute)










Honda is years ahead of the competition and leading the way in clean energy sports cars.

Great looking build so far, will keep watching to see the final product. Nice Civic's, makes me miss my 02 RSX Type-S

Thank you bro

But go get yourself an 05-06 Type S w/ A-spec kit

Slam it on some Buddy Club N+'s (I sell them for a VERY good deal)

Throw some awesome wheels on there (I am selling my 05-06 DC5 Type R wheels)

And call it a day

Mine was SUPER CLEAN..

Cars and computers, I like lulz

Just finished university, so money will be coming in instead of out lulz. I've been toying around with my Q9950 and stuff cuz I'm too poor to afford something new right now

I've spent all my cash on my car lawl. It's be a money pit for 5 years, but I love it. From stock to this ! Drive it every chance I get (stupid snow!). The only car I'll ever build haha.

Here's my soapbox (JDM 1992 180sx, yes it's right hand drive)):




Dyno'd @ 354whp - 16psi on a mustang dyno. Pull was in 3rd gear on my 6sp tranny and those big 11.5" wide with 275's in the rear, so expect it to be actually higher.

Planning neo-vvl head swap (same thing as vtec, but from nissan).

I am sorry about the crappy pics (taken with Samsung Galaxy S -8MP) but I am sort of in a rush. And I will let the pics speak for themselves...


















I have to admit, I am pretty stoked.

CLEAN S bro!

Wouldn't ever do another Neo swap as it just does not justify the headache/cost LOL but I am pretty picky when it comes to mods. No matter what your head will flow like poop compared to a B or K series. However, do NOT let that stop you haha. Not all mods can be "justified"

Let's check out the adjustment for tilt. .









Why or how you would need anything BEYOND that is BEYOND me LOL.

Would I prefer a swivel? Yes. Does it matter to me? No. Not one iota.

Is the fit and finish clean as hell? Yes. Samsung FTW at this point.

But let's play with it for a while and see what we think of it hahaha.

My only complaint so far, ( I do not even care how much this thing costs its just looks so awesome ) is that the glasses are about as stylish as these outfits...









Everything else looks really, really good. And I haven't even plugged it in yet LOL.
















I have some stuff to do but bet your butt I will be online tonight slaying kids on our server...

So make sure you add me if you are a HARDCORE guy like myself. Anything besides HC is just.. Girly LOL.

c4sauceBOSS is my name, dishing out maaaddd destruction is game

Here are a few more pics . .

Christmas in Cali. . .

Okay well I am back now..

Please help.

What should I do now? Step by step instructions would be awesome at this point. I would like to check out the 3D stuff (3DTV) but do not even know where to start.

Also, does anyone have any settings for this Monitor?

MOAR PICS

Razer is TOP NOTCH, no doubt. Always is. Let's see how long this keyboard lasts LOL. It feels so so gooood on the fingers. Looks to DIE for. Tricky as heck to get out of the darn package though. Make sure you open on the floor and not on the table.


























Again guys, sorry for the lousy pics but you have to admit the Samsung Galaxy S takes decent pics for a phone hah. . Samsun PWNS Apple!

Bad news for me . . SICK AS A DOG!








Really sucks because I have a lot of presents coming in today.

My HTPC build arrives and I really need to put it together but I can barely get out of bed. I get another 570, and my SuperCooler, and a bunch of stuff I really wanted to play around with today.

Okay OCers. . I'm still sick as hell but that is NOT gonna stop me from living the california party rock dream

It's 75, sunny as hell and look at all the new goodies the UPS men brought me !






I still need to get some stuff from the local Computer shop before I swap heat sinks and throw my other 570 in there.

And I really need to get my wiring figured out. I am going to have to make make sense of that rats nest and take some measurements so my boy DOA can line me up with those super clean harnesses he makes.








And after I get that stuff figured out I will then be able to have finally be ready to start cranking up the BOOST.

Here are some MOAR pics too. . CRAP! I just sneezed all over my $130 keyboard and $600 monitor *** =(



















I'll be back later and thanks for all the welcome gents =)

Sick monitor dude !

How is it ? Might be picking one up if they are as sweet as they look.

Oh hey whats up spanx

This monitor is super Rad. If you have Nvidia GPU and want 3D then I would spend the extra couple hundred on an Asus or Acer that has 3D Vision 2 or whatever its called.

And even with CFM's considered there is still a myriad of different equations to throw around. Also, I totally left out the F series here check this out. For daily driver status the VE swap will certainly benefit your build. Neither of the two cars were daily drivers, they were drift cars. So streetability was not high on the list LOL.


That thing flows like BUTTER. And they DO drive it around town sometimes.
