A little bit of the story

I was initially going with a Sapphire HD5850 which i got on a great deal but i sold that ahead for a decent chunk of change and picked up a GTX 470 on another great deal

this process really helped me appreciate taking my time to build a system being over zealous never helps the cost of your system.

well anyways i have all the pics downloaded and resized will be uploading as i get home and should have those up soon after. The reason for this build was to run FFXIV at a minimal cost and minimal size. With the vulcan i really got the chance to make the minimal size come true

... well anyways i was a huge fan of FFXI and me and a bunch of my buddies played alot! well the name of my character was LittleDevil but that seems a bit too childish for my character in FFXIV so im gonna be naming my system LittleDevil

hehe so what do you think is a better case? it must fit in the compartment and must be a mATX case not an ATX case that can have a mATX mobo in it and why do u say this case is not a good case?? some explanation would be nice

 

[skyneon]

Very nice! I like how you matched the color. Orange/black very nice! Enjoy!

With that case you either love it or hate it.

Awesome build, really love the black and orange.

What do you mean by better case? It doesn't get more awesome than the NZXT Vulcan

Oh and dude that made LittleDevil, nice build. Looks awesome.

 

[newpc]

now thats what u call a littledevil

 

[xxbassplayerxx]

While this build is in no way a letdown, with all this talk of LittleDevil and phase, I really thought you were getting one of these.

Regardless, this build is definitely awesome.

yea didnt want to put in the effort to change the color of the front light so i went ahead with the black and orange theme

its pretty awesome and it holds quite alot of hardware for such a small system

haha sorry to disappoint you guys but im glad you liked it

i try and make my builds as clean as possible and damn is the Vulcan really easy to work the wires around the back of the case.

definitely plan on enjoying it

you gotta be kidding me if your saying the CM 690 II looks better than the vulcan

its so plain and boring

but to each his own i like how it looks and i wanted a mATX case not a mid tower anyways.

thanks alot AFQ yea man im missing the modding game back in PK aswell but had to move on man... im glad to see i left a mark

anyways here comes the big update

Setup Phase Part 2

i got my monitor yesterday and well it was cracked :O it was horrible i didnt even know what to do i quickly went to the seller on ebay and submitted an RMA on his site and as i did that i remembered that they had the P2770Hs for $300 at costco so i grabbed my car drove over to 2 costcos searching for it and found it at the second costco... so here are the pics

(no pics of the broken screen was too much in shock to take pics i packed it up and put it aside asap)

the box is awesome

contents

setting up the stand

done

monitor ready

damn its slim

got my 360 setup

my setup

i also got my Logitech G35s in the mail and got em for a great price

G35!

i love the Touch of Color of samsungs couldnt take a stable pic due to the lighting

fan error is only there because i dont have anything plugged into the cpu fan 4 pin

another look at my setup with everything done

a look at my temps... my room temp was around 25-27C so pretty happy overall

and after having installed everything i was ready to go to install THE GAME i made this system for

here it is! FFXIV!

i love square

limited edition with the game a diary( i dont know why

) and a security token i have something similar for work hehe pretty intense

security token - it should be easier to just use the code received rather than a password (well see)

recommended system req:

OS -> Check
CPU -> Check
RAM -> Check
HDD space -> Check
GPU -> check
and the rest -> CHECK!

w00t im good to go

its got a suprisingly intuitive leveling system which is VERY different from anything ive seen before which adds a bit of puzzlement to the game but i like it like that hehe

 

[afunyun]

Those are the highest system specs I've ever seen on a games "Recommmended" list.
