I've got a desktop PC and not afraid to admit it thread

Cubeputer
Biggest problem I've had with it was the fact it didn't come with enough SATA power plugs and most drives don't come with Molex plugs any more.

Before you mention the dust I do have a Miele 2000W vac that once sucked a blade off an MSI 970 graphics card.
I just don't use it that much
Real men do not dust their computers, if it overheats just undervolt it until you finally get around to building a new one. I just don't use it that much

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Metro-DataVac-Pro-Electri... or just a can of compressed air (your wife may be happier if you use that outdoors...)I last upgraded it a couple of years ago. It's an Asus Rampage V Extreme, with an i7 5820K, 32GB of DDR4, Samsung 500GB 960 Evo as the boot drive and 1080 GTX. It's currently running at 4.2 GHz (just because it can). Watercooling is mainly EK with some Aquacomputer bits.
The case is a massive Silverstone TJ-07 that I bought about ten years ago. It's on it's third or fourth system.

I had one of those SLI blocks back when I had a couple of 580s. I messed up the fitting, was in a rush, turned it on and it leaked, destroying both 580s. I bought a dual chip 590 to replace it. I still have it, but it's sitting in a drawer. What use could anyone have for a watercooled 590 GTX these days?captain_cynic said:

Real men carry on overcooking it until the dust burns off and use the top of the tower as a grill.. Gandahar said:

My computer is really crap to look at but it keeps the wife from prying too much. This way I can keep in upgrading regularly and it still looks the same as it has for the last 10 years!

Literally just finished building my first one!
Nice job! Especially considering what you were first looking at in the other threadI remember my first PC build, it had to be a beige tower case... because that's all you could get. Second PC (first proper gaming PC) was in a black case, I'm old, but not that old.
