ASUS P8P67 LE Motherboard
GSkill RipJaw 8GB 1600MHz RAM

Corsair Force GT 90GB Solid State Drive
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB Hard Drive
Corsair 600T SE

I give it a 8/10. Pretty solid build. How do you like the Push Pull on the 212 + ? I am thinking of buying another fan to do that.

Very nice build setup. I have the same computer case and love it to death. I actually replaced the stock case fans though. I got a better front fan around the same exact size. I replaced the top fan for two smaller fans, which work very well compared to the one big top fan.

My cable management is horrible though and yours looks pretty good. I wish I could upgrade my graphics card, but I recently upgraded from a 5770 to a 6970 and I will probably skip the 7xxx series as of right not I can run almost everything at max. My next upgrade is probably going to be a whole new computer to be honest. I want to go Intel.

The only thing I am disappointed about with your setup (as I am with most setups that I see, is the desk. I know it is typically not the first thing someone thinks about for a setup, but if you had room I would have skipped the 7950 and gone with a 6950 or 6970 and used the extra cash on a decent sized desk.

9/10 Build rating.

6/10 overall set up
Needs a good desk
Possibly a new monitor
I would get a mechanical keyboard personally

I like push pull. It does accumulate a bit more dust but whatever. I orginally wanted to cooler master sickleflow fans though

It cost me about 1.3K when I first built it, thats including the monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc. But I've upgraded with some stuff like the 7950 OC and the 90GB SSD, and some fans, so a bit more. (The 7950 was $470 off Newegg... >__< )

Why would I need a new monitor? This ones fine. I love it. I was actually gonna get two more for eyefinity...
And I bought this small desk because my room is super small. I wouldn't be able to fit a bigger desk in here. I'm going to college next year and bringing this with me...so I'd have to get used to small spaces anyways.


Thanks for the comments though guys. Its appreciated.

My thing with the desk is that there just isn't much space for anything extra. To me (I may be wrong) but it looks like the monitor is pretty small, possibly 15"-17"? And personally I have never been a fan of Asus monitors.

As far as going away to college, I myself lived in a dorm for a year and they are more spacious that you would think. Especially if you get creative with it, there are many things you can do with a dorm to make more room. Dorms typically come with a relatively large desk (bigger then the one that you have currently), as well as a dresser and a smaller desk add on with drawers. I no longer have pictures of my set up but we managed to fit a futon an a gaming set up/entertainment center type deal on top of my desk.

I would wait to see what type of stuff you are given in your dorm, you may be able to come up with a really cool setup.

My monitor is 23.6 inches as said in the video. But I absolutely love my monitor. Your set up sound quite interesting by the way. And I'll see what I can do in August when I move into my dorm.

It seems a lot smaller in the video. My sound system is plugged into my TV right now because I am watching a show, so I wasn't able to listen to the sound in the video. My current setup is a lot better, I am currently living with my grandparents, just got a new desk because my old one couldn't handle everything on it, my desk right now is still to small for everything, I have another night stand type piece of furniture for my subwoofer and to hold dvds.

I just like having a lot of room for my stuff so when I see such a small desk I feel like I wouldn't be able to move.
