My new Ivy bridge setup

Finally after 2-3 weeks of buying all the stuff from newegg and amazon, yesterday I assembled my new PC. Some parts I kept from my old PC. Still have my corsair h50 for now. Might get H100 with a new cabinet.

After assembling. Thats the best cable management I could do in my Antec 300.


OCZ Agility 3 240gb for Raid0 and the 480 gb for my old inspiron 1520.




Gskil 2133Mhz ram-16gigs


10.5 tb of hdd. I could only use the 4 2tb hdds as there is no space in cabinet and all sata ports usedupo.


My trusted Asus xonar D2/pm from my old PC


EVGA GTX 680 sc+ with backplate for SLI


Intel i7 3770k


Asus P8z77-v Pro


To power them all Antec HCG 900




Also My game collection. Havent played most of them because of time constraints.

Will add a pic of my bluray collection soon.

Edit-- Updated with a few pictures of my bluray collection
 
Congrats... awesome rig!!

It's great to see the Antec 300 can still hold all the hardware you throw at it, amazing little case that is. :)
 
Its not about the 900W, infact I am suggesting a 850 W unit instead. Its the quality of the components and overall build of the PSU. The 850W is head and shoulders above the 900W HCG. So if you can please do change it out.
 
Impressive config there,many congratulations.
With all due respect, that config screams for a better chassis and cable management.
With 2 of those monster cards running inside your Chassis, ventilation should be good.

Anyway,enjoy your new beast!

Thanks I just used m iphone4 for pictures. I do have panasonic fz18 though I rarely use it.
 
Brilliant specs minus that chassis. Congrats!

PS: Are you settled in the US? Wondering how would you lurk this rig back to India, just in case! :)

Thanks I was thinking the same thing and that's the only reason I haven't bought a new case. I can Sell the case and few hdds, speakers, corsair h50 and bring the rest in semi built state. It souldnt weigh a lot except for the psu. I am actually worried about bringing my bluray collection. I will probably throw all the cases and put the discs in cd covers. All those moves take a lot of space and I have bought a lot of movies since I took those pictures

Nice rig doc! Some more time with the cabling will give good results.

I can try one more time when I open it for cleaning in a few weeks. I was really tired the day I decided to assemble this as I had to disassemble my old PC first for the cabinet, clean and the assemble the new one. It took a few hrs.

The HCP series is made by delta.

I think there is a PSU review on TE by someone which has a link for checking the OEM builder of a power supply. I think the HCG series is build by Antec when I checked but I don't remember.
