LAN Optimised house

Being still a big fan of the LAN party, yes kids it is more fun to play with your friends in person, this guys efforts struck a chord with me.

LAN Optimised house

Knowing what some of my nerdy friends are like, I would be more inclined just to have the monitors setup.  Nerds love their own rigs, forcing them to use the same hardware might lead to arguments and the throwing of things.

New PC Time

Hi I am Borris and I am addicted to Technology

Much to the disdain of my fellow posters, I am always upgrading my PC. Always, I am the worst or best kind of consumer depending on which camp you subscribe to. I have recently gone thru a minimalism phase. I set myself the challenge of making my main gaming PC a small mini-itx box that still had enough grunt to drive my 30" monitor.

Spec sheet is below
Zotac Z68ITX-A-E Z68 MINI-ITX WIFI LGA1155
Intel Core i7 2600K Processor LGA1155 3.4GHz CPU
Corsair Vengeance CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3
Antec KUHLER H2O 620 CPU cooler
OCZ 60G Vertex II E Series SSD x2
Gigabyte GTX590 Dual-GPU 3G PCI Express
SilverStone SG07B-W w 600W PSU Mini ITX case

What was the main drive behind this? Well I was sick at looking at a massive clunky tower. And I had recently found myself enjoying the old school lan. So I wanted a machine that was portable.

The next phase of this project is a custom paint job and trying to make it quieter. Hey I don't like noise either!
