I built this computer back in 2014 and I upgraded the graphics card a few months ago. The 770 is being used to render Blender Cycles scenes so that I can free up my 1070 for other work.

The issue I have with this computer, more specifically the case, is the utterly inadequate hotswap bay cooling for the two 5.25" drives. That SSD fits in the back of my computer in a metal rack near the PSU which is why the temps are lower but the Seagate and WD fit at the front with no active cooling. To mitigate some of the risk, I do automated backups with Unison (using "-force") to the Hitachi drive. If the drives fail I won't lose days of stuff.

Most days the hard-drives run hotter than my CPU (slight OC to 3.7-3.8Ghz).

no the chinese children built it i just put all the parts together


I'm curious why you had to hide your drive model numbers.
because they're watching me man

ya

yes

the 750ti isn't very powerful though


I built it in 2013 and it's long overdue for an upgrade.
