I like all the pictures of all these crazy homemade rigs and wall-mounted arrays, but I'd like to see what you guys have running in normal computer cases. What I like to call "Living room miners" or "Office miners". I'm sure there are quite a few who didn't post in the other thread simply because they don't want to post their case among these rack-mounted monsters, so I figured I'd try to start another.
My case isn't spectacular, but it has to be nice since I use it in my living room
CoolerMaster CM690 case fitted with 6 coolermaster fans and soundproofing foam. Intel Core2 Quad Q8400 @ 3.8Ghz Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 CPU Cooler 8GB Crucial Ballistix @1066Mhz OC'ed to 1200Mhz ASUS P5Q Pro Turbo motherboard 2x Radeon HD 5830's crossfired overclocked GPUs @975Mhz Mem @320Mhz ---->Top card is Sapphire 5830 Xtreme, bottom card is ASUS EAH-5830 DirectCU. The ASUS is much better! Thermaltake 750W modular PSU Scythe fan controller RAID 0 with 3x Spinpoint F4's (320GB*3=960GB) 250GB Spinpoint F4 1TB External eSATA
GPU temps 67-72*C
CPU Temp 40*C
Very nice and quiet, even with all my fans maxed. GPU fans run at 60% for my top card, 50% for the bottom one.
All my intake fans have washable filters to keep the dust out. Works great, the inside is still spotless!
