ZeMomiji Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) AHA!!! So Momiji is finally working on a new computer, so anyone know of falcon northwest? Well basically they are like Alienware but with more customs and hardware and whatnot as well as a bit cheaper, they have something called a fragbox, I have a HUGE thing for saving space, like literally my room has a Japanese theme, everything is efficient, nothing occupies too much space, it never gets too hot, you could fall asleep on the floor~ and it would still be comfy~ So a fragbox~~ a fragbox is basically a very fancy lanbox PC with a microATX motherboard inside, now what I really love about it is that unlike many microATX lan shoeboxes, it can actually fit big video cards! A GTX580 would fit like a glove and still have water cooling because of its efficient design, as a general rule I always tell myself if you are going for one of those you NEED watercooling or you will die!!! DEATH!! But Im getting an i5 CPU mostly because its like-ish i7 performance with a billion times less temp, you can OC it with stock fan a bit, but I wont need to OC it with its speed, well maybe I will boost it a bit, 3.2 max maybe~ At the moment, no water coolage because that is another 300 bucks I think Il have to invest and I hear stock fan keeps it under 60c on full load, my air conditioner goes at a minimum power of 32 celcius, so in my mind thats how Im meaturing the intensity of that temp. Now my issue with this sexy fragbox is that the thing costs 2,000USD average, its beautiful but its just like Alienware and their overpriced shiny poop(no offense if u have one), we can make one better than that for 1000! But thats the thing I have picked up the hardware I will be using but I just cant find a lan shoebox case that will be as efficient as the fragbox! I ebay'd for the case but cant seem to find it. Can you give me some pointers? Looking for a small microATX lanbox case that will still fit a GTX 580 or anything big and manly like that while still keeping the temp down like the fragbox. I take my PC around alot but I refuse to get a laptop, REFUSE!!!!!!! Mostly due to electromagnetic leackage that makes my mexican jumping beams crazy, long story~ and also the horrors of possible overheating and lack of upgradeabiliteh~ heck I would have even resorted to a Mac, I like them just for how much room it saves and Id carry it ina case, you have to admit, Macs are extremely simple and efficient, not to mention sexy but they are overpriced by about double the price(exaggerating) with no upgradeability dead-end and they dont offer much stuff to order it with either~, atleast not enough to be the sexiest, when was the last time you heard someone says OMG YUS Im so gonna get a Mac to play Crysis! Crysis sucks by the way I beat both of them although Im sure they can run it fine nowadays actually. But yea lanbox or I keel you. If you can help me find a lanbox case or any help in general I will love you long time~! Momiji's future setup, I will also point out that Im trying not to get past 1,000USD, if I do its no big deal but just trying. The names have the links to the actual item at newegg. CPU Intel Core i5-2400 Sandy Bridge 3.1GHz (3.4GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 2000 BX80623I52400 Mommyboard ASUS Maximus IV Gene-Z/GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 MOOORE POWEEER!!!!!!! RAM G.SKILL Sniper Low Voltage Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Speed seems ok-ish plus its highly overclockable I hear. SSD HD Intel 510 Series (Elm Crest) SSDSC2MH120A2K5 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) Getting two of these for Raid 0 Plus I have an old 250gb HDD laying around for storing my extras and questionables~ PSU http://CORSAIR 750w 750w, seems more than enough to me, I dont like to do SLI or crossfire, due to wallet and because its a lanbox. I want it I want it I want it!!!!!!!! ^(O,..,O)^ http://www.falcon-nw.com/sites/default/files/fragbox_porschesilver_new-hi.jpg Stuff Momiji has in hand right now~ Keyboard and mouse = Alienware, dont judge me A monitor its a monitor, 1080p, you look gorgeous on it. Extra 250gb HDD for storing my extras and questionables And a gtx570, reason I mentioned the 580 is because Im trying to use the biggest videocard size as the lencght I will need for future upgrades. ^(O,..,O)^ 550w PSU from xfx, I wish I didnt have to get a new one. And thats about everything I can think of, kyah. Edited February 16, 2012 by ZeMomiji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
