Far from optimal but at least an MSI vga SLi setup so we accept it. Removed the bold type in the post though.

Does a brand-X mainboard qualify as an MSI system?  :think:

Sorry about the bold. I meant to remove it from the copy/paste. My bad.
Would it be more optimal if I had a MSI board and Asus SLI? :p
Disclaimer: I'm not much of a brand loyalist to be honest. I tend to buy the best bang for buck components that are available to me at the time. This time around it was Asus for the board and MSI for the GPUs.

;D No, would be worse. Optimal would be all MSI. None the less your setup pic is accepted so no need for discussing :cool:

Took me some time to find this. My only MSI item is a Wind u100, which in this picture it is lower right. It has Windows 7 Pro 32bit and was transferring files over the LAN with that other computer there which has Windows 98 on it. :)

Very nice!!

SegaStep, are those normal fans on top of your CPU radiator?  The picture makes them look HUGE.
They are not normal! They are from a server cabinet! very effective! But alittle noisy :p .. But speakers drown out the sound of them ;)

Sorry I removed the image of just the Asus screen as that really doesn't qualify as an MSI machine. The rest is  :biggthumbsup:

I build this small office PC for a customer this morning


Looks great, practical and also beautiful. MSI does make the prettiest boards by far.

I'll play along!

Here is mine. It sits on a shelf for no reason other than my monitor cables aren't long enough to reach on the floor. I usually have the door on so I don't have to hear it...but that would make for a pretty boring picture. The motherboard is indeed a MSI 990fxa-gd80v2, but I made some modifications to cool down the VRMs, Mosfets, and NB. I like my computers quiet, so I run very low case fan speeds, thus the mods.







Also, if you don't have Eyefinity...you're doing it wrong. Best thing since SSDs.

My 1st custom built machine. I am 17 and I was quite on low budget (was saving money over a year, but I think it was not enough to make anything better than I have right now)

Day


Night


Specs:
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
i5 4670 @ 3.8ghz (Turbo Boost)
Corsair 4GB RAM 1600mhz (couldn't afford to get x2)
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler
PSU is visible on the pics
3xAerocool Shark Organe Led (nice airflow, but a bit loud on 100%), 2x corsair (stock with case) and 1xcheapest red led molex connector.
Samsung 120gb 840 SSD
very old storage: Samsung 7.2k RPM 80gb (over 9 years old)
Corsair obsidian 300r case

Forgot to mention:
ASUS HD 7770 1gb. (don't like AMD, but at this price was giving me best option compared to nVidia)

Sry for the quality of pics... 10 years old camera :)

"This system runs at a cool 65C while playing the newest and most demanding games at highest settings possible."

Oh dear haha :) You're not human then.. Humans' temperatures are around 36.6*C :p

Figured this was the most fun way to post something. ;)
