Bro Cave: Notech4u

Today’s bro cave comes to us from Jake, a graphic design student whose setup features a beastly gaming machine and a nice little home server that packs a punch as well. With both of these rigs powered on at full bore, I’m betting he doesn’t have to use his heater much during the winter…

 

Hey, I’m Jake, but on the Internets I go by Notech4u or 16inchRichard. I’m studying graphic design at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, and that’s my life. I built both of my rigs with that in mind, not to mention gaming. A lot of gaming.

 

Rig #1 (Nickname: Layla)

Case: Corsair T600
Mobo: Asus Sabertooth X79
CPU: Intel i7-3930K (overclocked to 4.0 GHz)
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100
RAM: 32GB Corsair DDR3-1600
GPU: 2x GeForce GTX 680 (SLI w/ 180 MHz overclock)
PSU: Corsair HX1050
SSD: 60GB Corsair Force Series 3 SSD
HDD: 1.5 TB Seagate 7200RPM
Fans: All Aero Cool (Green LED)
Monitor: Acer A221HQV 22″ LCD
Keyboard: HP Wireless Elite V2
Mouse: Microsoft Laser Mouse 7000 (yeah yeah, trolololol)

Rig #2 (Nickname: Steve)

Case: Rosewill DESTROYER Black LAN
Mobo: Asus M4A87TD EVO
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 T1090 BE (overclocked to 4.0 GHz)
CPU Cooler: Zalman CNPS9900 NT
RAM: 8GB Corsair DDR3-1600
GPU: XFX Radeon HD 6870
PSU: Corsair TX650
HDD: 2x Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001 3TB
Fans: All Aero Cool (Green LED)
Monitor: Acer A221HQV 22″ LCD
Keyboard: Alternate from other comp
Mouse: Alternate from other comp

I built Steve back in early 2010, but he now serves as my home server, and Layla is my new gaming and rendering machine. I have a YouTube channel that I do graphics on, and I’ve done a lot of graphics for YouTubers like Ernest Le. Feel free to ask me for graphics on my channel, and add me on Steam (Notech4u) or League of Legends (16inchRichard). I love to play, and I’ll play with anyone. KBMOD!

Brandon started his PC gaming days playing Doom II (IDDQD/IDKFA for life) and has been hooked on online gaming since the original Starsiege: Tribes. The way to his heart is through proper grammar, corn dogs, and cookie cake.
