Dabeavis

If I built one that's in a smaller case I might, but a mid tower that's potentially going to have an LCS is unlikely. If I really had to I'd try to fit it in a luggage bag and line it with a towel or blanket.

If you were not limited by cash, skills and/or resources, what would your ultimate rig(s) look like and/or what would be put in it or use it for. Here's one I made up in PCPartsPicker as an exaggerated 4K-ready setup. Not on the list would be a custom LCS with an EK Fury X waterblock since Tt only has VGA blocks for 980 & 970 Strixes.

While it doesn't require that powerful of a PC to run the latest fighters and the more intensive emulators, the real money would go to the rest of the hardware like the internal monitor, the buttons and joysticks, and especially the cabinet itself.

I've gotten access to it and played it a while back when The Lost Vikings (I hope there are more Retro Blizzard heroes and maps, Blackthorne and perhaps something from Rock n' Roll Racing would be a good start). My current PC's too weak to run it smoothly (Infinite Crisis is even worse) so I'll wait until my build's done to re-visit it.

240mm for the most part since that's the most by build can fit at the top.

For me it'll likely be a hot-swap drive bay, I will never have enough drives to take up the all the bays in a Core x9 (Which has a crapload of bays that can even fit twice as many SSD's) and I don't need to swap drives at all (Maybe only in the case I'm given a bunch of them to wipe with DBAN) to need them outside of it. I don't really need multiple OSes either since I see no advantage in Mac or Linux versus Windows as far as gaming goes (rather there are significant disadvantages) outside of maybe lighter footprints, and I don't really need to go back to Windows 7 when I have 8.1 Pro installed.

This is mainly a suggestion that I already made on Facebook, but after seeing the Tt Challenger Prime Keyboard and Talon Mouse I think that a similarly priced over-ear headset around the $20-30 range should complete the budget gaming suite. I mainly thought this since the cheapest over-ear Tt has is the original SHOCK for $50, which is rather steep for my tastes. I know there's plenty of headsets for that price already availible, but I'd kindly wait for one that has the battle dragon logo on it. It doesn't have to, but It would be nice to see some same sort of things (although the common headset features such as braided cables and foldable earphones would be enough) the C. Prime and Talon have like color-changeable LED lighting and such.

Nah, my Uncle is looking to get me some sort of liquid cooling system (possibly a DIY loop or something similar) for my build anyway from what he told me last week. Even if he doesn't I might get just an air cooler instead.

If price was not a factor whatsoever Mechanical for sure considering I can understand the beauty of micro switches, but since it is one in reality I'm keeping to membranes and/or plungers since the majority of them are well above $50 (especially red backlits which will cost even more if you want a full sized board)

In this case it'd be design and sound/mic quality, my preferences are a mix of those and price, for instance my Teknmotion Yapster albeit a pretty generic headset is a great over-ear headset for around $20 or less.

Dota 2 and Strife for sure, have also been playing Grezzo 2 which is a bizarre and extremely explicit Italian Doom mod that makes Postal look tame, a title that no game could really grasp otherwise.

I got my Water 3.0 Ultimate today (pictured below sitting atop the laptop that's taking the backseat for my build) but I might as well get this off my chest, as I said in my last post the radiator is too big for my case and didn't realize this until after I won it, in fact for it to fit I'd have to go about getting one of the several compatible Full Towers which is a significant price jump (~$50 to well over $100). Even if size was not a factor an enthusiast-level water cooler for what it goes for would be overkill and not of much use on a non-overclockabe intel CPU like the one I'm getting when Stock is a perfectly viable option. So to put it nicely, I will surely put this towards the purchase of Thermaltake accessories that will be of greater use to me in the future.

I probably won't have mine done up like a Japanese semi (Where's your light-up trucks 'merica?, heck they have a high class KFC unlike us! http://sociorocketnewsen.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/kenta7.jpg?w=580&h=436) since I'm mostly going to paint the Zeon Logo on the mesh and use red LED fans (the V3 AMD comes with one, but I'll likely put more in), so performance takes priority for me in that respect. I imagine the most I'll do if I could is give a tower a custom paintjob or put it in the shell of a console like this one used an NES.

This is just a thread for discussing any anime we are interested in, have watched, want to watch, or whatever else applies. I am easily a fan of classic anime including Kinnikuman, Fist of the North Star, Lupin the Third, Space Adventure Cobra, Ashita no Joe, Otokojuku, and Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 among others. I'm mainly inclined to classic franchises because I tend to feel MOST anime nowadays is too reliant on or deliberate with their use of fanservice and overly annoying characters compared to back then, thus I tend to avoid most modern animes but direct iterations/spinoffs of an older series (ex. Golgo 13 and JoJo's) or ones consisting primarily of adults (ex. Black Lagoon). This is an image I once made by tracing over existing images of characters and putting them in one massive group pic, all of these except for Mazinger (waiting for better subs to be available online) I have watched at least one full episode of. Unfortunately I lost most of the individual images of each character so I can't really expand the roster without doing it all over again (It's not too difficult aside from Kenshiro and Gundam). I did do one recently of Moguro Fukuzou from Laughing Salesman (Which is my current avatar) but I'm not sure If I'll bother re-making the rest. From left to right...Kitaro (GeGeGe no Kitaro), Ryotsu Kankichi (Kochikame), Mazinger Z, Kenshiro (Fist of the North Star), Lupin III, Astro Boy/Atom, Cobra (Space Adventure Cobra), RX-78 Gundam (Mobile Suit Gundam), Kinnikuman, Cutey Honey, Seiya (Saint Seiya / Knights of the Zodiac).

I'll be using stock or similar Air Cooling normally since the i5-4590 I'm getting can't be overclocked.

My upcoming one is the Red Comet which is a common nickname Char Aznable from Mobile Suit Gundam is refferred to as due to the red mechs he pilots that are allegedly 3x faster than their normal counterparts (which is appropriate considering I haven't really used a PC with a Dedicated GPU in years). If I was to make future builds they would likely be successors such as "Red Comet Mk.II" and "Red Comet Ground-Type"

Price, For me it's about $30 tops for a mouse seeing that I don't need premium gimmicks and features for anything above that. At least 2 Side Buttons are near essential for me, driver software and tilt wheels aren't crucial but have been one of the reasons I like the Logitech M510 I have (Not a gaming mouse, but it'll work more than well for me at the moment since I needed a new mouse at that time and Walmart didn't have squat for mice otherwise). This can also apply to plenty of other things outside of mice let alone peripherals.

Two main chambers, lower and upper.

That would be my answer as well, I think the only reason I'd ever go bigger than that is for those rare few PC games that support split-screen (Serious Sam 3, Dungeon Defenders, Left 4 Dead, Sonic & All Stars Racing, etc...) but then that would be more difficult to carry over somewhere unless I can find a vacant TV that size.

Digitally-controlled Power Supply. I can always use a good PSU, not that the TR2-600 I'm settling for is bad but a sturdier power ceiling is always good to have.

Wow, looks like I got myself a water cooler to consider using for my upcoming first build or future one since I was settling for stock.

I was originally going for a dual-channel G.Skill Ripjaws X until I saw that the single 8GB stick went for cheaper at Micro Center, looks like I'll go back to it. Also would like to use the Water 3.0 Ultimate in my build, but that would require getting a full tower for over $100 and seeing as I probably won't overclock to begin with that wouldn't be worth the price jump to me.

I have been mostly looking cases in terms of ventilation, color options, and capabilities for expansion.

After having to deal with an Acer laptop and an HP desktop with their dated dual cores and integrated GPUs for close about 5 years, I decided almost 2 years ago to build my own computer with some assistance from my uncle. I've slowly but surely got most of the parts, settling for some temporary cheapo parts to get it up and running along the way. After the cheapo parts, I got a smaller case and upgraded most of the parts to better ones like an i5-6500, RX 480 and an H170 ATX motherboard. The name Fighting Computer is a reference to Warsman (shown above) from an 80's wrestling anime called Kinnikuman (Which is the predecessor to what's known in the west as Ultimate Muscle). I originally called this build Red Comet as a reference to Mobile Suit Gundam, but there's far more gray/black than red here and I'm more of a Kinnikuman fan anyway.

I'd kindly get the Knucker under normal circumstances, but I found a deal on the Challenger Pro that I simply can't refuse given it's still there for a good while longer. Even then I want to get an LED-backlit keyboard in general, perhaps a backlit version of the Knucker could would be the perfect answer given the LEDs don't jump up the price too much.
