I organized my setup. RATE MY SETUP!!!

So, I finally decided to clean up my PC setup. I hope you all enjoy and make sure to rate my setup. I'll also take any advice anyone has to improve my setup. Thanks.


EDIT: I completely forgot to list my parts.

So, I have an Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 @2.5GHz. It isn't the best, but it works!

I've got a MSI Radeon HD 6570 1GB graphics card.

The motherboard is a HP Compaq 6000 Pro Microtower (I think)

I have two PSUs. One of them is the stock one (320watt) the other is a PSU out of my other PC (240watt). (The 240watt PSU is only used for my laptop HDD and my 250GB Desktop HDD)

As for storage, I have a 1TB Seagate Barracuda Desktop HDD, a 500GB Seagate Laptop HDD, a 250GB Desktop HDD, and a 160GB Seagate Barracuda Desktop HDD.

Oh, and I have a powerful fan on top of the 320watt PSU that just blows on me. lol

why no case? you can easily bump the gpu while its on and cause it to pop out potentially causing shorting... You can get a cheap case for like $20

@Roamin64 , not at all. lol

@Captain_N , I have literally $10 in cash and that's it. I could probably persuade my friend into letting me use $10 from his PayPal, but I am hoping to get a better GPU instead of a case.

oh i see. well perhaps you can find some pcs in the trash. i find them from time to time. I use them mostly for parts. intel core 2 quads and amd phenom x4 should be getting trashed by now being 12 years old. Maybe even some 1st or 2nd gen i7s

just go on craigslist and look at computers and computer parts. or facebook marketplace. usually you can ask them to bump it down to ridiculous low prices because usually they know theyre being ridiculous for what theyre asking to sell garbage.

U really do need a case despite being a hazard for that matter the amount of Dust and possible ESD damage you can cause alone.

Well... the problem is, this motherboard isn't shaped like the others. It has a weird cutout in it and it olnly fits in the original case (says the person that gave it to me).
 
MrMcTiller
Yeah. There is a desktop hdd on the bottom, a lot of cardboard, then the laptop hdd. this is because the sata power connectors are too far apart for the laptop hdd to sit flat on the desktop hdd.
 
MrMcTiller
The other 2 hdds are stacked under the motherboard. Lol. The one closest to the motherboard is in a static shielding bag. Lmao
