Corsair 500D RGB SE Gaming Rig
This is my personal computer that I built for myself. It has seen many upgrades since I first built it several years ago. It features tons of RGB components including the liquid cooler and the graphics card. The motherboard also has RGB lighting on it. While I don’t normally use most of the lights, I like to have the option should I be in the mood for it. This build contains an amount of cables bordering on the absurd. It was very challenging to organize and manage the cables and keep it looking as clean as possible. The fans have two cables each. The liquid cooler has four cables. The fan controller and RGB controller each have a couple cables in addition to the fan cables connected to them. It was a tough job but with enough zip ties and creative problem solving, anything is possible.
Whether you like flashy rainbow lights, flat colours or complex lighting patterns, there are always great options. No hard feelings if you prefer a dark appearance!
Clean cabling and proper placement and orientation of radiators are key to maximizing airflow and cooling!
It's a good feeling when you turn a system on for the first time after building it and everything is lit up and working.
When you're trying to achieve your ideal style, it sometimes comes with copious amounts of cables. Managing this can be tough, but not impossible!
This computer can run any game at ultra settings and boasts great performance in high resolution gaming, with additional support from the latest Nvidia DLSS3 upscaling technology. It has plenty of memory, storage and processing power to handle any workload.
