Welcome to Guru3D's Rig of the Month !
We just adore PC related hardware & think you do too. And sometimes you guys really make a PC that really stands out. We ask you to answer a few simple questions and send in photos of your rig. Each month we'll have a look at the entries and perhaps pick you and post your PC with photos and everything here at Guru3D.com. Here you can find out what you need to do and win a nice prize courtesy of Corsair.
Guru3D Rig of the Month is sponsored by Corsair
Each month one winner walks away with a cool prize. This month we give away a K70 LUX with red lighting. All keys are mechanical, in our case making use of Cherry Red MX RGB switches. The idea behind mechanical switches is that they give a key press a more perceptible feel than the standard rubber membrane used in cheaper keyboards. Gamers seem to prefer mechy's very much over dome based keys and ever since the past year or two mechanical keyboards have been on the rise. The keyboard registers ALL keys pressed at once, as such this is full key rollover. With virtually unlimited customization directly integrated into Corsair's legendary construction, the LUX line of gaming keyboards is the key to breaking through the competition. Express yourself with programmable advanced lighting control and large font keycaps, and transform your gameplay with on-the-fly macro programming. Loaded into a rugged aluminum body, Corsair LUX keyboards provide the ultimate experience for every situation.
Note - This competition runs world-wide, however due to complex delivery and customs issues Russia, South America and Africa cannot be shipped a prize. That said, let's do some modding.
Each month here at Guru3D.com we feature one of you guys, your PC, your DIY project. It is quite honestly amazing how much detail and dedication you put into an PC, and every now and then it really shows.

Guru3D ROTM: A man and his build
Lets peek at the September edition of the Guru3D Rig of the Month 2016. This months build is fabbed by Randall Woody. The man in reality is manager for a parking company, and this actually is his first ever mod slash build. He named it Hi Lo Silver, we'll call it Hue.
1. What is your name / nickname /age / occupation?
Hi! My name is Randall! I wanted to share my custom PC build with you. I am currently in my mid-thirties and I am a manager for a parking company in the Midwest, USA. This is my very first PC build. I came to Guru3D because someone mentioned this would be a good place to share my build.
2. What did you first come here for?
In the fall of 2015, I was saving money for the Xbox One when I decided I had had enough of the console racket. I have been a console gamer for 25+ years, and I just got tired of all the issues with them. I'm tired of buying a new console every few years and paying for disc media that just collects dust. I wanted to be able to mod games and play online without paying a monthly fee.
3. What do you mainly use the system for?
I decided to become a PC gamer, and I started shopping for a pre-built PC. There were so many people in forums saying it was better to build a custom PC. They said it was easier than you think, and you get more value for your money because you don't have to pay the markup that retail stores charge. Up to that point I thought that the only people who built custom PC's were professionals who had legitimate computer businesses. I did some more research watching build videos and online talk shows, and I concluded that I could do it to with enough teaching.
