    iv gone through a few threads in the past few days and you keep popping up and posting with info about products and so on and you bring up your rig parts.

    When u do, its like as if your going to build a nuclear power plant! :D

    so my question is what on earth are you building? :confused:

    can u give me your specs and so on? Price of the complete job?

    last but not least, why? :p

    Cheers!

    I cant wait till ATI start producing SLI cards coz i have a high up contact in ATI and will be able to get cards @very good prices watch this space mates.. :D Heard they have them in production should be awesome, as single cards go ATI's wipe the floor with NVIDIA in my opinion anyhow i better get back to work.. ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 347 ✭✭DirtyHarry


    that is one hell of a rig, just wondering why not buy two 6800 ultras instead and overclock them? they would be far better! :D

    also what are you going to be using this for? anything in particular? :)

    also, the estimated price would be cool? :D

    cheers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,553 ✭✭✭✭Dempsey


    dubdvd, what job do you have to be able to flog that much money at a computer, where is it? how much do you actually get? and can you get me a job in there?:D

    That is a very nice case, how heavy is it? It looks heavy. Ya wouldnt want to be a lan maniac


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 950 ✭✭✭jessy

    i have it already .heres where i got it..only snag is there media is hard to find just now ..for the time being ......and i already have almost all of the above the only things im waiting for is the case and cards which are on there way the past two weeks ...should be here today or monday :D memory is the only thing i dont have yet..and btw most of this will be running on TEC at some stage ...just waiting to rob another bank :eek: before i buy the 226w Peltier (Potted) for the cpu and two 80 watts for the gpu's there is a mod you can do for psu with a standard 550 watt psu which i might try for the cpu power and buy the proper one for the gpu,s as you can imagine money is tight now so it could be a month or so before i start using the Peltier's ..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,543 ✭✭✭sionnach


    the case looks impressive but with all those fans what's the airflow gonna be like? having so many could make for a very fudged up airflow. If it was me i'd be spending the 4 grand on a nice silent machine for 1000 and a 30" apple tft for 3 grand :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,557 ✭✭✭dubdvd


    Trust me there wont be any problems with air flow ...as the left chamber is only housing the motherboard and the three fans at the front will mainly be low speed untill im overclocking ,So with the front 3 low ill have the top one above the mobo and the rear one running a little faster to draw the air out quickly as the 3 x 120mm rad will be releasing its load back into the mobo chamber but the pull from the rest of the fans will get rid of it fast eoungh ....
    as far as noise is concerned these cases with the right fans on the right speed and you wont hear a thing ...
    With all the major chips inside being water cooled even the two ram sticks and the air flow across the mobo will keep everything eles nice and cool ...
    The EMERMAX 600 WATT noisetaker psu is so so quiet for a 600watt psu ..and all the harddrives i use are hardly auduble ....so all in all the only thing ill get niose from is the 3 x 80mm fans which will be papst fans aswell ...so you wont hear them ...
    The main thing i waited when building this rig was the fact its in my bedroom as noise is a major issiue ...and i made sure i read all the reviews and forums about this case .....The other major thing was that it will be a pure modder dream case ...but like everything eles its completely down to your own taste ...it also all pulls apart cd-drive bays and hd bays and mobo side panels and so on ...plus i knew that i was going to be using water and at a later stage T.E.C.s so the fact that all the new cases have slots for two psu's ...for modding the opions of this case are never ending ...
    At the moment im planning on coming up with a way that i can put my 19" tft at the back facing out away from the case with two steel arms on either side of the case "the case is 18"x18"x18" btw" and a small motor with two rails running up the sides and the edge of the top so that when you press the power botton "or clap :D " that while windows is booting up the tft will move from the back with the help of the rails and and motor and move above the top of the case and then resting down slightly slanted on top of the case some like this here...

    ii know the drawing isnt the best but you get the idea...

    lol.

    the temptation for pc madness is strong in this one.

    me too come to think of it, but i've so far resisted the dark side.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 853 ✭✭✭case_sensitive


    That's freakin' monstorous..
    But why push out the pixels so fast onto a 19" TFT?
    Surely 2 x Dell 24" Widescreen jobbies would be more appropriate?
    Or as the previous poster says, an Apple Cinema Display? 23/30".
    Money doesn't seem to be much of an object..
