Repost from the old forums...didn't get imported. Not eGOs fault

Heyo,

So I'm gonna be doing some upgrading this summer, and this is what it's gonna look like. I know this is the "Dream" computer section, but rest assured, it'll be happening I'll be sure to post pics sometime in July/August.

Anyways...on with the rig!

Case

Rocketfish full tower case, manufactured by Lian-Li, possibly the BEST case manufacturer EVAR. It's gigantic...almost sexy. Most of their cases go for $400+, I got this baby for $75.

CPU

Core 2 Quad Q6700. I have a Q6600 right now, but the 10x multiplier that the Q6700 has is great for overclocking. Plan to trade my quad for the new one + cash.

Motherboard

DFI DK X48 Lanparty. Supports what I need, but I may choose the new DFI boards that are coming out in June. All depends on how many SATA ports they got.

Memory

G.Skill 2x2GB DDR2-1000. I have one of these kits, and I plan to get another one for a total of 8GB RAM.

GPUs
No pictures yet, but I'm PLANNING on getting dual 4870x2s when they come out, or shortly after. These things have 800 shader processors, have a TON of bandwidth, and high core clocks.

Hard Drives
Not positive on these, but it'll be a 500GB or 750GB pair or 4 in RAID0

PSU

Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W. Bought this today for $305 + free shipping. It's overkill for my current setup, but once I finish this summer build, it'll be loaded

CPU Cooling

D-Tek Fuzion V2 with quad nozzle and pro-mount. This is by far the best waterblock on the market. I can't wait to set up my watercooling loop!

Pump

It's a pump, what else is there to say? Other than it's the best one out imho...

Radiator

Thermochill PA120.3 Radiator. Best rad for low CFM fans, and I need quiet in college

Reservoir

Custom 3 bay reservoir. Made by hand by my mate Cyberdruid

I think that's it...critique?

~Gooda~

Looks good, you're the first person I've seen that actually goes for custom Watercooling. (Which is the best way)

 

[Arn0t]
