[BPN] Rigs

[Monkey_Grill]

Monkey_grill that case is heavy,I used that in my first AMD 64 build,everything ran very cool though.lock on the front is very usefull when you have kids like I do.Sweet system O_O

It's been a great case, but it's time for an upgrade. 80mm fan slots are just not big enough. Would like to get the HAFX when it comes out. Thing looks sick!

Looks good. You might want to do something about the spaghetti factory (cables) running all over the place. I like all the external drives!

Don't worry too much about the age. If it isn't broke, don't fix it.

[Schlup]

Nice setup, I used to work with a guy that bought the same notebook you have, he really liked it as well.

I was unaware such a thing existed. But I will definitely check it out if you are ever on Teamspeak fill me in on more details.

Wow, very nice, very clean system!  I'm impressed.  But yeah you need to jump on the folding team for sure!  You can use your rig to save some lives!  I'd be happy to help but you can find most of the info in the folding section of the forums.

[Schlup]

Ok, so you all wanted pics of my system but it's kind of a pain to get out, so since I had to install my new graphics cards today I went ahead and took some pics.

Yaaaa GTX 260 brethern! Take a air blaster to that dust machine though that's the luxury of water cooling other than the radiators.

[Schlup]

I've kinda grown accustom to the dust...I like it!

[Monkey_Grill]

CLEAN OUT THAT DUST!

[Alamode]

Why do you say that?  I switched out my fans with your fans.  I'm keeping mine in case one of yours goes out.

[Schlup]

Oh, and here are some new pics of my guest computer.  It's in the guest room for people to surf the net on.

[Arethius]

because you need dual GPUs for surfing the net now?

None of my stuff is overclocked but I haven't exactly looked into improving my air cooling to do this.  Perhaps I should since Fallen outmatches me on one Nvidia 480!!

Someone has come into work with an old RT Intel P4 CPU and asked why her flash video and audio wouldn't sync. Time to upgrade!

[Schlup]

Sweet Rig fallen now do something about all those cables..

[FALLEN]

yeah you cant see them with the front on its the only place i could find to stuff them lol

[Samarium]

I think you need a Corsair 800D Case next =p I love Corsair.

[Schlup]

I think you need a Corsair 800D Case next =p I love Corsair.

No way, he got the right case, the HAF series is killer, hands down.  The only thing better out there is the HAF X.

[FALLEN]

and the new HAF black is tempting me im going to see if i can just order the side panel

[sniperp_99]

Here's my new build, this is only the tower because I'm still in between places so I don't have my full setup. Once I get to my final place I'll add the rest and post pictures.

Very nice build Sniper, those are the HDD's we just put in the web server...only they are 750GB and I only paid $50 per drive.

you only paid $50.00 per drive for these?
Corsair Force 2.5" 750GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

do you have any more for that price?  LOL

co.co.

[Monkey_Grill]

Co. Co., they were HDD XD

[CoCoCountyKiller]

dohh  my bad

thought they were SSD 

co.co.

[Schlup]

LOL...no I wish.  They were regular 7200RPM HDDs.  I really haven't heard enough info about how SSDs work in the server environment yet so I wouldn't have put SSDs in the server.  There's an awful lot of read/write going on with the website and I would think they might wear pretty quickly.

[CoCoCountyKiller]

I thought they had a million hours or something like that on the new SSD's

co.co.

[Schlup]

Yeah, for consumer use a million hours, but server use is MUCH different from consumer use.  Greatly diminishes the time of components because they have to work so hard all the time.  Especially if you are using consumer parts in a server environment, that's why they make server parts and why they cost so dang much!
