Subbed, I'm excited for this :toast:

Norton · Oct 6, 2012

Found the last few pieces (CPU, PSU, a few more fans) and they're on the way.... should have everything in hand by Wednesday

Updated the 1st post with the new pieces

Will take some pics when everything gets here :toast:

It's funny looking at your dedicated WCG build vs mind--I have an 80GB HDD, no case, a $5 GPU, and you have a WD Black HDD, a HD6870, and a case I'd love to put my main rig in

Also, I thought that you had the 750w PSU?

This is actually slated to be my 2nd/spare main rig. I was able to stash away some pretty nice pieces from upgrades, trades, and some other great deals I came across over the past 6 months.

On the psu- The seller thought it was a TX750..... turned out to be a TX850 :rockout:

NHKS · Oct 6, 2012

subd..
FT-01 & define R4 are among my favourites..
appreciate your contribution to WCG crunching, Norton.. keep up the good work!.. i might get tempted enough to join the team in near future because of ppl like you..

BUCK NASTY · Oct 6, 2012

Everyone knows "last rig of the year" always happens in December :laugh:

. Let me know if you need any bits or pieces to finish up. :rockout:

Why wait????? This is an awesome WCG team and always welcome fellow crunchers in!!! Doesn't matter how many PPD's you do a day, all that matters is that it contributes to a great cause and we have a hell of a lot of fun. :rockout:

Ah, that makes more sense. To me, much of that seemed overkill for just a spare rig--I cheap out on the non-essentials. Getting a surprise like that is cool! :toast:

My 920 is scheduled to be the last rig...but we'll see, a FX-8 might have to get added as well. Too temping

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Oct 7, 2012

I am in the process of putting my final rig of the year together. I need to change some fans and install the os which will be tomorrow.

This is the X4? Gaahhh, I stand no chance against you

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Oct 7, 2012

Yeppers man. Well it's actually another x2 that unlocks to x4 and I will clock it to atleast 3.4. It has ran at 3.6 as that what the bios of this board was set for and the chip actually booted at that. So I may be able to get a nice oc out of it also. After this build is done then I will work on the clocks some on the other systems. :toast:

Just the PSU? Is that it? :shadedshu
We don't get to see everything else?

Aquinus · Oct 11, 2012

It just wants to crunch so bad. It's the little engine that will.

Norton · Oct 11, 2012

@ Ion

More pics tomorrow....

Yeah! That's what I want to know!

Norton · Oct 11, 2012

Pics tonight gents- will start laying everything out after 8pm and will take a nice group shot for everyone. :toast:

Capitan Harlock · Oct 11, 2012

im curious about how is your powerbill every month with 6 pcs + 1 of the new build or you have a solar pannel system?

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Oct 11, 2012

We are able to justify the added power usage as we are able to lower our heating cost in the winter to negative numbers. :toast:

7 rigs make for a great heating system.
