Technology boy, I am sick of this, your constantly handing out 1s to people in pure jealousy, such immaturity is not whatsoever acceptable here on TPU. Technology_boy, we'll grab a coalition of people to give your case a 1, if you dont cease.

Moreover, you have not posted in our forums whatsoever, I would consider you a spammer. Nevertheless this is up to the Moderators to judge your pitful actions. Yes we all have the right to vote, but it IS classified spamming when you give everybody a 1.

EDIT: Prove it that you had a CM Stacker. The CM Stacker is enourmous, what are you on about. Now im pissed, bashing what you said Technology_boy, you said TWO 8800GTXs, one Ultra is slower than two 8800GTXs. Moreover fix your language up thanks, and facts.

techn0l0gy_b0y you obviously dont read the fourms much cause you dont knonw much about the 8800's, a ultra is an overclocked gtx with a tad bit better cooler.

and hes not water cooling hes phase charge coling,, its ALOT better than water cooling. so your wrong xD.

9 from me m8.

only just found this one so im not sure how the build came along as the earlier post dont match it as is.

anyway....would of been 10 but for 2 things. firstly as others have said, not many mods other than the phase enclosure that i can see and the case, its a personal thing i know but, i dont like the stacker.


top notch choice in parts and damm i wish i had your wallet, you score higher in 3dmark06 at xhd than i do at stock.

*marsey walks off looking for a winning lotto ticket :) *

The mods are subtle. I just try to use them to augment a clean build. I like mods that look like they are not. :)

I kept the cards air cooled as WC did not add much to OC headroom since the cards were rebuilt. The thermal pads (FRAG tape) worked much better than stock (cleaner too) and there is AS5 on the GPU. The heatsinks were also lapped so they cooled the GPU a little better with better contact. Idle is now low 50's.

The stock NVIDIA case is black and green, BTW. I pulled off all the green parts, had them stripped and anodized black. The fan tray had to be dremeled to clear the phase components, so another little tweak to clean up the build. The phase unit was modified a little, as well, so I could reroute the head assembly. I had to cut a large hole in the top of the phase and reroute the cooling feeds so I did not have to cut the stock Stacker 832 case, at all. Fans in the phase were also replaced with quieter 90 CFM SilenX 19 db versions.

Those are the only case modifications and the fact that no one notices is exactly what I was looking for ! :)

As for the Stacker, I chose it based on it NOT being square. I was sick of those cases (Lian Li, etc). And, it was very flexible with lots of space to work (Evo versions, that is). Watercooling, phase, whatever you like. I have three system that use this case. Cases are always personal taste, there is never one that everyone will like.

Lol, you love that kentucky fried mobo huh?

Actually, the system is used as 24x7 as the main workstation. Nothing fried, yet. In fact, less risk that water.

8800 Ultra's are a waste of money compared to the GTX since they are simply speed binned versions with a little faster DDR3. Two in SLI, and we have a monster. But, I will wait for November and the G92 to upgrade along with the 3.5 GHz Penryn Extreme CPU. November will be an interesting month.

As for the "rich" moniker, I do not consider myself rich. But, I am not twenty something anymore trying to buy a house, car, etc. So, expenses are low and income is much higher. My biggest expense is the $2000 a month in DayCare. Boy, I could really build something better if I had that money back in flow :)

I voted 1/10 because:

.I.

Well, I just posted it to share the results and add something different to all the air and watercooled systems. You are welcome to post any result you wish as opinions will always vary. No one system will be singularily be appreciated or loathed. Gotta' have a couple of one votes in the mix (already did).

Why do you have SLI DX10 cards on Windows XP? Anyway nice job, 9/10 because the case looks awkward in my opinion.

Well, it was sized for the Lian Li cases. The lengths are different, but you only see the front when it is in place. I was looking at getting some sides made that would follow the Stacker lines on the phase unit. But, I went phase to win a 30 inch Dell monitor in a benchmark contest, so it was in essence, a free upgrade.


And, SLI 8800 GTX cards work just fine with DX9 apps. They are the best DX9 cards available for the money. And, I was waiting for a killer app or game to come along to draw me to Vista. Hmmm, BioShock. Have to boot into the Vista partition and see what that looks like !

Vista was not around when I built and submitted this system just over a year ago. I have been running Vista 64 since some decent DX10 capable games have been released. I am anxiously awaiting the new cards in February :)
