You might need two. One for the mess and another for airflow!

I did.

It's a 2m MDF board. Cost me about £18. Need to buy another half sheet for the shelves at the side (Onkyo Receiver, PS3, Wii etc.).

I build a frame around the wall so that there's no legs, floating desk

Hey Moonpig - How would you support the front of the desk if there's not legs?

Well... I kinda lied. There is the side of the shelves that will support it. Other than that, it's a frame.

Yeah, those damn cables are huge, and annoying. Can barely fit the side of the case on.

I got some other fish to fry before I can really play with it though. Still need a fourth card too, for the boards that have 4 slots.




I actually planned to have three reference cards stuffed into my red/black AMD FX rig, and those cards sit in that rig now, and I'm using 5850's with the 3960X right now.


I've actually just recently re-benched most of the motherboards in that pic. Let me tell you, what a chore.

Yeah, a matching board would be nice, but really, because the 3960X is not what I consider my own, I won't actually be using X79 for the 6950's. I got the red/black thing tight already.

I have this for that instead(OF course, 3rd reference card will go in there, and the XFX non-refernce will be used for reviews unless i manage to get some 7950's.):





ASUS Crosshair V Formula, of course, but it has USB issues, and I need to RMA it. At least I got enough of the rig that I can start planning the case I'm going to build for it in the summer.

lulz, I jsut hacked an old Gigabyte 3D Aurora form like 2003 to get my tray. I hate the dual 120mm fan holes on the back, completely useless.

I've ordered a proper tray to build the case off of, should be here next week some time, lexan and stuff I have to pick up yet, but I need to wait for warmer weather and my shoulder surgeries to be done before I can get it all together. Painting and gluing in -5c with one arm sucks.


I don't actually expect to be done the FX rig until like October or something. I got two other builds in progress too.
