System Specs

at the beginning of last year I wanted to walk tall so I came up with this http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=136658

Since that time lots of liquid has flowed through my tubes, specs has changed and my results does not shine so bright

its time for something new, better, stronger, faster, scooter!

Goal is to build single case PC with very high performance in tetris and other cool games. It has to be cool and quiet and has ability to shoot bricks at will!

I'm still waiting for more stuff to be delivered, so far I got whats below, hope you will enjoy:




















and just to compare size to my TJ10


more soon...

it wont have any, waterblocks will replace it

i chose it because its easier for me to o/c on msi, with new core i7 i always did a bit better on msi than on other mobos, f.e. my current 3930k does for 4,875 on asus and 5,151 on msi

also xspc has cooler blocks for gpus

By my standards, even a single 670 is epic.

Just imagine a 680.
Oh wait... four of them!
