Wow...nice job on the CF, lookin real good...That'll also be sweet with the IMON...will you be using it or is it ornamental?

BOBDBONE · May 14, 2009

Looking great Mark.

Will you please clean up that work bench? It's driving me insane!!

Why yes I do have OCD. At least place things perfectly square in the background so I don't stress. Thank you.

It is a pretty cool device.. It makes the comp completely remote control, keeps track of music,movies,dvds and is just a lot of fun to mess with.

glad you stopped by Bob...Il get right on organizing the bench (didnt say anything about the floor or closet though) :eek:

Nice choise of components...

and needless to say...great work in every respect :respect:

I am thinking of covering the face with CF but not sure yet....

I think the front would look really good with carbon fiber imo.
Especially if it went diagonal

Il give it a try (and make sure you get the credit, or the razzing :laugh:

)

I was going to go with a pair of 4850s from TPU but I have a friend that has a 4870 he will give me
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102825

and with 1920 X 1200 apparently its better then the 512s...(not to mention Crossfire and me arent the best of friends)
I thought of the 4850 X2 but it would stick out the side of the case...

anyone think the 4870 is a bad idea? speak up now as tomorrow I will pick it up....

But I bet you could make that look really frikin cool somehow. lol.

And no, the 4870 1GB is a good idea. Should play most things well at 1920x1200. You'd need a second one for the more demanding games tho.

MKmods · May 15, 2009

I actually thought of that (could exhaust some heat out the other side)

Is it worth it?

LOL, COD4 and Starcraft are my games.....(Im not so demanding)

I should have picked up the DFI mobo (X16 times 2) but this is what I have to work with
(and honestly I really like Biostar, they have been good to me)

Wile E · May 15, 2009

In terms of performance over the single 1GB 4870 in CoD4, not worth it.

In terms of turning your case into some crazy Frankenmod, with video cards sticking out of it, only you can be the judge of that. lol.

MKmods · May 15, 2009

lol,thanks Wile E.

If there was a chance 2 of them would work I think it would be cool. But I like the idea of the nice cooler on the 4870 and honestly to me the 4890 is $235 more (4870 is free) so value wise its not that hard a decision to make..

Alright!
And I have to agree with Wile, the 4870 is a good idea

MKmods · May 15, 2009

LOL, this stuff is like crack....I just picked up one of these
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813136057R

I started looking at the Biostar mobo and there is no place to put my Asus D1 and with the DFI there are a bunch of extra options (X16 times 2, X16 X8 X8 and even X16 X8 and x8Physics (sounds cool if it works))

Looks like its gonna be another month of ramen :roll:

It's all hotdogs and mustard for me!! I buy bulk mustard!!!! (and onions)

MKmods · May 17, 2009

mmmm... hotdogs with mustard and onions, throw on some sharp chedder and its a winner...

Ok back to the mod, it has transformed (again :wtf:

) This time its the last time (I have bankrupted myself and now on to the family :laugh:

Thanks Mom and Pete :respect:

)

Ok same case, new mobo DFI LP DK 790FXB-M2RSH (many more options) and I got a pair of 1gig 4870s.

When the second 4870 and mobo gets here (tues or wed) I will check it for actual power draw to deside on the PS (im thinking the 400 watter is a no go here :roll:

)

I also came up with a new idea on the wiring, when i built my special Tri SLI SFF comp for Nvision I made it completely modular (DVD, HDDs,mobo,PS everything) I was hiding that concept but may do it with this one..

While I was waking up I came up with a cool name/theme, I was looking at the "Dark" on the box of the mobo and how I have re done this so many times so far and thought "Phoenix" so I thought it would be cool to make this my "Dark Phoenix" comp....
(sound lame? let me know what you think)

Cold Storm · May 17, 2009

Damn... I'm beginning to see the same as you my man! money hungry things!!!

Now, as for the name of the case. I love It! I'm a Comic book nerd so Dark Phoenix "Jean Gray" is a great look to the case thoughts!

MKmods · May 17, 2009

Thats so cool, Thanks CS :respect:

She reminds me of a psycho ATI ruby.....(perfect)

Cold Storm · May 17, 2009

Man, with your skills.. Yeah, I think it will look sweet as hell!

MKmods · May 17, 2009

I like this one

tzitzibp · May 17, 2009

i like that, too...

btw, what do you do with all the parts that u leave on the side, only to be replaced by others (every week, now, lol) ?

BOBDBONE · May 17, 2009

Ohhh that's HOT!!

I'd hit it. :pimp:

Cold Storm · May 17, 2009

I usually sell them to pay for the new ones..one thing I do is try to get value stuff (sales,openbox etc) Because its a lot easier to re sell a $100 GPU than a $600 one...

Thanks Cold Storm for your input
