That case is so suited for a fileserver!

Btw, I read the text on your beer as "fatal" I hope it tastes better than that!

 

[Chicken Patty]

that case is probably a chieftec??

 

[audiotranceable]

open case FTW!. The DDR2 ram is @ 920mhz (667mhz stock) .

Motherboard & Drivers are held together by push pins

well, I got some pics for you guys, but first the story of the day.

as some of you know, ive been dealing with instability issues with my i7 rig. First internet connectivity was intermitent, a reboot will fix it momentarily, then a few minutes after going into windows, BSOD "machine check exception" I loaded defaults blaming the overclock for this, today i'm jamming away and the sound cuts off, then a few seconds later, the same BSOD. Shit, i'm thinking my board is loosing it! I remove the sound card, BSOD right away. So I load defaults again, somewhere along the way I had loaded my overclocked settings. At defaults, its working fine, i'm using my on board.

After a few hours of putting my E7200 in the new case (Thermal Take Element S) i reboot my comp because i had tried the soundcard in the e7200 pc, and the card worked. I was going to give it another shot on the i7 rig. Well, the PC wouldn't boot, removed card, nothing. Removed video card and put the X300 from my other rig and it booted. So I was getting ready to call it quits and say my other 4870 had gone to shits, when I decided to try something. I cleaned all ati drivers with Driver Sweeper, popped in the 4870 and it booted. So, I installed new drivers, put in the sound card, gave it fresh drivers too, and now here I am better than ever. Back to my overclocked crunching settings and all . So enough of this boring story, here are the pics of the E7200 rig for now on air, once I get a few spare pennies, i'll do the project log and watercool it

Sorry I didn't take more pics, camera was running out of battery and I don't have the charger, it's at the owners house

This board however is anti cable management because of the location of the 24pin. Impossible to hide if you ask me. Does anybody have any suggestions for that?


...and for your own viewing pleasure, these are the settings i'm crunching on the i7 rig now, for those interested in knowing:

what case is that?

yeah its ghetto, but you can start to make the hole, then just put something to cover the area so it dont cut your wires. This is extremely ghetto and nasty, but hey it works lol

Show, show! Honestly, if you aren't taking off the side case what's the big deal? I might be wrong here, but isn't it all about airflow inside your case and access to cables? I guess if you are really trying to impress I can see the point. Just curious

By all means im not judging, the back cant be seen i know, just wanted to show some pics of mine for tips and stuff, though i had to dissasemble it to RMA a VGA, so pics will come soon

As for the "innards", since I don't take internal photos that often, here is a really old photo that I took about 8 months ago, only few days after assembling my i7 setup. (Pay no attention to the hanging cables, it was a work in progress back then.)

Thanks. I update components on a weekly basis and since I'm a member of about a dozen or so hardware enthusiast communities, I would have to spend literally several hours each week updating my specs on every profile/account I have out there. Plus I have more than one machine... anywho, as of now here are the specs for this machine:

CPU: Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem
Motherboard: EVGA X58 3X SLI (E758 A1)
RAM: 6GB Mushkin DDR3 Kit
GPU: 2 x EVGA GTX 280 in SLI
SPU: ASUS Xonar D1 + onboard Realtek ALC889A
PSU: 950 Watt Rosewill Xtreme Series
Case: Cooler Master Cosmos 1000
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master V8 (+2 133.6 CFM Ultra Kaze fans for a bit more air flow. )
Monitor: 28 inch Hanns-G LCD

The rest: X-bass headphones, Logitech Z-5300 speakers, Logitech G5 mouse, luminescent keyboard, DVD-RW drive, DigitalDoc 5 module, and lots and lots of fans.

Awesome looking!!

Thanks. I'm in a middle of modding my case, so once that is done I will have more photos, hopefully.
