User comments
Post your commentThat looks very nice :).
I have to ask, though, how does the whole thing sound? I mean, yes it kicks butt that you have 2 HD 2900s, but if the whole thing sounds like a leaf blower what's the point :P.

Leafblower lol :)
The noise isnt an issue, as its pretty quiet :) I leave the system on overnight (in my bedroom) and it doesnt disturb me one bit :)

Nice hue for the red, and I like the cable management; they look accessible.
Come on Wiz, who cares if it's loud, shit bro put on some head phones and enjoy your dual GPUs. What are you afraid of, waking the girlfriend at 3am?
Besides, nothing's going to be louder than you screaming "verfluchter Sohn des Gottes eines Weibchenhahnes saugendes n00b" when you get hit with a headshot in CounterStrike or something :)

Nice rig, man - very clean look to it and "professional," although I'm not a big fan of red lighting, I can't fault you on that - but it works and looks great with the ATI theme!

Gotta say, that's a mighty fine rig. Do need to clean up that wiring a little tho. 6/10 Excellent.
Clean up the wiring, and it'll be 7/10.

Really nice setup but the PSU is not up to it.....why go cheap when you could have put in a Enermax or Be Quiet .........???

Good job Hookey, 8/10 from me.
Nice machine Hookey..
Can you mount the Hdd's "back to front" with your case??? It makes a huge difference to the overall cleanliness if you can because you can hide all the wiring and connectors away..
Love the crossfire setup too... it makes me miss my old setup.... :sheds a little tear:

by: HookeyStreet;540813try removing the whole glass incuding the metal design and replace it with perspex cut and drilled to size.

a 10 man! love the set up and envy you on the power color 3870's!! I was 5 mins away from my own and got side tracked...
by: Cold Storm;595082Thanks m8, but........I do need to update the pics a bit because Im not running dual 3870's anymore. I sold both for full retail value and got a single G92 8800GTS 512mb ;)

I love the 3870 and would highly recommend it. But I was getting fed up waiting for the patch/drivers to sort out the dual card problem with Crysis, so I cut my losses and went for 1 really good card :)
9/10 Kick ass specs and a nice looking case to boot!
by: HookeyStreet;595367No problem man. Hey, if you wanted to go with a better single card by all means do! it still looks like a kick a$$ build and stand by my numbers.
