Not quite the ultimate pc, but nice. lol my single X1900XT can do pretty close to what two of the 7800gtx in this system can and for half the price tag :) Still, it is a nice set up full of creativity. A little work with the wires may help the appearance, since you are posting it on the website to show off ;)

If you read what I said once again, you will see that I did not mention anything indicating that the X1900XT outperformes two 7800GTX. I said it's performance is pretty close to two 7800GTX. Don't get your panties in a bunch lol. No pc is the ultimate pc. Technology is forever changing and moving forward. Today your pc is top notch, tomorrow is a thing of the past. Welcome to the world of technology buddy ;)http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/powercolor-x1900xt_9.html

yeah thats a real good job with the watercooling, but seriosly, take 5 minutes and clean up the cables.... a good way is to use black electrical tape to wrap some up then stick them behind the 5 1/2 drive bay cage

Very nice PC, wiring needs work. Liking your choice in case. Not the ultimate PC though. However still very damn nice.

"Hydrolica"

:)

Very nice water cooled jobs always impress the heck outta me, because I've NEVER done more than air-cooled rigs!

(It appears to me upon "cursory inspection" (visual skim only really) that you're combining BOTH air & water, very cool... but, have you considered going ALL "hydromatic"?)

Dam I want a 7800GTX.
(& heck, iirc, you have a killer rig modded to high-heck too! IIRC, it was pretty "boss" stuff, & in fact, wasn't it one of the ones with an actual automobile radiator (or rather, tranny or oil cooler) applied?)

So, assuming I am right here, well... w/ a system of THAT quality & cooling setup?

Hey, go for the gold man: GeForce 7900 GTX OC types!

Yea, it was the oil transmission cooler. Although it had to be repainted, because it was grey. But still, saving up for the next series of 7900's. And waiting to see when Nvidia makes bios so you can use 2 different cards. So I can upgrade accordingly. I can't afford 2 7900's. I would buy one now and one more little down the road.
