Your PC ATM

and what is that brandon?
 
oh, i thought you alredy where a cruncher:D
 
naa i have never tried. from what i see its a small program that takes all my resourses and slows everything down. i might install this on my pentium III machine and let it crunch 24/7
 
you can set it too work when your pc has been idle for over 3minutes, thats what i do, and even if it works i can still play mw2 maxxed out with no lagging
 
yeah i think so, but hey, i'm a noob at the crunching thing, ask CP, he knows what you should do and what can be used for crunching
 
ok maybe he will chime in here soon and let me know cause if so i might setup this PIII machine some were and use VNC to control it and let it crunch its heart out.
 
sorry I meant the coolers and cards, not overall:roll:
 
Yeah man cable management can take a toll on you but it's definitely fun. I personally love it. I can spend hours doing cable management. Antec cases are badass but the 300 and the 900 could have used cable management holes. I know afterwards the 900 got some but I still didn't think they were too great. One case I loved to do cable management on is the TT Armour +, the one with the big side panel fan. Tons of them, you can pass cables through anywhere.

It can be fun except when you have a hubby moaning and asking "Are you done yet?" over your shoulder. :P I'm really hoping that, eventually, we'll be able to move out of Kali so that we can get a house big enough where we can have our own hobby rooms to play in.

Goddess, I remember when the TT Armour came out and I was drooling over it. 'Course, my hubby said no to it at the time knowing he'd get one for his PC as well and he did'nt want to have to move something that big. ;)
 
hmmm well i was wondering cause i would rather run the 250W PSU machine instead of the 650W machine 24/7
 
Try 3 cards peet, then go for 4 cards just for a cruncher, then go slap your heatsink and 2 more sticks of ram and 5mm more shaving with the dremel, then put 6 hardrives, a couple of spot cool fans, and your set with a silly cramped PC :)

You could give it a try and see how it does...I run my i7 24/7 crunching. hell thats the reason i built the i7
 
well i have my I7 that i run daily (if im awake its awake) and i wouldnt want another 650W machine running 24/7 along side of it LOL my wife already gets mad at the power bill

I'll send you a PM now with some pics of my Armour :D
 
Here you guys, the sleeved extensions are in and installed. The power cable and SATA cable are ran for the SSD already. The three HDD's in the front have all cables ran as well. Just a matter of installing W7 and doing the RAID then hooking up the cables.

Here we go fellas:

The 24 pin and the 6 pin PCI-E straight out of the bag

Very nice!

I am kind of curious 'tho I see the front intake fan but I'm not seeing much in the way of outtake except those on the rads. Now, granted, what I know of water-cooling could fill a thimble but is that going to be okay or do you have something else setup that I'm just missing?

BTW, are you going to use the side panel it came with? I'd be willing to get you a panel of your choosing in exchange for someone fitting the window from yours onto a Antec 300 panel providing that it would fit since that thing looks BIG!
