[Case Gallery] Phase LS - C2D Quad 8800 GTX SLI

[HeavyH20]

To view this case mod, go here.



Specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo QX6850 @ 4.40 GHz (24x7 - 4.00 GHz), Vapochill LS, , 8 GB GSkill DDR2-1000 (4-4-4-4, 2T. 2.25V) cooled by an OCZ DDR cooler with dual 60mm fans, EVGA 780i SLI motherboard, 2 x EVGA 8800GTX SLI @ 670/1000, 2 x WD Raptor 150 hard drive in RAID 0, 1 x WD Raptor 150 for page and temp, a Seagate 500 GB hard drive for data, Enermax Galaxy 1000 Watt PSU, CrystalFontz LCD panel, DVD-RW DL Lightscribe and a Vantec fan controller all mounted in an all black CoolerMaster Stacker 830 Evolution NVIDIA edition driving a Dell 3007FPW-HC.

Mods:
The case is a CM Stacker 830 NVIDIA edition, so it had green sides and top which I pulled and had anodized black. All the fan cables were sleeved in black mesh. I drilled a couple of holes on theVapo chill unit to reroute the tubing to mount the Vapochill unit to the CM Stacker case with no mods to that. Then, I just worked on cleaning up the cabling. The CrystalFontz LCD lets you monitor system utilization realtime or any item you wish. It is completely customizable. The side fans were kept in place, but the tray required some rework to fit with a dremel. It makes for decent airflow to keep the 8800GTX cards cooler by about 8C under load. I also rebuilt each of the video cards, replacing the stock thermal pads with a better version and using AS5 on the core. The cards operate cooler by about 5C.

3DMark06 is 21K for bench settings. At 2560x1600, it still scores 13K with stock clocks in HD gaming mode!

For an older test, it gets 82K in 3Dmark03 and 220K in AM3.

I need a drool cup. DAMN!!!!! Thats one awesome system. 12/10 for the componets ALONE.

 

[Casheti]

To me I think the object of this game is to try and spend the least amount of money as possible for the highest performance system. Just maxing everything out is....ugh, I hate rich people :-| But you can have a 10....

 

[Seany1212]

jesus, any benchmarks?

 

[wazzledoozle]

Fastest consumer-level system on the planet?

I gave a 8 because
A) No mods
B) Only 2gb of ram. If you can afford SLI 8800GTX, get another 2gb.

I sure can't for the life of me figure out why someone would give you a 1, fertilizer for brains i guess. 8/10 from me. Although i would have used water to cool that CPU. No biggie though. My girlfriend is getting me that exact same mobo for X-mas, WOOHOO!! And with the step-up from evga I'm going to follow your footsteps, only with GTS's not GTX's. PM me and tell me more about that mobo. Very, very nice by the way. Mods or no mods.

 

[Casheti]

What an awesome girlfriend!! MOBO's for christmas presents!!

Ima give 9/10 because your rich and should have gotten the QX6700

 

[HeavyH20]

Ima give 9/10 because your rich and should have gotten the QX6700

Well, QX6700 is on order. It was not available yet. And, 4 GB of RAM will not help in XP. With all the reserved addressing in memory, you only net about 2.5 GB. Once Vista launches, however, that all changes.

And, the DangerDen blocks for the cards are the next step. Watercooling will have to wait for the GPU blocks. So, air for now.

The cost of the system is really not that much. The cards were only a $300 bump from the old cards I sold. If you bought it all at once, I suppose it would be rather expensive. I decided this time around to simply jump in and get the right items. I have been sitting on the C2D processor for some time. I was going to get the 590 SLI board, but, that was a dud. When the 680i was released, it was greeted with a "finally". So, the parts were built up over the past few months aside from the video cards and the motherboard which released at the same time.

Yeah cool system but no mods or what so ever. Anyone can buy such a system if you have the cash for it. But i also like it and i give a 9.

one amazing system and clean inside, mod? what is there to mod in that case? its sexy as is.

I'm one who dont care for flashy lights though (I find it distracting while computing), I much rather a clean looking system... he has no need for fancy lights on the inside. his mod is making a his case leet, with superb air cooling, nice fan controller, and clean internals.
