I read in one of the latest maximum PC that a lower clock speed and lower cas latency compared to higher clock speed and higher latency run much much better, like ddr2 800 at 3-4-3-9.

fucking sweet rig dude, your one of the lucky ones, with money lol.

Yep. Building these things is my hobby. The Minnie Me PC is now this year's gift to my Sister-in-law. Trying to improve things in the family one PC at a time.

I hope to improve the "mod" factor a tad. Hmm. I like the Coolermaster color scheme they used on the demo PC's for the launch. Wonder how hard it would be to take apart this case and get it painted. Talked to CoolerMaster, and the door is available. Just need some logos and CM sticker, and it should be easy to imitate. Add some good watercooling, and it should work out nicely.

Just checked on the QX6700 status, and it looks like mid December to arrive as the estimate. Hope it comes sooner, however. I really want to try one of those CPUs out.

get it while its hawt! well it looks like they are somewhat sold but. http://www.us.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=20958&nocookie=1&membership=0


Thanks for the link. Ordered it just now. Interesting, had to use PayPal to pay. They do not take US credit cards any longer. So, should be here next week. $100 more than the other vendor, but at least they have them on hand. :)

As for the money, well, graduated college 16 years ago. I now make a decent income so that these toys don't hurt so much to purchase.

EDIT: NCIX over sold and canceled the order. No problem, however, since the other one I ordered is coming through and will be delivered on Nov 28!

Awseome Futuremark scores!!! I'm just starting to build my system up - check out my initial specs and future modding in the BEEF IT UP thread.

You can tell this guy's rich by the incredibly clean carpet in one of the pics - he clearly has a cleaner/maid!!!

Yup. Work in progress. I am spending my time on the OC side of the fence. I would rather invest the effort to get a waterchiller in place rather than paint a case. But, as before, to each their own. Some like a silver Infiniti and some like a tricked out chopper (like the S3 mod - wow). Silver Infiniti for me.

And, on the OC front, QX6700 and a waterchiller arrive this week. Waterblocks for the 8800GTX cards are still hard to come by.

I think the S3 mod represents the pinnacle of what you can do with a system and is more than the sum of its parts. The PC specs for that mod are average, but they are simply there to put the PC part to the mod. Sort of a 180 on my system. But, on the mod front, I have an extra CM Stacker 830 that I will be modding to use as a home for all these parts. I want to keep it clean and a tad subdued, but still have an original look to it. Working on a color scheme...

Freezone cooler looks really nice, just seems to suck in quiet mode when cooling. If there could be a replacement quieter fan brought for that thing and ran at high all the time with low temps that would be one seriously perfect tec cooler...or close to it.

You need a 92 to 120 converter then you can use a single 120 mm fan. And, I do not power the fan from the power board. Instead, I use a fan controller to set it where I feel. The stock fan was quite noisy. It is also very deep, much like a commercial PanaFlo fan.

Thanks. I was going for neat and tidy instead of the "bling" mode. I just painted the green side screens black. Gaming is always at 2560 x 1600 if possible. 4xAA and 16xAF help things look even better!

Do you have a HDCP monitor? For HD-DVD or Blueray movies, you could go to walmart and buy a HD-DVD player for Xbox 360 for 200 bucks and mod it in the case if you didn't want it to be external.

(Not sure if you need a HDCP display for that player)

Just throwing a bone out there to make it a complete and even more of a fantastic machine.

As i already told heavy his beast is a lot like the one i will be building for myself. I give you a 10 for power, simplicity, and clean wiring job. This is a price piece of machinery I hope you're as happy with your machine as much as i want to emulate it.
