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.
 
excellent

suuuuuuwwweeeeeeeet pc

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.

hehe i wish i could make this my hobbie lol i got college in my way and not much money lol

but nice job
 
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!

9/10

Yo, gave u a 9 cos 10 says 'Unique' and seein as no mods its not gonna be too unique... Still...

Any details on how much the whole thing costs?

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!!!
 
Hey Dude since this is your 5th entry can I have 1 of your other PCs ... lol ... anyway gave you a 10. Incredible Specs. is there anyway you can post video on this forum ???
 
looks good...hard not to hava a rocken rig when using top end stuff....but i must say that it lacks any "modding" needs something to make it dif. just looks like you plugged in a bunch of high end product.....7/10 from me b/c having top product just isnt enough...tho it does look clean it still lacks a personal touch...7/10

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...

How are you finding your Freezone Cooler?
 
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.
 
ohh i see you got it updated it looks so nice you really did well on the cabling it looks so neat and powerful the watercooling looks really good too

im guessing you play all your games at really high settings with super hd resolutions

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.
 
i would love to come and chill at your house for a few days and lan it, even i'm using one of your "non-primary" machines!

sheesh!
 
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.
