That is one clean looking rig man. Well done. 9/10 Only because the vcards have stock coolers on em.... Not paying you out though, its a really nice machine bro. Can you post some 3dmark benchies....

Been away for a bit. The benchmark numbers are described up top. 21K in 06, 26K in 05, 73k on 03, and 82k in 01. AM3 is OK at 218k.
 
Just out of raw curriosity why did you go with the CM stacker?

If you were going to go phase change lian-li/silverstone cases are a lot more condusive to extreme cooling methods and modding the crap out of them.

Other then tnat nice stuff.
 
Haven't looked at your machine in a while, so I updated my score. 10/10. Amazing wiring, components, phase, and a very clean and understated look. Absolutely perfect in my eyes.

Man that shit is wicked, would love to crank up some bf on that, it would be smoooooooth.

Another thing... howcome your 05 and 06 scores are so close?? shouldnt your 05 be around the 40k mark?? theoretically........
 
Umm can you adopt me so i can play crysis on that machine when it hits the stores?
 
10/10 due to sheer power!

Nah, Heavy's no poser. He's a nice guy. He built this up in stages, slowly upgrading everything as he went along.
 
No, let's not take this the wrong way. Heavy could be or could not be legit about anything regarding computers or...well anything.

What I mean is, THAT rig, the way it's setup, is like a poser rig. From what we can see, it's an SLI GTX system, with a phase unit, and well that's about all that stands out. Doesn't really come off as 'custom.'

However, there's tons of little things he could have done, that we do not know about, which make it 'legit.'


It looks like some rich dude went out and threw some typical expensive parts in it. Hence the 'poser.' That doesn't mean Heavy's THE poser, or A poser, it just means that's how the system comes off, hence I wouldn't rate it as high.

And holy hell I just repeated myself.

That's fair enough. I can see how it can come across like that to someone who hasn't seen all the different stages.
 
This is the only case I gave a ten on
 
A "poser", huh? Interesting term. :)

Well, being out of high school for over 20 years, I actually had to look up what that term actually meant and I think I found a decent definition.

"The act of trying to be what one is not, trying to relate and blend with a social group. Usually someone who is alone. Being a poser mostly consists of pretending one likes certain things, and one who acts in those one is trying to impress. It is typical for a poser to be disliked."

Well, I think I have been doing this too long to be attempting to " fit in". Besides, if someone was trying to fit in to some type of social group, I would think building PC's would be low on the list of items to try. I am not sure what others build their systems for, but I simply like to try out new hardware. It's just a hobby and all for fun. And, on that front, it has been pretty dry since October. :)

Yes, they are high end parts, but what else would you want to use if you could afford it? I went phase to win a bench contest (a 30 inch Dell LCD). I am not one for fancy paint jobs and the like. I just like a nice clean build which I think all my systems reflect. I was not going to sit by on the sidelines with second best hardware this time around and I am glad I did not. As Ferris so aptly put it, "It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up."

I never planned to go phase. And, the other two are CM Stacker 830 cases, as well. I got comfortable working with these cases. More than likely, the phase will move to another project and the Stacker to another. Upwards and onward.
 
Hey Heavy, you got any spare cooling goodies you can send my way? lol
