Beautiful WOW!!!

I made an account just to say DAMN!!! I really like your build. Lian li case, Abit motherboard with new P35 chipset. Awesome CM. Question for you actually though, just looking in your case, im about to do my next build, Im gonna be running the e4400 C2D obviously overclocked, hoping to hit 3.0 air with the M0 revision. Abit Ab9pro P965 chipset motherboard (i chose it for the hella sata and raid options) , 4GB Supertalent DDR 800 micron d9 chips soo i should be able to hit the FSB im lookin for. But the kicker is im gonna be using the ATI hd2900 PRO video card. Which is along the lines of 8800gtx size maybe a tad bigger. For size in your case, how much clearance is there for the video card before is becomes a problem with external expansion slots or internal 3.5 drive bays. I would worship you if you would actually break out a ruler and measure depth from card slot to the drive bays. AND, of course as soon as I get a case which is all I need, i will post the rig along with step by step progress photos.

thanks for the praise bro
and for sure I'll let you know exact clearance measurements as soon as I get back to school where my PC is tomorrow!

as for your system, I have a few comments to make, why do you feel that you need 4GB of ram? if nothing else the extra two dimms (unless you're going 2x2GB) are only going to limit you're CPU overclock, also that 2900Pro, while an amazing card and I would love one myself, is most certainly going to be bottlenecked by that CPU...I hate to say it but it really will be, my suggestion would be to go with one of the good 2GB DDR2 800 kits such as Ballistix that you know will OC well but are still cheap AR, then put the extra cash into a better CPU

I ordered two sets of the 2x1 GB. Just due to the fact that they are the D9 micron chips, which are, from what i read, like the holy grail of handling high clocks and voltage. Im initially gonna start with one set 2x1 GB to test my over clock. I know running 4 dimms puts you at risk when you try and overclock all at the same time, usually one stick is weaker than the rest causing the BSOD. But, Now that DX10 is peeking out, down the road i might get lucky with a good overclock and the 4 dimms with Fu$xin Vista. My logic behind this is that the e4400 has the 10x mulitplier , so, my FSB overclock wont have to be sooo drastic to reach a good clock for both ram and cpu. Im not gonna be heavy into benchmarks, at least i tell myself that now :), im going for more real world performance. But, if it kicks me in the ass, I will probably agree with you and the first thing to upgrade will be the CPU. But for now, im just trying to get out of this centrino Duo laptop. Hate laptops, miss my desktop :(

Very nice, good job on the cables, wish my rig was that clean inside but alas... 7 hard drives and 11 fans is like impossible.

BTW, that lanfest ram is very pretty.

haha thanks much bro ;)

what about a Gay Strip Club with a blue neon sign and Blue Lighting inside? :/

:p

gay strip clubs, be they blue lighted or not, will never have a special place in my heart.
But dude, if that's your thing, then rock on. lol :p :p

I'm all for a neon sign, tho.
Depends on what it says, also. lol
