That looks very nice :).


I have to ask, though, how does the whole thing sound? I mean, yes it kicks butt that you have 2 HD 2900s, but if the whole thing sounds like a leaf blower what's the point :P.
 
Leafblower lol :)

The noise isnt an issue, as its pretty quiet :) I leave the system on overnight (in my bedroom) and it doesnt disturb me one bit :)
 
show off :P
 
8/10

Nice hue for the red, and I like the cable management; they look accessible.

Come on Wiz, who cares if it's loud, shit bro put on some head phones and enjoy your dual GPUs. What are you afraid of, waking the girlfriend at 3am?

Besides, nothing's going to be louder than you screaming "verfluchter Sohn des Gottes eines Weibchenhahnes saugendes n00b" when you get hit with a headshot in CounterStrike or something :)
 
8/10 need some cable management and the crossfire is awesome but if u dont know the second pci-express is operating im 4x lane and not in 8x or 16x. maybe u will change u mobo for a x38 chipset but u could aswer me and the cross fire memory is beatufill too i love it

my future project is a GA-x38-DQ6 a crossfire with a HD2900XT 1GB DDR4 and 4GB OCZ platinum DDR2 1066MHz and if u wana look my old system i will be glad

see and vote in my case http://www.techpowerup.com/gallery/1034.html

bye ;)
 
You little red devil. LOL
Props for the Crossfire. Way cool.
Like the red fan in the front to.
Nice setup all together.9
 
8 - very clean and nice look to it
+1.5 - ATI inspired, awesome!

=9.5/10

Nice rig, man - very clean look to it and "professional," although I'm not a big fan of red lighting, I can't fault you on that - but it works and looks great with the ATI theme!

Cool, thanks a lot :) Its always nice to meet a fellow ATi fan :)
 
Gotta say, that's a mighty fine rig. Do need to clean up that wiring a little tho. 6/10 Excellent.

Clean up the wiring, and it'll be 7/10.
 
Nice but.......

Really nice setup but the PSU is not up to it.....why go cheap when you could have put in a Enermax or Be Quiet .........???

=7/10
 
8/10 nice job!!!
maybe some more wire management?? watch out for hiper psu's they use the fujigistu (whatever the hell it is) caps. looks good though :)
