lol, I tried trading with a few here at TPU and nothing came of it so I will be using a Xeon Nehalem W3503 (dual core i7 is plenty for me).

I had to make this affordable, lucky for me i found someone that traded me the Bloodrage for my Modded DFI so the mobo was technically a freeby.

I am trying to trade my DDR2 Tracers for some DDR3 (would be another Freeby)

And the Xeon was only $135, Big thanks to bamacre (awesome seller at eBay)

So technically I went from AM2+ to i7 for $135 (and now I can sell my AMD 940 to further reduce costs)

LOL, only if you can figure a way to make it cost effective....

good for you!
if you got the bloodrage monitoring front panel you could integrate it somehow it the case, its a nice tool for overclocking

wow, I7 for cheap.. lol.. I can do a full Am3 set up for around the same as you since the chip I have, my bro's dad will buy it off me via a board, high end processor.. lol.. I just don't see any AM3 worth the go, and not a i7 board to go at.. Plus, the dang cpu cooler... 80 bucks! and no i7's in stock! lol

Great Stuff Mk!!! Great stuff!

Should've sold the 940 first, then tried for an i7 920.

Welcome to the darkside. Muhahahahahahahaha!!!!!

MKmods · Jun 26, 2009

lol, I put it off as long as I could. I was never going with Intel than I realized the Atom Lego comp was Intel. (even I couldnt be so petty forever)

The other cool thing is being able to do SLI or Crossfire, add to that when I get a bit more $$ I can upgrade to the Quads or i9? (I am a bit Intel ignorant at this time)

Im thinking its not gonna be hard to unload a $100 CPU when I do move up.

(I tried for several 920s here at TPU first but no go)

Wile E · Jun 26, 2009

I'm holding off on upgrading until i9 releases, I think. 6 cores and 12 threads sounds yummy.

MKmods · Jun 26, 2009

lol, since I practically dont use more than 1 six is a bit of excess for me....

But wont the x58 mobos run the i3,i7 and i9's?

Dam now I need to learn stuff...

I don't think any i3's will be coming to X58. Most likely just i7 and i9. And don't worry, it is confusing. Intel really dropped the ball on the naming scheme. All I can say is, after socket 1156 releases (P55 chipset), be sure you do your research before you buy a chip.

MKmods · Jun 27, 2009

Thanks Wile E :toast:

Mark_Hardware · Jun 27, 2009

Gawd thats a beautifull mobo! :twitch:

m4gicfour · Jun 28, 2009

I haven't checked the thread in a while, and it looks like there's been some nice progress.

I thought you abandoned the (visible, anyway) copper tubing after you changed from the AS MOBO, but seeing them on the GPUs; man that looks slick. Side note: you must enjoy soldering ATX connectors or something? This'll be what, third? fourth? on this project alone by the time you get the bloodrage done...

Scrizz · Jun 28, 2009

ohhh bloodrage, good stuff MK. :rockout:

I bet you're glad the connectors are in the same place :laugh:

No EVGA X58 Classified... :mad:

Just wondering,, do the ppl that like ati & amd also like fords, I prefer intel, nvidia & chevy. but I will use and have used ati or amd,, but will never drive a ford.

Cold Storm · Jun 28, 2009

I'd take a Ford before most makes only because I grew up with ford trucks... But, I'll take any set up as long as i can get the most out of it.. You gotta have a Intel/Nvidia set up, and A AMD/ati one!!! It's a must!

I have Intel and ATI, and prefer Ford over chevy or mopar. I'd push my Ford before even driving a Mopar, but I would take a Chevy for free, if given. lol.

I have Intel and ATi and I'm not into nVidia or AMD lately... I drive a Toyota which I'm happy with

Oh and I don't like Fords, or French cars (Peugeot, Renault, Citroen). Had an Opel but it crapped out on me.

buy hey no fanboysm

Intel Ati and I drive a...
POS Geo Metro!

Cuzza · Jun 29, 2009

Oh hell yeah, I am Ford and AMD all the way.

At least that's the talk. I'm typing this on an Intel and currently driving a Honda. lol

steelkane · Jun 30, 2009

I just put together a evga classified with a 4890, I wish it was mine.

You planning on doing some wonderful USB ports? *hint hint*

MKmods · Jul 1, 2009

welcome Craig :respect:

looking forward to your input.

LOL, remember I am old (feeble/decrepit may be a better description) and I get side tracked easily.....I am sending a bunch of stuff I just sold. I promise this afternoon when I get back from shipping it all out I will get out all my USB stuff and hook you up...

PS: thanks thracken for reminding me

craigbru · Jul 1, 2009

You're too kind Mark. Thanks to you, I've virtually guaranteed that I'll never get any real work done at work any longer...
