For a first build, it's great looking man. Tip my hat off to ya on it.

El Fiendo · Aug 2, 2009

You give me desk envy. My area is cluttered and covered with random computer parts. Nice clean work area, and a beautiful clean inside. For a first go I think a solid 8 is in order. I'd 8.5 if I could.

Where's the radiator? I don't get it? How does it work?

Like the Blue Glow.

Mussels · Aug 3, 2009

I see a lot of blue!

Triprift · Aug 3, 2009

Looks awesome mate love the blue and the cable management first class.

I gave it big plusses for MSI and ATI, and subtracted a few points because I didn't see an American Flag sticker anywhere on there.

Seriously, though -- what's your temps on those cards in crossfire? Does the top one run ridiculously hot?

About to get another 4670 for my setup, worried about this.

WhiteLotus · Aug 3, 2009

I would consider getting it off the floor. Not sure if anyone will agree with me but whenever i put my case on the floor it gets very dusty very quickly.

I would if I could. Nothing that I find matches the decor of the room. No thats not a joke. Anyway it has a dust filter on the front. As you can see in the pics nothing is really dusty and that two months without cleaning the system.

The top one idles at 65c and the bottom one idles at 55c. Keep in mind however the bottom one is a newer revision that is known to run cooler. They are good little cards that were OC right out of the box. But honestly I will never buy another Asus GPU again. HIS, MSI and Sapphire from now on.

Also just to let you know I also had a Visiontek that was a reference design and it idled at 85c! I wish I had it back. Sure it was hotter but it was a much better build than these Asus. Anything more you want to know?

KH0UJ · Aug 4, 2009

10/10 from me, cause we have the same light color motive LOL (Blue), bro can i ask a question? since you have the physics card, does it help working with physics on crysis? or increase FPS a bit?

Crysis doesn't use Physx software. I think it uses Havoc. However anything Physx based it does make a HUGE difference in. However when the new API is established it will be useless. I got it for 25 bucks and Ill use it until then. Anything more you wanna know?

HookeyStreet · Aug 4, 2009

Very nice m8, a solid 8/10 from me

MT Alex · Aug 8, 2009

Neato. I might even go so far as to say: Neato Bandito.

Ah, i know what you mean. I have my computer lifted of the floor by a wooden box contraption, and as much as i think it helps reduce the dust and makes it easier to reach. Well it does look like a computer on a wooden box...

My room gets stupidly dust, i must have very flaky skin or something because there is always dust to be cleaned up. Now that i leave the side panel off the tower 24/7 i don't have to clean it as much.

Your set up is impressive and also seems functional and practical at not (at a guess) a stupidly high cost.
