[legionaire45]

You should seriously consider rewiring your PSU cabling and redoing your watercooling loop. Your pump will be able to push water a lot better even if you just set the intake barb to face upwards (it will be easier for it to prime itself).

[OmegaDragon]

That looks like some kind of mad scientist computer O.o

[StankBacon]

no kidding lol... that shit is sloppy.

[Idjiki]

:lmao:

:lmao:

the thing screams... fastest computer i've ever worked on or built..

It's very overclockable that's why the spot cooler is there for the Ram bank
The PSU cables are all tucked in underneath.. this Lian Li case has the PSU down at the bottom and the cables are tucked where no air is needed

it took days of thought to fit the water loop in...that triple 120 rad is huge...i had to modify the case and rad installation hardware to get it to work well
so I'm not changing that
the head pressure on my pump is really good so I dont have any flow issues with it
The loop is only for the CPU and the rest is all air cooled
the other cables are all managed and away from the mobo so that is also good
There is also a fan controller and thermal sensor system which only added to my cables but it was needed for oc'ing
The 2nd front bay has a hot swap SATA HDD in it for backups and complete system images (750 GB)
I have a 2nd vid card for ATI crossfire but I haven't put it in b/c the case will just be too full and air flow will prob develop poor flow areas
i replaced the stock passive north bridge cooler with an active cooling one
With 8 gigs Ram i was able to turn off the swap file alltogether. I get no lag at all with any of my running programs since they are all in active memory...i click and it opens no matter how long an app sits idling.
All in all, i've oc'd it more than anyone else i've seen with Liquid and the QX6700 proc. I almost got times similiar to the best oc's of the x6800 which is so much easier to oc with only 2 cores producing heat... TEC cooling of course blows my oc out of the water (pun) so I'm only comparing water loop systems.
I super pi'd it to 1 million in about 9-11 secs (i think...its been awhile)
and i stress tested the hell out of it... my highest oc's would eventually fail so i backed off a bit for stability
so its a 2.66 ghz by default and i had it oc'd between 3.7 and 4.0...over 1 ghz oc'd and i could get more with only 4 gigs ram (2 gig cards don't oc as well as 1 gig cards)
i actually don't need to oc it permanently right now b/c even at defaults the thing rips
when my hardware gets really out of date (in about a year or 2) I will oc it again to keep up or just build a new one with TEC cooling.

[CrAsHOvErRide]

Kinda senseless...I don't want to see how much $$$ you have to spent to maintain that thing (electricity costs you know).

One thing I don't get...for what purpose? You don't put the second ATI in there so no crossfire...so no gaming rig? I don't see what you want to do with that thing :P

[Idjiki]

you're kidding right?

it goes fast with no lag and runs games really well. If and when i need to i will put in the crossfire...for now it purrs like a kitten no matter how hard i push it.

Maybe if i told you I work on a computer all day and night long...If you do that you will want a pc that doesn't quit on you ever.

hey, ive got like 15 pc's and 5 servers. you want pics of them? none are as extreme as this thing is.

[CrAsHOvErRide]

My computer never quit on me neither. What do you work on with your computer?

[Idjiki]

so its like this, i can have all my editing tools up, be working on client networks in multiple remote sessions (diff types), outlook, as many ie or firefox windows i want (i do a lot of online lookups and referencing), multiple virtual machines, etc you name it ... and then open up halo for a while and play w/o any problems. All this while another profile is also running with all its apps. that's alot and i do know computers.. most wouldn't do that at all and if at all, then poorly.... and all that within the available memory... i dont care what anyone says, no page file = faster

Are your PC pics in here? there are too many posts to sort through.
i'd love to see it.

[legionaire45]

Look through this thread and tell me that you can spend at least 5 minutes to reroute the wiring so it looks as decent as some of these please. (http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=445933) If you are spending thousands of dollars on computer components you might as well treat them decently. Having wire management that is sloppy like that not only looks like crap but puts stress on components/the superstructure of your case, affects airflow negatively and just seems flat out lazy. Look at this case for example:
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b161/sdkevin/WC5.jpg
Beautiful wiring/tubing job and at most all the guy had to do was spend an hour or two tidying things up.
EDIT: Here's another one:
http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/3935/water46zr.gif

The main reason I am pointing this out is because while your pump (I'm assuming it's a Lange D4 or D5) has a lot of head pressure it still can have trouble priming while the top barb is not facing upwards. I have a D4 myself and have found this out personally, and my brother has a D5 which suffers from the same issue according to him. It's a limitation of the pump because that is the way it was designed to be operated. I also found out that this also causes extra wear and tear on the pump because it has to work harder, and while the MTBF on the Lange pumps is very good I'm sure you want your pump to last as long as possible, and simply rotating it around a bit will help with that.

Another thing, letting your extra video card sit there doing nothing because of "airflow issues" is stupid because "by the time you need it" your hardware will be outdated anyway and the extra ~50% performance boost (if you are lucky) will not help you much at all. Most games don't care if you have crossfire enabled because the performance boost isn't really all that much. ATI generally does have good driver support for older products but what happens if they stop making crossfire profiles for your video cards and any games you play now act as if there is only one card installed? Then you have yourself an expensive paperweight. Blaming airflow for not running Crossfire is either stupidity on your part (You have a big ass fan literally right over your video card) or simply sheer laziness, that is the bottom line.

Your CPU will probably be fine for a good long while but even now the Penryn CPUs are way faster clock for clock and they tend to overclock extremely well, even on air cooling (I've heard reports of people easily achieving 4Ghz on AIR cooling). These CPUs are going to be what developers target, in particular the Nehalem generation with insane amounts of memory bandwidth and up to 8 cores. A lot of games are finally making the shift to Dual core finally, some games that will be released this year are going to support/utilize up to 4 cores (I believe Crysis already does) and it isn't hard to see that by the end of the year when the octo core CPUs are released that they will begin to target octo core setups for the high end as well. I can easily see quad cores becoming mandatory for games within the next 2 years and octos being the recommended spec.

Basically, if you think that your computer is going to stay in the high end spec range for more then 2 years without upgrades then you are delusional :D. Enjoy your hardware while it is high end.

Here is my mid-high range machine, same pic as before but I'll replace it with a better non-blurry screenshot later. The 8600 GT is actually in my second bedside-content backup/portable Source modding machine (I'll try to get some pics of that to spice things up a bit too.

[Idjiki]

legionaire, if i had a problem with my stuff i'd disclose that right away.. i don't at all so...
hardware is always evolving.. my stuff is already a little out of date but the thing still does the job and then some so...
my case is as tidy as you or i could ever make it... its a small case that is meant for air cooling alone. i adapted in the loop b/c i wanted to and i wanted to oc the hell out of it so....
if you know the case i have then you should be reasonable about your expectations...
You are using a full tower case... if my case were a full tower than it would look more to your liking...

anyway, i just disagree that's all... i appreciate the time you took to post and i'm glad to see that there are some serious pc builders in this community, and i love your pc its awesome.. good job!

[Idjiki]

i'm lovin The Beast pc... that is just plain imaginative and wacky... why not its all just ducting... i'd close the case and put my dirty clothes pile all around it to hide it... then take it out once in awhile to scare the kiddies.

[legionaire45]

Hey, I'm just a computer facist, sorry about making that post sound so angry xD. Thanks for the complement. I could do a lot of work on mine (in particular my tubing is getting very thin ;___; ), but I'll save that for when one of these (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115039) comes down in price :3.

http://xs125.xs.to/xs125/08134/stp80034_copy711.jpg
Overall a nice system although the PSU that came with it isn't the best and a standard sized unit won't go in. I have a Delta tri-blade fan in there that can blow at a bit over 120CFM when maxed, but it is ear piercingly loud so I have to turn it down via that Zalman fan controller xD. I need it though, the hard drives and the shitty Celeron D in there get pretty hot. As soon as I upgrade the main CPU in my main rig imma install my current C2D in that box and have a very nice PC there. Oh, and before anyone asks - yes, that is a cassette drive on the top :3.

i wouldnt be laughing if i was you.

considering my milk cartons, duct tape and Coke bottle filled computer actually has more air flow then your ball of mess.

[Idjiki]

it wasn't a diss...
I actually do like The Beast a lot..
very imaginative duct work, i've done some similiar setups b4 so been there done that...
my last ducting job (with tape and cardboard) was to help the server get its hot air out of the small closet it was in and help avoid it feeding hot air into the 2nd server that is also in the closet... got to be a little sauna in there... the ducting helped out tremendously

fyi - the air flow in what you call my ball of mess is actually pretty great... the case is designed to outperform other air-cooled cases by about 25% or so (something like that, the exact number is on the Lian-Li site). The spot cooler is something you may want to look into... cheap and works great, plus you can set the fan to 3 different speeds depending on noise lvls and air flow needs... its doing a great job of cooling my bank of 8 GB ram.

so kudos man.. no diss

legion, i have built a very similiar pc as the one posted above.. its eery how similiar...
yes, that case comes with a crappy PSU... i had 2 fail on me
i replaced it eventually with another one that did fit and is still working... I forget the model/make now since its been awhile...
i luv that case and its handle...even tho the handle feels a little fragile it hasn't broken yet...good for lan parties if your into that.

Then I decided to get a metal one. eXactmat, its one of the sturdy ones, 1/8th inch aluminum with anodized sides. Or get something like it, cause that looks like some heavy wear. Oh and I rewired my computer how I should have the first when I reassembled it after the RMA, my temps drops 2-3 C at idle just from moving the wires out of the way. Also, whats up guys, haven't been on in a while.

Xetsuei™;258520']Gross you got it pre-built.
I didnt get a pre-built. Look up ^^^^ thats prebuilt. I had it built from parts that i choose. I built the system in my head, gave them parts list, actually called back and had it redone twice. Almost put in a 3rd 8800 but heard 9 series was already coming out. I dont care though. I wasnt totally qualified to do it and recieved a 3 year no question warranty and about $1000.00 worth of extras (5.1 surround sound, new hp all-in-one printer,100gig sata drive, alll cables needed and then some including sata cables and hdri adapters, etc) that I wasnt going to get making it myself. I think i did pretty good for $1570.00 after a few rebates. :lol:

[alby]

Almost put in a 3rd 8800 but heard 9 series was already coming out.Even if you did get a third 88GTS, it wouldn't work with the other two. Good computer though.

[paintballakid5]

you have to have the same exact same Gfx card..

[InnerGoat]

same model, different brand is ok

[alby]

Yes, but you can't have three 8800 GTS's in SLI together.

[Terin]

I heard that you could crossfire 4 8800GT's with a single AGP slot, though. :v:

Yeah, that must be so completely impossible because idg why each gfx card has 2 SLI connectors at the top. :P

My 8800GTX's have two SLI connectors, you cannot use three way SLI. Besides that, his card(s) don't even have two connectors.

Once again, you cannot put 8800GTS's in 3 way SLI.

[paintballakid5]

you can have up to 3 8800GTX's at once..(at least that as many as i've seen) you can probably have more..;)

You can only have 3 88GTX/Ultras/98GTX and only 2 88GT/GTS/98GX2.

To Dvorak!

[JunkfoodMan]

...wow. free time much?

It wouldnt take that long, 30 mins tops probably...

[klange]

It wouldnt take that long, 30 mins tops probably...
Took me five minutes to rearrange the keys on my keyboard, actually. Pretty simple task. I'm still not very used to Dvorak and have been typing in QWERTY for the most part. I really only changed my keyboard because I can flawlessly touch type in QWERTY, so I don't need a QWERTY keyboard in front of me. Thought I'd learn Dvorak over the summer, see if I can't get my typing speed up to where it is with QWERTY, maybe faster.

[Rob Oplawar]

I have to say, that is one butt-ugly machine right there.

[Cortexian]

I on the other hand, love that design and want the case.

Do they sell the case by itself? Preferably not in orange?

[Lateksi]

Do they sell the case by itself?
I don't think so. This is just one of those super marketed gaming computers that always have the line "give your cash to us, we make you frag more".

[Cortexian]

I realize this... Maybe after it's actually released they'll sell the case... If not I'll have to see how cheap I can configure one...

[Lateksi]

Heh.. "send me the leftovers!"

You may see a few on Ebay

I can't wait till I get my new monitor on Wednesday, just order a 22" Acer P223Wwd. Its got some nice specs. I'll post a pic when I get it, snagged it for $199 off Newegg.

Nice setup you got there, but why XP instead of Vista?

[kenney001]

vista gives higher performance on games and is alot more stable....
When I got 7 FPS on crysis on maximum in vista, I got 17fps with the same settings in xp.

What the fuck? There's no way a 510W PSU will run all that shit, I don't care if it's PC Power and Cooling. I just don't see it happeneing.

E: Also what the fuck, BTX. Why?

[kenney001]

yeah-no. What he said^^

you would need at least a 700watt.

[Xetsuei]

I'm fairly sure a Corsair 620W or a decent 650W+ could do it.

Yes it could... Badly... I wouldn't want to risk using a PSU that small with all that in a rig, but I'm pretty sure it [i]could[/u] run it. Personally, I always buy substantially larger PSUs than required so that I don't need to worry about "running out" of power.

[Patrickssj6]

[i]could[/u]
epic fail lulz

You people don't realize how much power 600 Watt in real life really is. You have no real comparison it's all relative.

600 Watts....600 Joules per Second. That's the energy you need to lift 600kg one square meter accelerated in one second. Non of you ppl out there could create this much power/energy.

Thanks, the desk is actually the newest piece i got, at the same time as my new keyboard. I recently got a webcam aswell, but I'm not taking pictures today my room is a mess because i haven't tidied as its Bungie day, im just playing some Halo 3.

Oh and the TV the left is a 36" Full HD LCD. And my screens are just 2x 17".

[TheGhost]

So you've got 2 rigs, 2 hi res monitors, a laptop, 2 HD TVs and a Xbox, right? Nice.

Now all I have is a laptop and an okay monitor. :(

The TVs are my dad's old ones that were just sitting around after he upgraded to larger, better ones. And the XBox was a gift. =)

I just installed my new RAID array (Raid 0) with two 500gb drives, which now works as a 1TB - NVIDIA STRIPE drive.

Anyone else tried RAID arrays before? This was my first attempt and it was pretty easy. This new 1TB Raid Array works as my capturing drive for HD (Intensity Pro) and is my second drive. My main drive and my external (500Gb) work as my saving/OS drives.

[Ki11a_FTW]

He's obviously lying, you see how he said "I had like 10 people saying I dont have it or im lieing"? Well, he DOESN'T have it, it's his siblings (who probably work, no doubt) and not him... The way he said it makes me think he tried to tell his interweb buddies that HE owned all that stuff, when really he doesn't.

WAY TO LIE YOUR WAY INTO THE FORUMS!

Okay okay... Just kidding, Welcome to the forums man. What's your street address again btw?

Cripes, we need a sticky describing the awesome power of the [shot] tag for new users.
Also, why the display clone in the first pic?

If I had a remotely good camera atm, I'd take a new pic of my spare-parts box from a year ago (which I'll finally be bringing home, at which point there will most definitely be pictures; specs are actually pretty awesome for spare parts: 2GB DDR RAM, 1.8GHz P4, 500 Watt totally underused power supply, GeForce FX [forgot the exact number, but it's old-school PCI to put things in perspective])

I dont have it clone, I just had it like that cause I was playing a game. It doesnt allow the screen to be dragged on to 2 of them.

Are the Logitech diNovo keyboards any good? They look to thin and breakable to me... You actually game on that 52"? I'd never want to game on anything over a 38" full HD (at least 1920x1080) TV...

Best keyboards and mouse I have yet had. Long lasting battery, quick charge, and no. They are not breakable. About big screens, its cause I dont have a TV, so these screens sub in for: Games, Movies, Shows, Web surfing, and.... pleasure :XD: jk

Why the heck are you on this crusade to prove something that doesn't need to be proven?

[Joshflighter]

I have no idea, lol.

[Cortexian]

Yea, you obviously didn't comprehend my post... I said that "you" don't own it all, you're siblings do. Which you confirmed is true.

I believed that you actually had access to it... It that hard to accumulate that much computer/entertainment hardware if you spread it out over multiple people... I have a couple cousins (brothers) that have similar setups in their homes...

[Joshflighter]

Of course I dont own it all, I own the ones in the living room. But I ussually play games on the others too.

[Bodzilla]
