Funky. What's it got and how much did it cost you?

thats sick... where did you get the case from?

Awesome looking rig man :thumbsup

hey you might want to empty that trash can when you get a chance... :1orglaugh

What's the specs?

Pretty nice. and I love that operating temp.

I like the Tron-style circuit board graphics.

My buddy kevin will post the specs in a sec. I have the invoice somewhere but I dont know off hand. :)

DUke

damn that thing looks pretty cool...

looks pretty bad ass

sick case man congrats :)

check out 3dcool.com they have a ton of case mod accesories a lot of custom cooling products ;)

Bad ass! Nice looking rig mate. :thumbsup

thats looks pretty cool man.. nice setup:thumbsup

Hey guys,

It was a bitch to build, but its a fucking insane system, heres the specs.

-Dual Intel Xeon 3.4EA GHz with EMT64, 800MHz FSB, 1MB L2 Cache
-2 gigs ECC DDR ram
-700 Watt Power supply
-ATI PCI Express 256MB 800XT Radeon video card
-3ware PCI SATA 4 Port raid card
-Pioneer DVD burner
-all the other typical pc parts

The main system is on a raid 0 with two 10,000 rpm Raptor SATA hard drives, then there is another 700Gigs of storage on 4 250Gig SATA drives in a Raid 5 Array.

The whole thing is tied together in a Koolance Water cooling case. Both processors have a water block and then it runs to all six of the hard drives.

That temp that you see on the front is the temp of the processor, which means that even after running through two friggin hot processors and 6 hard drives, its still able to keep it running relatively cool.

It can do all this and still be extremely quiet.
The joys of a water cooled case.

Jesus Christ! You must do some serious editing. I thought my box was mean.

truly pimp! i assume there is zero chance of that water leaking?

but does it run doom 3?

:1orglaugh

Awesome setup man

SHIT! Must be a FAST bitch!:thumbsup

Well thats kinda the scary part I guess,
Nothing is 100% and all it would take is someone slicing the line somehow.

But as far as the lines coming off the water blocks, I dont think its very likely. I had to take one off myself, and I could hardly get it off. I had to get a razor blade and cut it off, it was pretty hard.

I ran the system without components for a whole night, pulled and tugged on the line and no leaks at all. Seems to be very solid.

I'm gonna load Doom 3 onto the beast before I send it out to Duke. You know... Break it in :thumbsup

I'll let you know how it handles.

What do you use to edit? Vegas?

cool, thanks for the feedback!

how much did it cost?

Well, Including a 19" NEC Flat panel, Wireless bluetooth Keyboard and mouse, kick ass Logitec speakers, and the whole system including the operating system it racked up to about $6500!

Yeah for sure, post the fps you get on ultra high res ...

If you want some gaming stress tests, go download the latest 3dmark and let us know what scores you get from that.

Compared to what I have been looking at thats not a bad price.

:hitit

WOW thats insane!

That sweet raid system added a lot to the price.

Nicest PC I've ever seen

nice

Thanks guys :thumbsup
Duke

Wow Duke... very fucking nice :thumbsup
I feel like a commodore 64 next to that beast.

Yeah it did, but the nice thing is that Duke has 700 Gigs of pure storage space that has some redundancy, In that 4 drive Array on the raid 5, if one drive fails, all he has to do is pop in another drive, rebuild the raid, and he is back up and running again.

Its totally worth the money if you dont feel like losing all your shit.

I learned the hard way a few months ago. Never put data on a raid system that isnt reduntant, lol

Is that thing turbo charged? :thumbsup

Fuck... your system looks like it's on life support with all those tubes. :1orglaugh















Just kidding, it looks wicked. Nice work. :thumbsup

where did you buy all the parts from?

very nice :thumbsup

you should have bought a mac g5

=)
