:| This is my jealous face. I'm stuck in the workshop fixing beige boxes that look like they might be oplder than me than me at the moment. Some days you get to build awesome rigs, some days you have to do this crap :/ Well done though! I assume this is for folding since it's in the folding forum? Twi'll be a good rig (PS you have good taste in RAM My PC's live on OCZ Reaper )
Cheers It will be used for folding (VM SMP's) but its also going to replace my home server so will be running server 2003 enterprise for now until I get 2008. Yeah I like the OCZ reapers too mate, have them in a few overclocked PC's and they are solid, plus these are rated : 7-7-7-24 where as most 12800 kits are 9-9-9-24 or 8-8-8-24 Its all built and running sweet but because of a few case cooling issues ive not overclocked it yet. Am in 2 minds about getting a new case before I overclock it but im properly skint now after buying this little lot lol
I have a Lian-Li PC70 Full tower case at the mo which ive put 3 x 120mm quiet fans in the top which do well but theres not a lot a cool air getting in, ive uprated the 80mm fans in the front but they are now too noisy and still dont cut it enough for the i7 gear. The GTX260 I bought to replace my old 8800GTX, I wasnt going to bother until the new dx11 GPU's come out but ive got back into FarCry 2 and my heavy overclocked 8800GTX still struggles a bit at 1920x1200 so its been de-moted to dedicated folding. The GTX260 was only £135 and its got a big factory overclock on so will be using that for gaming for now and folding when not gaming! OK I could of just pulled a 9800GX2 out from my main rig to game on but I would drop 9000ppd lol Anyways just now I had a weak moment with my credit card and decided the i7 rig needs a good home with good cooling so bought me one of these Antec 1200's I got a Antec 900 II for my gaming PC anyway which I highly rate so went for its bigger bro
