Scratch Build – In Progress Quad Complex - Base done

Let me prodly introduce you to Quad Complex!





Those 3 bottom monitors are 19" and top one is 22". Three one is connected with Matrox Triplehead2Go and 22" its plugged with normal VGA cable. And upper 22" monitor will be connect with wallmount wich has -15 to +5 angle of roll. I bought wallmount today with great discount. Normal price would be 59€ but luckily there was one pre-opened box wich i bought for 29€ great deal for me and bad one for store. Picture of wallmount

Size will be approximately on main base 90cm high 44cm wide and 23cm depth. I bought most of materials today and ill gonna start building in later this week it depends when i can get car.

As you can see im planning to built fullscale gaming computer behind on this system parts for the system will be:

Asus Striker II Formula
Intel E6750 cooled with Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme
4 x 1Gb Corsair XMS2 Memory
Zotac GTX 295 with Nitro module hope that UPS will deliver it on time (I had ATi HD4870x2, but it wont work with 4320x900 resolution )
Samsung 320gb Sata drive
Random DVD Sata burner wich i will swap to new when i can cet more money.

But i just dont know how to built it in to it so ill need to first built whole base before i can plan anything else to it.

But what a heck, iv done some few plans already, as you can see from this picture:


So bottom where is CD-drive im thinking to build somekind door(??) to front of it and put all controllers, cd-drive and otherthings behind that.

But anyways stay tuned for updates!

 

interesting
not a big fan of wood
but thats your choice not mine

 

It just a budget question and tools. Budget is for whole case 80e (that includes wallmount)

 

how are you going to protect all of your hardware on the back of the base?
are you going to have the top left open for what ever disaster that my occur?
are you going to shield it with plexiglass or something like that?
or even a metal mesh would work
the metal mesh would also prevent any interfearance from any radio or other waves of that sort
just my thoughts
not trying to bust your bubble
just wondering about any holes

 

That is good question, but liek i said ill built this first and plan computer later.

And im planning to wrap whole case to leather, easy, cheap and luxorious material. Because it looks aful if i paint it.

 

Quick raw plan picture.

Green switch are Zotac Nitro panel buttons, big red is show-off for bios reset and blue steel with blue led ring button is power switch.

 

I like it

If you get crazy, you could throw a really big LCD TV up at the top (like 37"+) - of course you could do that later too.

 

its a really cool idea it will be fun to see how its going for you.

 

An all-in-one computer........with four displays! Ha ha, I like it!

 

That TV would weight so much that i need to make much much much more bigger base to it :<

 

Insane! imma keep an eye on this. Good luck

 

Just... awesome.

Need pics of progress!!

 

Looks very interesting, keep up the good work!

 

looks great so far, lets see it get built!

 

Sorry that i haven't been able to show you building pictures, there is bit problem. There is raging stomach flu in my sisters house, wich basement im building this. Stomach flu no thanks.


But that has given me some time figuring out that how i can mount computer back of this complex. So i proudly present few pictures:






And check this out what UPS delivery guy brought me from Germany


Zotac GTX295 + Nitro overclocking panel

Oh yeah baby! This is really the beast!

Some overclockin results:

normal / OC'd
Core: 576 / 686
Shader: 1242 / 1442
Memory: 1998 / 2118

I think it can go much much furter but then in need to raise voltage, but im not doing it yet because this is enigough to any nowday game.


Also check some pictures about my current computer.

 

Nice grafics card!
But isn't it cleaner to build the system inside the vertical stand?

 

Of course! That is hinged so you can open it easily if something ****ed up you know.

 

now that looks good
a couple of fan grills wouldnt hurt for the top of that box either
and maybe a large vent on the bottom of the hinged part for air to get in would be a good idea IMHO
but its your build
good idea though

 

I can't wait to see you start building, hopefully the stomach flu leaves so you can get to work!

 

Yeah im desparately waiting that too...

But anyways it seems that i have some extra money and i will buy budget watercooling to this.
