What's Your Computer Build?

[seoul4korea]

So after what seems like for ever but I finally will be getting my MOBO back tomorrow.... I had to call them a lot to find out what was going and finally I was told that they could repair it so it was sent to CA so that a replacement board could be mailed to my house.... took forever! I'll get some photos up of my set up when it's done..... again.

Well I got the MOBO in and everything is up and running after I got it back together. That other MOBO must have had a lot of problems because now I can OC with ZERO issues.

4.5ghz OC = ) Thank goodness for Stepping though.

Took it down to 4.4ghz due to over voltage.
Here's a aida64 screen:

Upgraded my raid to 5x current model Seagate barracudas. A huge improvement over the 1 TB ES.2s I used to use (shakes hand in the general direction of Seagate for the firmware mess).

System still dual socket 1366 with two 2.66 GHz 4-cores (plus hyperthreading), 24 GB, GTX 275 and GF 6200 triple-head.

Holy.... Sorry for the HUGE Photos.... FAIL....

I don't mind the huge photos. I'm drooling over the awesomeness of your machine. I'm holding out until black friday before I make my purchase. Thankfully I have no commitments until then.

Thanks, I wish it had more slots up front though for a fan controller.... But that's just me lol.

It was a blast to build. Some parts carried over from last build, some parts were heavily discounted, some even free. (Work in the PC industry)

The case and much of the water cooling parts are a long-term investment.

Nice setup, how I'd love more SSDs. Where are the Barracuda drives hiding in the case? I can;t locate them in the pictures above.
