Heres my rig built her bout a month ago.
haf x
i7 960
cooler master v8 cpu cooler
asus rampage III formula
corsair 120gig ssd
12gigs gskill ripjaw ram
2 cf hd 6950s
1000w ps
2tb seagate hdd
1tb wd hdd
windows 7 64bit ultimate
is hooked up to a 1920x1200 24in hp monitor and a 52in 1080p sony lcd.
Was my first time building a computer, goal was to build a rig that could run scII on extreme and play a 1080p video on my tv. Most stressful part was attaching the cpu cooler(didn't want it to be loose but didn't want to over tighten) and the seconds waiting for it to post.
Motherboard maybe a bit of overkill since I don't really oc, but I like the space it gives between the videocards so heat isn't a big issue.

pic of her half finished and then completed all closed up.

Seeing all these great builds makes me want to pimp up my own rig. I'm thinking a nice set of decent case fans. Ambient lighting and an aftermarket cooler for my GPU.

Will post results when I'm finished (probably in about a month :) )

Thanks! One thing I absolutely can't stand is when you can see the LED or neon itself instead of just the light it gives off.

I bought flexible 3" led strips from auto zone that were meant for car use and have them wired up via moles to the 12v rail. Was pretty cheap and they're able to be tucked in small places out of sight

Thanks, gotta figure out what I'm going to do to cover some of the cables right at the psu. Might try and cut some black metal mesh to make half of a cube that slides over everything there. Who knows. Not a real big priority and can probably use a zip tie in the meantime to cinch them together.

That'll be a great idea, that or a aluminum plate in black or something. Mesh you'll have to get mesh with very small holes so you can't see much behind it.
 
Wheres the Patty Melt 2000? :laugh:
 
Not pc atm, but just set up my z-5500's :) man they sound so much better then my old Creative P7800's.

Hello everybody, I took on Sunday to give the PC a spring clean, as if this were not enough, I decided to take a photograph, only saved one picture, below. AFF

Looking good Warlock.

These coolers on these 6950's are extremely poor, so I managed to fit my Accelero Xtreme to one and what a difference. I have another one shipping to me now.

Stock cooler = 40c idle / 70c load

Accelero = 30c idle / 48c load
