Here's a near final setup of everything :)

Well here's everything, not quite finished yet but its definitely all getting there :)

Break down of what we have there :)

In the two Danger Den cases we have my i7 rigs

The two in the middle are my two AMD XP machines, they run both Windows 98 and XP. Mainly for older games and such.

The two on the outside are my two AMD 64 machines, they just run Windows XP at the moment and again are for the older games like GTA Vice City for example as it doesn't work right on Windows 7!!

I can put down the specifications if people want, but that's the general over view :)
 
Nice dude, love it!!!

How much storage space is in that DD case on the left? Looks like 6 hdds? Maybe 6TB? :)

What gpu is on the far left bench? Doesn't look like a GX2, is it an older dual gpu board?
 
Well whats in the one on the left has 8 x 74Gb Seagate Cheetahs 15k.5's :) They are going in Raid 0 over two sets of 4 drives. There's a Sammy F3 1.5Tb drive in there as well just for screen shots and downloads and stuff, not much in there really :)
The one on the right has 2 x Hitachi IBM SAS drives, 15k spin but not as fast as the Cheetah's by far. But it also has a pair of Velcoraptor 150Gb drives, they are in Raid 0 too and of course the spare Sammy F3 1.5Tb drive in that too :) The Hitachi drives are for the OS (Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit) and the Velcoraptors are for games, just games :)

The AMD rigs but the KR7A have 74Gb Raptors in them and the two AMD 64 rigs will have a 500Gb drive in each just for games and screen shots really. The KR7A has two 200Gb IDE Maxtor drives in it, since it doesnt have SATA connectors. It runs Windows 98 and XP. Both installed on separate drives. The NF7-S Rev two just has two 74Gb Raptors. Its a pretty nice system with the 9800 Pro thats installed in it :)

I have 3 2Tb drives which I will need to get more of as they are going in my server and that will possibly have the 'spare' 3Gb 580....

The card in the DFI 939 board is a 7950 GX2 :) Doesnt work too bad but I'm going to sell that and put in my 8800GT's I have laying about here. But if I can find another EVGA 8800 GT, then one each would go in my i7 rigs and be used for Phsyx :)

Any other questions, fire away :D
 
Ahh, 7950x2 forgot about those.

So many mechanical drives!!!!!!

Where's the SSD love? :)

Oh and I can always use a spare 580 in my rig :D
 
I know it's a PC thread but here's my project the past few days. Had to pickup a modchip to fix a screw-up on my part. Right now it's got an 80GB drive.

@phill

All I have to say is WOW! That's a nice setup you got going.:rockout:
 
That's a lot of hard drives you got there.

Nice work!

SSD's I'm not so sure on and I bought these SAS drives just when the SSD started coming out :) However tho, I would like to point out, these do max out my Adaptec 5805 controller card with a read/write speed of just over 1.2Gb/sec :D But that was with my old Q6600 setup, I have no idea what its gonna be like in my i7 setup!!

I'm aiming for another 3 cards to go in the 762 rig, but I wont be putting in the 580's... I'm aiming for the newer series of cards, hopefully with at least 3Gb's of ram in them!! :D

Well thank you :) I have managed to keep it down to this amount of PC's but I hope I dont get any more!! :D I've got to get two 24" screens for the 4 AMD setups and a few PSU's but thats it. Everything else is pretty much setup and running :) I just hope I'm doing all of this justice in how its being presented and setup :) And naturally, everything is running overclocked bar the GPU's :D

XBMC FTW! I liked Avalaunch but with XBMC I can set it up to use a PC drive. Don't worry i got ideas! I use UnleashX as a default.xbe launcher for homebrew discs.

Mine broke when attempting a tsop(onboard) BIOS flash to function like a modchip. Ygpm.
 
PWM= Pulse Width Modulation.

Fans that use PWM can typically vary their speed very easily, and can start with a low voltage.


Easy to spot, too...requires a 4th lead.

Well I bought these mate :)

I've only got two of them in there at the moment but with the highest screen settings and all of the eye candy turned up, I'm hitting at least 60FPS but that's at 7680 x 1600 with Ultra settings and 8 x QSCAA or whatever its call turned on.
I havent overclocked either card yet, so there's still more to give I believe. I'm running for a CPU an i7 920 @ 4.42Ghz which is my 24.7 speed. I havent bothered trying for higher speeds yet as this is just right and I honestly cant be bothered with messing about with re-starts and crashes!! :)

This is the slowest PC... My other build is a 762 and that'll have at least 3 GPU's in it but then I am unsure just what next year will bring as I will be upgrading then I think :)

Looking amazing!
 
Hey guys! it's been a while since I last posted here, but I've been catching up to some of the latest builds, and man, I gotta say that phill's build is the most impressive I've seen in a long time! Congrats mate! :toast:

In my last post I mentioned I was going to update my pics as soon as I got my third GTX580, but instead, I decided to get one of these puppies:

IMG_0031.jpg


The box was a little banged up by the UPS guy :( but the goodies inside were in pristine condition thankfully :p I also got some new red cold cathodes and a couple 200mm LED fans and a 120 LED fan for the H70:

IMG_0058.jpg


IMG_0059.jpg


I also moved my H70 from the top of my case to the back of it, to make room for the two 200mm fans, I'm planing to replace it for an H100 pretty soon and move it again to the top of the case as it can fit a 240mm radiator without any problems:

IMG_0056.jpg


Finally, this is how my rig looks now with the two 25.5" monitors on the sides and the 27" 3D monitor in the middle, eventually I plan to get two more 27" 3D monitors for full surround gaming, but it'll take a while to convince the wife about that investment :p

Any comments will be greatly appreciated guys, thank you! :)

I use those Cooler Master hard drive cages too. Perfect for benchtops.
 
Dang. I really want the HAF X but I'm always too poor for any upgrades :(
