Excellent job on the rig Whilhelm.
I love it!
chk my rig...www.techpowerup.com/gallery/1832.html
curious. what made you choose ATI over Nvidia? ive been scanning review sites, and all tests seem to support the fact that the gtx280 is the all-hailed best.
gj with cable management. nice choice with the modest yet gleaming colour scheme :)
I have a crossfire board and overall the 4870X2 is better then the GTX280. The performance that I get out of two 48701GB is almost exactly the same as the X2 so therefore I decided on ATI.

Oh and yeah I know some of the pics aren't that great but I am getting a new camera soon so I will post some updated shots.
Clamps are a pain to deal with plus it adds cheap factor to an expensive build, compression barbs all the way.
Where is your system and system specs so I can give you a low score for some small detail.
It's nice but you put computer parts in your case and I think it would be a lot nicer if it had cereal in it instead. I like cereal a lot.
Yeesh. Some people.
Seriously though, It is obviously a very well built system with a ton of time and attention to detail put into it. You get a 8 from me for a beautiful rig, but your presentation is rather hasty... don't you agree?
I know but that was the best camera I had to deal with. I am getting a sweet new camera after Christmas and I am dual looping the system soon. So there will be a Revision 2 of this project.
Oh and by the way do you have any 1/2" compression fittings left?
Anyways, I bumped you up to a 9 as promised. Thanks for helping me unload some of my extra fittings.
