Oo men,, this is heavy duty monster rig.. but is also very clean.. i demand you more pics please.. you have a very nice cooling sistem.. i love what yoo got
Great job 10/10
And I dont think like Binge said whats best for your computer - 8/10 if that was the case every computer in here would get lower ratings.
I would still love to see this beast on water.
I gave you an 8.
Second... where did you buy that case window? I've checked the Lian Li website, but it doesn't look like they sell them directly. I also checked Newegg (nothing) and FrozenCPU (their own, really expensive version). I want that case, but only if I can get that window.
BTW i love the case! its big...really really big! has precut holes for water system, duel power supply tray, removable motherboard tray, memory and CPU 120mm fan and more.. but just be aware that there r some drawbacks such as being extremely heavy, plus the panels are quite difficiult to remove and insert.
this rig & its specs deserves a noble price..^^
excellent work..^^
Ive also uploaded this photo into this comment which contains even more views of my PC...the pic is sorta cutoff on this website so please feel free to check out my deviantart website to see the full pic at fc38.deviantart.com/fs39/f/2008/360/3/9/QD_Blu_Ray_280_i7_by_iamthewizard2.jpg

Looking forward to your updates
have replaced frontal intake fans with a massive 90 and 110 CFM airflow LED Fans!! and have added 10cm green LEDs near the DEEPCOOL HDD red fans to visually accentuate that area more. will wait till GTX 300 comes out in Dec'09 and will duel SLI those then. :) But for the next few months, dont think there will be much changes - spent WAAAY too much time and money on it so far! LOL ill keep it as it is for now.
Games so far that i have played on MAX settings, full native res and with resultant >60fps average:
Crysis DX10 ( 2x AA)
Crysis Warhead DX10 ( 2x AA)
Red Alert 3 (full AA)
COD4: Modern Warfare (full AA)
COD4: WaW (full AA)
Mass Effect (full AA)
Bioshock (does not have AA)
Fallout 3 (full AA)
Company of Heroes DX10 (full AA)
Dead Space
Far Cry2 DX10 (8QAA)
Mirror's Edge PhysX (full 16QAA)
Prince of Persia (full AA)
Unreal Tournament 3 PhysX update (forced 16QAA)
World in Conflict (full 16QAA)
Stalker Clear Sky (full AA)
Assassin's Creed (full AA)
FEAR (full AA)
Supreme Commander
Left 4 Dead (full 16QAA)
The only game that doest run >60fps average is GTAIV which sruggles---most ppl on net saying not 100% compatible with SLI and it's a bad and buggy port from console..so it doesnt really count. still waiting for my gaming rig to be pushed to the limit :) perhaps upcoming FEAR 2 will strain it a little more
sell that W/C items and save for futre rigs!!
+1 mate.
Dang, lovely man. really nice
