My brand new rig (last upgrade was 4 years ago). Started building in April and I considered it officially finished this week after all my OC'ing was done.

Rig:
Case: Stacker 830 eVO
PSU: OCZ Gamer XStream 700W
Mobo: EVGA 680i NF68-A1-D00 P26
CPU: Conroe E6600 Dual Core 2.4ghz
RAM: 2x1GB CellShock DDR1000 4-4-4-12-2T @ 2.2V
GPU: EVGA 8800GTX
DVD-RW: 2x Nec AD-7170S
Audio: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatal1ty Pro
HDD: 3x Seagate Barracuda 320GB 16MB SATA II |
Display: Dual Samsung 22'' 226BW [S Panels]
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit

Cooling Setup
- Swiftech MCR320 Triple Radiator (4x120mm, controlled via Kama Meter)
- Swiftech MCP655 Pump
- Masterkleer 7/16'' Tubing

Water blocks
CPU: D-Tek Fuzion Block
GPU: EK 8800GTX Full coverage Acetal
North Bridge: EK EVGA 680i NB Block Acetal
South Bridge: EK NF block rev1.2 Acetal

Overclock
CPU: 3.6GHZ (450mhzx8)@ 1.5475vcore
- Temps Load/Idle: 58C/41C
GPU: 629/1000 on 158.18 / 675/1100 on 160.15
- Temps Load/Idle: 43C/37C

Did not bother with benchmarks because I think it's for losers All I care about are real world performance increase. I did run SuperPi to please my friend and scored 13s on the 1M test... that's it.

It was the first time ever I built my own rig, let alone install a water loop. I went through 2x Asus boards (P5B Dlx, P5N32E Plus) and then settled on the 680i. EVGA customer service is 5 stars.

All I can say is that I learned a lot building it, it was a lot of fun, and it's a really satisfying rig as well! I can certainly enjoy gaming better (can't wait for DX10 games like Crysis) and the dual 22'' is absolute sweetness when designing my websites !

Misc cable sleeving and water-cooling plumbing.

The DVD drive is 'stealthed' using a modified bay cover, push the lower RH corner and it will open. Nice, clean smooth look.
