Added internal Rack Mount, ran out of space on the full tower; run three primary drives off it. Unfortunately can't do that with one, the Raptor. Also added the silocin drive holders, while not in the Rack, need to have them somwehere safe. Also a decent headset. |

Heatsink: Tuniq120 tower
...Thinking of rotating the tuniq 90 degrees, since the Antec 900 has that giant 200mm exhaust fan on top?
-Running 24/7 (distributed computing) full-load at 4.2ghz. Within thermal, but on the hot side. Core-temp shows one core hitting 69c @ 73f ambient. I have a TR-ultra120-eXtreme ordered for Monday delivery. Should get my temp down into the low 60's or I'll have to back down to 4.1GHZ.
-One of the best moves I ever made. Didn't want to spend the extra money and still have to watercool a "130Watt" i7-920. Plus I got a 12mb L2 cache

Drag and drop your WoW folder between HDs. Or save it to a big thumb drive. Presto! |

CPU: AMD Phenom 8650 Toliman 2.3GHz 3 x 512KB L2 Cache 2MB L3 Cache Socket AM2+ 95W Triple-Core Processor
Mobo: ASUS M3N72-D AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA nForce 750a SLI ATX AMD Motherboard
RAM: Patriot Extreme Performance 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit
GPU: 2x Geforce 7950 GT in SLI (original cards from previous computer) *NOTE: due to successive power outages, one of the cards somehow got fried, so only running one. Upgrading to EVGA GeForce GTS 250 Superclocked Edition 1GB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card in a couple weeks*
HDD: 1 Samsung HDD160JJ 160GB (one of my original drives), 1 Western Digital Caviar SE WD3200AAJS 320GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
Optical Drive: Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-110D (original from previous computer)
PSU: BFG Tech 650W (original from previous computer)
Case: Older Alienware case (original from previous computer)
Monitor: LG Flatron L1720P 17" LCD (upgrading soon)
Speakers: Logitech THX Z-5300 5.1 Speaker System (original from previous computer)
OS: Windows XP Pro SP3, Windows 7 Beta, Build 7000 *NOTE: The same power outages that took out one of my video cards also somehow made the Windows 7 OS unbootable / unusable. Can't even use it's automatic repair to fix it. Will have to wipe and reinstall, but will wait for the RC1 to come out to do it*
Before anyone asks, yes, I use a surge protector, or more precisely an Opti-UPS Voltage Stabilizer 1200. No idea really why both a video card and an OS went at the same time, but I suspect the card at least was starting to fail anyways. It's old, and was having problems in games.
