Sweet PC Cata, now you got something pretty to look at while you are waiting for the next round of arena to start. But sadly I think some parts may go missing during a lan, I'm sure that I can make that memory fit my PC (with a hacksaw).

Im sorry to say Cata, none of those components will work well together :(

In that case, Ill take the:

HDD's: 4x SATA II WD 250 Gig 16meg cache, 1x Raptor 74Gig

Kthxbye!

ooh nice but i got 2 x 7800gtx's in SLI..
so mines bigger than yours nah ne nah ..lol
ps : is that water cooling ? mind me asking the make? model ? because my water cooling system was crap.
Nautilian
20 Oct 2005, 13:40
Ok lemme clear a few things up for you guys:

It is an SLI system however Cat is getting the New ASUS 7800GTX ULTRA's. So right now I have just been testing the rig on 1x 7800GTX until his cards arrive.

Knayda the liquid cooling system is a koolance external unit with 1 pull and 1 push pump, 300W heat dissipation. Model is Exos-2, Black (http://www.koolance.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=28_41&products_id=190) www.koolance.com (http://www.koolance.com).

I thought I would not say anything but I am just getting a bit #$%@#$%, so yes I did do the Mod. There are a few things that are still needed to be done.

What I can say from a technical point of view is that the system has the following:

350CFM in 270CFM out (Numbers rounded off)
Volume 18-55db depending on the mode the system is put into
The system averages around 25degrees idle and around 32-34 strain.

If anybody has any questions go right ahead and ask!

so in actuallity the water cooling system is called snautoilass.

Nice!

but --> "Red LED Vandal Proof switch" ?

Any bets on how long it takes to get vandalised at the next lan? :)

The Vandal Proofing is to protect it from me when I lose my temper getting spawnraped. :D

21 Oct 2005, 09:30
Tis a nice case but I would have gone for this one (http://www.thermaltake.com/xaserCase/taichi/vb5001sna/vb5001sna.htm)

Maybe its just coz im a fanboy:D
Cataphract
21 Oct 2005, 10:37
It is a Lian-Li and Nautilian imported it for me from GKW. (God Knows Where) :D

The prices are on the websites.

That ThermalTake looks very nice indeed. I have two Thermaltake cases and the quality of the Lian-Li, in terms of design, workmanship and material, puts them to absolute shame.

I see it further takes only 3 3.5" drives. The Lian-Li takes 6, of which I can liquid cool 4. :D

Ragnarok, go to the Koolance website. www.koolance.com (http://www.koolance.com) and take a look at the integrated systems.

Well i would like to see your GTX do 648 on core Cat!!!!
And your chip at 2.9 ghz!!!

so post some screenies of your rig overclocked and some benchies

Shit, what did it all cost in total?

Gold plated stuff nogal too...
Gamos
22 Oct 2005, 19:59
Very-very nice rig, but I am clearly not part of the pimp-my-box crowd. I just can not understand why you would overclock that rig. It is like buying a Ferarri Americana and then pimping it.

Very nice specs! I am sure it will run Quake 4 very handy with Picmip 1. :p

Hmmm.... how's about when it's a month old and you need a new one - you give the old one to me!?

That's Johnny Depp, from one of the best movies ever: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

If you haven't watched it I suggest you do.:D Brilliant.
I especially love the part where they're on raw ether at Bazooko's Circus!!:rofl:
