My Complete Build +pics

[Shifty52]

Well after 4 days of assembling and dismantling, and re-assembaling. It is complete. I am extreamly happy with the build and the componants. I ran some tests and it seems to be able to stay between 28-35 degrees C between idle and load. I ran 3dmark03 and it gave me 24340 points when I ran it. So without further ado, here's the pics.

Front of the case.

No Flash, side shot

All of the cables are routed behine the 3.5 bays, all except the round IDE cable, that one is off to the side as much as I can get it.

I just like the fan.


Thanks to everyone for their help in choosing good parts and for the help with the actual build.[/img]

Very, very nice. I especially like how neatly you did the cables. My case is a mess with cables going in every direction.

It looks like a LanParty board. DFI rocks! I like the heatsink, as well.

Niiiiice. How do you like that PSU? I was thinking about getting an FSP FX700 for my upcoming build. Are you overclocking that Opty?

 

[Shifty52]

The PSU can best be described as a Squid on Crack. Plenty of cable length which is both PRO and CON at the same time. Yeah you won't have to worry about reaching everything, but then again you need to have space to put the rest of it. The PS has connectors for everything in my rig and even some things I don't have for upgrades later. Runs almost silently and the air comin out the back of it isn't all that hot..

As for the overclock, I will be getting into that once the computer breaks in within the few weeks.

You don't get a DFI board, an Opteron 170, and DDR500 RAM if you don't plan to overclock. It's just not done. Of course he is.

 

[The_Rev]

Riiiiight.

 

[yourmothersanastronaut]

I'm thinking along roughly the same lines for my build, except in a Lian-Li case. How do you like the case you picked out?

 

[michaelahess]

Look at the Stacker 830, just built a pc in this, best case in the world, hands down. Even better than Silverstone.

 

[vimka]

Nice system specs, good looking build, what more could you ask for? Well done.

 

[hashv2f16]

man that is looking NICE... I have the exact same cooler and i'm lovin it, although the rest of the system is looking substantially more expensive than mine.
