I think white would look great! I didn't even think of that but I can picture it would look really cool. I was thinking the 7970 but realistically the 7950.

I like this!

Man that thing is sexy, yet I can't logically justify buying it.

Does your motherboard support CF/SLI of them?

Find the logic! They is baus coolers and baus sounds when fans cranked up

and baus mods if you got modo skills.

Yes, triple sli/cf. I have no mod skills lol and if I go with anything close to that I won't be cfing it for at least 6 months. I'm not an extreme gamer, I only have time to play 2-3 hours a day.. If that.

nice ^_^

to be honest you might be better off saving your money for a 690/7990 with a system like that so when you do play you 3-way in game like a baus! :3

No modding skills?

Asus 6950 2Gb DCIIH20's 😛

I'm jealous moto! lol. Do you have a thread on how you set those things up with w/c?

I'm old to computers but new to mods, lights, cases, really anything. Actually I stepped out of the computer scene for the last 4 years until just a few months ago. I had the Q6600 when it first came out, and was going for $1000! That was my last rig, and I had a crap ass sony vaio I bought from my girlfriends dad for about the last 3 years (sold my rig cuz i was poor lol).

So on that note, I am just getting my feet wet here, trying to get my basics down then pretty soon I am going to start getting in to sleeving my wires, internal lighting, matching fans with case/lights/color scheme.. etc. It's hard to prioritize, and my initial budget was ~$700-800 but when I started reading up about everything... lets just say I have alreday put ~$1400 in to my current set up as it is now. That's with out a graphics card mind you.

You have a leak, check your fittings 😛
Anything we can do to help, just shout up in the W/c section
**Edit, you will struggle to find a mobo that supports three of these in tri-fire, normal crossfire takes half the mobo up 😛

I doubt I will get tri-fire anything, any time soon. How much did those cards cost you?

 

[Motopsychojdn]

About £240 each for the cards, not including the W/c blocks and ramsinks
**£449.89 for the pair from Dabs
I plan on keeping them a while though 😛

[robertris2]

I will need to convert that to USD. You definitely have some nice mod skills, I read your build log.. etc. How long have you been doing this

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Will do!

 

[tjosborne]

ok here is my completed setup. my pc isnt right on the edge now, so its not gonna get knocked off and i have plenty of room for my monitors.

now just gotta wait a week to order my mountain mods case.

 

[tjosborne]

if it was my own room i would. its mine and my wifes, and our two year old goes in there all the time and at night the dog comes in. until we move its safest up there.

 

[tecmo34]

get the computer OFF the desk.!!

What is wrong with it being on the desk???

I have mine sitting on my desk (though not side ways or so close to my monitors). It gets the best air flow, keeps it off the carpet, and a little hard for the little ones to mess with. This is a older pic (not longer active computer) but you can get a general idea. To the right is my monitor and keyboard (it is a corner desk)...

 

[Motopsychojdn]

I asked mine to get off the desk and it growled at me.....

That picture confuses me, is your computer up side down?

 

[robertris2]

:lol:

It is the Raven RV02-B.

Interesting.. So your i/o panel is at the top of the case? Show me a picture!

 

[jrwizbang]

Yeah there's nothing wrong with it being on the desk as long as you don't throw any parties in there. I keep mine on my desk, however there is a bit more room. I will post pics once I get it put together. Which for some reason is getting postponed until I get the parts.... 😛
