Project: 2 - "The Credit Crunch"

Hey Guys,

Aint been in the "area" for a whirl since my last build i kinda went to the Mac Side of things... and really dont regret it what so ever! but i thought its time to come back and create a new Super Computer... Litterally!

CPU: Intel i7 975 Extreme Edition
Memory: 12gb (6x 2gb) Corsair Dominator GT 1866mhz
Mobo: Asus P6T7 WS SuperComputer Motherboard
Graphics.... shant go there currently only GTX280 needs upgrading seriously!
Case: Corsair's Case
PSU: Enermax 1250watt Modular!
Optical Drive: LG BluRay SuperMulti Reader / Writer
Sound Card: Asus Xonar HDMI 1.3


Cooling: im currently looking at a Phase change solution any one got any ideas?

Graphics: Ideas needed as well worth getting 3x GTX295's? Worth Waiting? or get the ATI 5970's and put them in Quad Crossfire?

Any Advice would be cool!

Richard

I would go ATI myself, let me know how u get on with that motherboard, coz that's what i'm planning to get, I can't decide between that and the ROG x58

Phase change, I would probably go with Asetek Vapochill, not sure what their product line up is these days, but I used to run a Vapochill LS and a Vapochill XE both very good product with very good support, and support forum

ordered a Custom Made Phase system, a friend recomended the guy for me! got it for ?300 including Shipping which i thought was quite considerable!

:D

Looking forward to this richard....we need pics of course when you get your gear...and nice gear from the look of your list. :)

If your gonna overclock id think of just the 6GB of memory

Also Dont bother with 2x5970s they dont appear to yeild much (if any) return extra over CF5870 or as a max 3x5870s

Nice rig though - and yes, pics are a must :D

PC is Built - Minus the Phase Cooling and Graphics Cards, so only got a shitty old EVGA GTX280 at the moment... :(

Brought a LG LED Monitor for my Display.... and its SICK! really good colours! 2ms Responce Time, Highly Recomended!

Updates to come + Pictures! :D

Pictures as Prommised!

Very nice....plenty of ram and storage i see.

has any one got any recomendations for Graphics Cards or should i wait for the new Nvidia ones?

also i need suggestions for SSD's or Fast Hard Disks removing my SAS Drives as they are only running @ 3gb/s which isnt very good and im getting the new EVGA x4 SLI Board whichi s beter but need a better SSD

5870 ftw.
