This is ultimately going to end up as an HTPC build, with a bit of gaming capability (Guild Wars really isn't that taxing).
I'll give you 1000 XP for going AMD. I too wouldn't mind to try it out after a few i7 systems myself.
At first I thought this build log was going to be a torture device for poor teddy bears but I'm glad to see it's turned into something not so devious. For some reason, I'm really digging the color scheme on that motherboard. :up:
Good luck with the build. :)

Been tempted by that board, but still thinking i7 to be honest. Still undecided...
Looks like it's going to be a good build!

Because your judging a i7 920 D0 vs. a phenom 955... Thats like you going back from a gatling gun to a rifle. . :rofl:
Bex i have a few pals that went from i7 to amd for kicks like shazza did...Quote:

Remember shazza has 3 i7's so she must be bored of intel.
AMD haters clearly were not at the XS party at CES.
i am no fan of intel or go crazy about it but i am glad there people doing phenom II watercooling builds :D
+ the fact that i liked it when amd guy said " real men use real cores"
shazza are going to have 2 4890s?
Should have some updates in the next day or so. Ran into a little problem with my radiators - was planning to use Swiftech MCR220s, but the barb spacing is wrong (argghhh, just assumed the reference to Black Ice rads on the DD site referred to fan spacing - guess that's my Mountain Mods training). Sorting that out, but also have some sleeving to do.
And, as far as Intel vs. AMD - I'm just interested in checking out the differences - I'm betting I will hardly be able to tell a difference with what I do. And, I want to see what the heat differences are, since this is for the HTPC.
@Cosmos - no 4890s, using my 4870x2 - just one for now, cause I really didn't see much advantage when I ran two.
Awesome!
Looking forward to the clock results already :)
Shazza... were going though withdrawl...
wheres our fix? :rofl:
Slow going here ... I'm doing a lot of "Visualizing;" Maybe I bit off more than I can chew with this acrylic case :rofl:
Radiator Fans linked - looks simple, but took quite a long time. Removing the LED wires from each corner is an absolute pain as they are glued/shellacked into the grooves.

New radiators arrived from PPCs (shipped within an hour of ordering, I might add); Magicool Extreme 240s - pics below show comparison to Swiftech MCR220:

The blue on the Magicool is just the plastic covering on the metal. As you can see, the Magicool is a bit shorter, and a tad thicker than the Swiftech.

It's like rear car bumpers. All those little 3 door, 1.5L cars have smilie faces.
The worse offender
Oh and nice amd build shazza. =]

2) my PSU is de-pinned and ready to sleeve, but I'm trying to figure out how best to end the sleeving at the entrance to the PSU itself - don't want to end up with a big glob of heatshrink ...
3) working on figuring out the best tube routing - I'd like to avoid using metal fittings like 45s and 90s if possible.
Hey Shazza, I've been following your work for a while and it's a real inspiration!
This build is looking very promising!
Keep up the good work :)
shazza primochill typhoon res/pump it.
http://www.primochill.com/images/T3_Blue.jpg
you can mount this in the front bay, and route the tubing behind though the rear 120mm.
I love the idea of the typhoon III... Cant wait for it to come out!
+1 with typhoon III
you can also do a ek top + 655 with a dlink to the bay res if you cant wait for the typhoon III
