$900? You have equity ownership in Newegg or something? :)
$355 x 3 (for the cheap plain vanilla cards) + $150 x 1 (for a 9800GT) + $450 (for EVGA Classified) + $550 (Dominator GT) = $2,215
We haven't covered the case, HDDs, opticals or PSU yet. And that's with Intel stock aircooling. With all your fetish with sleeving and BP fittings and.. and... ;)
Now, AtlasFolder with 19 GTX 295s... 19 x $500 = never mind :D
lol i was assuming a roughball figure of 900+.
And yeah me and fittings.. ugh.. i dont even know exactly what fittings i have left over in my box as i always buy more fittings.
Parts and me gets bad sometimes, im asking my friends if i gave them X, and there like Yeah, a while back ago dude...
LOL i cant even keep track of all my parts sometimes...
Grab'd another 200 dollars in fittings and stuff for ryoko my new bench station coming online.
Dude, u dont know how much of a PITA it was debuging not having extra i7 parts.
I think i definitely need another system incase one goes down to debug. :\
But then again, last year i totaled 6 yorkfields which i could always swap parts on, this year, i got rid of almost all my yorkfields, and the only 2 system i have running at arms reach, arent cross compatiable.
What is it with you and all those Japanese names and Japanese fantasy? You're Korean, they are supposed to be your natural enemy! Hope Korea's baseball team kicks some Japanese butt, especially after they beat America :)
I work for them and positively hate them and all that has to do with their culture :D I never liked Japanese cars to begin with... soon I won't be buying Japanese-named electronics as well lol
Time to learn how to sleeve... I want to build one bada$$ rig... one maximum rig... Gainestown Nehalem, 64 GB ram, 16 SSDs, 8 gpu cores... more power than the space shuttle... and sleeve and bling it in the Grinchville way.... one day ;)
You say "Queen rig" ?? I want a King Kong / Godzilla rig! lol :)
Actually the space shuttle's computers are ancient and very slow. There's a reason they haul laptops up nowdays.

Actually, have you seen the 285 block? Its gorgeous and its definitely solid copper. The way it ought to be.
yeah, you kinda lucked out there with the blocks. looks pretty grim in that other thread with alu/cu block. i am glad they made a full cu block.
can't wait to see you slap those babies on.
so is it still 2x 285 and a 260 or did you change the configuration?
i read thru most of the thread but not all
are you still planning on adding 2 more cards?
oh and no consideration for the ek's
bot@xs,
It was three 285s and two 260s, and now its four 285s and the remaining 260 will not be upgraded. Right now, I don't plan on more video cards beyond four, and may even downgrade to three.
No, I haven't ordered the EVGA blocks yet, but will do so right away. I have been waiting for two weeks now.
I thought long and hard about the EK blocks, but I don't the EVGAs appeal to me more. Peer pressure here from unnamed friends also sways me away from EK. The standoff matter is resolved, but it was a huge point of contention. I also have not been enamoured by nickel plating and you won't find me all hyped up by nickel plating. Appearances are not at the top of my list of priorities.
Wow. I don't know what happenned here to my thread.
Anyway, MitchellY (an XS member) is scheduled for Vesicoureteral Reflux Reimplantation surgery at 3 pm EST today. Its a major major surgery with a considerable recovery period.
Regarding my machine, I have plumbed itthis weekend and it looks great. However,last night I started filling the loop and there's a pretty bad leak. So, I unpluged, drained and abort mission till later. Thankfully it wasjust distilled water so there's no sticky mess. The one week of sitting idle will ensure that everything is completely dry.
Till later.
Ian
hmm memory upgrade happened... or should i say memory loss...
anyway ian good luck and god bless with mitchell's operation.
your machine can wait... go be with your son more...
I was thinking more along these lines:Quote:

Anyway, I'm working on my machine and there are updated pics. The loop hasn't been filled yet because of a small irritating setback with a leaking block that needed to be fixed with silicon adhesive.
Will add the little ones to our prayers tonight.
You I don't worry about. :p:
