    Cool evil's i7 Workrig

    So you guessed it, heres my i7. Its going to be a quick build as i need it up by next week

    Specs

    CPU: i7 920 (hopefully @ 4+)
    MOBO: Asus P6T Deluxe
    RAM: G.Skill 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
    VIDCARD: Asus 4870 1GB
    PSU: Corsair HX1000W Psu
    HDD: 4x WD Caviar Black 1TB
    1x WD VelociRaptor 300GB
    ROM: Samsung 22x DVD
    CASE: MountainMods Pinnacle 18

    Cooling:

    EK Supreme
    Swiftech 4870 block
    Swiftech MCR320, MCR220 w/ Yate Loon D12SH-12
    DDC 3.2 w/ XSPC top
    1/2 ID x 3/4 OD Tygon R3603
    1/2" BP fittings

    Ill get as many pics as possible, but ill be building at work so might not be as many as i would like but for sure ill get the final shots.

    most everything has came in today, all but my sidewinder order.
    the pinnacle is 80% done, much lighter then i expected but very
    good quality, there were some parts that were obviously grinded
    out to make the construction correct b/c of the powder coating
    and alot of sharpie touch ups but over all very nice. One thing that
    i did noticed was that the 5.25" drive is very very tight, i had the
    hardest time getting my rom on that thing, might be the powder
    coating but its tight.

    this is all for today but for sure ill get more pics and log while i go next week

    No no no, you are NOT allowed to start another build when you haven't completely finished your previous projects .

    It looks like you are rushing this one. Work? Lovely parts and I'm looking forward to the first Pinnacle build on XS.

    Evil, no doubt you'll set the bar very high with this, one of the 1st Pinnacle builds.

    Nice I'm curious to see this myself actually. I want a pinnacle24 but damn the cubes look so good to I can't decide! heheh That i920 should go over 4G rather easily from what i'm told. I have mine on the way as i'm not as lucky to be in the midst of things like some of you guys(jealous)lol. Guess I can be thankful I got my board already though eh? What finish did you get Evil?
