Triple Crossfire revisited in NZXT Tempest

[vinister]

Well my project has been a long time coming.

Here was my old case, I think it was an NZXT Hush at one point.



Random decent photo:



This is my new build, new case. NZXT Tempest this time. Great case! I took it apart, powdercoated it a custom metallic gunmetal, and built it up with both dual rads fitting inside. This time I used a proper resevoir and some better fittings. All the fans are the Ge-lid temperature controlled ones so they spin up and down according to water temp.






You can see inside the triple-vga support beam I added to the case. It goes from the floor to the upper radiator, and has small notches cut into it to support each of the 3 VGA cards, otherwise they droop because of the weight of the blocks. The support also serves to hide much of the wiring.




The board is an MSI GD-70
The proc is an X3 720 @ 4Ghz
The VGA's are HD3870's

Its an aging setup but it still hauls some ass! I am at 22K 3DM06, which is still quite respectable in today's graphics market.


Thanks, just thought I'd post this up since I've finally stopped working on it any further. for now.
