Murdermod Zeus style

[Zeus]

Looking good, I'm sure you will make the best/right choice for you build Zeus, my opinion I think the Full Cover Aceatl(black one) would look good.

Ninja

Thanks.

Yeah, the copper acetal is the one i'm thinking of but now i have my OCZ platinum with silver heatspreaders there's a tad more chrome now...

I've been real busy Zeus, (sleeving is a b*** ^^)

By God... Your rig looks wicked!
It's everything I anticipated and more! Job well done sir.

The upgrade to an 4870 is an obvious choice. I'd go for the EK-acetal.
The copper look will blend in nicely with your motherboard cooling indeed.

Nice touch with the switch! You've convinced me to remove the frontpanel aswell.
There are far better uses for it i've been thinking of..

Your daughter is adorible. Such a sweet and innocent face

(nitpicking: Wish there would be a way to remove the Zalman logo from the fancontroller..)

Many thanks my friend. The sleeving isn't the nicest of jobs indeed but once you're finished the looks are really rewarding.

So, that makes another vote for the acetal...

If you need help with your build just give me a shout ok?

The Zalman logo kinda stinks but it looks like i have to deal with it, just like the alphacool logo.

Zeus get the Nickle plated with the Acetal top! I love how mine looks. Can't see the water but it looks slick

Thanks Jesse, just when i started making up my mind, haha.

I guess it will be the one that will take my fancy at the day of clicking the order button, so it will be a surprise for me too.

I've been messing with the board and cpu, tying to get a decent overclock out of it and was able to run 3D mark 06 at 3.9GHz (18K marks) but a day after that run i tried again and it was barely stable in windows.

I flashed numbers of bios' but ended up with the very first one.

I picked the new ram up today, OCZ Platinum PC 8500 2x1GB and after some playing around i got 'm stable, running memtest 3.7 for half an hour without errors.

The new videocard is on it's way so i still have some work ahead.

edit: Just ordered the block after asking the wifes opinion on which would look better. (surprise! )

[Zeus]

Oh noes!!



Now i have two.

Let's hope the videocard and block will follow soon.

Those looks like two suitcases and your going on vacation.... Those things look big.

Does that mean your going to build another computer now Can't wait to see your new GPU block for your new videocard

[Zeus]

Oh noes! You gave a spare PSU for me! THanks man


haha, joking :P

You give me the money, i'll give you the PSU.

lookin' very nice.

Thanks.

Vacation is gonna have to wait, no funds left.

I had to rma my psu but it took so long i douldn't wait and bought a new one.

Have to sell this one off now.

The videocard and block will be here today or monday i think.

edit: Videocard is here, the block was here as well but nobody was home. Monday it will be. Got 17K 3d mark 06 stock with the new card.

[Zeus]

More bad news.

Today a very handsome block came in...





Not bad eh?

But now the problem:



I have a HD4870, not a HD4850, i ordered the right one but got the wrong one.

More delays.

The black sata cables still aren't here, the owner of the shop i ordered them at has been sick all week.

Oh well...

The videocard seems nice though but the stock cooler is extremely noisy with the fan over ~35%.
