    Project Yasui (Cheap)

    This is a carry over from the old BlingBOT build: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=217263

    That system got dismantled when the economy turned and I though I was getting laid off. After surviving a couple of rounds of cutbacks, I decided to liquidate ALL of my 775 gear and splurge for i7 before I do get the axe so I bring you Project 安い (Yasui) which will consist of just the basics for i7.

    I figure after downgrading from a Quad x3330 to a Dual x6800 down to a lowly Celeron on the 775 platform in an effort to save money and pay off debt, I deserve to splurge just a little. Luckily, after cleaning house and selling off nearly everything that wasn't bolted down, my out of pocket was minimal for the switch to i7. Since I have a company laptop (whew, not laid off yet!) I could afford to dismantle my main rig and sell it off to get the upgrade funds.

    Intel DX58SO
    i7 920
    OCZ DDR3-1600/XMP 1800 Ram
    Swiftech Apogee GT waterblock (XSPC Delta V3 waiting as well)
    BIX3 Radiator w/ 6x Yate Loon high speed on a controller
    MCP655
    MCRes
    Kill Coil
    7/16" Masterkleer
    Work Clamps
    1/2" BP Fatboy Fittings

    The initial shots:



    I need to decide on where to mount my components yet. Previously this station held a rad on the side using the two fan mount L brackets at the bottom, but it was only a MCR220. I fear the BIX3 is too heavy for that simple of a mount. I may end up just making "feet" for the BIX3 and letting it freestand off to the side.

    System is basically assembled with the retail cooler for now. Having issues getting an OS on it, but I got a new optical drive on the way so that should help.

    Progress is moving VERY slowly.

    So far work is holding and keeping me busy, but I got a new toy to play with that kind of busts the rig's name....

    CHEAP != W3580

    Your system is a electrical oxymoron.

    Nadeshiko: i7 990 12GB DDR3 eVGA Classified *In Testing... Jealous? *
    Miyuki: W3580 6GB DDR3 P6T-Dlx
    Lind: Dual Gainestown 3.07
    Sammy: Dual Yonah Sossoman cheerleader. *Sammy-> Lind.*

    [12:37] skinnee: quit helping me procrastinate block reviews, you asshat. :p
    [12:38] Naekuh: i love watching u get the firing squad on XS
    Its my fault.. and no im not sorry about it either.

    Love the Vcore on that chip. Probably doesn't turn your computer into a space heater.

    Meh, I'm prepared for it. I'll just shut it down and toss it into the corner to gather dust until 1366 becomes gillbot priced. ;-)
