Malik, does the tygon tubing on your builds get cloudy after some weeks?
That last pic quoted by tsawana is just incredible. You achieve some preety beautifull color combinations!
This guy is crazy( i mean Malik ). But thanks for the inspiration for my project.
Regarding projects, great job, very clean, our original colors, and a lot of interesting photos.

I'd say go ATI.
I'd vote for stay with current setup, but that wouldn't be Xtreme
Imho it's worth upgrading when bigger performance gains are seen. So it's (4.), if that meant next gen of fermi, which i doubt to see sooner then another year to wait, or dual 5970. (2. less power usage) & (3. psysix support) won't be that much of performance gain from current setup to justify purchase(including new fc waterblocks)/upgrade .. and just for dx11 support it's not worth it imho ..
for now ATI, in the future NV, but not fermi![]()

i'd go for 5870 Xfire... less power consumption but still engouh power compared to the little gain of two 480 in sli...
and cheaper... if that matters![]()

not an NV fanboy by any stretch of the imagination, but GTX480 SLI wins... as long as you can handle the cost and power consumption of the cards. A single 480 isn't terribly impressive but they scale remarkably well in SLI. Better than crossfire by quite a bit.
When you`ll show as pics of triple SLI inside your case?? Lot of new experience inside next project?

I thought 850`s is too "weak" for triple SLIYou`re planning to sell it or it (850) stays with this config? I need something more powerful for my new rig

It`s interesting PSU, there is only one but, it`s not modularI like clean cases.

Hi, Malik!! I have a question, how to contact Barus? I'm really interested in QPI Ram. You're my inspiration. Thanks.
Go for an ati 5870 crossfire or wait a little bit for 5870 2gb and do a 5870 4gb crossfire :p
I dont like that psu really![]()
