XS CES Party 2011

It's all good.

Now I'd love to see your talents mixed in with a SR2 rig with a couple X5680's, 4-580 cards, 2-1200W PSU's, all watercooled.
No acrylic of course!

I believe I wet, puked, then myself.

That thing is gorgeous.

Took three-four days working over-night. At the end we tested it with three 3d projectors in 3d surround playing Just Cause 2 on the shop wall. I guess Microsoft loved the idea they ordered several.

XS Staff - you guys should just add filters so you do not have to edit posts to clean stuff up

Maybe if you guys behave Cory will come post in this thread

Neat... but how long until a DMCA takedown request is made?

DB, part of the problem is that xtreme rigs are prototypes.
Take a look at anyones prototypes and you will see aesthetics taking a back seat to function.
Sure you can try to make a prototype look a little bit tidier for presentation (and i agree that shamino has some of the messiest rigs in the world) but funcitonality so that it doesnt fail is number one

I wonder if something like what V2-V3 would be functional? gives room to stash PSU and such underneath. very nice looking bench. also thinking about a flexible stand to hold your thermometers and multi-meters.

Would powder-coated or anodized finishes work well with LN2? acrylic? also looking into making a powerhub so you guys can switch on the PSU without having to jump it

[T_M]

one of the biggest contributors to the mess is the PSU cables.
For a 4-way rig, you have eight cables minimum going to the cards, and in Shamino's case 16. He doesnt bother having voltage read point terminals, just bare wires hanging out everywhere. Others use a female molex with the wires to the read points and the molex glued on to the card.
His card cleanliness (or lack there of :P) is not something common to all benchers.
My rigs look quite neat by comparison and i use a home made benching stand with PSU/HDD and cabling underneath

I think powercoating and anodizing would work well. Paint obviously would shrink and crack...

Motherboards have buttons nowadays, even my board from long long ago has power/reset buttons Unless you are running two PSU's, that is...but a simple little wire through the 24 pin is all thats needed to jump it anyway...

[T_M]

The jumper wire is precisely what people want removed (a simple switch on PSU's to manually force power on) and 100% modular design to that unnecessary cabling is not present

im hoping it falls under the fair use rights. i have no company logos or promotions. just an event overview. i also send them a copy for approval =]

Nice Rubicon, let me know if you want to him some trails.

Seems like you guys had fun.

Incredible horrible music, but apart from that, looks like a good time.
