In the begining...
Intel C2D E6300
Asus P5W DH Deluxe
XFX 8800GTX
Coolermaster iGreen 600W
2x 200GB SATA HDD
1x 160GB SATA HDD
PQI Turbo PC4200 2GB DDR2 533mhz 3-3-3-8
Antec P180
then...
Gigabyte pump from 3D Galaxy kit
Alphacool NexXxoS XP
Black Ice Xtreme 120mm
Clearflex 1/2" ID Tubing
Swiftech MCRES res
added EK FC8800GTX to the loop and another radiator from the Gigabyte 3D Galaxy kit. back in the noob days, mixing aluminum with copper
then moved to a BIX2, water colour turned from blue to purple from not cleaning out the gunk left over by previous owner, again, noob days
also upgraded to a Laing DDC with Petra's top and a Cathar Storm G4
my sexy Alphacool block
then lapped my CPU
then flushed out the gunk inside the radiator and changed to Swiftech 7/16" tubing
Redline water wetter looks yucky, and tubing got dented from overuse of coolsleeves in unnecessary places, also changed to a Swiftech Storm
painted the Storms mounting plate and changed to a Intel Bad Axe 2, ditched the Swiftech stuff and bought some el-cheapo tubing from Bunnings
dogey custom bracket to support the G80
heaps of changes have happened and now:
-upgraded to an E6600
-downgraded to a 8800GTS 320MB
-swapped the 3x HDDs to a single 500GB one
-upgraded to a Corsair HX620W PSU
-upgraded to 2x 1GB Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500
-got my hands of 1/2" ID Tygon Tubing
-upgraded to a Swiftech MCR220
-Laing DDC died so I bought a Swiftech MCP350
-changed to a Swiftech Apogee
-changed out the Swiftech MCRES to a brand new one, old one had dirty gunk in it
-added an EK Nickel plated chipset waterblock and sold the EK FC8800GTX
-put a HR05 of the SB
-added an OCZ XTC RAM cooler
then redid cabling and loop order, didn't like having my pump running sideways
I have no idea why the paintwork is cracked like that, I will fix it sometime, also the white stuff is masking tape, my attempt to block out noise and dust, didn't have any duct tape lying around at the time
I will be changing the motherboard out to an Asus P5N32-e SLI or Asus P5K Deluxe in the next few weeks so yeah.. stay tuned
This all happened since mid January 2007
