specs in sig for my main rig.

im a gamer\overclocker\modder and could care less about mindlessly benchmarking my pc at all(so boring). after its overclocked and rock solid i have fun on it(gaming is benchmarking at its best).im not into frying my expensive hardware to the ragged edge breaking points only to impress others then rma time? i overclok it nicely,prime it then lock it in and enjoy it for games,weird me i guess...






main rig pics







sunnon 40mm fan blasting the ramsink(under the rd600 block) on the baby nf200 northbridge second chip,dfi rd600 block cooling the main northbridge.




confirmed+++danger den rd600 block fits on 750\780 northbridge BUT u need to ramsink the little second nf200 northbridge with active fan air on it.



my baby


my custom stainless steel\plexiglass watercooling housing unit,serverd my well for over 4 years now :p some one duplicated it calling it the waterkeg,heh i knew i was on to something.
swiftech p655 big pump,all 1\2 tygon r360 tubing,triple 120mm rad,danger den rd600 block on evga 750i northbridge,danger den cpu block.

--a true gaming setup----9900gtx so0n!
8800gtx going to 22in mitishibishi diamdtron @2048x1536\60hz res pushing bf2\quake4 at 60 SOLID fps.my pc is setup to run 2 seperate sound setups depending on mood.its AMAZING killer sound putting it mildly.i actually still prefer headphone mode into my senhieser hd-570,s getting fed 100watt x2 of pure clean power threw my xfi card on ultra-hi settings in games.the onkyo amp and technics speakers are when i rock out some music when im bored or when ppl come over.the klipsch ultras are no slouch of a sound system either running a internal B.A.S.H 500 watt amp, 5.1 speakers,dual 8in subs.in my opionion any true gamer knows headphones sound thee best period if set up right with lots of clean power being decoded right.my desk is brutally big and strong and it can hold (2) 22in crt moniters no problem.being a die hard gamer i never got into the "saves desk space lcd moniter mindest" i always laff when ppl say that,lol.i tell those guys buy a friggin real desk then,guess desks today are made of tissue paper and only can hold the weight of lcds today??.mitishibishi diamdtron or sony trintron tube moniters to me run games better then any lcd could ever.running amazing res at 2048x1536 running lightning fast with no lcd laggy delay feeling.everything is razor sharp and theres no grainy\fuzzy lcd look.if they impressed me threw the years i would have had a few by now easily. O.L.E.D.(organic light emitting diode) will be my next gaming moniter upgrade when there avaible in q3-q4 this year.cant wait for a nice 22in oled..

if u have MONSTER gpu firepower(sli or monster single card) and want to really unleash it?then grab a true hi res\quality gaming moniter for pennies.go here,click moniters\21- 22in crt option(top left of page).there refurbed like new.

my current 8800gtx is going in here when the TRUE 9900gtx MONSTER comes out for my main rig,cant wait.9800gtx was such a stall move by nvidia,pointless to buy it and replace my 8800gtx with it.

[Dark_w]

nice I like it. good job railmeat!

thanks dark im goin with 2 dvd SATA burners soon,get rid of that goofy ide cable for my drives now.the plextor drive will not die!!!?and not sure abou the 750i with sata burner issues?

[conzymaher]

looks erm messy.......

[RADCOM]

Confirmed CRT man I see I have one of the older 21" Mitsubishi Dimondtron; it's outside my door until I can muster up the strength to carry it downstiars lol. I also have a 22" Lacie blue, I'm sure those old CRT's will need a good service to render the colours as they were 5-7 years ago. Plenty of power there......Nice

[philbrown23]

wow thats crazy that someone stole your "waterkeg" idea and is making craploads off it, I saw one on ebay about 2 months ago and the dude sold it for 386 for the winning bid! What camera are you using/ how many megapixels? I ask cuz the pics are just blurry, but overall the rig is pretty sick!

[IanY]

Baloney! That doesn't remotely look like Seth's Water Keg! The internet is an open domain, and you were not the first guy to come up with that idea, because I have seen that more than four years ago. Seth had the presence of mind to bring it to market. He worked very hard on it. He stole nothing !!

"wow thats crazy that someone stole your "waterkeg" idea and is making craploads off it,"


ya i knew someone would and they did,i built mine years ago and its still runs amazing.....i made it because i wanted room in my case without all the water equip crowding it,i used to laff at setups with the rad monuted in a hot case,never got that theory..hot air sucking threw a rad to cool components...w\e.

.... you mean rads sucking cold air in from outside into the case... yeah terrible setup.

You mean you'd rather have all those heat-generating parts like the GPU and CPU being cooled by ~40c case air? Far better to cool the components that need cooling and find other ways to exhaust hot case air than heat your expensive bits with RAM/ mobo/ HDD/ PSU heat.

yes.. but you can do that within the confines of your case.

Now I'm lost.

OP, nice rig, and good idea
