    <<<Freshly Squeezed>>> Core i7 + Pinnacle 24 Build Log

    Hey XS!

    Ever since my Genome project (which unfortunately never got completed) ive had a worklog bug eating away at my soul. Having moved to the UK for studies (MSc in Electronic Publishing) i had a quick WC build with parts that were taken from my genome project and put in a LiLi 2010B (nothing worth showing pics) with a mediocre dual loop setup inside to get me through the first wave of study sessions and web programming.

    Now after Christmas, New Years, Birthdays + Namedays, i have saved up some cash (which is all gone now) to start a build!

    so without further adieu i present to you the hardware.

    Hardware:
    MM Pinnacle 24
    Asus P6T Deluxe
    3Gb Corsair Dominators DDR3 Triple Channel @ 1600
    Intel Core i7 920
    4 HDDs ( Raptor 300Gb, Raptor 36Gb, WD 250gb, WD 1GB)
    Thermaltake 1200W PSU
    EVGA 280GTX
    Generic DVDRW
    Zalman ZMMFC1 Plus Fan Controller

    Watercooling:
    GTZ CPU Block + Backplate
    EK FC 280GTX Block
    (trying to find a set of bei's P6T blocks for mosfet and NB/SB in europe cause shipping from sidewinders is almost like 50% of the price)
    Swiftech MicroRes 2
    Feser Quad
    Feser Triple
    Xigmatek Fans
    DDC with XSPC top
    D5 with EK V2 top

    My Goal is to get a clean looking build, with the shortest loop possible, low noise and great cooling.

    Pictures should start floating in around monday when the majority of my parts arrive... wish i knew how long my case will take to get here

    Ill let you in on a secret though... the color scheme is going to be a little... "Fresh" :P

    - UPDATE 13th Feb 2009 -
    So finally had some time to take some pictures of what has arrived so far... I just want to take the time to apologize for some missing pictures. My Ram, Motherboard and CPU have not been taken out of their boxes, because i dont want them getting dusty, and i cant repackage ANYTHING to save my life. So im going to wait for the other hardware to arrive so i can build/take pictures for you guys

    Still waiting on:
    Radiators (Quad + Triple Feser)
    Tubing XSPC (im have ordered both 1/2 and 3/8 to see which one i like more).
    Mountain Mods Pinnacle 24
    Bei Feis P6T Blocks
    and some assortment of fittings...
