DrNip's Going Back To The Case
 
9 Attachment(s)
Ok guys, here is what I have been up to lately. I got sick and tired of my benching hardware being tied up in my everyday web cruiser. So I set out on a mission to build another PC about a month ago. What turned into just needing a few parts here and there turned into the usual over the top overclockaholic build. It has been close to 2 years since I built a PC in a case. I have a little one on the way in about 8 weeks and an open case PC just didn't settle too well with me and a little one running around the house prolly within a year. I just kept seeing little fingers poking here and there and getting hurt. Now that my benhing hardware is free I plan on getting back in the groove of things. Enough chit-chat and here is what is packed within this.

Case - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811112239
RAM - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227501

As well as the whole setup on individually sleeved power cables.

Parts already on hand:
Core i7 960
GTX 295
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

Plans are in the making of either going with the next gen Fermi or 5890.

Sorry about the crappy photos as it is late here and lighting isn't right. I will try to snap some more professional pics soon.

That's my old Lian Li case I was originally going to use but just couldn't stand things about it. The main gripe I had about it was the silver color inside. Got this Lancool by Lian Li yesterday for 2 1/2 times cheaper and it is about 2 1/2 times better than the Lian Li! That's why the week long delay of getting this thread posted, waiting on the new case to show up.

This weekend I am setting up my bench station and pot will be hooked up to it 24/7. Finally going to bench all these 8 series cards I have laying around. Who knows maybe I will finally get to some of those 7 ghz + chips benched too I have! ROFL. Pics of this to come soon.

Sweet looking build nip. Just clean as a whistle. Plenty of HP to boot too :thumbsup:

Still need to get some new RAM for it too but I can still a stick here and there when needed for now. Damn RAM went up in price for some reason. Set of Cas 8 DDR3 1600 non Elipda Corsair is the same price I paid for these Mushkins!

I think dram prices have shot up in the open market.
