He did all the hard work

Took about 6 hours to put all the parts in do cable managment and install windows. 

 

Sofar the only thing i can compair game wise is Archeage. My old system only running a single 580 was doing mid 30's during the game.  The new build does just over 100FPS with dipps in the mid 90's wehn in a 50 man raid. Thats with fully maxed setting on both cards.

You took 4 hours to install windows? :teehee:

 

Nice PC, hope you have a lot of fun with it!

 

 

Took a while to do the carbon fiber vinyl wrap on the MB tray and 5.25" cage.  First time doing vinyl :doh:    Im also very anal on cable managment, i go through way to many zip ties.  I always get like 3-4 wires ran then am like crap i dont like how the first one is ran and will redo like 2 out of the 4 that are done.    I'm still trying to figure out a way to cover the wires coming out of the PSU,  they are driving me carzy cause i cant get them in any order before they exit behind the MB tray.    Still debating replacing the CPU cooler fans with black ones and wrapping the top of the cooler.

  • 3 weeks later...

I did a quick just playing around with it overclock with evga percision and was able to do +200 on the core and ram. 

 

 

I have since added a 6TB Western Digital Red drive to the computer and now have all 212 steam games installed :thumbsup: that only took 1TB to do.    Im now in the middle of ripping all my cd/dvd games to iso's to the drive and installing all those.  I replaced the tan fans on the D-14 with new SilenX EFX-12-15 120mm Effixio Quiet Case fans.   And made a fiberglass box that covers the PSU to hide the wire mess in the front of it.   Ill update pictures tonight after i get back from the range.

Probably could have done a little extra to the PSU cover, put it together with paint in about 12 hours.  Has a 140mm fan that puls air in from the bottom of the case that blows straight up into the video card.
