Iggy Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 (edited) So these days I'm pretty much a lurker around here, but I thought I'd pop in and give you guys a little preview of the new system I've been working on for the last few weeks. This system is doubling as a product for my high school senior project as well as my new gaming/LAN PC, and is more or less showcasing my technical abilities along with my current employment as a part-time network/hardware technician for the school district. When the machine is entirely finished I'll probably post a log with all the pics that were taking during construction, but for now, here are the specs: -Athlon XP Mobile 2600+ IQYHA 0351MPMW (anyone who remembers their Socket A steppings will know just what amazing chips these are) -DFI Lanparty B nForce2 Taiwan w/ Hellfire's 3EG Rev. 3 BIOS (arguably the best revision of the best Socket A board ever made) -2x1Gb Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC4000 (while these sticks are currently on RMA w/ Crucial, I'm sure you guys know what Micron 5B chips can do ) -Gainward Bliss 7800GS+ (arguably the fastest AGP card ever made, a 512 Mb 7900GT bridged to AGP) -PC Power & Cooling 510 ATX Deluxe (no explanation needed ) -2x Hitachi 80 Gb 7200 RPM SATA RAID 0 (didn't have the funds for the dual Raptor X's this time around) -Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic Case and watercooling, all parts use 1/2" fittings: -Heavily Modified Lian-Li PC-7+ (casters from the Vxx00 series, alluminum case handles, 120mm side fan and blowhole, custom lighted power switch, fully sleeved interior wiring---thanks to Performance-Pcs.com for this one) -Swiftech Storm Rev. 2 ^_^ -Heatkiller GPU-X for 7800GS-512 AGP (custom full coverage block imported from Germany) -Swiftech MCP355/Laing DDC+ w/ Alphacool Acrylic Top (modified for 1/2" fittings) -Dual Black Ice GTS Steath Radiators -Dual 3.5" Acrylic Bay-Res Fans, lights, and everything else: -Fully UV Green Sleeved/Heatshrinked Interior Wiring (this includes everything: power supply, fan power leads, extension cables, cathode wiring, and even the pump are fully sleeved) -2x Logisys UV-Blue Inter-Switchable UV/Blue Cold Cathodes -Sunbeam Rheobus w/ Lian-Li Front Cover -3x Cooler Master 120mm Quad Blue LED Fans -1x Aerocool Streamliner 140mm Blue LED Fan (mounted between front bezel and case) -UV Green SATA & IDE Cables (bet you didn't see that coming) -Samsung 18X DVD Edited January 9, 2007 by Iggy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vasto Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 That's a serious socket A system, although I have to ask, why not just not splurge as much in some area's and build a dual core system for the future? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
