Default Project: CopperQuad

I have decided to share my experience of my new build. The Copper Quad as I call it will boast an Intel Q6600 quad processor. I am planning of using SLI but first I will try 1 card. Also I will rely on air for cooling .. so far that is my plan. Now.... the elements.

After 4 months of heavy waiting my case ( the highlight of the build) has arrived. Coming fresh from the assembly line in Taiwan I pre ordered this baby thinking in exclusivity and i wanted to have something special for this Quad baby. The case Lian-Li PC-A60C anniversary edition Classical series. It has multiple fans top, bottom, GPU fan, CPU fan Back side fan. It has a special touch for this difficult to get piece and is Cooper Hard drive cage for 5 hdd, Motherboard tray and front bay covers. It has a special tag on the back noting the speciallity of this case with its number of assembly line. So here I share the story.. and hopefully this build be ready by Dec. mmm 24? I will take you to this long journey and I hope you guys like it and enjoy it.














The mobo I will be using is the P5N32-E SLI Plus... In the cyber world this board is called Frankenstain cause it uses different chipsets for the Northbridge and Southbridge. This board emulates a Nvidia 680i while not being that expensive... still is a very hard to tweak board.. only luck and skill will help me o and some help from you guys too
