[Project] ARK - 16c/32t Dual 2011

post #1 of 56
Thread Starter 
Still working on getting everything together but this is going to be a re-mod of Serene.
Hardware:
Lian Li v1200 Plus II
Asus Z9PE-D8
Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2650
Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer OB 1600 8x2gb
8tb Total for storage.
Crucial M4 64gb SSD (OS)
Kingston Hyperx 3k 120gb SSD (Games)
Cooler Master Silent Hybrid Pro 850w Fully Modular
MSI HD 7870 2gb Power Edition
MSI HD 7870 2gb Power Edition
Cooling:
Cooler Master TPC-812 Heatsink Fan x2
Cooler Master 120mm Excalibur Fan
Gentle Typhoon AP-15 x2
Gentle Typhoon AP-29
Cooler Master Blademaster 120mm x3
Bitspower 360 RadGaurd
Scythe Server Kaze fan controller

Basically this is my mod that I'm exiting the market with. Build something that I will not have to upgrade much in the future, and something that will be a pleasure of building, as it is my last.

I love the simplistic style of Lian Li's so much. I have used LL all the way back to Citrus.

Serene Teardown

Mainly the existing cooling and some cables.

20120903-DSC_0001.jpg

the old fx 8150 and UD5. this already has a new home.

20120903-DSC_0002-2.jpg

messy modular cables. need to clean those up

20120903-DSC_0003.jpg

mmm some lian li brushed awesomeness

20120903-DSC_0004-2.jpg

CM excalibur fans. these actually push a nice amount of air.

20120903-DSC_0012.jpg

this is my TC 6870. cannot up the voltage so it stays right at 1000mhz core. around 8000ppd

20120903-DSC_0016.jpg

the empty chassis. the mobo will fit exactly right on that tray. i will be adding a new midplate and other metal touches.

20120903-DSC_0018.jpg

old modding at its finest. Holes cut for something i never finished....

20120903-DSC_0020.jpg

Mobo should be here tomorrow is UPS doesnt screw up, and then i can get the case all ready.
