SR-2 Build in a Cosmos S

post #1 of 92

Thread Starter 
I just ordered my SR-2 build. At the moment, I'm going to use part of the components from my Core i7 build, and later on get that folding.
Everything is on 1 or 2 day shipping, so there should be pics up within the next 2 days.

Components Used in this build will include:
- 2x Intel Xeon e5620
- an EVGA SR-2
- 2x Corsair H50's
- 12 GB of 1600Mhz DDR3 Corsair Dominators (6x2 gb)
- Coolermaster Cosmos S
- LG BluRay Burner
- HP Dvd/cd drive
- 300GB velociraptor
- 640GB WD Caviar Blue
- NZXT Sentry II
- Corsair 750tx PSU
- E-Power 450 PSU
- many many 120MM fans
- 4870x2
- 4890
I plan on upgrade the PSU's to a single 1200w PSU in a few months, and also picking up a 60 GB muskin callisto SSD sometime in the near future.

Added Components:
Antec CP-1000
ASUS Xonar Essence STX
a few new fans, along with some cable management.

----

I plan to begin sleeving wires for the case soon.

With a bit of modding, yes.
This is a really great case, and I figure I'd try and keep it if I can, so I will have to drill a hole or two. The inside of the case is actually pretty big, so I don't see this being too big of a problem.
Worst case scenario, ill get a Lian LI PC-P80.

With some modding, maybe. But stock, I don't think so. The EVGA SR-2 has the HPTX form factor. I don't even know which cases support that at this point.

Modding is definitely your best option.

OP, you should really throw an SSD into the mix. You're not going to feel the snappiness you should feel with a PC costing that much and having that much raw power.

Edit: Nvmd, saw your are planning on picking one up.
