12/21/07
UPDATE!
newegg stuff came today!
second post!
scroll down!

there was an image issue which is now resolved.
is there something wrong with attachments ocn?



so i got the go ahead on building a new system for work

this is what im looking for. im mainly a 3D/graphic artist, and half the time
my system is either 3d intensive, or CPU intensive. im looking to spend something
thing around 2500 and below.

especially for rendering im looking for 3.4 on up should be easy
video card im open to suggestion, remember system is mainly for work here
tho i will be benching ever so often

completely open to suggestions with cooling. also open to both cpu and gpu
cooled, as this system maybe on for days on end (intensive rendering)

anyways im going to be ordering tomorrow, or atleast parts of it.
so lets do this!




heres my list to start.
Hardware:

Update: 12/18/07

1x ASUS MAXIMUS FORMULA LGA 775 Intel X38 ATX Intel Motherboard $259.99
1x Intel Core Duo Quad Q6600 $260 (G0 plz)
2x Transcend AxeRAM 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) $231.98
1x SILVERSTONE DA800 ATX12V / EPS 12V 800W Power Supply
2x Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD5000AAKS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive $209.98
1x SAMSUNG 20X DVD±R DVD Burner Black SATA $33.99
1x 8800GTS 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 $359.99

puts me at $1,770.24 with shipping and tax (newegg)

again open to suggestions the 8800GTS doesnt matter what brand, XFX got a mail-in rebate so thats nice

Cooling:

Update: 12/18/07

Swiftech MCP655 Vario 12v DC Pump
DTek Fuzion w/ nozzle

for rad really depends on what case. i was thinking cm690, its really cheap roomy,
got potential, looks like i can mount a 120.2 on top with ease.

so BI GTX240 or PA120.2 unless theres some other good suggestions

i dont want so much to run a rad box, so if i can with some modding get it in
the case i want to do so.

and as for the rest of the cooling, just the basics.

1/2 ID x 5/8 OD tubing, smart coil, i want a fill port and maybe a res, i dont
mind using a T

i see that Mountain Mods gots the BIX III for 77 which is kinda cheap, wonder if there in
stock, they dont have any stock status

oh also sound isnt too much of an issue but if i can keep it low then thats great.

cant wait for the parts to be pouring in christmas at work! they even
got a work station in the back where i can put the who system together, now
only if they had CNCs...

anyways

This should be quick, hopefully i get all the info i need by tomorrow so i can order and start this thing

thanks for watching

forgot system drives a 30" flat dell 3007

Day One:

Part 1
Newegg arrives!
Dec, 21, 2007

looks like its christmas early this year! woot
lets get right to it shall we!


more pics soon!

__________________________________________________ _______________
Part 2
Open open open

lets see how she looks from the inside




__________________________________________________ _______________
Part 3
In we go!

no stopping me now!




__________________________________________________ _______________
Part 4
technical stuff

measuring a few things make sure everything fits ok.


might have an issue with a push pull, but well see.


more then enough room left to right so were ok there.

top has more then enough room and with the top cover,
it will cover the who rad only exposing the panos which
is cool. once i actually receive the rad well see what happens

the 360 is expected here on the 24... fedex overnight
the rest from sidewinder is kinda in the air, i dont like
usps anymore, after losing my 360gt... so im kinda scared.
but im sure everything will be fine

thats all for now, im going to be working on a few drawings
ill post those up

to be continued...

ChielScape

maximus, GTX, and i would recommend 3/8" tubing for the maximus block. the FuZion doesnt really care about 1/2" vs 3/8", especially with the nozzle.

would also have to recomend Trancend aXeRAM 1066 over what you have there. I've seen it reach 1360Mhz on the maximus (with 2.64vDimm), which is the highest ive seen any DDR2 go. should be a bit cheaper too, not sure.

I like the all metal Stinger custom CPU blocks....Stinger WB

The Fuzion is a good commercial block..

I'd go with a GTX with some decent cfm fans like these....86cfm Pana.....The GTX will beat a PA with 47cfm fans and higher......

The BIX is a good rad with 100+ cfm fans, these are what I used on mine...108cfm Sunon....115cfm Panaflo...

Tubing...This is really good and its cheap, I prefer it to Tygon......You use it on 1/2" barbs, its more compact and a little easier to route around in your case....7/16x5/8"


This for full 1/2x3/4 tubing.....1/2x3/4"

no i dont mind using a 360 really i need to find a case to standardize on first.

evil-98

heres my list



i wont be going wrong with a dtek right? im pretty safe?
theres just so many chooses now, also BI GTX240 ok?
with just a pull set-up because its internally mounted?
if i absolutely have too ill go with a rad box, but i want
it inside.

edit:

cant find any more maximus SEs anymore
