Hmm, where'd you get the In Win Allure? They're already deactivated on Newegg.

like i said to glock building the last 2 for my parents and my Gf's parents, both their systems are out dated ( Both are from the time Tiny Computers LTD. were still in business) so thought i would surprise them with 2 updated computers

The i7 system im gonna be using and the Xeon system is going to be used by my GF.

My workspace @[email protected] at my appartment

Also Partially built

Just go my asus gene board in

the xeon and the i5

Got some more parts in My gtx 465 for physx and my second monitor

808.8 GB HDD

Think ppl have heard about this but i thought it was interesting

 

[DNytAftr]

Just posting an update, So since looks like the cards have been canceled im going to stick with sli for now and go with watercooling in the i7 rig. In the xeon rig i might go with a gtx 465 or a 5870 depending on what sales come up in the next week and since the a70 doesnt fit to well i need a new cooler -__-;; Any recommendations on what parts to use in my loop? and whats a good but compact air cooler thats a tad smaller then the a70?

pics should be coming by this weekend of the i7 and xeon rig

 

[DNytAftr]

Just posting a small update, added 2 pics. So im going to be ordering the last 470 soon and put in an order for a gtx 465 and should be here in a week

And the first parts for the Water cooling should be coming in march when i get some money

But im currently debating for the xeon rig to put 2 msi gtx 460's or one evga 560 =\\ what you guys think?
