Hello, heres a little something from a really small country called Pakistan. I think this is my third build log here...Last build wasnt up to mark and had a lot of problems in it. So decided on scrapping it and getting on with a whole new build with much better and drool worthy specs.

Heres a little shot of my last build.

Now onto new stuff. Lets list down the specs first

Motherboard: EVGA SR-2
CPU: Intel Xeon E5645 x2
Ram: 12GB G.Skill (still thinking on which one)
HDD: 1x 120GB SSD + 1x 256GB SSD Already own. Might add another 2 SSD's, still thinking on that too.
GPU: Sparkle GTX 480 Tri SLi (already have these and dont wanna jump to 5 series. Will upgrade to 6 series when it launches)
PSU: Thermaltake ToughPower 1500W
Casing: Little Devil V8 Inverted HPTX

Watercooling Specs: Most of the stuff i already own from my previous builds, so just gonna list down stuff that i need to order.

2 x EK HF CPU Blocks
1 x EK Coolstream 480 Radiator
1 x XSPC 360 Radiator
Tygon Tubing
Feser One Red Coolant
Bitspower Blood Red compression fittings (trying to get a hold of these directly from bitspower)

Lets start with a couple of pics that i took of the hardware that has arrived.

MDPC-X Sleeving

A couple of days ago, my motherboard and processors arrived.

The pair

Hooked this up quickly on air cooling to see if the board was DOA or not and if everything was running fine out of the box. Was glad to see that it did

All ok!

Thats it for now. Currently waiting on LD to get his first batch of inverted casings, then gonna order that. I must say importing all this stuff to Pakistan really takes a hit on your pocket. Thanks for watching

yo if you were to sell the tj07 how much would you want for it (just the case and the power supply)

 

[alienware]

thanks for asking bro...but currently not selling.

 

[jach11]

heres a link to the old build log.

Time for another unboxing. Got the thermaltake Toughpower 1500W psu to handle 3 x gtx 480's. Also finally took pics of accessories that came with the board.

 

[alienware]

now i dont really like the colour this psu has...n i dont wanna risk getting it painted...so im thinking of applying some sort of a foil or sticker on it to change its colour. any suggestions?

[alienware]

been a long time since i updated this thread. Some progress happened. First i got sponsored by bitspower (my first ever sponsor). They were kind enough to send me some stuff that i wanted. Big thanks to vincent for that. Lets start with pics shall we.

ok small update...today the tubing arrived....finally found one in size which was orange coloured. Here are the amazing pics

Wow, this is looking pretty cool, what was wrong with your old build if you don't mind me asking?

As a side note, why not go 24gb of ram (3x4 in each CPU)? You can just pick up 3 8gb kits and it won't cost much considering what you're spending on board and CPUs? It will give you more headroom to take advantage of all that power (in things like photoshop).

thanks guys.
@varjo: well 24gig is always an option, 12gig is more of a temporary setup you can say. Plus i was under the impression that overclocking 12 gig would be easier compared to 24. Shed some light on this please if im wrong.
