Hey guys, just after completing my build not more than a couple of months back, im starting a new one. seriously this is now becoming an addiction.

Name for the build pcXtremists has been chosen after a new company i started which would be selling computer hardware here in Pakistan.

So for starters. The spec sheet. Still unconfirmed. Will be deciding on the parts as i keep moving along.

- Intel Core i7 980X Processor (confirmed and ordered)
- Gigabyte X58A-UD7 motherboard (confirmed and ordered)
- Corsair Dominator GT Ram modules 6GB (confirmed but yet to be ordered)
- Soundcard (undecided but preferably creative)
- 2X Nvidia GTX480 SLI (unconfirmed. if nvidia brings new gpu's out soon then ill change)
- 4 SSD's. 1x128GB Corsair (already owned) 1x256GB Samsung (already owned) 2xG.Skill Phoenix II 256GB SSD's (unconfirmed, still thinking about it)
- Be Quiet 1000W Modular PSU (confirmed and already own)
- Blu ray Reader (confirmed but yet to be ordered)
- 3X Alienware 120Hz LCD's (confirmed but yet to be ordered)

Now the watercooling Spec sheet:
EK-Supreme HF - Blue Plexi/Chrome
2xEK-FC480 GTX - Nickel
EK-CoolStream RAD XT (240)
EK-CoolStream RAD XT (360)
2xDanger Den/Laing DDC 3.25 -12V 18 Watt Version
Frozen Q Liquid Fusion Reservoir
EK-Multioption RES X2 - 250 Advanced as a backup since the frozen q tends to leak every now and then
XSPC Dual 5.25" Bay Reservoir for Single Laing DDC
Bitspower Compression Fittings
Feser Tubing White and Blue
Feser Clear/Uv blue coolant

Theme that i decided for this project is White and Blue. I always wanted to do a build in white so thought why not do it this time. I will try to get everything painted in this colour scheme from the case itself to the power supply to the Cpu block.

This build will take some time since i have not even ordered the WC parts or most of the main components as well. As you guys can imagine, this kind of setup requires deep pockets which unfortunately i dont have at the moment. So as i keep saving money, ill keep ordering.

Stuff that has been done uptil now.
MDPC-X Sleeving was ordered and arrived
Be quiet dark power pro 1000w Psu arrived
Gigabyte X58A-UD7 motherboard is on its way.
Already own the Tj-07

Paint Job on the tj-07.

Paint Job on the Be quiet dark power pro Psu:

Sleeving Partially done:

I plan to use a sandblasted glass panel instead of the mid plate. This build is very much inspired from the murder mod builds. Top mesh grill will also be replaced by a thin glass panel to see the internals. Thats it for now. hope you guys like the build

Oh and sorry for the long story

Nice colour scheme

thats some serious hardware you have on the way too.

time for update. well not a big one but shifted to my new room today and started working on the 24 pin connector.

My shiny new workbench

Psu Stripped out

This is what 100 meters of MDPC-X white sleeving looks like

Attack of the cables

New Room with new setup

My new CD rack

i wish i could spend 10k usd on my computer

Time for teeny weeny update:
More Sleeving in progress pics. (i guess you guys must be getting bored that all you have to see is sleeving pics in the updates but ill show you why its taking so much time)

45 Minutes after starting working on the sleeving i got here

This is how a normal wire looks like

This is how it looks like after applying a electrical tape coat. Trust me its really frustrating to do this

After 1 and a half hour i get to

So first its stripping the wire out, then a coat of electical tape, then sleeve then put the wire back in. Reason for electrical tape is to protect the coloured wires being seen through the white sleeve. Anyways thanks for looking

 

[Skjold]

Do you really need the electrical tape?

If you strecth the sleeve real hard its should cover the cable completely.

Ive just been trough the whole MDPC-X sleeving ordeal myself (black n red), even under light i cant see through the sleeve.

 

[alienware]

@Skjold. no matter how much i stretch the sleeve, colour still shows through. This is only with white. previously i used black and red too and never needed any sort o tape and the wires were not visible.

 

[Psycho666]

awesome job!
just finished my build...but this will look even better

 

[alienware]

Motherboard Arrived today. Here are some pics

Front Box

Back o the box

Open this box and you see another box

And open that box and you see yet another box

Both Lined up Together

you wont believe when but when you remove the top plastic cover of the motherboard, you see ANOTHER BOX!!!

The hybrid Cooling Heatpipes for the north-bridge...in case you're really stupid and you want to block the 2 mini pci slots

The pre-watercooled NB.....not gonna need that

10 sata ports

.....YES!!!!

Rev1.0

Back I/O ports

Time for some macro photography

Dual Bios Chips

Wierd Finish on the Cpu Bracket

1366 Socket Pins

And more Pins

POWER!!!!!!

I just liked this shot

Casing and board together

 

[K10]

beautiful

subbed

 

[alienware]

ok time for update. i think all the parts that needed to be painted have been painted now. actually not all..there are a few left. but majority of them have been. This time was the mid plate and the motherboard tray with some, well not so professional cutting. Have a look

Midplate installed

shiny

Got this cut to route cables behind the motherboard tray..although i slightly miscalculated and got the cut wrong....will get this corrected soon

And now the tray with the board installed. Looks good imo

The not so straight cut (will need fixing too)

Psu 24 pin completed

Thats it for now thanks for watching

 

[Psycho666]

looks awesome!
finish it!!

 

[ArmageddonAsh]

Dam that looks very nice, i dont know what it is but i prefer white coloured cases - looks very nice and that MB - support TRI-SLI?

Cant wait to see the final result

MB does support Tri-Sli. ill have to go sli only though because im stuck with 1000w psu and that wont support 3 cards with all the other hardware that will go into this build.

 

[FEAR.]

SUBBED!

Colour scheme looks sweet

 

[Detroitsoldier]

Looks awesome man. Love the racing stripes on the case and it's a very nice paint job there.
Ther UD7 goes excellently with the color scheme you have, though the UD7 looks TINY in comparison to the case!

You did a very nice job with the sleeving, though you may want to get custom ATX power connectors on the PSU (to replace the black connector that goes to the mobo). I guess it's just my opinion and nothing against you, but I'm sort of glad I didn't individually sleeve my mobo wires. Having each sleeved makes it look a little messy.
Great job overall!

 

[drummerstix11]

Amazing, I love the work you've done. Keep it up!

 

[b0klau]

Updates?

 

[alienware]

sorry for the delay in update. Recently had a son so he was taking all my time. now that things have settled down, im back on the build again. Ordered 1 of the 3 asus 3d lcd's and got GTX 480's as well.

2xgtx 480's sparkle brand

Nvidia 3d Vision Kit.

Also ordered the top grill from murdermod. I thought ill make one myself but then murdermod got available and there isnt anything else that is more perfect so thought that would do.

 

[Psycho666]

congrats on the new offspring

and congrats with those awesome cards!
