DONT FORGET PICTURES, GUYS :teehee:

 

 

 

I'm still working with preparations on my little Skyrim-machine :blush: Almost finished the inside yesterday with a new 6970, a fancontroller, some noisekilling material, fixing and hiding cables, and moving over a bunch of storage-HDD's to a NAS instead. Still some tweaks and addons to be made, especially for cooling those damn GPU's :sweat: Will also turn up CPU frequencies to 4+ Ghz now that I'm not running it 24/7 anymore.

 

Specifications:

 

CPU: Intel Core i7 920 @ 3.8Ghz (Noctua NH-U12P)

Motherboard: Gigabyte EX58-UD5

RAM: 6GB Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600Mhz

Graphics card: XFX HD6990 & HD6970 @ Trifire

Storage: Intel 510 120GB SSD (Windows), Intel X25-M 160GB SSD (Games) & Seagate 7200rpm 1TB (Random crap)

Soundcard: Xonar Essence STX

PSU: Corsair HX 1050W

Case: Fractal Design R2

Monitors: 3x Dell 2209WA Ultrasharp 22"

 

 

If anyone else here owns an R2/R3 you might wonder where the hell the HDD-rack has gone. I had to tear it out to fit the HD6990 :laugh: Improved airflow a LOT anyway, so it was well worth it! Mounted the SSD's under the DVD instad, and the HDD got striped under the "box" :P I'm testing the position, but will most likely build a proper mounting there for it later on as it turned out to work excellently.

 

Eyefinity sweetspot! :dance: Will be awesome!

Oh, I get it; It's like having a normal screen up front, but the sides are peripheral vision that you don't really focus on. Makes sense :thumbsup: . Sooo jealous. :wallbash:

Yep, it was actually the only fan-controller I could find that would fit behind that door/hatch on my case :whistling: But it turned out to be a very good one, especially with the 5 heat-sensors you could place all around the case and let it adjust your fans speed automatically. Wires were quite short though, at least if you want to hide them :( And the power-cables was a mess, so I had to at least get rid of all the molex-connectors to be able to keep it all hidden in the case.

Also, some "behind the scenes". Not quite as pretty :wacko: But it's more organized than it looks!

Well, a pretty normal setup, 24 inch screen, two year old Quad Core with a two week old GTX 570 Phantom that has revived my gaming bug, and for coolness is the steampunk-esque light my grandfather made from a WW1 helmet inner.

 

I try to get rid of all the blinking LED's cause they wake me up in the middle of the night (my bed's right opposite) That way I can sleep the exact optimum amount, and maximise my game time! :geek:

But I would likely lie awake all night just looking at Mr Bravo's setup. Possibly on that rug.
