meade916 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 It's been about 2 1/2 years since i have built myself a gaming rig. Recently i upgraded mine with new video cards, and its GREAT....but i want more. It's going to take me about a week to build it as i wait on products to show up. I purchased a lot locally, i ordered some stuff, and some of my recent upgrades are so new, they will be brought over to the new tower. Basically, i already have 2 Asus GTX 780 Direct Cu2 cards in SLI. I bought them a month or 2 ago and within about a months time, they were already passed up by the new 780ti. Long story short, my $650 (each) cards came down in price to about $530. It SUCKS my card isn't the newest anymore but at least my 3rd is now more affordable. I always wanted to run 3 cards in SLI, even 4. At this time, 3 is the best i can do but it will be awesome! I am watercooling all 3 GPU's and the CPU. I got water blocks on the way for the cards and TONS of shit to make this happen. Believe me this is seriouis, i have 2 pumps, 2 huge radiators, and a huge reservoir to support cooling 3 gpu's. It is overkill but future proof. This new PC will consist of:Corsair 900D Case (Supertower)Corsair AX1200 Power SupplyAsus Rampage IV Extreme x79 (socket 2011)Intel Core I7 4820k Processor (watercooled) <<<< (UPDATE: SWAPPED THIS FOR A I7 4930k (pg. 10))32GB Patriot Viper DDR3 2400 RamSamsung 840 EVO 1TB SSDSeagate 3TB HD (storage)Seagate 2TB HD (storage)ASUS DVD Drive 3 ASUS GTX 780 Direct Cu2 Video Cards (Watercooled)2 SMD OM-1 (Left, Right LED output indicator)1 SMD VM-1 (12v Rail Monitor)1 SMD TM-1 (Temp Sensor/Fan Controller)3 EK Waterblocks (GPU) 1 EK CPU Waterblock2 Koolance High Flow pumps2 EK CoolStream RAD XTX 480 Radiators (8 120mm fans)1 Bitspower water tankEK Triple Parallel adapter block (for 3 GPU)Misc Bitspower fittings, brackets and adapters.Windows 8.1 Pro (OEM) <<< Stardock added to get windows start menu back - 8 doesn't suck now! and now with the pics.

Krakin Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 That 1TB 840 EVO should be amazing! Got the 120GB version and wish I could have gone for the bigger faster ones. 1 Quote Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist? I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.
