Tell me what you guys think.

Might post pictures if i ever get my camera working, Wasnt enough room for me to add my water cooling system and such, But i plan to use 2 Zalman Reservoirs one for video cards if possible and another for cpu/ram (havent ordered them yet i need to know if they will connect to the cards i bought) also the ocz flex memory has a really cool water cooling connector. Just connect the hoses and your done.
All in all i paid about 3900 for this ultimate PC.


Edit: This was all bought from newegg.com, i didnt buy any of this from DS i dont like their prices :(.

I would think that going with i7 would be a good idea if going for a completely new rig.

come on to really get everything out of those 3 280s you have from what I read and heard you need those new i7s.

But I would love to have your rig. I should be ordering mine from DS soon.

I have went ahead and RMA'd my board/cpu and spent about 800 more for an I7 940, and an Asus P6T X58 board, and 4 more gigs of ram :) should be here tomorrow.

Why do they blame me for all their little failings? They use my name as if I spent my entire day sitting on their shoulders, forcing them to commit acts they would otherwise find repulsive - Lucifer
