My *little* build

[muskie32]

Specs:

SR-2

(2) 5670's (dual hexas)

12GB or ram (2000mhz)

Evga GTX 590 HC

Little Devil Case

AX 1200

All watercooled


It is leak testing ATM, I will post pics when it is 100% done :thumbsup:

 

[Schmide]

Really nice. That's a whole bunch of pci-e slots to fill.

 

[dac7nco]

Damn. Post your OC results after you're done tweaking; it'll probably take awhile. I know the SR-2 well (Rev.1); mine is air-cooled, however, and under the cheapest hex-cores around (5645s). Congratulations on a system which will last for a long time, and you just made Aigomorla piddle.

Damn, That's a single loop!

 

[muskie32]

hehehe, This is just my show case build and my fourth SR-2. It is an awesome platform!

 

[OVerLoRDI]

That looks really nice. PCI-E slots look too empty for such a build

 

[muskie32]

LOL, I may put in my 4 GTX 580's. Then use it as my main rig

 

[dac7nco]

If only we could get tax write-offs for folding (3,536 Fermi SPs and counting!).

Having a loop on each individual component would of been a better idea. But very nice build you got there

 

[bleucharm28]

That is beautiful! How much does she weights? I love both GPU and chipset waterblock.

 

[kittysox]

That is so insanely beautiful looking!

That would not really make a difference. Only maybe by a couple of degrees. Not worth it IMO.

I was going for the overall clean look. That makes it look messy. :\

Here are some more pics from earlier in the build.

As you can see I did go crazy on fittings... There are over $1K in fittings in the build

 

[muskie32]

As for the hard drive I may add a raid card and use 8-10 C300 64GB SSD's in raid 5. But if I do that I might have to make it my main rig...

that sir is a cruncher's wet dream right there...:thumbsup:

Jesus Christ... Just... Damn.

I recommend LSI, with a pair of XClio backplanes and two Adaptec fanout cables with the sideband connectors.

You will have no more load times, ever, ever again.

Oh jesus, you went a little crazy on the fittings there, - LOL

wish i had your kind of money

 

[dac7nco]

When you're (close to) done, post some night-time shots of the system; if you have the spare cash, pick up the XFX-branded multi-monitor stand... It's one of the only things I've seen reviewed that can hold three 24"+ heavy IPS/PVA screens in portrait. I make do with a pair of Ergotron double mounts, which isn't nearly as classy. If you finish the stand/monitors/peripherals with red trim, I'll buy you a drink any day you're in San Francisco, which is known to have a few bars.

I personal like a single monitor, and a secondary for gadgets. Too bad I am not old enough to drink =P

 

[Corporate Thug]

OP, what model is that case? Also, how do you get in touch for custom Little Devil Cases?

 

[billyb0b]

I like the look, size, and H2O cooling choices with LD cases. Too bad their insanely pricey =/

 

[gramboh]

Baller status achieved. Very nice work.

This is what I got. http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=30710

LD also has a website and you can just email him to ask for custom colors, ect.

 

[muskie32]

I have a few LSI cards to choose from on hand ATM. I think I am going to use the Megaraid SAS 9265-8i. I just have one sitting here :awe:

Jesus Christ... Just... Damn.

So many fittings... I am waiting on my copper waterblocks before I build into my SR-2 and I cannot imagine spending that much on them.

With that said, that is one fine looking build and will be a great addition to your collection of folders. Are you going to put some cores to the 590? I would like to see the differences between the options you have with it as I might have to change my build depending on what you find out.

No, I am not going to fold on the GPU. It takes away to much PPD from the SMP to make it worth it. :\
