I like it alot....it obviously runs pretty cool.

I do have 2 complaints though:

2. blue led's on front door don't work

 

[JackOfHearts]

Yea...I'd like to put it on my desk, but there's really no room....and the wife would beat me if I put it on a piece of wood.....but I'm working something out.

Thanks.

If you put on some wood, id hope shed beat you and usually we guys do plan on working something out when its all said and done , no?

Forgive my stupidness (I can't count past 4)....but what are 'dc projects'? And how would I test them?

dc=Distributed Computing

So it's a great system, I admit. But the real question is: how much $$$ did you churn up for this??

I hooked up the Tsunami case and also had trouble with the blue LEDs on the front. They work on mine... it's just that you have a seperate power cable for them to plug into your mobo, and sometimes mobos list the wrong place to plug it in at.

[theinsen1]

Sure deal:

Doom 3 - demo 1 (1600x1200, HighQuality, Everything Enabled) - 76.3 fps

***I've also updated my original post to set the Doom 3 benchmark from 80 to 104.8 !!!!! It gave me this fps consistently after I ran it through the first time. (Now I know to do that in the future)

 

[JimRaynor]

Thanks...I'm in a high rise overlooking the Houston Medical Center....(but I won't tell you where or which floor, I'd hate to walk in and see a slew of Anandtecher's breaking down my door.)

It rocks as a backdrop for some serious gaming.
