Well done to him, he blew up 2 gfx gards....

TaKeN · 25 Feb 2009 at 10:59

But.. he uses a cheapo mouse and keyboard.. and his screens tiny

Wish they would get with the times i've been watercooling for the past 8 years and using Phasechange on and off for the past 5.

News on pretty much anything relate to science/technology is normally about a year behind the actual development, but this is quite amusing.

Nice work that
I've followed this build on another site

DragonWoLf · 25 Feb 2009 at 11:08

This isn't getting much of a attention in GD

Looks very nice though. Although a complete tool for 'blowing up' 2x GTX280s.

and in torching a couple of 280's not a very clever tool either, made me laugh though when he talked about leak testing and then subsequently his 500-600 pound mistake lmao.

he had no chance with that reporter.....she was giving him the 'weirdo' eyes

balls · 25 Feb 2009 at 14:30

Lets face it however the interview was done, he was going to sound like a tool.... to us that is

HighlandeR · 25 Feb 2009 at 22:11

Well I bet thats got her tubes running

Reality|Bites · 25 Feb 2009 at 22:21

You may look at him and think "tool" but that's how we all look to people who arn't interested in PC's the way we are.

w3bbo · 25 Feb 2009 at 22:51

Lol, that 'tool' as you call him owns one of the most successful WC stores in the UK.

ConTRo13R · 25 Feb 2009 at 23:07

Ouch look at those 90 degrees around the gfx cards! that must hamper the flow rate big time!

Nice cable management though

Geckovich · 25 Feb 2009 at 23:23

Awwww, bless the BBC, aren't they quaint.

Love 'em.

Modifications of this kind can be dangerous and invalidate manufacturer warranties. Such projects should only be carried out by qualified engineers in controlled conditions.

lol

and what game was he playing ?

darwinws · 26 Feb 2009 at 18:08

Actually quite a nice looking PC I thought, dunno about the compression fittings and all the 90 degree bends but oh well. Did he have 2 rads, or was that just 3 fans on the top?

BTW he was playing Mirrors Edge.

PaulyD · 27 Feb 2009 at 12:37

Rad in the bottom as well of course

Also I hear you w3bbo, thought this was one amazing build by all involved who made it possible, find it strange people calling him a "tool" because of the 2 cards that died

Another person can come on here and only get sympathy after getting a leak...
