Hi Guys
I thought I would post this build up for you guys on the forums to check out.
Its not often that customers are invited to OcUK, but this build was a little bit special and we wanted to invite Stelly from our forums to OcUK HQ so he could see exactly what goes on when your system is built by the experts!
Stelly is a long standing forum member and a regular OcUK shop customer and has spoken to me on many occasions seeking advice on what products to purchase. He has been discussing a system build with me for some time and it has evolved into an incredible personal computer.
He wanted silence coupled with huge performance and I have spent the last few months finalising his hardware so that he got something that was totally bespoke and suited his requirements perfectly. We were aiming to have the motherboard filled with hardware, because "you only have a good system when you cant see the motherboard"
This was not going to be a run of the mill build and there was a lot of talk of raid controllers and enterprise class motherboards, all of these things were very relevant to my interests so I was really excited to be a part of this build.
So this weekend OcUK invited Stelly to our HQ to spend the day with us in the office and watch his PC get built by myself.
Our technical team did a great job of overclocking the cpu and memory and had the bundle on test overnight to ensure that it was nice and stable before we even installed it! 4.6GHz easily achieved with temperatures looking really good. Perfect for an ultra high spec system.
enough of my rattling on. Here is the spec list for this beast!
pretty impressive, I'm sure you will agree
and then the watercooling...
Starting at 9am in the morning and finishing just past 5, myself, Stelly and Ace Modder went to the pub for lunch but made it quick so that we didnt lose valuable building time
The whole build was a joy to put together and looked even better than myself and Stelly thought it would. I am really looking forward to hearing his thoughts when he gets a chance to use it for a few days. I know if I was in his shoes, I would be like a kid at Christmas!!!
Our photographer wasn't in this Saturday so my less than epic photography skills have been called in
Here are the build pictures
Enjoy your new system Stelly

(and probably cheap as chips in 24 months) Nice having money to burn though!
