** A Day at OcUK - Stelly's New System - EPIC CUSTOM BUILD **

I wish i lived closer so I could bring in my system, and pay you to rebuild it for me so that it looks all pretty and stuffs. Although, I beat you on the cable management at the rear, but the front looks better on yours as i didnt have any cable extenders at the time and couldnt route them all behind as much as i wanted to, and now i ahve extenders im too lazy to take it all apart again to do it lol.

How much would it cost to have you guys accept a PC, re do it all and replace a few bits of hardware (fans and pumps, maybe a rad as required etc)? Shipping might not be "too" bad, although then i guess you would have to ship it with coolant etc in it and that wouldnt be great, as insurance might become a problem since its not new components your selling? Or can I ship you here, with some stuffs, and have you do it in my home and pay you in beer lol

I like it a lot. Hope it serves you well without issue for many years to come.
Like those before me, I'm jealous ! C'mon lucky numbers....

@rjk, I came back to check a couple of those photos, but it seems photobucket doesn't like you. They all exceeded bandwidth? Any chance you can sort it or post again somehow, i'm looking for inspiration (I have none of my own :().

Cheers

I've already spent over £1300 with OCUK over the past 2 years, and that's without a proper job :P
Looking forward to saving up and splashing out on an expensive PC build - hopefully enough to be invited to OCUK to take a look around and help to build it (Not that i can't do it myself, i'm sure that other OCUK employees would love to share the experience of another expensive, awesome looking custom PC build :D)

Holy ****, nice build!

Albeit sad fact is that in 12 months time it'll be worth less than half of what he paid :( (and probably cheap as chips in 24 months) Nice having money to burn though!

Pah - that's nothing. Depreciation is huge on servers in IT. At work we're soon to decomission a system that was bought a few years ago for millions, but is now obsolete so being scrapped. :eek: Ok, so it's a fairly specialist system but is essentially server based.

This system is good as it's cost effective, water cooled (with overclocking potential) which you don't often see on a branded server. :D

Nice. :)

Not all servers, yours is just a rather specialist and rare bit of kit i imagine. :p Just sold a DL360 that was originally purchased for around £3k for £800, pretty much the same level of depreciation of a £3k enthusiast PC i think, so "normal" servers are generally the same ;)
 
Ok People,

I managed to do some drive testing on the computer, so here are the results:

Will be doing some more benchies tonight I hope, fingers crossed and what not :D

Which is the same as not having power through the system. e.g. being turned off.

No, its isnt really. A BBU is to save the data in the cache in case of a power outage. If you dont have a BBU and are running a RAID setup with Write Back Cache and have a power interuption then the array will fail. In the process of powering off the PC the cache will be written back to the array before powering down correctly. It has nothing to do with saving settings when the PC is powered off.
