A ZZZAC Thread: Project ZZZAC

simply because i couldn't think of a better name.
this project will not be coming for a couple or so weeks, so if you don't like reading i advise you leave.
Christmas day is going rather well, and i have lots of moneys, decided i should upgrade my pc as a lil project, do some general cable management modding routing.ect and finishing, and get my pc looking. respectable...ish

current spec:
amd x3 720 BE
some bodged broken asus board (on its last leggs)
wd cavier green 1tb
akasa nero s
Enermax galaxy 850watt psu
cm stacker nvidia edition
and a single radeon 5830
4gb cosair xms3 (could also be fried)

and i plan running eyefinity on my three 19" flat screens (having a stand built, got the adapters today)

and amd being a dead platform (at the moment) im going to intel...

what im keeping:
Enermax Galaxy 850w Psu (absolute beast)
Akasa nero s cooler
(kept my x3 under 50oc at all times, even when clocked to its max)
saphire 5830 xtreme (may go crossfire if i think my eyefinity needs more beef)
nvidia stacker (and the fans)
wd cavier green 1tb hdd
and i think that covers it

plans for the rest:
i5 2500 cpu (not k)
asrock extreme 4 rev 3 or 2
4gb or 8gb ddr3 (not definate yet)

will also probably be carbon wrapping my motherboard tray, buying matching fans, and general small mods.
and will be running this back to back with another project
this other project will be a second pc made with spare parts and my old phenom.ect
merry christmas
ZZZAC
ps. got a battery for my camara, so better pics now

will proably kick it off with a few picks of my rig atm, just for a teaser, as i dont think ill be buying parts for a few days to see what na open ebay case brings me (hopefully not having to refund £85 to a scammer)

What resolution are those 19" monitors? Something tells me you will hit that 1GB vram limit pretty quickly. Will watch the thread though, should be good.

considering gta IV on max is maxxing my cpu and not long after that the card is maxxed then i think i will go crossfire, only said maybe as it depends on how my wallet treats me

cba to wok out the total res atm though

Looking forward to this, The LED mod is indeed Tealcs, IIRC he did a tute somewhere. He's a really nice chap and very approachable and has helped me no end in the past, I'm sure he'd be happy to help

Mod On

Get that modzart finished, was constantly checking up on that, please don't disappointing me, else i will have to buy the case of you myself

to everyone already watching, i will try my best, yet its likely this will be a complete dissapointment.
ps. why is everyone "looking forward to this" this is a bad spec being modded and built by a kid?
