Cosmos II SR-X Build + Pictures

coolmiester · 12 Jun 2012 at 13:02

Just thought i'd share another finished build completed last week with you guys as its pretty high spec and not something you see everyday

Should also point out it wasn't exactly how i’d envisioned things happening but a few initial teething problems with the BIOS and a bank holiday to contend with meant the chassis painting was delayed and with Computex kicking off in two days, i decided to complete the build so at least i could grab some pictures of the fully working system and luckily all the parts that are getting painted can be easily removed in the coming week or so and paint work carried out.

Anyway, a few finished (until its painted) photos and spec....

System Spec:
Cosmos II
EVGA SR-X Motherboard
Intel Xeon E5-2687W 2011 CPU’s
EVGA GTX680 Hydro Copper GPU’s

SSD’s - Kingston 120GB
Coolermaster 1300w Silent Pro Hybrid PSU

basing your gpu choice purely on the location of the power inlets sounds like a silly idea to me

wires can mostly be hid but the ones that are on show can be made a feature

Totaly agreed

A few pictures of the SR-X system on the Cooler Master booth at the recent Multiplay i46 LAN, complete with the new addition, illuminated Intel logo :cool:

While at i46, EVGA called in and brought me their new EVGA SuperNOVA NEX1500 Classified Power Supply which finishes this mod off perfectly and i’ve got to say, i think this is as close to perfection i will ever get.

Yes there were a couple of issues with the original BIOS on the SR-X board which were quickly ironed out but since then i’ve never looked back and its been rock solid ever since.

Simply put, there is absolutely nothing i would change with this system which is probably a first for me.........oh wait, yeah i’d add another couple of 680’s for good measure or swap them out for a couple of 690’s but apart from that, this is as good as it gets for me.

Final Spec and a few pictures with the new PSU...
