Don't you just love it when a plan finally works out? (56k better run away!)

[DarkShadow]

Just over a month ago, I upgraded my pc (that's right upgraded!) and managed to spend £1500 on a upgrade. Being the student I am, I had some very late night pretty much every day for 2 weeks (how sad! ), I just couldn't decide on any thing. It started off with the 'E63 vs E66' argument, then it was 'OMG everythings gonna phase out soon'. I must say I owe this forums and specific members (you all know who you are) a huge Thank You. I waffled on for ages bugging a lot of you guys but it's finally worked out for the best.

Low down of my spec:

2 X Dell 2007WFP's
E6300 With Zalman 9700
Asus P5B Deluxe
Crucial 2GB Anniversary
Sapphire X1950XT with Zalman VF900
Corsair HX520
Terratec 2400i Dual Freeview Tuner
Black Wavemaster with Blue Window Panel + Various mods*HDA Mystique Soundcard*
Logtiech Z-5500*
Logitech Dinovo + Icemat V2*
NEC Dual DVD-RW + Sony DVD + Sony Floppy*
Samsung Spinpoint HD's*

*These are Items I had kept prior to the upgrade

Lets get cracking with some pics!

What good is a build without some snacks?

Then some good music:

Restored my 3 year old wavemaster, she really is a stunning piece of work!:

Half of the kit being prepared:

Bling!

Built with new coolers:

Howzat for a tight fit?

Feel the power!

Finally inside her case:

Bl00?

 

[DarkShadow]

Finished

Some Dual Screen Supreme Commander:

I've had to get my Dell screens replaced 3 times, TV card once and had some issues such as bad temps but that's pretty much sorted now. I've manage to hit 3.7Ghz stable and I must say I'm seriously impressed! Monstrous amounts of speed compared to my previous rig.

After hell of a lot of research and time put into this, I can finally say I'm happy!

[Deiwos]

Doesn't anyone take photos straight on anymore?

Looks like a sweet setup

 

[Elrein]

You need to charge your ipod

 

[Zefan]

Beautiful.

Lovely pictures, wish we had more of these threads.

 

[gunner]

Great Pics. Nice rig, what camera are you using?

 

[warren_1979]

Why spend all that money and not get a 8800 of some description.

I'm Baffled

 

[allllec]

Very nice pictures.. very well taken, oh and the rig aint half bad either lol, lucky b%£$%£. nice one mate

 

[GazD]

Nice pics mate, and Nice build.

 

[Massive Attack]

thats a ****** nice rig m8, especially the 2007wfps

 

[Tute]

That's really a thing of beauty.

Excellent component choice too, and like others have mentioned I wish more would do this kind of thing, it's nice to see a PC take shape.

Excellent choice with the sweets too, nothing like an Innocent Smoothie.

Excited from the start with the snacks photos, got better and better. Indeed some will criticise the 1950 but I imagine the budget was the problem there. Great supreme commander pic, dual screen must kick ass for that. Very nice build, and excellent clock. Nice one!

 

[Gas Panic!]

Yep, just to mirror what others said - very nice. Nice component choice (no 8800 though ) but apart from that it's all good.

 

[HangTime]

Bear in mind the upgrade was over a month ago, when gf8 prices were a bit steeper.

Looks very cool compared to my ugly setup, I've always gone for practicality over asthetics.

 

[PardonTheWait]

That's yummy, that.

Good job!

 

[Aelred89]

Wow awesome rig When i get mine setup i'll do a similar thing... although mine won't be anywhere near as impressive
