Thanks. :)

The desk is from Homebase. ;)

It's built from scratch, which is what I've done for my last few desks. It's the only way to get exactly what you want. :)

It's pretty easy to do if you've got the basic tools. :)

i suppose i should look into that, i have never built anything in my life (non-electronic) apart from flat-pack junk and even that is a task for me! i guess im worried ill put my rig ontop and it will collapse lol.

i really like that case though. I went for the Antec 1200, but you can see all your components a lot clearer than mine, because the Antec has some mesh over a quarter of the plastic screen for some reason that kind of hides some of my components.... im hoping when i add more lighting this will not be such an issue! but i suppose the reason i went for the 1200 is the air flow, im amazed at how cool it keeps everything... just need to keep telling my self that aesthetics is the least of my concerns!

When I first started planning this build I was planning on using the 1200, but as soon as I saw more of the TJ07 I fell in love with it. Looking at some of the builds with them in CC and some of the MurderMod conversions I knew it was a case I wanted.

It's so well built, and I know it's going to last me much longer than any of the other hardware. :)
 
to above post/qoutes i went with Cosmo Sport Airflow+Sexyness you will see shortly :D i do love the TJ07 but i wanted airflow that im used to :)

Locky mine was the OC donminator with

Cosmo Sport Case
300GB Veclioraptor + 640GB WD
ASUS Soundcard
280GTX SLI
1000w Cosair
6GB Ram
2 LG Blu Ray Drives
Vista HP 64bit

im guessing it was made by rich to as he called me about soundcard choice :D

Looking forward to seeing pictures before i get home from work :)

unfortunatley, with the pre-config setup i ordered the Tj07 wasnt an option (OC-Dominator) but cest la vi, its just the way in which that case shows off your components, looks fantastich.

Any issues with Sli 280s? i was going to wait a while before buying another one as i only have a single 280 but im struggling to hold myself back!, with every single setting turned up to ultra-high it plays fine in-game, but the frame rate drops off with the cut scenes in the games ive played so far, so i really want another 280 so these cut scenes dont stutter to much with such amazing graphics.

No problems for me. Never less than 200 fps on Left for dead (usually much higher), and even Crysis on full settings doesn't seem to bother it. :)

Still, I haven't had much of a proper gaming session so far. But the weekends not far away now. :D
 
Any chance of some pic's of a nice ATCS 840 build? Looking to buy one of these in the next 2 weeks, and wanted to know how it looks when profeciently built :p

PS you have ran out of stock on the black version, thats the one im after in 2 weeks ;)

it boots fine but when it it hits windows screen goes black? an ideas?

Presumably you had to fit the cards yourself like me? Have you checked they're in properly? And the Sli bridge and power cables are in securely?

Tried connecting your monitor to the other card?
 
I would try and Reseat the cards I think they may have been dislodged in transit.

We would like to remove the gfx cards from systems, but we only do it on larger cards and customer needs to comfirm it.

Let me know how you get on.
 
now both cards are alight but still blank screen. (only reseated bottom card) but top is working fine in safe mode and both are displayed in device manager

so i think it maybe be driver related? drivers are 180.20

in nvidia on start menu only phyx control panel is displayed and in add/remove nvidia uses 2.8GB?

what would you like me to do?
