Welldone on top UK build RJk
the funniest part of this is the fact that have more then twice the amount of fans then i do in my air cooled case
yeah, a lot of people mention that. they are all fan controlled though and they spin really slowly
i used thermochill radiators so that i could have the fans spinning slowly and making little noise.
wow, thats pretty cool
i wouldnt go that far but thanks
thanks a lot for all the kind comments and support from the OcUK guys, its really appreciated
got some nice upgrades planned soon too

Congrats on best in uk rjk.
Yeah I would probally only use SMD LEDs

Very nice RJK I trained you well
latest plans
right then, after an unusually long period of time not buying hardware i have decided to make some adjustments to my finished build
there were things that never got done that i wanted to get finished and never did
after living with a system for a while i always find faults and feel that things are not complete or need to improve in some way
these are minor adjustments and dont really fit in with the overall finished product
RAID0 Solid State drives suck. the performance degredation on them is inexcusable. in fact, so much so that i have decided that they will be coming out and a single 160GB intel drive will replace it for my OS and Apps
this should see an improvement [using latest firmware] in write performance and obviously allow me to use the all important TRIM function
i won a 160GB drive in the intel competition that i will be sticking in the system to run games exclusivley
i understand that this is massive and totally self indulgant, but i have spent a lot on steam this christmas
i am still waiting for something exciting to happen to graphics to make me justify an upgrade on the 4890s, but those cards eat everything maxxed out. going by the current rate of development in the gpu industry, it will be a year before i even consider an upgrade
aesthetically the system is missing something, i have grown a dislike towards the roof fans, they looked good to start with but dont realistically push a lot of air and i think something a bit more pleasing to the eye is required
the solution is a roof window, similar to the murdermod example, but obviously without the murdermod logo etc
this example shows a clear window but i will be aiming to have a tinted window to match the tinted side panel window - hopefully this should mean that the stealthy exterior remains
i have also realised that whilst the tinted windows look amazing, they do restrict the ability to view the hardware and interior of the case
lets face it this is where all of my work went into so i want to show it off.
initially i was going to bang some cathodes in there or make some kind of LED system to go behind the motherboard.
my computer deserves a treat so i will be ordering a murdermod luminous panel to light up the system subtly and show the interior through the tinted windows.
it should fit in with the overall theme of the build and provide a nice finishing touch whilst also making the entire system look a little more exotic.
let me know your thoughts guys, any input is always appreciated

Do builds ever get truley finnished?
no they do not
not when my OCD upgradeitis kicks in
bit of an update...
first of the 160gb intels is here, currently backing up to make the move over to that
the 2nd ssd is in the post today
i have spoken about the tinted windo in the top and there is a problem with the fabricators, that might have to go on hold for a few weeks until it gets sorted.
either way, that one is out of my hands
the luminous panel, i am currently in talks with Charles H from murdermod, he is waiting for confirmation on his next batch so that should happen soon enough
the porblem is, the more time i spend on his website, the more i want to spend on all that custom gear

it was around 24000+ with the 920 [obviously the 4890s are not the greatest cards for vantage]
i havent run vantage with my new chip yet
So what made you sell your old one for this one rich ?
the chip i currently have is very special
and i fancied a change
and i hate 920s
[no offence to 920 users, but when you have overclocked 4000+ i7 920s they get a little boring]
either way, fornowagain has got a truly epic cherry picked chip
