Back to the Drawing Board!
Interesting need more info not just because this build is awesome but i am building one very soon
Interesting need more info not just because this build is awesome but i am building one very soon
well spotted
there are some changes i am making, not for aesthetics, more for performance
for instance.
my 4890s are causing me no end of headaches
not a single ATI driver since the 9.10 have worked well in all the games i play.
if something works well in one game, the next game i install will have issues
finally got 10.2s and they work great in COD MW2
BC2 gives me flickery water and random crashes though so i have to run it in single gpu mode
so i cant win, its annoying me so i am going back to a single card. hopefully it will eliminate all my multi GPU issues. i never had issues with SLI but nvidia dont seem forthcoming with any cards yet. so i am changing the graphics
also, i have added a sound card, mainly just because i wanted one
i have a while to wait for my murdermod parts so i am trying to get the other bits done in the meantime.
hence, back to the drawing board

Ahh, cool will be getting myself a TJ07 next week and then my wallet will cry as it gets bashed for funds to build it
changes to the build
still waiting for my parts from murdermod but am expecting some progress pretty soon according to Charles H
removed the troublesome 4890 crossfire and all of the headaches that went alongside them
added a lovely new Radeon 5870. we wont talk about fermi...
Nickel plated EK of course
the nanofluid spent around 24 hours in suspension looking lovely and white...
before it turned a cloudy/clear/bluey type colour. far from ideal but it has had a 4-5'C temp drop across all 6 cores which is just what i needed
I had a creative X-Fi Fatal1ty titanium sound card for about a week, the shoddy driver support and clunky interface meant that it had to go. It has been replaced with the frankly amazing Asus Xonar D2X PCI-E Sound Card.
This card is infinatly better and the sound quality is brilliant both in game and in music. plus it looks pretty good too.
heres where I'm at now
just waiting on the final few pieces

Doh! it's white tube isn't it *slaps head*
As you say it's clearly visable in the res.
