Project : Black Ice (reborn)

Just saw this W3bbo - very nice mate. I particularly like the Black mesh behind laser cut lettering affect. I'm assuming you got Tom to do that?
 
Not really m8, been busy reviewing lots of i7 goodies so this project is on the back burner for the moment until I decide which way I want to go with the components. However, after just running a few results it appears that the QX9770 is actually better for gaming than the i7 920:eek:. So I may have made a mistake putting the internals of this rig up for sale:o.

Done a bit of cable tidying and I might have to sort some extra venting in the WC compartment as its getting how down there (think a 140mm front mounted fan might do the trick nicely) so that's next on the list.

So i should stick with my rig for gaming and wait for the high end I7 processors to come down in price?
 
I personally don't think it is worth the outlay just yet with prices being so high as they are.
 
It's not just the CPU's, the prices of the motherboards are just, well, ridiculous tbh. I know it's new hardware but honestly, £300+ for the rampage is silly. Even the cheaper boards are £200+. Imo the core components(mobo, cpu, ram) need to drop £100 each before the performance increase becomes worthwhile.
 
Why bother with extremes? If you can get such good motherboards and RAM why not buy 4 lower end cpus, find the sweetest clocker and sell the other 3?

Love the look of the build so far.

What make/model is that Hard drive caddy you have used? Im looking for a new one and that seems to suit the case
