Hi there

Well after years of using computers i thought it was about time i properly built one.

Having just gone self employed and starting my own buisness i though that would be an ideal excuse to build a custom pc. (Which it was)

Just one problem........money.

So many months of ebay and forum hunting and i have the following.
It's not cutting edge but should be more than capapble of what i need it for.

Case - coolermaster cosmos 1000 black
motherboard - asus p6t deluxe
cpu - intel core i7 920 do stepping
ram - corsair dominator 6x2 gig. 8-8-8-24
gpu - 2 x gtx580 hydro copper 3gb
soundcard - asus xonar d2
psu - enermax revolution 85+
ssd - corsair force 120gb
hdd - 4 x 1tb western digital green

The watercooling loop

reservoir - ek multi option 250
pump - ek dcp 4.0
cpu waterblock - ek supreme
chipset waterblock - MIPS
ram block - MIPS
Radiators - 2 x EK 120, 1 x EK 240, 1 x black ice stealth 120.
Fittings - mainly EK
Fans - noiseblockers pl-2

I think that's everything.
To promote my buisness i decided to CAD model the entire setup so i could create a highly detailed and realistic promotional video for it.

Anyway after many evening with a tapemeasure and some callipers this i where i am.

i am currently using rhino with the v-ray plugin for rendering on a very low lighting setup.
The fan cover is fully enclosed by the side pieces and legs but i just haven't bothered to model them yet.

Thanks for the kind words.
Quick update

Front panel modelled and modified to accomodate another fan with custom grill.
