ultimate rig..what is yours?

well i have a skulltrail system and im just waiting for 4870X2's.

I dont use extreme CPU's howerver i opted for 2x 5420 Xeons (q9300 equivalents) I am currently running them @ 3ghz.

I think when i have new cards it will be a great rig. And it costs me less than a high end mobo a Quad core etreme and new DDr3 !Even if the mobo was expensive.

Just fitting some water cooling... 2 secs

edit: was tricky but managed to pack some water cooling in to the DATACORDER. Running very cool now, added another couple of 1k sticks of ram as well.

Nice system CraigN I like the cube cases but my desk wont fit one in the case space lol

That spectrum will take over the world.
 
Built mine last month

Asus Rampage formula M/B
Xeon 3350 2.6 ghz CPU wound up to 3.73 Ghz
8Gb of corsair dominator 8500 C5 (stuck at 931 due to the FSB strap, supposed to run at 1066 though)
2 x ATi 4870 Graphics cards (back at stock until I can get some waterblocks on there)
Processor cooled by a D-Tek fusion waterblock and a 120.2 thermochill rad.
All housed in a TJ07 case..
Oh yea, a couple of UV tubes in there as well, to add a bit of ambiance
 
Dream rig = what I got at the moment ;-p

Maybe something by Vadim, RIP.

nokinidea, what settings/vCore you using for your 3350? Mine seems to need 1.375v for 3.5ghz, seems a bit poor. Got a new motherboard though so might have some more luck with that.

My specs aren't the best any more, let down by average CPU.

But I really like my PC, Windowed Coolermaster Stacker 832 with Raptor X mounted beneath the top mesh so you can see the hard drive in action :D

Under load in windows according to cpu-z 1.288 and thats 8 hr prime 95 stable. :D
 
AMD X16 16 core @ 12ghz each
ATI X9990XTX 12GB GODR Memory (Graphic Octo Data Rate).
Samsung Rocket Point Apollo 200 TB 100 000RPM 512MB Cache.
128GB of Octo Channel RAM.
Pocket LN2 Cooling.

All of that in my Sony Ericsson P5900 with built-in projector that supports 5112x3800 Resolution.


(Max in 10-12 year time I would say).
 
Built mine last week, first time I've built a machine for years and was a bit unsure. But everyone on these forums was helpful and I did my research and OCUK after a little hiccup made a Saturday delivery at no extra cost :)

Q6600 @ 3.4Ghz (will clock higher but I'm unsure for settings)
Asus Rampage Forumla
Zalman 9700 LED cooler
OCZ 8gb 800Mhz 4x2GB matched dimms (need to overclock)
Sapphire 4870 @ stock
Asus Xonar PCI-E
2 x WD Caviar 640gb in Raid 0 (the F1's were out of stock)
Scythe Kama Fan Controller (looks pimp)
Logitech G15
Dual Dell 2007FP monitors

All inside a Black Silverstone TJ07

Not bad for a first attempt and so far so good, it works like a charm even though I know by no stretch of the imagination is it ultimate
