    Default The ULTIMATE i7 RIG!!!!!!!!!Watercooled, Overclocked, SSD Drives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ok so I am debating on selling my rig. I need the money for a new car, and for what I use this thing for I really dont need it. The computer consists of the following:

    ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 Motherboard

    Intel Core i7 920 (overclocked to 4.6 STABLE) Watercooled
    6GB OCZ DDR3 1600 (8-8-8-24)
    EVGA GTX 260 SSC
    30GB OCZ Vertex SSD Drive (for os)
    32GB OCZ Core SSD Drive (for programs)
    500GB Hitachi 7200 rpm hard drive (for media)
    Corsair TX 750W Power supply
    Silverstone TJ10 Aluminum Case (black)
    Swift Tech Apogee GTZ Water block
    Danger Den CD drive reservoir
    Jing Way DP1200 Water Pump
    3 Swiftech 120x120 radiators (1 fan mounted on the intake radiator, 2 fans mounted on a push pull setup on each exhaust radiator)
    Total of 6 120x120mm Red LED Coolermaster fans (92 CFM)
    4 unit fan controller on front on case with speed adjustment knobs (also shows 4 different temp readouts)
    Samsung 22x DVD/CD burner
    Legit copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit(will come with the original DVD and Key)

    Thats it I think. I have a TON of time and money in this rig. I dont really want to get rid of it but since im trying to either pay the s2000 off and keep her, or just sell the car and pay cash for something else and either way it would be nice to have the cash and not the computer.

    I dont have picture of the current build, but I have pics of it in an old case and I have picture of the new case just not with everything in it.

    Silverstone TJ10 Case
    The TJ10 case in a all aluminum server style case with a removeable motherboard tray. The case can hold up to 6 hard drives and 4 CD/DVD drives. At its current setup there is enough room for one more CD drive as well as 4 more hard drives.

    SSD Drives
    The drives I have are setup in the most economical way for me. The Vertex drive is one of the best drives on the market for the money. I have my OS on this one since its the faster of the two. The Core is a slower drive but due to the near 0 access time i still keep it around. Both GREAT drives, and both less than 4 months old.

    Water setup
    The water setup in the case at the moment is about a month old. I have changed things out in the case so many times that its hard to even know whats what. I do know that of the 3 radiators 2 are less than a week old, while 1 is maybe a month old. The pump is about 2 months old, and the reservoir and tubing is all under a week old. All the fittings are Danger Den Fatboy fittings and all connections are installed with thread sealant, and then tightened with metal hose clams, none of that crappy plastic shit. The block holds up well, named one of the best blocks in its price range. All the lines in the case are top quality PRIMO line thats clear with a red coolant in it. Works great, and you can hardly hear the thing run.

    Overclock
    Ok so the processor has been overclocked literally since the day I got it. Currently the clock is at 4.6 ghZ. It has been completely stable at this clock for over a few months. With the water setup I can run it under full load on Prime 95, OCCT, and Intel Burn and I rarely see temps over 75-80 degrees Celsius. System does blue screen when under certain Advantage tests, but I think its more related to Nvidia drivers more than anything. Either way it might blue screen on me once a month, but thats if im lucky.

    If you have any questions feel free to ask. I have TONS of money in the machine and am asking what I think is right for it.

    Asking: $2,500
    If you are interested in this computer and are up to date with everything you will understand the price...
    thats all I am going to say about it


    PS- Pics of everything should be updated and online by this weekend.
