Very sexy looking rig, shame those 5850s don't have black PCBs because it would look even better but it still looks great anyway

Thanks for the kind words guys, It's changed a bit since those pictures.

I've moved the UV cathode that's at the top of the case to the bottom and re-routed the GPU power cabled behind the motherboard tray. I will at some point drill the back out and and have them coming from behind the motherboard itself to make it look neater.

Another thing that's on my to-do list is drill out the HDD cage and mod it so that I can reverse the HDD's so that the power and SATA cables will be out of sight.

Also considering getting a drive bay reservoir for my laing DDC Ultra so that I can clean the pipe work up a little.

And I know it sucks that my 5850's have a red PCB, That's one of the reason why they and the 9800GT is up for trade in another forum I use ( overclock.net ) as I want to go Nvidia and I need cards with more VRAM!!

I get bored of hardware too fast

It's a bit over-saturated with colour but you get the idea

Looks awesome, matey. Would think it's quite an investment to do something like this. How much does it all tot up or would you rather not talk about it?

In all honesty, £1400-1500 is all it cost, Maybe less... And a good £300 chunk of that is the water cooling gear.

When consider how it looks, The speed and graphics performance I think I've done quite well. I out-perform systems costing a good £500 more then this.

I meen look at my Crysis result...

There isn't a lot of systems that's in my price bracket that can pull those frame rates off!! Look at that minimum frame rate!! 38fps with 8xMSAA!!!

And that's with my 5850's at 850Mhz, Since I found out that Sapphire Trixx can adjust voltage on them they now run 1000Mhz core speed 24/7 and are always between 40-45c with my cheap £20 GPU water blocks!!!
 
The 5850's have been sold as I'm becoming very texture bound in quite a few of my games.

ASUS 6950 Voltage tweak in en route
