Patriot Build

[KING_OF_SAND]

I have decided to remodel my computer to be a more patriotic build. In doing so it is themed Red White and Blue for the colors of Old Glory (or the Union Jack, which ever floats your boat). I have also used military green and black for a military look thanks to the Corsair C70 case.

The specs:

CPU: i5 2500k 4.6ghz 24/7 - 5.0ghz Bench
RAM: 8gb Corsair Dominator Platinum 2133mhz
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-Z77-UD5H
GPU: X2 GTX 680 SLI
Sound Card: Asus Xonar Essence STX
SSD1: 24gb MSATA
SSD2: 120gb Corsair Force 3
HDD1: 500gb Seagate Momentous XT
HDD2: 1tb Hitatchi DeskStar
HDD3: 320gb WD Blue (Hackintosh)

For the red cables I was going for a "flow" I guess you could say of red coming from the Graphics cards and flowing down the system. Not only from the bend in the cable to the GPU but also how I have them plugged in and braded on the PSU. Little bit of a different look than most people. I wanted to display these cables in an artistic manor without them being intrusive, nor the main attraction but to look like they are just flowing.

I will be posting benchmark scores shortly from Allbench, Cinebench, 3dmark 11, and Unigine.

I see what you have tried to do here, and it's worked moderately well! That's a nice looking rig, im just a little puzzled why not get the same GTX 680 in SLI, but apart from that. Excellently done mate!

I got the Signature 2 680 for $200 brand new factory sealed. Cant pass that up.

That i wouldn't complain about, that's cheaper than an 660, maybe even a top end 650ti Boost?
