This is me in the 'office' in front of VX912B and Logitech MX700 input devices:

There she is, in all it's splender (ahem!)

And from the side (note the watercooling on the rear and the clean cut mod for the mach tube):

Scorchio's rig

2x80mm fans ccoler the ram and mosfet and you can just make out the koolance splitter I use to cool the sli cards (follow the tube!!) - bottom center the additional swiftech HP pump

The drives: 74GB Raptor in SATA with 1x160GB and 1x200 GB Maxtor SATA's:

And from the top:

Now some of you are thinking ' looks liek mav's' well it does - me old pal gets what he thinks is best at the time and I follow - there are differences to oour rigs, mainly cosmetic, thats coz a 'Heath Robinson' type of guy and I have a little more attention to detail.

Examples of which are, the fan controller, the mod to accept the mach, the slighy more tidy wireways.

Then again I got the swiftech set-up and mav got the AQZ pump, which is better quality than my swiftech but temps are roughly the same!!

Nice one mate - yeah great taste in components u got there lol

It's true I am 'bolt and braces' just cut two slits and folded the ally over so my mach would fit the p160 then taped up the sharp bits and the fold with electrical tape - scorchio did a proper job using a jigsaw and some protectiv plastic for the edges.

I also like the 2x80mm fans taped together to cool the ram and the DIMM 'fets.

All you need now mate is a 24" Dell and ur away!!

And there's my RAM's packaging on the floor. Any luck getting over 300mhz HTT in this beast?

EDIT: I like the spelling of "Scorchio" and "rig" in the title .

[maverik-sg1]

Look under the back of the lower cards next to the 120mm fan, it looks like this:

LOL - You know it was me who took them David Bailey I am not!!

But it DOES actually prove how similar our rigs are and that as BEST MATES for over 20 years living around the corner from each other, we both prefer to get the same stuff (usually brought at the same time to save carriage).

The largest order I had to place was for the 4x7800GTX's - I think the supplier thought all his xmas's had come at once LOL

Thats what I said mate. The wife. You two make a good team.

Very nice rig - your one of the first i have seen with the PC P&C 800w PSU :O

When its comes down to it, who gets the better benchmarks... ? hehe

[Phil Stanbridge]

They both use the 850w psu and from all accounts it does make the difference - but I'm sure they can tell you the nitty gritty.

 

[maverik-sg1]

I can tell you that the 850w is special, rock solid volts min ripple extra stable, quieter than the 510 (with the load I put on it), more efficient (85%) and got plenty left to give - might try running 2x80w pelts off it soon

Seriously it's not cheap, but you'll never go back once u got one and it sets you up nice for the future.
