The White Elephant

[kaney]

Well thought I had better post a build log of my first build and share it with you all at OC3D. A gaming monster for me but with extra cores from the CPU for Modo 3D rendering.

This build is currently taking shape with me at work .....
1. To help make my day better but 2. To primarily swap out one of our G5 Quad Core MACs and a Custom Built Del LUMP currently running Modo. I think this build when done will do a better job when rendering out via Modo, we shall see but either it will be great for MF3

CASE 600T SE
PSU Corsair 850W
CPU 3930K i7
MOB Rampage IV Extreme
RAM 2133 8GB Dominator Platinum
Cooling H100 with x2 120mm SP Fans
x1 120mm AF in the rear
Stock 200m Fan in the front
SSD x2 120GB Force GT

GPU still to get but at the moment KFA2 4GB GeForce 670 EX OC

Let me get some pics together and share my kit so far.

KANEY.

How much would you sell a g5 case for?

 

[kaney]

Sorry Andrew the G5 case would be utilised elsewhere as another workstation.

 

[yassarikhan786]

After all of the advice you're still thinking about a 680? Just get a 4GB 670

No buying and selling unless it's directly in the FS&W thread...I'm sure mods will have their eyes open to this

yassarikhan786 I am very happy with my advised choice of KFA2 4GB GeForce 670 from Jamesriley94 and a fine choice it is too !

I don't care mate.

Hi Andrew,

As JR94 mentioned you may be able to pick up a G5 Case in the relevant forum area I have seen a couple kicking about from time to time :_)

 

[kaney]

Do those red loop sort of things pull off? Bet you will be able to see them though the top grill.

I really wish corsair would make a sure size version of this case!

 

[ChrisGlobe]

They do; you get blue, red or white and can change them as you wish

 

[kaney]

absolutely Andrew as Chris has said, and they do look pretty nice through the lid of the case, as for the size of the 600T it is pretty big for a mid sized lump, i am pretty sure all the kit will fit in quite comfortably.

Good spot Guvnor, but don't be too hard on him, he's new on these forums. Not sure if this is his first build though.
