Even then, it was just some dedicated modder, and not a proper company.

    You could build your own case out of lego though, that's pretty close.
    a shame, but yes, when i move to a bigger place where i can have some space to build a nice case, im gonna do it, atleast i got the hardware lol

    So I am thinking of getting another MSI Twin Frozor II HD6870 for my rig, probably after the 7000 series comes out. I noticed that on my MSI Afterburner program my card currently uses about 65% of it's performance when I am playing Rift and some other newer games are pushing it quite a bit, especially Metro: 2033. With Rage on the horizon I want to have an optimal video performance for it if possible. My only concern is that my power supply does not support Crossfire, I am currently using a Thermaltake Comet 780 watt modular power supply which only has two 4 pin connectors on it, the HD6870 cards use 2x4 pin power connectors. Not sure if my power supply can handle a Crossfire setup.

    I want a halo-themed case. Not that I've played the games much but I like the machinima webseries Arby n the Chief a little too much.

    Someone start a custom case company nao! And ship worldwide.

    Overclocking my new not-yet-broken 2600K now. Think I've ended up with Synthaxx old chip. Absolute crap, still crashing on 4.6 with 1.360V.

    Edit: err, 4.6 so far found somewhat stable on 1.420V (droop 1.400). LLC Ultra high, PLL overvoltage on. Yay? nay...!

    At least a minecraft inspired case isn't exactly going to be hard to create.

    It's its swedish cousin at least!

    When I got the new CPU I had a feeling this 2600K had been returned by someone because it looked used, slight miscoloring on both sides like if someone had cleaned up some thermal paste and done it half sloppy. And the store clerk 5 minutes getting the box with the CPU and kind of personally closed the "Intel factory sealed" sticker with his thumb. Maybe I should go back and try exchanging it.I can probably make it unstable at stock clocks with 100 runs through Intel burn test ;p

    Though temps aren't half horrible. Around 80 C peak during intel burn test. It's just that anything above 4.6 feels out of reach.

    Personally, i just managed to get mine up to 5.2Ghz, booted in, at 1.46V. However, upon starting to prime, i promptly got the PFWOOM sound of the PC shutting down automatically. Moments before this, just a second after starting to prime, i did see the CPU jump to 77C on one of the cores. I presume the shutdown was me reaching thermal limit.
    Maybe but wouldn't it be more likely to throttle rather than shutdown if it reaches the thermal limit?

    4.6 on VID offset (-0.005V) overclocking: "only" 1.384V! though there's some droop not accounted for so it may get higher during lighter loads than IBT, but still, improvment!

One less likely option but still a concern is that i might have caused too much strain on the PSU. It seems very unlikely this was the case, but i don't generally see systems just shutdown like this just did.
    Thermal limit is like 95c+ where the CPU tells the mobo to power off ASAP. I've seen my cores doing 82c when I was trying to push for 4.9ghz and the system ran just fine...although I was just testing how much of a beating my chip could take, I consider anything higher than 75c unsafe for long periods of time.

    It's going to be harder than you think though, I suspect, and depends entirely on what you want to make of it.

    I'll put my processor in the wall socket if I feel like it!

    Well through offset-voltage I now kind of ended up with it stable on 4.6 with 1.360V. Not THAT great as my previous chip could do this at 1.320 something, but it could be worse I suppose, meh. No long time stress test yet ofc but it handled 50 runs of IBT so it feels promising.

    Of course it depends on whether you want it motorized etc, but a minecraft theme of blocks, minecraft enemies and tools etc. could be done with a dremel and something like sculpey.

    I was wondering the same thing..... why buy two Raptors? Especially if you got a Vertex 3.... the Raptors are going to sit there spinning far faster than needed and not for anything that needs it. You're going to install games and crap on the SSD and be saving pics/videos to 10k drives.... x_x

    The Raptors were an honest waste, unless you have like 50 large size games to install. Like, 10 different games the size of WoW, then I could understand, however I doubt that.

    Video editing, rendering, handling uncompressed footage, anything I/O heavy that needs speed and lots of room.

    not sure if this is relevant or not but with that you should run:

    mcpatcher
