    Oh the glorious quality of mobile phone pictures! Planning on adding an intake on the side, most likely a LED-fan. (looking for quality green LED fans!). Exhausts on the top will have to wait though, I'll get those only if I'm having temp problems.

    The black panels on the White 800D clash badly, looks out of place. I don't like it.

    Good cable management and gratz on getting your build completed! Always nice to see people's finished rigs after they post here.

    Let us know your overclocking results once you get around to it
    Just curious, is there meant to be something wrong with those cards?

    Yeah I just wanted to make sure. Iv'e got a GTX580 lightning and have been thinking about going SLI. But all the computer stores local to me say they don't stock them because of warranty issues or some other bullcrap.

    I guess you could look at it like, I like those 580s so much that I'd not be adverse to doing that. :P

    Hehe, old good Synthaxx Randomly popping in and going off from one line post. Love your equipment updates though, keep em coming. What's up with the blog anyway? Wanted to check the specific pieces of your cooling setup and couldn't, duh!

This increases and smooths FPS out, but doesn't force the secondary cards into actually being pushed (which seems to cause the issue to occur more often).
    is this an issue with the 580 or SLI in general, I've had similar issues with my 590's since the 275 issues, black screens and driver crash/recovery, i solved it by forcing vsync off, and setting the power management mode to prefer maximum performance instead of adaptive, i havent had any issues since, but it does run a few degrees warmer

    Oh yeah, so I finished the second computer now. It's working quite admirably, but I'll probably have to rearrange a few things here in my room to facilitate a better experience using it next to my normal setup, 'least till I'm done with the machines for real.

    Thank god finishing it wasn't to be a hassle like some computers have been though. And it didn't act up in any way.~

    I was going through some things and found a picture from my gaming setup from about 2006. I'm guessing then because it's Gun that's on the TV from my Xbox plus my Star Wars Lego collection was still so small.



    I'll mention this for DeltrusDisc, on the front of my computer I have my first attempt at using a toggle switch for my fans. I had ordered a Military Safety Cover off eBay but I never received it so I just had to get some and use them when I found a reliable place to buy them this time.
