Very nice... making me want to start on my planned water cooling setup right now... if only I had the money
Also, what is the loop order on that thing out of curiosity? The plumbing looks like a bunch of spaghetti

wwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww I want your bank account!

Please don't quote entire images -_-

Very nice build for folding 24/7 though.
It's not really a matter of being able to afford it, many people could buy and build something like that if they wanted to. It's just they don't feel the need for something like that

how i just love all these fake setup`s by users who has no ider of what goes together
you are running a Intel Core i7 980x OCèd to 4,3 Ghz, plus 2x5970, plus a rampage III Extrame, plus 8 Gb RAM, plus a h-50 watercooler and you run that on a 850W PSU........ riiiight
you have 4x4 Gb RAM on the board?......... you are running a x58 board = tri-channel and you are running dual channel......... guys if you are going to make all these fake systems, atleast read up on hardwave first, before posting

Ovbiously don't know a lot about PSU's

Ovbiously you don`t know any thing about PSU.
running that system for half a year will kill that PSU in the end. yes a PSU can handle more watt then what is on the box, BUT not for ever. and that system he posted uses about 950-1000W, meening a 850W PSU will die quickly, running that system.

never go under your system watt. allways go over your system watt

I have to ask about that soundcard, because Im a sucker for in game sound. Assuming you're running WIN 7 64. what games are you seeing use that sound card to the fullest? (assuming you're using in game sound)

[Hottage]

My desktop is in storage at the moment, and it's spec is pretty laughable since they invented the newer 4Ghz+ processors.

Intel Quad Core i5 @ 3.06Ghz with HT (8 Theads)
6Gb DDR3-1033 Triple Channel
750Gb 7200RPM HD (can't afford an SSD)
GeForce 295GTX
Realtek HD audio
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
22inch HD monitor

My laptop which I currently use:
Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.53Ghz (2 Threads)
4Gb DDR3
320Gb 7200Gb HDD
Nvidia GeForce Mobile 9800GTS
Realtek HD audio.
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
17inch HD Monitor

God I miss my desktop

I've used this card with Audiosurf, WoW, Crysis 2 , Portal 2 and several other games, it's rather amazing, sometimes it can be a bit annoying, if im sitting in org, i can hear all the critters moving around, each fire that i pass gets it's own channel as well, it's cool at first, but after a few minutes i go on a crittercide rampage

First ever computer i put together myself =)

i5 2500k 4.3GHz
MSI gtx 570 twin frozr
2x4gb corsair vengeance
Corsair tx650w
Coolermaster Hyper 212
NZXT Phantom

[Carpalol]

This was my first ever computer build, made it all by myself about 2 weeks ago and haven't encountered any problems thus far.

Case - CoolerMaster HAF 942 Full tower
Motherboard - Asus Sabertooth p67
PSU - Corsair 750W (modular, real godsend for a first build)
CPU - Intel i5-2500k (3.4 GHz, don't want to overclock, using the intel-supplied cooler)
GPU - GTX 560 Ti (overclocked from 822/1645 MHz to 950/1900 MHz)
RAM - G.Skills Ripjaw 8GB 1866 MHz
HDD - Seagate 500 GB (Didn't plan on downloading a ton of stuff, just games. Still have a laptop for movies/music)

Peripherals
Asus HD HDMI 23" Monitor
Logitech G15 Keyboard
Logitech G500 Mouse
Sound Blaster Arena Headset

I'm quite happy with it, I went from running WoW on all low settings at ~5-20 fps in raids to ultra everything at a constant 60 (everything's pretty now! I never knew!)
If i get some more disposable income I can put towards this, I'd probably get another 560 Ti for SLI, a new PSU (1 kW maybe?) and another HDD (I don't trust SSD's, I've read too many reviews saying they crash after a few weeks or even days)

Also, Cyanotical that thing is freaking beautiful. Props.

Just as many reviews of HDD's dying after a few weeks or even days :P In fact lol.. HDD's have more of a chance of dying before an SSD does because of moving parts.

Title obviously needs to become "Post a PIC of your gaming setup with specs!"

Totally true, but HDD's are less expensive XD

I'd post pics but sadly, not enough posts yet.

If you have the cash for a 590, why not get an SSD instead of a Raptor? Pro setup anyways, but still, just wondering.

My thoughts exactly. Once you go SSD, you'll never want to go back. Just make sure if you can get a warranty with it that you opt for it. Just for a little peace of mind...

And why in the world would you buy a 560ti for Physx? An older card like a 260 will run MAX physx more than fine whatsoever. Also, if you say that you bought the 560ti before you knew the 590 was coming out, you were sadly misinformed and/or too much cash to spend.

If you have alot of cash to spend, you should have bought an SSD...

Since you have so much money you should ditch that shitty liquid cooling system
