Two 4870's. The top card that you can barely see is the the RAID controller. Ya I got rid of the 8800GT's & 780i a while back, and I've never looked back. The 4870's cream the 8800GT's in everything I play. Even when I only had one 4870, I found it smoother.

wow! neato!

Customgamer1 · Jan 18, 2009, 02:53 AM

Nice job Lowfat looks very nice.

That has to be fast as hell!!!

**Mousey** · Jan 19, 2009, 09:30 PM

Found a spare UV Cathode that surprisingly still worked. Improvised a mounting system (AKA Wrapped a crap load of tape round it lol) and put it up in my case

The UV Reactive IDE Cable my mate gave me looks damned slick now with the extra black light

Moar storage, i haz it. 250GB Western Digital Caviar 16mb Cache drive, Seriously needed the extra space so it was a godsend

i love these glow in the dark condoms

There are some really nice rigs & setups in this thread, keep them coming!

LilRazor · Jan 23, 2009, 01:47 PM

=D i just added one small fan for the hot air comming out from my 8800GT

Mac Daddy · Jan 24, 2009, 10:28 PM

Well now that my review is done I get to play with my new toy

I also am running another mobo I was sent that experienced damage being shipped a while ago and think I got it fixed and running fine. I brought my OCZ RAM cooler out of storage to cool the 2G OCZ Gold PC3-10666 DDR3 RAM (all I can afford right now).

So running this for a while using Windows 7 beta (64 bit), Vista Ultimate X64 and XP SP3 (32 bit) and playing with it

(I also added a 120mm fan (ingoing) to the top chamber to cool the RAM and chipset)

Mac Daddy · Jan 24, 2009, 10:44 PM

You can still see the coolant temp through the side panel of the Tempest

procupine14 · Jan 27, 2009, 09:26 PM

looking really nice. Those Domino coolers have a really clean setup to them

Thanks and I do have some cable management left to do on that one

The Domino is very easy to install and works great I would recommend it to anyone !!

Yup, and I won't be going back either. Too much hassle for me. And I am not near as calm and patient as I was a few years ago. My last WC project ended me throwing a case that I spent $500+ on in the closet and selling all my WC because of the anger and frustration it caused me.

Neshi · Jan 31, 2009, 09:10 AM

Lowfat, is that a case where it is meant to have the motherboard "upsidedown" or did you just mount it that way?

Judas · Jan 31, 2009, 09:20 AM

i still miss the voodoo 2's and mineral oil cooling setup... the utlimate liquid cooling..

told ya, liquid cooling, just isn't worth it imo....

Syndicate2083 · Jan 31, 2009, 04:20 PM

Some cruddy pics of my setup as it is at the moment

The dates are obviously incorrect :P

It is meant to be that way. I don't mod cases anymor either. It is just as tiresome

You didn't have to deal with the smell and how my entire room was coated in a layer of grease. Almost like the floors at burger king. It was insanely nasty.

neocongirl · Feb 4, 2009, 07:00 PM

sorry for the lousy low quality pic

Syndicate2083 · Feb 5, 2009, 06:18 AM

neocongirl · Feb 5, 2009, 06:40 AM

Mac Daddy · Feb 5, 2009, 01:30 PM

LOL on squishy

I am assuming the system in your system specs is in the box on the right .. whats in the box on the left of the monitor?

neocongirl · Feb 5, 2009, 11:57 PM

The box on the left is about to become an HTPC for the bedroom. I just need to add a larger HD.

Right now its a Dell Dimension C521 (space saver case) w\

-Athlon X2 5200+
-ATi 4550 512MB w\HDMI out
-2.5GB RAM
