Sexy computer builds

[hashton]

These are 2 computers I built back when I worked for ARSmarthomes (a custom computer shop).
Since we where all talking about computers in game, I decided to upload them so yeah. The big one with the 3 cards is a EVGA Sr-2 with 2 i7 Xeons over clocked to 4.0 each, so that 8 GHZ total, liquid nitrogen cooled well this pic shows fan cooled but we ended up adding liquid nitrogen to it :D, 3 EVGA GTX-580s and some fancy OCing ram GT-x Dominator ram. The 2nd one with the single card i forget what bored it is tbh some FTW EVGA im sure, has 1 GTX-470 or 460 maybe idk, and a i7 xeon toped off with water cooling.

If anyone can guess how much it cost to build the 2nd computer or at least come close to it ill give them $2500 IG cash

I'm guessing around 5-6k (Depending on how old the cards were at the time)

Well that was when the 580s just came out well like a few mouths after anyways in that pic before we added the 4th 580 and the liquid nitrogen to the CPUs and the 12 gb of gt-x ram yeah it was about that so good job. But after all the extra stuff we added onto it, it cost us about 8500 total.

Looks quite sexy ;D Here is some pics of my build. This is a old picture so i'm using the stock HSF, and the picture quality is quite bad. The case is the Corsair Carbide 500r White.

I'm lazy, so here's an album link - https/picasaweb.google.com/1021728058 ... directlink

And one picture - clicky for bigger


This was taken before the H80 was swapped for a H100 and also before the SSD was installed (creatively zip-tied to the bottom of the case - photos of both of these can be found in the album link)

Skandian, you could of done a better job on cable management and what's the point of using a 875w psu for a single gpu?

 

[Skandian]

I build with future upgrades in mind. Ie. bought a better powersupply when I first bought the 570 so I wouldn't have to buy a better powersupply when I upgraded my system further. Makes sense to me.
