2 500 gig wd hard drive
with liquid cooling running to the 750 and 1 of the 500 gig hard drives
XFX Black Edition 750w psu


all in a Thermaltake Armor+ Liquid Cooled Case

These photos are of when I first built it 6 months ago.... since the photos I have changed a few things.... I cut a small hole in the case and rerouted the wiring the the other side of the case to hide it... and I freed up a bay drive and put the fan controller in the front. added a another flow meter inside. eh.... and for now thats about it... I plan on ordering clear hose with uv blue anti kink coils along with non-conductive liquid and redoing everything (part of the reason I havent put the koolance vga water block on yet).......

Why is everyone thinking that their AMD:cry: systems are any good anyway. Everyone knows thats its intel or bust. So Smurf that puts me in for the lead, mongo in for his sli, you in third for for being prettier than bailions, and Asain in 5th for his muscle machine computer.:-D

[anthonyds5]

Handi, I say Asian is in the League because.. He has the best parts a CPU needs.

[Mongoloid]

Intel blows i always stuck wit AMD after it and i will always use it
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

well so far I have had better luck out of amd than I ever thought about having with intel, so you can have intel.... especially when it comes to the price... intel puts out shit and puts a price tag on it like its made of fucking gold! so I will take my amd that will do better than your intel.... OH and by the way, me and mongo have pretty much the same processor I think and if you want to check it out... that specific processor holds the world record if I am not mistaken for the highest overclock at 8.3 ghz may have been a higher.... could have changed now but if it has it wasnt done by intel. so handi, just go ahead and tuck that tower back under your desk and try to hide it =P


sorry.... just had shit luck out of intel and I choose not to pay their high priced product

[Mongoloid]

i shit on intel i agree wit smurf bout them

[handi-tard]

So its been over a month, and who won the custom pc contest?

[SmurfSniper]

Im still wondering if anyone other than me you and balion are going to post pics O_o

but yea I was wondering this myself

[anthonyds5]

i would be out beat so bad o_o

[Bailion]

Ok, sorry I havent been on, Works Killing me. But After reading through im going to have to give it to Smurf. First because he did provide pics, and I am an AMD man all the way. If it was on pure creativity it would have gone to Asian. So how do u want that? sent to you or donated? might take a week my card expired today So I have to wait for my new one to put on my account.

[SmurfSniper]

just donate it to the community :)
