Show Us Your Rig [2]

[Kipper]

Nice rig it looks good out of the case

Thanks, but I have more boards to review so the bench needs to be cleared before to much longer. On this bench I only have a 240 Rad but in the case I have a sweet 320 setup just for the processor then I can really let the 980Extreme run with the big dogs.

Kipper,
That is one clean set up on that test bench. I can see now after several builds how nice a test bench would be to test the components and especially the water blocks before installation into a case. That aside the look of this bench is very nice with the acrylic plates and push buttons. Then moving into the SLI set up, mobo and Vengence ram all set up to produce some killer performance.....great job !

The bench is nice if you need to leave the rig setup where you can easily change out cards, coolers, memory etc....

When I am building a system for someone I just put the MB on the MB Box, hook up the PSU, mount the cpu, add the memory, attach the necessary data cables and fire it up, install the OS and burn it in. Once I am happy with the configuration then it is a simple task to mount everything in the case.

Nice bench, and good test/burn in process.

Ah, that would definitely explain it. By the way Kip, on your RoG profile, in your system spces it say 'i5 2600k' rather than 'i7 2600k'.

Got a ROG myself now... looked stable from the moment I unpacked it They make some nice stuff

That they do. They're the best of the best IMO so I suppose they have to.

Nice setup and desk ash30000 also that is one mighty fine test rig Kipper.

Nice catch.

I have stopped updating my profile for the most part. I seem to have at least 4 high end systems up and running at the same time with a component or two on each system that I am testing for reviews.

My office (computer lab) is constantly 10-15° warmer than the rest of the house.

I'm still waiting for mine to come in the mail but it's in my description
Cost me $325 + shipping, and is going into My Home Theater (the crappier one in my bedroom, though I might attach it to the 1080p 51" tv in the living room)

optical drive and remote are part of my next purchase.

Well, my baby may not be much closer to all your might beasts... But I'm getting there slowly.

My brother overseas bought me a RAM kit for my birthday in July, and it finally arrived! I really hate our local postal service though, it was sent to the wrong post office, and it's actually been here since August 20th.....

I would've loved the 4GB kit, but I didn't pay for it, so who am I to complain? It's still Dominator!

Depending on how much faster this is compared to my current XMS2-DHX kit, I may end up running these at 800MHz (840MHz with my minuscule OC) and end up with 4GB total... But I'll have to run some tests to see first.

I'll say one thing though..... These are some seriously sexy RAM modules, these pictures just don't do them justice.
