Show Us Your Rig [8]

Nice build Hackmaster.

Thanks it was worth every penny!

Yes Steve I have ordered all the hardware today.

I have a copy of Windows 7 Pro I bought about a year ago so that will be what I'm installing.

When they get W-10 working somewhat like I want I will install it on a Intel 730 ssd using the hot swap bays.
The two Intel M.2 will be Raid "0" using the bios with Windows 7 Pro. I haven't figured out what I'm going to do with thunderbolt yet. It could be use for backup storage to another Intel 730 ssd because it is super fast. I really don't need faster because the way I do backup now, ssd to ssd sata 3.0 hot swap takes less than 6 minutes now.
I will be using my keyboard (Das 4 Professional) and my mouse (Logitech M705) from my old X58 system.
I will also be using the speaker from the X58 system ( Sound system KLipsch-THX).

Then I'm going to move the video card from my X58 system and put the old one back in. (EVGA GTX-960-SC 4 gigs_). Then put the GTX-960 into the system in my specs and run it air cooled. Running Heaven 4.0 benchmarks on the GTX-960 it ran cool at high of 62C on the old X58 system. The 11 fans in the Phanteks Enthoo Primo case should help it with the cooling.

I will be busy for some time doing all this because at the present time I can't stand long.

I was reading what you were going to do and thought what is he going to do next year? LOL. It will take some time to do all of that, especially with you not being very mobile. Excellent hardware choices. That should be a great rig. Congratulations.

 

[Layback Bear]

Thank you Steve.

[Lady Fitzgerald]

You are going to document every step of the construction, right, Jack?

 

[Layback Bear]

I will try.

Jack

 

[Lady Fitzgerald]

Thanks, Jack. Just don't push yourself too hard. It looks like you have a dream rig in the works!

Hi,
Never posted a picture of the new gpu in town
Got an open box for 629. 1080 classified from microcenter

Looking good Mike.

 

[essenbe]

I can't wait to see Layback Bear's new rig. I know what kind of work he does. I'll bet it will be a great looking rig. His last build was as good as it gets.

 

[Layback Bear]

Thank you very much Steve for the pat on the back.

I just spent a little over 5 hours making just one tube for my water cooling system. I got two more to go. It does take a lot of time, because I must have the tubing level and plum. I also like the tubing installed in a fashion that it doesn't get in the way of removing the video card, ram modules and harness connections.

When I'm done I will take some pictures.

I going to stop on my build until tomorrow and watch a movie or two. Drink a little coffee and a little Jack.

Thanks again Steve for the advice on the PCI-e M.2 installation.

[Mellon Head]

[SCANNERMAN777]

I gotta say, that IS SWEET!

 

[Layback Bear]

I have the tower leaning against the wall at about a 30 deg angle.

I will try later for better pictures.

*** I still haven't figured out how to raid (0) two M.2 and install Windows 7.***

Hi,
What a relief it was a planned leaning
Thought the beast was just getting ready for liftoff :roflmao:

 

[Lady Fitzgerald]

I'm impressed by your plumbing and cable management! Well done!

 

[essenbe]

Great job Jack. Very well done, as usual. You always do great work, this one looks excellent.
