Anyone here running an X5650 on an EVGA X58-SLI board? Currently running an i7 920 @ 3.8Ghz.

Is this kind of build still worth it? Been wanting to build a 4P rig and I'm not looking to spend a ton of money doing one at this time.

The AWE64 Gold is for some retro wavetable synth action.

Made some changes to the rig I posted a few months ago. The Obsidian I was running had clearance issues so I swapped it out for a classic Voodoo2 SLI setup, also swapped out my WinFast A380 Ultra for a reference FX5950 Ultra because the air intake on that card is directly in the air stream from...

EVGA GTX 570 Doubleshot in the main rig.

Oh yeah. TA Escalation is insanely awesome. Especially naval combat.

Forget the router. I see Total Annihilation there!

I've got a Quantum3D Obsidian2 SBi running in a retro rig I built for oldskool gaming. Also, P3 Xeons. :D

Mmmmmmmmmmm Slot-2 Xeon retro-rig..... Modified a set of brackets from a quad Slot-2 Xeon server to fit an Asus XG-DLS because none came with the board when I bought the thing off ebay. Wanted to ensure cooling on the Xeons, mounted a pair of fans using PCI slot covers to the hard drive cages...

Very kewl. :D SR3 is probably one of my favorite games to come out in the last few years. Heh, just noticed I was quoting the wrong person about the Voodoo5 issue. Facepalm.

You could tabletop the board and run it outside a case to test the card.

Got another rig to test the Voodoo5 in?

Reseat it? Sometimes they get worked loose from the slot and you might not notice.

Heh, only thing bigger is the AAlchemy 8132. I'd like to get my hands on one of those one day lol. Of course this thing is so beastly it needs its own dedicated power supply to run.

Time to give this thread another bump. In the process of rebuilding this Xeon rig on an Asus XG-DLS board. This thing needs a pair of 900/2MB Xeons and it'll be pretty much complete. Maybe a Sound Blaster AWE32 and a suitable wavetable board later on... Antec Earthwatts 380W Asus XG-DLS (440GX)...
