    [Side project] minBeast

    Since I'm in limbo waiting for my custom case to be manufactured by Mountain Mods, I figured I'd update my previous water cooled build (Beast 2.8). There is a build thread under the same name if you'd care to see what went into Beast 2.8. Short and sweet, that system consisted of an Intel i7 -...

    The BEAST

    Hey all. I hope you have enjoyed reading (or just viewing) my 'Beast' work log builds. I know I enjoyed making them. If you were waiting for a finish on the 'Heavy Beast' worklog, forget it. I became disenchanted with that case as soon as I finished reading The1stCAV's "Frank n Stein PC"...

    evga 690 backplates?

    Where the hell are these things. I have been searching the web and nothing! WTF! Anyone have an idea why? I need one now. I purchased a 690 hydrocopper from evga, and they have the gall to charge me $1200 for a vid card with no backplate. What gives?

    Project: Heavy Beast

    Well, It's that time again. The itch has struck. Time to scratch. For those that have been following some of my other builds, Beast III is on permanent hold. Many of the ideas for that build are no longer pertinent. So I thought a completely new build was in order. The pics will be brief with...

    Project: Beast 2.8

    Hello avid computer users, gamers’, and system modders and builders. I’m back with another work log. Don’t fret, Beast III isn’t dead. I’ll actually be using some of it for this build. This build will be an update to Beast 2.75; the system I’m currently...

    Fry's has SKU for GTX 260 and 280

    Stopped by Fry's Electronics today. They had SKU's for the 280 and 260. The price for the 260 was $499 and the 280 was $599 (might have been $699, can't remember). I forgot to ask about the release date. More than likely, it'll be the 17th. Let the waiting begin. NOT!

    If your looking for the WD Raptor 150 X, the blue and yellow guys (BB) have them on sale for $159.99 . I don't know how much longer this sale is supposed to last, but get them while you can. This is even the retail version!

    Project: Beast 2.5

    I was in Barnes and Noble (a book store) and was scanning the computer mags and happened upon one that had a 'Crysis' preview. I read the article and I knew at that very moment I couldn't wait for Beast III to be finished. This build will be the interlude. No, I haven't given up on Beast III...

    Laing DDC pump

    Dear enthusiasts, I'm sure this has been asked (I'm lazy, and I don't want to have to look), but would running two Laing DDC 12 volt pumps in series be much of a benefit over one? The reason I ask is I'm going to use these pumps for my Konvect-O-Matic Ultra radiators (see 'Project: Beast...

    SATA extension cable

    Has anyone seen a SATA extension cable? What I mean is female on one end and male on the other. The reason I'm looking for one is I want to use the secure cable that fits into Western Digital 'Raptor' drives (and caviars too), but that cable is only about 20" long. I need more length! Help...

    Project: Beast III

    I have gotten the itch again! It's time to build another system. Before I get into the details, I thought a little history was in order. This is the first time I have posted a build on any site so please bear with me on the symantics. The very first system I built from the ground up was...
