I am, hesitantly, going to part with my baby. I am going back to school this January and need to start saving up for down payments, tuition, fees and a tablet PC. I built this machine over a span of about 3 weeks ensuring that everything was perfect, stable and completely rock solid. I use this machine almost daily now for playing FarCry2 - completely maxed at 1920x1200.

I am not really interested in parting it yet and want to see the offers I get before doing so. I am an honest and open trader (48-0-0 on heat http://heatware.com/eval.php?id=30009 and 357 - 100% positive on ebay - http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=jeffsteiner&ftab=AllFeedback) and expect the same.

The machine contains the following:
** Core i7 - 920. This is a good processor - hit 4.2 on air with a single graphics card, but triple SLI limits this proc to 3.8 stable. Booted at 4 - but would randomly reboot windows.

** EVGA Triple SLI motherboard - 132-BL-E758-A1. Simply the best available when I built my system.

** Swiftech Apex Ultima but I added an additional 120MM fan on the backplane above the motherboard shield.

** 3Gb of Corsair 1600 MHZ memory. 3x 1Gb.

** 3 GTX 260s. This are running in 3x SLI mode daily. They are different clock speed / variants but I have had 0 issues with them. AFAIK, they all run at default clock speeds and hum along very well.

** 3x WD640s. These are VERY fast platter based hard drives, and were the perfect blend for me between raptors and large TB sized HDDs.

** Corsair HX1000W Power Supply. Never run out of juice with this thing. Corsair PSUs are some of the best rated and well respected PSUs on the market today.

** CoolerMaster Cosmos 1000. This is a huge case and gives side access to 6 HDDs on the bottom front.

I will install, upon request, windows as a test (No key install), to make sure all is working when you receive it.

Originally this setup was ~3K to get together for everything + shipping. Today's prices would leave it more like 2400 without shipping.

I am asking 1700 plus actual shipping. I can get it boxed up and give weight and dimensions. Can also talk about if you want me to drain the water, but there is not THAT much more weight added with the water inside but, even aluminum, it is a heavy rig. I would prefer a local pickup and live in the Seattle area.

















Wiring Job - Looks bad - but it all makes sense in it - and there are virtually no wires on the other side of the case.



Please do me the favor of bumping if you look and certainly if you send me a PM.

i member buying a gayway in 96 for 3 grand ppro 200 3.8 gb hd stb 8meg vid
wow nice price
 
I remember my dad buying a Packard Bell with a p166, 8 megs of RAM and a 1 gig hard drive for over 3000 dollars from Sears. Now look what you can get for only 1700... Bump!
 
I hear you about those old rigs.

Thanks for the bumps - keep them coming.
 
Here's another one drooling, that also has 3 kids a mortgage, couple of car payments, and a wife who is already on her 3rd wedding ring in less than 7 years of marriage, so I can't afford it bump for one sexy rig.

Oh, and my old 939 system sitting in my daughters room being used to watch TV and movies on cost me $2900 back in '06...lol.
 
DAMN!!!

If I had not just built my own Tri-SLI rig, I would be all over this. I could use another dedicated folding rig and since it is WC'd, all the better.
