I really don't care about looks when it comes to my setups, I want the most functional thing I can find. You may now throw up in your mouth! LOL! :D

Temps are rediculous! 33*C Idle, 43*C Load on CPU @ 3.0GHz with 8800GTX's at 49*C IDLE, 55*C FULL LOAD while gaming SLI on the 30" at max res! woot!!

It's not pretty, but it's my hand built UberMicro with watercooling thanks to Petra and all of you at the [H]!!!

The rest of my setup:

Quad MacPro (my baby!) pushing 2TB of storage, X1900XT, 3Gigs Ram, etc. etc. Cinema Display, Klipsch ProMedias, etc. =) MacBook Pro on top.

LOL you're too kind. Those blue box-frames holding the radiator up are from an old fiberglass ladder I didn't need anymore. The brown peice holding them together is from a Russian Ammo crate that held rounds for my Dragonov SVD Sniper Rifle LOL!

Homemade is the best kind. ;)

I especially like the upside-down CD-R/DVD-R case (with discs inside!) holding up the res. ^^;

kinda off topic, but exactly what the hell are you doing with a Dragunov anyways :confused:
 
30" Apple Cinema Display! ^_^

They're the smallest monitors/TV's in my house.
 
no really, the closest gun store I'm aware of is somewhere in Ontario.

on topic: How did you get the DD fillport into the XSPC res? (what tap did you use?)
 
I believe it was just a 1/2 in. tap. It was a pain in the butt too, it kept rotating in the vice grip until I clamped it down flat.
 
I looooove your cinema display :D

I sold my Dual G5 in favour of something with a bit more disk space... I'm currently setting my new storage tower up for at least 5 500gb disks... Not including the Raid 0 250gb System drives.

Are you at your limit for storage? (4x 500s?)

OT: I want a sniper rifle...
 
Very nice toys and hardware, however, your office leaves a lot to be desired :(


Also, why do you have legs written on your schedule for Wed, Chest written for Fri? :confused:

Oh and since you mentioned rifles... now you are obligated to include pics!!! :D
 
Haha Ockie!

That "office" room looks HORRIBLE. The house has not been reonvated in 27 years, and I started in the living room and I'm working my way back toward the bedrooms. I'll put a pic of my living room up as proof that I'm renovating. I'm the kind of guy that waits to do things right, so hardwood floors and new sheetrock walls are going up, along with upgraded wiring for electrical.


That flooring is SHAG carpet! :eek: Yeah...it's bad.

Also, I was helping a friend track his workout programs, since thats what I do for a living. So I was using that whiteboard to write some example plans for him.
 
I wouldn't say your cooling is ugly, just organised chaos!

So you're a personal torturer, er I mean trainer? Split Routine FTW!

What is with the wood panelling in so many pictures I see in Hocp? Rip it off!

PS. get your gun out for the lads! Here in the UK the only guns we see are when the armed police are chasing 'homebred' terrorists, or in the movies. Thankfully.

Good luck on the renovation, must be hard to keep away from such a nice setup!
 
As requested, here are pics of some of my rifle collection! Each one has been refurbished by my dad and I.

Mysterae - You might like this, being from the UK and all! Enfield Rifles are a passion of mine, I have one of every Enfield rifle ever produced, from every manufacturer! :D

Modern rifles: M1-D, M1-C Marine Corps. Sniper (est. value about $10,000), Dragonov, Carbines, Highly Modified "Spacegun" for target shooting (floating barrel, AR-upper), handmade trigger group.....

The SVD is the rifle with the green strap.

This is about 1/3 of my collection.
 
Nice TV and Guns; wish you were my neighbor.

Edit: forgot, the cars too!

And a teacher at 26?; you're on the fast track man.
 
I'm a former police officer too, switched careers and never looked back.

Starting my Graduate degree soon, combined Masters/Ph.D. in Exercise Physiology. :cool:
 
Hey Appayipyap! Nice rig, monitors, TV, etc. Whaddya need two 30 inchers for??? lol

I'll post my setup this weeked if I don't accidently flood it during setup. =)
 
Appa, man, you make me jealous! :D

I especially love your living room setup. I have the same TV (I think) and just moved into my first house, so you gave me some great decoration/setup ideas.

What speakers are those on the sides of the TV? (Are those speakers? :eek: )
 
Congrats man!! =)

Those are Martin Logan Speakers. I have a full Martin Logan setup. Vignette center channel and rears, Clarity front speakers, and the Abyss subwoofer. Powere by a Yamaha RX-V2700 amp.

It ROCKS!! I used to install and sell VERY high end audio/video equipment. It's been a dream of mine to have this setup.

Thats nothing! We've been offered $130,000 on the spot at car shows for it. This car is extremely rare and well documented. The cars you see going for 75k are the 400hp cars, the 427, 435hp cars with 6-pack carbs, matching numbers with tank stickers, etc. are closer to $150,000 right now. :D

I'm going to unload it at Corvette Carlisle this year, in PA in the spring. 08' Viper here I come!!!
