Hello all!
I'm putting together a new system, and performing some minor modifications. The mods may not be worth a worklog. However, I figured if I started a worklog I will be held accountable for actually finishing the project and such. I'm also hoping it ends up looking good enough to be worthy of a work log by the end.
I'm calling this project MDPC WannaBe (Million Dollar PC WannaBe) because, though I won't come even close to the caliber of the builds on the MDPC website, I'm using this build to try.
With this build I'm also doing something I've never done before... building an Intel system. I've always built with AMD for money reasons. However, now that I have a steady income, and my wife's blessing (yay!) I will be building an Intel system. I still did not go all out like I wanted, but I believe it is still a good build.
Specs:
-Intel Core i7 920
-ASUS P6T Motherboard
-2x EVGA GTX285s
-3x 2Gig Sticks Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600 8-8-8-24
-Western Digital Black 500 Gig Hard Drive
-Silverstone ST1000 PSU (Corsair HX1000 shown in pics, but ST1000 should be easier to sleeve)
-Lian Li PC-V1000Z
-Thermalright Black 120 Rev. C
Here are some pictures. They are mostly random as I didn't expect to be posting a worklog.
