my Core i7 review

[ComputerHelper]

hey well I just got done building a i7 gaming for a friend.

The build:
Core i7 Extreme 3.2GHz
ASUS Rampage II Extreme
12GB DDR3 1800
64GB SSD -For OS only
300GB VelociRaptor - For games
2x Seagate 1.5TB HDDs
Custom Painted CoolerMaster HAF - All black
2x Corsair 1000watt PSU
3x ASUS GTX 280s

Vista 64bit installed in 8 min (Vista Ultimate)
Over clocked CPU to 4.8GHz on water cooling

I don't want to give this to him -.-

[realchamp]

Nah, give it to me instead .

Nice specs btw.

[Hazz]

Needs more.

Thats siiiiiiick.

I love this, he came to get it about 20 min ago, :-( I almost cried.

I was suppressed how well the CPU over clocked, i got it to 5GHz but decided to lower it to 4.8GHz because the was a big temp difference (about a 8'C)

Also I lightly sanded the face of the CPU (the metal part) and the bottom of the water block, this lowered the temps about 5'C (this is known to us modders as lapping)

BTW cooling wise this pc has lots of it.

The stock fans are 230mm (one in side, front, top)

Kept the one in the side, but I mounted the radiator on top, the radiator is Powder Coat Black like the rest of the case, and has 2 120mm

In the front there is one DVD Burner, and the rest was modded with red powder coated HEX modders mesh, and has 5 120mm fans.

On the back there are 1 120mm and the 2 120 mm power supply fans pulling air out, + the 230 on the side and the 2 120mm’s on the top with the water cooling system

also the whole project set him back about 6 grand.

I would love to make you one ( :-D ) If you'd be willing to pay for it

Thanks I spent alot of hard work on this sucker. I orderd on Friday and called my retailer (newegg) and I asked them if I drove could I pick up the parts from your where house? The guy said in a rush eh? then looked at my $5,200 order and siad come right down.

My friend had the case for about 2 weeks now, we did the mods then sent it to a paint shop. It came out so nice. I was not allowed to leak any pictures of it, something about LAN party contest or something..

o_O, I think it's gotta be exspensive with the transport to Europa It's gotta be cheaper to buy it here .

[ComputerHelper]

I'll send it in a bottle

[Hazz]

I'll take 5.

[ComputerHelper]

Hazz, just so you know it will take some time, the cases take 2 months to do EACH

Includes Massive Modding time, Painting, Wet sanding, waiting 1 month for paint to fully harden, then the parts can start to go in.

Finishing Price of the Case after, Paint, and supplies is $478
(Thats exact, I added all the invoices for you :-D)
