Longest thread challenge :D

Nice processors LBowen. Are you planning to buy the dual cpu evga motherboard or are you making two separate systems?

Just want to show off my new rig (only case and cooler is new, my dad gave me his old 6850 gpu because he upgraded his gpu). Had to use a pull set up with my h100 coolers because i couldn't mount the fans inside for a push configuration 

Specs-

CPU- AMD FX-8120

Motherboard- gigabyte 990fxa-ud3

GPU - sapphire toxic 6850 and gigabyte 6850

Case- xclio 787 touch

Ram - G skill 1.25v sniper ram 2x4gb

PSU- 600w corsair psu

Boot drives- 2x60gb corsair force 3 ssds in raid 0

storage drive- 1.5tb western digital drive 

Looks real good!! Can you post a pic of it in the dark with the LEDs on too? I love pretty shiny things :P lol

LBowen:

Well this is intriguing.

Just checked out the Dual CPU Motherboard from EVGA.  That is just beyond crazy so probably just going to make one gaming rig and one overpowered HTPC.

I was able to get two because my coworker didn't have enough cash to get the summer deal.  He said I could use my card to order it in exchange for a sandwich

Score!  Hope it was a great sandwich!   I know I'm going to hell because I covet like crazy every time I see someone get an Inter Retail Edge offer.  Happy buildin'!

Finally received the part for my computer and now i have all six side fans up and running. My computer has a total of ....um....one minute need to count them..... thirteen case fans.

Oh, is that all?  Which fans?

How about nine 120mm fans on the side panel?

I also have room for fans behind the motherboard tray, but i think i have plenty of fans for now.

What i love is the easy touch fan controller on the front. Allows me to choose between 1100, 1500, and 2100 rpm with a simple  touch. Also allows me to mute, turn off the led lights, or turn off the fans.

It looks like a killer setup. If it overheats, it will be due to you starting a bonfire in it or something.

The only thing I would change is the graphics card.

really nice setup

While anticipating an upcoming winning announcement .....

Some might want to take a break from the the F5 key and play a bit of a classic

That was fun. I haven't played that in a long time.

Home sick today, bad stomach virus or food poisoning.

yeah me too :) Could be interesting to see who bumps the pinball table while playing.

Come to think of it ...there might have been some interesting pinball <bump> moves in the Bad Santa movie ...

but not to sure if they would be apropo here

Hope that you feel better soon. Had a case of food poisoning a long time ago and had to divorce her,...........

Ouch! Was it on purpose or was she just a terrible cook. Has been better so far, drinking tons of fluids and trying to eat. Hopefully by tomorrow it'll be a really bad memory.

She was a really crappy cook. She made Chili for me and some invited guests and everyone who ate it ended up in the emergency room that night.

It wasn't funny at the time, but it is now.

This really wasn't the reason that I divorced her, but I'm a heck of a lot better cook than she'll ever be.

She buys Chinese take out food for her Christmas dinner every year.

Sure hope you are feeling a bit better today.

Contemplating selling my 7770 graphics card, A6 APU, and I7 3930K since they are just sitting there not being used.  Work and school back in full swing so extra cash would be nice.

Be sure you get what you need outta them and don't let anyone low ball you.  

Any LAN or Computer shows up there in your neck of AZ?  

Anyone have anything to say about the Asus Transformer? Been eyeing it for awhile but don't know if it's worth it. :)
