pimpom · 11-11-2004, 12:54 PM

Did the Deskjet come bolted onto the cabinet ?
Seriously, nice machine.

perk_bud · 11-11-2004, 03:29 PM

when u have spent so much u should spent more on decals too.
by the way how did the whole thing cost u.

bottle · 11-11-2004, 05:41 PM

is that the best your 2.6c could do ? i would have thot the c series processors would oc higher on air...

funkymonkey · 11-11-2004, 06:01 PM

no it can do 3.4Ghz. Everything stable at 3.4Ghz except Maya. Maya dosent like overclocked processors much. So i have to keep it at 3.25Ghz.
Well the only rather expensive part in the system is the graphic card which is brand new one. Everything else is 10 month old. There are no case decals available easily. The option is to get the car decals and cut it according to our need. I did not went into looks, i cut the side window basically for the side fan which blows air on the graphic card to keep it nice and cool. And my little cousine stuck those MONSTER words on my case after seeing it and i kept them

U mean the cooling system is cool? Of course! It has to be!

Goddam I don't know why I'm posting such ****. Sorry all!

Nice system again. Loved the OC part.

P.S: How much did u spend on it?

funkymonkey · 13-11-2004, 08:38 AM

in all including craphic card around 72K was spent on this PC. Its not new, the only new thing is graphic card. Rest PC will be 1 year old in Jan.
So at that time this was a high end config. I had 9800XT in here before, sold that for 25K in MAY, then painfully spent days with my backup GF3 ti200 card until last month i got 6800GT.
I am upgrading to A64 3500+ system next months and also getting 19" monitor.
Some parts used are very old, like Watercooling system is now 2 years old, My sound card is 3 years old( sblive 5.1), speakers are 2 years old.
I keep upgrading parts, i sell old parts on baazee and get myself new one. In the end I have more than deascent config all the time and in the end on 5 year cycle i end up spending less than the cost of 2 new PCs and i enjoy high end config for all 5 years

By the way i have kept count. Since 1996 when i got my first PC I have gone through 15 processors, 10 motherboards, 9 Hard Disks, 2 sound cards, 10 graphic cards, just 2 monitors, 5 cabinets, 2 speakers

Gr8 Looking PC . must have gr8 time impressing the girls with it

got a couple of questions .

- don't the optical drives get heated as they are placed so close together with no air flow ?
- is that ur graphics card thats soooooooooo huge , just above ur pci slots
- u said u cut out the side panel to fix a fan . what is the transperant material u have placed there , plastic or glass
- i see at the bottom what looks like 1 ordinary intake fan and one with led , does keeping 1 fan behind the other help improve circulation .
- write an article abt how u got ur rig up and running with more details on ur components and costs , along with piks and send to digit so that they can publish in dec issue . will really help a lot of ppl

funkymonkey · 13-11-2004, 11:10 AM

This pic below will answer most of your questions

The window I cut is nnow fitted with Plexiglass. And optical drives are not isolated, airflow is there, see the pic below. the partition you see is not actiually partition, there is big whole in middle for air circulation.
Took me 2 months to find all the components I wanted but now i am aware of all the sources where to get this stuff

Unfortunately I cannot write about it now and anyway Dec issue will almost be 80% complete by now. I have my exams comming, starting from 17th so I must study now.
I have written whole thread about this on guru3d.com forums, along with lots of articles that I have written there.
I will find and post the link of it.

klinux · 19-11-2004, 08:42 PM

1 q : the fan u got attached to the side panel of ur cabinet . is that an intake fan or does it blow air out . my m/b temp has been increasing lately . would keeping an intake fan on the side panel , which blows air directly onto m/b cool it off or vice versa ??

netcracker · 19-11-2004, 11:53 PM

Realy a MONSTER PC!!!!

funkymonkey · 20-11-2004, 03:34 PM

hi, the side fan is intake, blows on back of the graphic card and motherboard northbridge, keeps both of them cool.
My Idle temp at the moment is 33C with room temp at 30C and my full load temp is 38C with 2.6 running at 3.25Ghz and this is during rthdribl kept for rendering in background. I am yet to see it go over 40C since i got the watercooling.

The most I have seen is during DOOM3 when it reaches 39-40C thats it not more.
I got watercooling through 1 distributor. Cost was around 4.7K. He imported it for me from australia but now this is available here. hard to find but you will find it in mumbai. Some days ago there was article in CHIP where they gave contact no of the dealer who sell them here. i will try to search it.

klinux · 21-11-2004, 08:59 PM

@FunMon , what did u use to cut the whole in the side panel of ur cabinet ? i tried the drill but went lousy . so used combo of drill and hacksaw and got something close to a circle . another thing , the fan i attached seems to be running slower , the shop didnt have any other . so anyway i can increase the speed of the fan ???

blade_runner · 21-11-2004, 09:21 PM

@funky: Gr8 rig ! Nice really ..........

@freash: U can order the TT A2 frm prime abgb in Mumbai !

TheGuru · 05-12-2004, 11:16 PM

Creative Inspire 4400 and SB Live! 5.1??!!?? You disappoint me. You are doing real bad in the sound department, dude. Get yourself an Audigy 2 ZS and gigaworks!!!
