New Case

[ApacNTS]

doubt its your skills, mostly the camera im sure. looks great tho. sprocket sure is well equipped. i see what your saying about the hs(watersink). if you get the 7800 i dont think you'll need much for awhile. but then again, you'll probably need 2 just for comparison of what you can do and what it will do *dreams*

Thank you but no, it's me.
Too old, too shakey.

Maybe you should finally get that urine sample (on the left) analyzed and see why you're so shaky.

Are those CD's on the front of sprocket? Whatever it is they look nice when the light hits them

Those are 120mm fans.

More goodies arrived yesterday.
A new Weapon rad/shroud assy. and a Silverprop Fusion HL GPU block.

This heatercore is based on the Fedco 342 singlepass design so there is less restriction through the rad and the barb arrangement might make the tubing run simpler.
The Silverprop I got just cause the price was good and it's all brass/copper unlike the Swiftech block which is anodized aluminum/copper.

My vacation begins on Saturday and I'm off galavanting across the country for nine days (actually gonna drop in on j2 again), so it will be a while before all this new stuff gets mounted. Still waiting on the last Raptor to arrive (from Canada no less!), but it should be here by the time I return.

The timing actually works quite well as I am definitely going to upgrade to the DFI LP Expert motherboard ( supposedly available in the next few weeks) and probably a 4000+ San Diego, so I can install everything at once.
Still trying to decide on the vid cards...one 7800GTX or two 6800GTs in SLI- decisions, decisions, decisions.

Of course, all of this is going into the Stacker...still haven't found a use for the G5 case....

Edit:
Here are my current temps so we have a baseline to compare to...

This is on air (TT Big Typhoon and Aerocool DP 102)...note that the northbridge and vid card are the two hottest components.
The new motherboard should allow for much better northbridge cooling and we'll see about the video-that's what I'd really like to lower.

wow that's really nice, i'd probably go for the 7800. but you said youd like to tinker with the dual sli, so 2 6800's is probably your view on things. i envy either way, when are you gonna take some pics of your gaming action?
