The guys at patriot have an interesting demo up and running. They managed to build the worlds fastest PC, using five LSI controllers to connect forty SSDs to them. The system manages a sustained 155,000 IOPS/s This may not give you and idea about the actual speed, but we were given a great example. Ripping a Blu-Ray takes 2-3 hours on a good PC. It takes a mere 0.9 seconds on this one. Yes, less than "one Mississippi". For all of you wanting to build a system like this, be prepared to spend around 60,000 US Dollars on it.

Sh... this case looks huge compared to my Antec P183.
Nice cable management, even though you have non-modular PSU. Your components will 'breathe' normally this way, to bad that PSU doesn't have its own chamber.
How quiet this case is, because of this large fans in it?
It's louder than my NZXT Appallo which doesn't bother me, I know in summer this thing will cool me off. LOL. While at MicroCenter 3 people that work there a 2 customers said the HAF was better than the 902 and the 690 II so I got talked in to it. Behind the tray is wide for cable management which I still had trouble putting the panel back on, One day I will redo it, it drew blood so I wanted to hurry up. LOL
Very nice. That case is nearly as big as your desk!
Me personally, I'd remove the fan from the heatsink and rotate the heatsink 90deg, then build a cardboard duct to the larger rear case fan (more air volume moved, directed cooling & one less noise-maker). Otherwise duct it to the monster top fan for massive airflow and better overclocking.
Unfortunately I can not rotate the heatsink. It has to point up or down. My temps are fine for the CPU @ 38C (37 Cores) and mobo @ 40. The only time I have a heat issue is with my mobo and that is when running as a quad it will get to 50+ while the CPU is at 44. I think I may have hit the wall on my OC, but I will play with my RAM first to see if that helps. I am new to all the OC'ing.

Nice rig Luzr, Looking very nice
How is the Case though? I'm still thinking to get that one or the HAF 932 for my next Core i5 build...Nice over-clocking on the CPU
The case is HUUUDGE as you can see good for cleaning up wires. I actually had to cut down some wood on my desk because it was to wide. It has dropped my temps alot. I was going to get a 902 or a 690 II but this was recommend by a few people.

Ok, as most of you know I have been building for awhile now. I am going to stop buy for now "hopefully". LOL

After I get to 4GHz I will work on it as a quad to see how high I can push it.

A OCZ Vendetta.

OK, after days of BSOD's I have finally decided to stay with it as a dual core. I am at 3.8 and stable using 1.475v.
-
Best Buy charges way to much, 20+% more than NewEgg and MicroCenter.
-
I decided to upgrade to a 550 BE, and yes I plan to unlock the cores. LOL. Anyway I got it from MicroCenter for 87 NewEgg was selling it for 95.
Now for the main reason why I started this post. While I was there I found out they have a great deal there right now. I got a GIGABYTE GA-M61PME-S2P for 17.99 with a 10 MIR. It maybe a older mobo but this one also supports AM3. So I will but my 250 in it. This PC will go to my mother since she needs one.
So if you in need of a good deal MicroCenter has $20 off any AMD mobo's with purchase of select AMD CPU's.

You should be good on the power N1K. I have a 500W and I have 4 internal HDD's, a HD4770 and 5 fans.
-
this should give a general idea of ' total system' usage http://www.anandtech...spx?i=3658&p=13
I got the info from
I guess he is wrong. -
18 watts at idle and 108 at full load.
-
From what I can see they run around the same temps so I think it is preference, I like the closed one personally.
I like nVida myself, but ATI is moving up like AMD. But AMD only owns the dual core market right now.
-
From what I see the 9800GTX and the GTS 250 are equal. The 9800 is a little cheaper. But the HD 4870 is better than the GTS 260 and the 5770 is equal with the GTS 260. The 4870 is a little faster than the 5770 but doesn't supprt DirectX 11
I like the Mobo and CPU.
I don't need to say anything about the RAM, it speaks for it's self.
LiteOn is doing pretty good right now.
-
An ESD wrist strap would cost you maybe $1 and is very handy to have. I keep one in my repair bag.
I used to just grow a third arm, but I got strange looks so I got the ESD strap.
You sure it was a arm and not a leg. LOL
-
This
explains it pretty good. I couldn't find a video that shows it. Maybe I can borrow a camera from a friend and take some pics. -
thank you for this videos it helps a lot.. what about my cpu? will i encounter overheating because I didn't apply thermal cooling paste? It's Pentium D...
Yes, it will overheat, you must use a thermal paste. If there is no thermal paste the heatsink will not pull all of the heat from the CPU.
-
-
The only time you will get thermal paste is when you buy a new CPU or heatsink. You will have to purchase that separate. Everything is pretty much just plug and play. A couple things to look out for is watch how you but your RAM and CPU in, they do only go in one way. On the CPU look for a little arrow in the corner of the CPU, there will also be a little arrow on the CPU socket. With the RAM, just make sure that the notch on the RAM lines up with the notch in the slot before you push down. There are several videos online.

I haven't tried it but I think it would be the oobefldr.dll
-
Neither do I. Just have a seat on the floor and touch you case ALOT (I try to keep one hanf on it all the time) and you'll be fine....
Yeah, I kind of leave my forearm on the case. I had to use the straps when I was in school and I personally think they get in the way. In school I did a tear down and build in 16 minutes. LOL. For 3 months (Hardware Semester) we had to tear down and build our system every morning. It got so boring.
-
Your old and new mobo are both LGA775 so the CPU will be a easy swap, both mobos support 533 so RAM is fine. You can use a static strap if you want to, I don't use them personally. As long as you ground yourself out your fine. You can ground your self out by touching anything metal in the case.
-
Nice sets, you may want to use a Vista/7 style logonui for some of your mods. It would be nice if there's was some software out there for hard modding the logonui. I have a ton of logonui's but all Vista/7 style.
-
Nice post. Thanks
-
If you mod 1 krnl you can make 3 more copies and rename them accordingly. I don't have time right now to make anything. I am still setting up my Virtual XP in my spare time. That bootXP is real easy to use.
How is the Case though? I'm still thinking to get that one or the HAF 932 for my next Core i5 build...
[Addon] ConvertXtoDVD v4.0.9.322

I have to work on my moms car tomorrow, so when I am finished with that I will try and get my XP VM setup so I can work on this addon. I am not sure how this install etc. but I will try to make this addon. The older version of this I made just like all of the other addons so for shinning a light on anything, that's all I can say unfortunately.
