Default Post "Sunset", my newest project
well most of you know my last system, "The Mystic Rig", for those of you who dont follow this link (also in my sig) http://www.zardon.net/system/


My new project "Sunset" came into fruitation due to a new concept which has been increasingly irritating me at night.... "noise". So my main priorities were to select good performing components with the slant on trying to keep the noise down.

My thanks goes to my friend and hardware guru, manager of Computastore in Northern Ireland, John, who is always there for advice and much more

Ok my setup this time revolves around the following components.

Athlon XP 2100+ CPU
MSI KT3 Ultra 2 Raid Motherboard
AKASA Silver Mountain 2
Kingmax DDR333 256 meg boards x 3
Western Digital 120 gig JB SE 8 meg cache HD
Western Digital 80 gig JB SE 8 meg cache HD
ATI Radeon 9700 350 core/340 ram
LITEON 48x CD Writer
LITEON 20x CD Writer (for multiple copies VIA Nero)
LITEON DVD PLAYER
LIAN Aluminium Case with window modification
and some nice red lighting

some piccies

[img]www.zardon.net/sunset/zardon2.jpg[/img]
[img]www.zardon.net/sunset/zardon3.jpg[/img]

at the minute im not overclocking the CPU much as the AKASA isnt a hard core overclockers tool like my delta but is a much quieter fan, so im running the 2100 at 1.75 core at a steady 1.76 ghz ... someday if I fancy some OClocking I might add my swiftech in with the delta and get her to 1.9+ghz again.

The red lighting looks much more effective without the flash hitting it on my digital camera, but ah well you get the idea.....


but she is running sweet, getting over 13k in 3dmark with pcmark benchies of 5100 CPU, 4200 mem and 1200 HD, and more importantly all my games are running well, and im going to be able to leave files downloading in this room without the need for earmuffs......

Very sweet indeed. You could probably float that case on the airflow from your previous army of 120mm fans

Very sweet indeed, Z'. Anything that hits 13K in 3DMark is fine by this fox. But, I'd have to say, I think that system only seems quiet because your previous system was so loud.

Oh and another thing -- good job picking red components. Coordination is a sweet thing. ^_^
