Lol, I think that rig could indeed initiate a hell of a fight if he put it in the middle of the street and simply said "Winner take all, ready, FIGHT!!!" lol

Just thought I'd let you know - I tried to connect the HDDs together again and the problem is gone, probably some new BIOS revision fixed it.

This is my rig. Never showed it, so this is a first!

this is the front

Don't watch the wires, I'm terrible at cablemanagement..
and one of the red lights doesn't work, the one at the bottom.

Some photo's without the red light will come soon

Is it just me or does your rig look like a toaster?

Looks pretty good, how does it perform?

Neshi · Sep 25, 2008, 01:21 PM

well.. the internals are pretty old, just the case that's new.. and the motherboard.
I will try to oc the cpu pretty soon though, so we'll see how far I can push it

Blindingly red :P

My HTPC system just before I parted it out.

If you can believe it there is over 70 feet of sleeving inside that case.

PS: I highly suggest never getting the idea to build a four HDD, SLI, watercooled HTPC. It was awful to work on.

dawgXdenta · Sep 25, 2008, 03:35 PM

I heard about that mess and stayed far far way Lowfat

Mousey · Sep 25, 2008, 03:48 PM

Bet it was quiet though lol.
I've gotta say Lowfat that looks incredibly tight, i don't blame you for parting it out :/

Actually that is why I parted it out. Either it was quiet and overheating, or loud as snot.

A case swap and a few component upgrades for now. Work will begin this weekend.

Replacing 2407 as main and 2407 will replace 1907 as secondary:

Hopefully this will last me for a long time:

A few more parts. Ill post tomorrow...

One of the fellows I work with just got one of that same series case, but with the bottom mounted PSU - wonderful!

Nice top end setup there...

Vehicon · Oct 11, 2008, 10:35 AM

VERY NICE!! Kewl setup!

**kris23** · Oct 11, 2008, 10:49 AM

HIS? that aint good..... junk support and a sorry excuse of RMA costing someone the crapload to ship back to hong kong.... and the return shipping for anyone not in US and the US shipping still takes forever....

EDIT: oh and their website seems to be down too...

id send that card back and get a visiontek or sapphire card

CJLMTLCA · Oct 13, 2008, 08:07 AM

I was 100% going to get Sapphire. I went to 2 sites, and at the shopping cart decided to go with NCIX. Paid 589$ for the X2 and got the case for 169$ and then 5$ ground shipping. Also the warranty is 1 year through NCIX. This is my second HIS and i still regret not buying the Sapphire but i made a choice. I went to see the Oracle this morning and she told me that i already made my choices, now i have to understand why i made those choices.

So, price, shipping, ncix warranty.

Thansks for your input kris.

Well, everything is setup. This case is huge and a pleasure to work in. Some minor negative points. I'll gather my thoughts and post later.

One big problem however is the PSU. It's loud! It totally offsets the quiet 230mm fans, which is why i got this case. I don't have the front and rear fan hooked up. Fans running are : side 230mm, top 230mm, 4870X2, PSU, Dominator airflow.

I hooked back my 600W and what a difference. Do you guys think i can get by on an X3 600W 36A?

Crap pictures, i had WB set to tungsten by mistake. I'll take some more when everything is finalised.

I will clean all the wiring when i decide what to do with my PSU and i still have a tuner to install.
