So I got my rig to work
So I got my rig to work
Turns out I got a bad Raptor. 3DMark05 score is just north of 10k. Runs Doom3 at Ultra Quality 100FPS with resolution 1280x1024. F.E.A.R. test settings script runs at 85FPS with 16xAF and all settings maxed except AA because AA+Soft Shadows = game bug that kills framerates regardless of what hardware you have. Pics will come eventually.....

Finally got around to pics

This is what it looked like when it all arrived.

The beastly PC Power and Cooling TurboCool 850SSI! Can't seem to get this pic to resize even though I deleted the old one off the server and uploaded a new one, sorry!

The video cards of awesomeness!

The whole shebang. There are three HDDs, 1x150GB Raptor and 2x250GB WD Caviars. However, the Raptor was bad and is currently RMA-ing.

2GB of G.Skill DDR500 3-4-4-8. Runs as advertised, I think it does DDR520 as well, must test.

No more onboard audio for me! All 24-bit from now on! (It does have the farting/crackling/hissing issue though, but only sometimes)

Everything else, mobo, CPU, case and PSU installed. The CPU is an Opteron 170, the mobo is a K8N Diamond Plus.
WARNING: Adults only!

Sooooooo awesome....

The front of the Thermaltake Armor. It weighs a ton....

The monster under load.

The processor Primed for 45 minutes (I stopped it so I could use it LOL). I couldn't get 2.6GHz because the memory can't handle past 250MHz for some reason...*goes off to try 2.7GHz*
