Heres my first home-made, self-built rig. I have no work log for it because I built it long before I knew this place existed. I bought most of the components from Tiger a few years ago, so it was pretty top notch when I originally built it. She was housed in an Ultra case, but I needed more room so she moved into this Thermaltake Armor case. This thing is HUGE. Anyways, she’s nothing special, just my baby.
Specs:
– Thermaltake Armor black case
– Thermaltake Big Water SE cooling system, with added temp gauge, HDD waterblock, spare reservoir and flow meter
– Intel Pentium D 820 2.8gGHz DT 800FSB Socket 775
– Intel D955XBKLKR Socket 775
– Ultra DDR2 4096MB PC4200 533MHz (4 × 1024MB)
– NVIDIA GeForce 6600GT 256MB AGP w/DVI/TV-OUT
– Windows XP Home SP3
– Ultra X3 800W modular power supply, 83% efficient
– WDC 400GB SATA 7200/16MB (in waterblock, houses OS, programs, etc)
– Seagate 500GB Serial ATA HD 7200/16MB/SATA-3GB (houses all photos, videos, music, etc)
– Airlink D-plus Wirelss card
Its not overcloked (thanks to the intel board) but once the board gets swapped I’m all over it. I had to do some custom wiring to get all the cathode transformers to work off of only a few switches. I also took time in routing the cooling lines to provide the best heat absorption. I loved the cables that came with the PS, black, skinny, and modular. That helped me hide them or run them to get them out of the way as much as possible. I also tried to place the UV cathodes as to provide the best illumination while not being seen as much as possible. Cable sleeving was used where possible, and wires/cables are zip-tied together as much as possible to reduce clutter.
