Hey all...I know the last project found a little stall...Due to the parts that all died at once...LOL...
It will be on track very soon...But I also have this project starting as well...
First we start with the case....

Thats right....Another lian li...this time a V1000 as I was pretty fond of the inverted BTX style for heat dissipation...
The case will be laser cut this weekend with a flame design and some mesh panels installed to improve airflow by the boys over at Voyeurmods.com. A small handfull of fans installed to eat the heat so to speak...
See the pic below of the final flame design.
More details on the case and pics coming very soon...
The harware has been ordered...
For the motherboard I went with the Gigabyte GA-G1975X.

This board is the new Intel 975X Chipset. It is capable of SLI with both Nvidia and Ati...
It's also very fast for the new Intel chips...
Since everyone knows Intel is coming on strong again with the new Pressler series chips...
I decided to go against the grain and get a 930D Pressler chip which is Dual Core at 3 ghz that can hit 4.2 thru 4.5 on good cooling.

For the video cards....and yes I said CARDS in plural (MUHAHAHAHAHA), I went against the normal right now again...Since ATI recently released the x1900 series of cards that is said to outrun the 7800 series...I decided to try crossfire on a chipset that isnt plagued like the ATI version made for AMD.
I picked up an ATI x1900xt

As well as an ATI x1900 Crossfire Edition Card.

For the memory I ordered some OCZ Gold Series 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 667 (PC2 5400).

For the PSU I ordered a Fortron FX700-GLN 700W SLI PSU....

This PSU was rated really well at 700 watts...It seems to be gaining popularity.
I can't wait to test it out...
Anyway the hardware should be here by the 22nd on my bday w00t...
As soon as it arrives I will be updating this log with more ideas...
Coming soon...
Dragon Modz Dragon Ware

and some Red Rivets.....
as well as a new natural keyboard from microsoft.....
PARDON ME WHILE I SPAM THE FORUMS.....LOL..IT HAS TO BE SAID.
A big special THANK YOU to Brian over @ Voyeurmods.com for all his hard work in helping me with this project. If it were not for him and his AWESOME crew over there...This project would not have been half of what it has become. Everything from the proposed cutting to the GREAT deal I got on the package was handled profesionally and with great care. You couldn't ask for a better group of MODDERS that help you fulfill your dreams with custom cutting and a large plethora of products to help you build ANYTHING you can think up...If you got a dream they can make it happen.
