GK likes RAID5 in his systems. The agreed plan is to place utilize 2, ATX MBs (1U and Gaming MB) side by side on a removable MB tray Please pull your recommendations from manufacturers & resellers that sponser PCApex Keep in mind that we've only raised $402.41 so far.

Colored hybrid carbon fiber/kevlar... cool

mnpctech · 22-March-06, 02:11 PM

Very cool design Seyeklopz. Thank you. We'll take it into consideration if the current plan changes.

Other than having hybrid colors, why this source BA? Prices better than competition?

BZA · 22-March-06, 04:43 PM

no, its just cool...

mnpctech · 24-March-06, 01:42 PM

Cool indeed BZA.

Hey everyone, lets hear your suggestions for the system components.

ultimate Pimp would have to be those new RaptorX drives from WD

150Gb at 10,000rpm! Its all good!

Mark

Prime-evil is now onboard the PimpRig Tribute Team.

Prime-evil started out as a carpenter by trade and specialized in home building and cabinetry. He has 29 years of experience in composite prototype development and composite parts fabrication.

"By "composite" I am including not only fiberglass, carbon fiber and Kevlar, but sheet metal and billet machined parts as well." Prime-evil told me offlist

We look forward to his help and guidance with the carbon fiber aspects of the build.

Those were the first suggestion made by Twizted on Skype.

beachbum86 · 29-March-06, 07:49 AM

Sweet glad to hear PE is on the team now, hopefully he can add more links and/or info to my composites post in the other thread.

those drives would be pretty baddass for this rig

mnpctech · 29-March-06, 02:06 PM

1. 1U Motherboard
2. 1U PSU
3. WD RaptorX drives

Anymore member suggestions for our 2 systems?

Try and pick from manufacturers who have had their products reviewed by PCApex. We're hoping we can approach them about sponsering our build.

musclecars&computers · 29-March-06, 03:45 PM

TYAN boards.

HTRN know the good ones.

beachbum86 · 29-March-06, 05:25 PM

Ultra X-Finity 600w psu for gaming side.
OCZ EL DDR PC-3200 2x1024MB Dual Channel Platinum XTC

is this rig gunna be CrossFire, SLI or solo ?

mnpctech · 30-March-06, 07:00 AM

$402 budget says solo. Unless we can get sponsership from either ATi or Nvidia? Which manufacturer has better affiliation with PCApex?

Ok, two Tyan Motherboards (1 for 1U side, 2nd for Gaming side) This is presuming Tyan sponsers PCApex

How about some Tyan model suggestions?

I don't know if Tyan sponsers PCApex (don't think so), maybe one of the Admins can talk bout a deal w/ em. But for servers Tyan only board u should use, i do know that. Or just hit htrn up for a one.

musclecars&computers · 12-April-06, 04:31 PM

Alright i ran this idea by twizted he said i should post it.

Since Gary likes raid and w/ two mombos and all the stuff i thought an external raid would be cool.

I have this old Diskfile thing here. it can fit a regular PS and bout 6 drives or 3 hotswaps. All it needs is some modding. I'd be more than willing to donate it or help mod it w/ the team.

That thing is da ****!!! I want it!

musclecars&computers · 12-April-06, 07:34 PM

No, Thax a bad kitty!!!

It's mine or for the project. lol
I was gonna use it for external watercooling.

musclecars&computers · 19-April-06, 03:36 PM

OK i know this is for a good dead and all but this project is going slow as hell. I talked to twizted and he agrees. I think u need someone over all the small groups to motavate and push them. If u need stuff or anything let us know we are willing to help as much as posible. So start ur skype talks and clue us in if u don't mind.

mnpctech · 22-April-06, 03:50 PM

Thats slick as snot musclecar.

Twizted PMed CPU Killer from Danger Den about possibly sponsoring us and helping with a 1U CPU block... Once we sort out how much space to account for on the 1U side for a waterblock, I can start chopping the chassis to accomondate dual MB tray. The chassis width measures just over 8.5" not much room for error.

THRASHER2 · 25-April-06, 10:59 PM

BAM!!!
You guys have some more funds all the way.

Let me know what find of stuff you guys still need.
