Project: 8core

[Karbon Killa]

So I have gotten kinda lost on my previous builds. Project Karbon kinda just halted, not being tossed aside but still put on hold. Project: Fish tank media pc is also put on hold. I have all the parts to finish it, I just don't have an acrylic bender or the materials to make one, so yet another, on hold. But I think I have one that I might be able to finish in the near future. I think I am going to shut up now and let the pictures do their talking. :D

All went well until the holes for the fittings needed to be drilled. Should have done first maybe?

Oh well, I compromised.

yum yum yumm!

[x88x]

Looks nice. I assume dual Xeons from the shared memory bank? What's going in the quad PCIe x16 slots?

[Karbon Killa]

Oh yes. Xeon 5405's. In the pci-e slots, as of now only going to be some 8600GT's, but later on once more money rolls in, maybe something a bit nicer.

[The boy 4rm oz]

Ahh, Skulltrail with Sexy Heatkillers, I envy you very much lol.

[SXRguyinMA]

looks sweet

[Karbon Killa]

Would anyone know where I could get a 1/4" sheet of brass? I have some plans for that SB....

[FuzzyPlushroom]

I think Skulltrail fits in there just as well as it does in the damn Cosmos S my buddy has his in.

[NightrainSrt4]

Nice use of that Dynex case. I've got one sitting over in my parts corner as well. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

[Axis Machine]

What are the specs for this system?:?

[Karbon Killa]

What are the specs for this system?:?
2x Intel Quad Core Xeon @ 2.0ghz 12mb Cache
16GB 800mhz DDR2 FBDIMM
300gb WD Raptor
2x XFX 8600GT (until I have the funds to get something better)

And everything is going to be under water. :)

[madd0ct0r]

Actually underwater? I've heard of someone doing it with distilled water, still shortcircuited.

Mineral oil maybe would work better.

[The boy 4rm oz]

I'm pretty sure he meant water cooled ;).

[x88x]

Actually underwater? I've heard of someone doing it with distilled water, still shortcircuited.

Yeah, I've seen it done with mineral oil and vegetable oil..you just can't have the HDD/ODDs submerged. I'm guessing he meant water-cooled, but fully submerged would be AWESOME!

[The boy 4rm oz]

Fully submerged is pretty cool but it is a lot of work, there are a few awesome builds going on at Bit-Tech right now.
