Temple of Fusion - All Your Transistors Will Bow to Me

[x88x]

I should be getting some of the last hardware in this week. When I get it, I will post my final build list for the computer. Until then, all I am going to say is that this computer will have 4 GPUs in it

I smell another SR-2.

I smell another SR-2.

Since I work for AMD, and AMD is one my main sponsors, I don’t see a EVGA SR-2 in my future.

My last two have had 4 GPUs. one was 4x3850 and this is 2x4870x2. AMD makes it just as easy.

You aren't getting G34 though, are you?

Doh! I knew that...I really did...

Yeah, a quad Crossfire setup is going to be nice, especially when liquid cooled.

No G34 for me, but I do have some in my lab. Those things are beast with 12cores. But having 6 cores will not be too bad either

No problem. I was LOL when I read your post.

Reservoirs - 8/30/2010

Just got these in the mail today. I couldn't wait to show them off. There custom with one helix green for AMD, then the other helix red for ATI. Goes great for the Fusion theme.

Was keeping this secret, but there will be doors on the Temple. Going to cover them in brass, which will be electro-sketch with a pattern. The brass will cover both front and back.

Oooh, I like the double-colour reservoirs.

Oooh, I like the double-colour reservoirs.

Thanks, they were custom made by FrozenQ PC mods. It should give the build a “power of the ancient technology” theme. The nice thing is that they light up too. Add in some other lighting, and it should look amazing at night time.

Final Computer Hardware - 9/1/2010

Getting the final computer hardware for this project. Only have a few more pieces to get, so I decided to post the final list for the computer hardware. The list will not have hardware for the liquid cooling, but the liquid cooling is going to be heavily laden with top notch EK Water Blocks components. To start if off, here is a picture of what I got in the mail today. Oh yeah!!!

A Blu-ray burner and two OCZ Vertex 2 100GB drives, which will be my boot drive running in RAID0.

Temple of Fusion Computer Hardware:

CPU: AMD 1090T 6-Core Black Edition

MB: Gigabyte AM3 790FX MB (MA790FXT-UD5P)

RAM: OCZ FlexEX DDR3-2133 8GB (2x4GB)

Boot Drive: 2 x OCZ Vertex 2 100GB drives running in RAID0

Storage Drives: 4 x 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 SATA2 Drives running in RAID10

Optical Drive: LG 10x Blu-Ray Burner (WH10LS30)

PSU: 2 x Koolance 1000W Liquid Cooled PSUs (Yep, Two 1000W PSUs)

Wallplugs: Two Separate 20A Plugs for the Computer Room (Never Going to Have a Power Issue)

Monitor: Asus MK241H 24inch Monitor (has a webcam and mic built into the monitor)

Mouse: Mad Catz Cyborg RAT 9 (when it gets released)

Awww, why the audio neglect?

Everything else looks awesome though. As good as you can get without going nuts (G34/Ares).

As I was reading through that list, I caught myself thinking "Dual 1kW PSUs? That's a bit overkill." ...and then realized how ridiculous that thought is in context.

I assume those two 20A plugs are on separate dedicated circuits?
