Moddifying My Dream Rig

There are a couple benchmarks where it dipped fairly low. Even still, 50+ is within tolerable range though I would probably sacrifice some detail for the extra frames.

Who plays with Vsync On?!
Vsync should stay off all the time.
Otherwise your 60fps will feel like 20.

30, actually. Also, your screen would consistently display a solid image, rather than tear all over the place. It’s just that with some games, or some parts in games, there’s not much that’s really flashing or flickering on-screen, or color changes are more subtle, so tearing isn’t as noticeable.

I threw in the i7 960 @ 3.2 rather than the 920 @ 2.66.

Does anyone have a recommended case they feel would have a VERY VERY similar look to the TJ10 with guaranteed better airflow?

If you want…

This should work.

I just realized that with a giant window-sided case like that, you could probably do some cool time-laps photo project where you make a movie showing the massive dust build-up over time, without the pain of wrestling off the side panel every time.

I really hate you for showing me the Level 10. It’ll match the 5850s, the Dominator RAM and the Mobo. BLACK WITH RED LIGHTING?! I’m getting this case no matter what now…too sexy and amazing to pass up. Thanks for showing me that. Gonna check my PSU specs now for cable lengths.

HAHAHA I WAS JUST KIDDING!

But if it pleases you and you have money to burn be my guest!
Should be rad.

Compressed air is going to be my friend. I have an endless supply via my father who’s a mechanic.

You may be kidding but I would rather spend the extra money on an amazing case built for air cooling than to spend the extra on water cooling and possibly mess up the pipes and have it leak everywhere. Going to do some more research on that case.

Two 5850s with the RAM and CPU can run on a 850w you think?

Here, this video should help.

I see on a review that it comes with a PSU, up to 850w. Think that would be enough for the two 5850s, CPU and memory?

Yes it should.

Wait, I thought this thread was just a fantasizing thread. You’re actually going to be spending huge gobs of money on the bleeding-edge tech?

…Can you buy me a new computer, too? That’d be swell. You sound like you have tons of money to burn, so…

my Corsair HX 750 can run two 5850x2 easily, very nice solid PSU aswell, will not dissapoint.

wow, the L10 case is the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen and yeah, 850W PSU is definitly enough

I’d rather shove my PC in a horizontal IBM cash register case.

Honestly, the case is beautiful. I can understand why it can be seen as ugly but the inventiveness behind it along with the ability to still maintain a ‘design’ interests me quite a bit. The a-symmetrical system it has is very unique to computer chassis and shows true engineering.

No, I don’t think the case is ugly, I just can’t comprehend why one would buy it for that price. :fffuuu:

Well, in theory. I would assume it could ALMOST act as good as water cooling. And a water cooling system in itself costs almost a grand. With the way the fan system is set up and everything is in its own compartment along with the fact the entire case is a ‘heat sink’, I think it’ll do better than a regular case. So I’m technically paying for performance. Not to mention, the wire management system on it is one that would put me in heaven. I’m very compulsive about open wires and this pretty much fixes that right up with the least amount of effort. So the reason I would pay the extra 350 is for the increase performance it is said to render on my system.

My biggest concern with it, is that the Megolith CPU heat sink will not fit. I need to find someone who owns it and get an exact measurement from top of the CPU chip to the panel even though it appears to be removable.

Why would you spend so much on a pc? It’s overkill, really, but if you DO have the money I say do it. Damn though. My whole rig is worth ONE of your GPUs.
