My New Computer Build

[jarhead995]

The only major differences between premium and pro that I would use is remote access... which has already been enabled on my machine.

What about bitlocker encryption, create full system images, and windows xp mode?

What about bitlocker encryption

Eh, could be nice but not all that necessary I don't think... mind you it is kind of a neat feature.

create full system images

This can be worked around using a virtual machine and testing... too easy.

windows xp mode?

See above.

I consider it to be a necessity on mobile systems. That is why I only buy laptops that have a TPM chip in them. If it's lost or stolen you don't have to worry about your information getting out.

I agree... and I don't see myself toting my full size machine around with me lol

Excellent build. Mine is quite similar except I am running the 1090t with a 5970.

Nice build,

I got a Antec 1200 w/ i7 and Intel SSD + 4 1TBs

HD Video and RAW images fills up drives fast

[OHOD]

Wow. That is a really cool system.
I don't have those kinds of skills.

I am about to build a new system... going to hop to AMD again... last two builds were Intel, but I seem to jump back and forth every two builds.


Its getting hard to build aircooled system for over $3k... =P

[Zorrm]

LOL unless your making movies on the thing, I really don't see any sense in putting that much money into a machine... but to each their own

[altxf4]

Movies, Pshop, and Games!

So I ended up giving in to temptations... got myself a new Zalman CPU cooler with two 120mm fans on it, and overclocked it.

From 3200 mhz to 4.113 mhz... and my oh my does it scream.

Under a prime95 stress test after 10 minutes... 50*C now on the CPU. Not too shabby for an air cooled machine

[sepiid]

you want a bad *** case with lots of room?
take a look at the corsair 800d. Article and pics best full size case on the market.
also instead of the costly air coolers you can look into the corsair h50 cooler or even the corsair h70

ill take some pics

I have an idea on how they got organized...

any particular reason for the shrink tubing? i saw where a connector was shrink-tubed. does that really help just keeping the connectors together? or just a "clean" look?

man, this is starting to make me really consider building one again. haven't in like 12 years as i've been mostly more into laptops. gonna cost me a bundle for sure knowing what i like/want.

Why raid 0?



that's a clean case

the mesh tubing comes standard on pretty much all modern 'enthusiast'/'gaming' psu's.
