Actually, I've been running for about a week now, but just got the pics back (disposable digital camera, of all things).
Anyway, see what you think:

Thanks for the kind words. Yeah, this was my first attempt at posting pics, and I was disappointed at how small they were.
I've reinstalled Photoshop, and done some enlarging, so let's try it again (now you'll see how lousy that camera was...)

Thanks.
That's NeoMoses P4 block. He calls it his "Double-Barrel Micro-Channel" block, or the DB-2 MCP4.

Better pics of it in this thread (scroll down a bit).

I needed an all-copper P4 block without an adapter for hold-down, if possible, and this fills the bill nicely and seems to perform quite well.

That's a very nice looking rig. How's it working? Giving you some good temps?

Working fine so far. Nice and quiet.
Temps (by MBM) are 34-35C idle and about 44C load with ambient 25-26C.
The 2.66 in my sig is actually at 3.0 right now with vcore at 1.55.

I knew that camera angle was going to earn me a bunch of comments about "power screwdrivers", etc... .

Nice setup. Which addictives are you using? I like your screwdriver idea too.

Can you post pics with the cards and cables actually in it?

Seems silly to post pics with the watercooling and mobo and that's it.

Thanks. I'm using D-Tek SuperCool, a small (<5%) amount of methanol, and a combination of blue and green Crayola washable markers for color .


Anvil82, I agree. These pics were taken throughout the assembly process, and I just chose the best few to post.

Here's a couple from after everything was installed:
