I started getting back into the custom scene in October when I started heavily building computers at work, the bug got me! I am starting this build from ground zero including my desk. I have been taking pictures along the way and I am still changing and moving into more in depth mods in my project. I hope to get compliments and some help along the way.
First, here is a picture of the old P4 setup I have had for the past couple years:
The basis for my new rig started out as a good foundation to do my Web Design and 3D Animation but quickly turned into wanting more POWER! My original plan was below:
Intel Q6600
Antec P182 Case
EVGA 680i mobo
4gb Gskill Ram
Corsair 650hx ps
Dual 8800GTS 640's
Tri- 22" Monitors
I will start with pictures of where I started and move on from there.
The Desk: It measures 6'W x 2'D, I needed enough room for my new monitors.
Frame:
Top on:
Case: Antec P182
First Shipment: You will notice here that I have a Dtek block. I was interested in watercooling and started buying my pieces.
Motherboard: EVGA 680i A1 New Version.
Case: Antec P182 mid tower.
Case: Someone gave me a really good tip and told me if I planned on watercooling to drill my mobo tray where the blocks mount.
Here is a picture of things mid way through installing everything.
