Hello all… Apologies, as It’s been a very long time since I have posted. I hope to see some familiar face like hippro etc =]. I have long since parted out and sold the rig in my sig and have basically been using my work Lenovo x61 tablet pc for my daily needs (lame but sufficient for daily tasks). However I am looking to get back into the gaming and extreme over clocking scene and thought to look on my favorite form for advice.
To summarize basically I’m looking for:
• $2000-$2500 USD Budget
• I don’t think there is a need for SLI at this time (I mostly play EvE… I am VasiliVonHolst if any of you play and care, you may have heard of me from the carebear killing movie here: http://myeve.eve-online.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=708473 )
• I love extreme voltage mods and soldering, no problems here.
• Also lover alternative cooling methods such as water cooling and phase change if the performance results warrant the price (will increase budget if necessary).
• I have a dedicated multi TB RAID server for storage so ~80GB on the local PC should be fine. I want the FASTEST HDD speeds possible (within price reason). Should I be looking SSD RAID 0 or conventional?
Thanks in advance for any advise. I really appreciate it! Im sure you have all been in my shoes and know how it feels to walk away and come back to the extreme over clocking scene!
