The New Build 1 & 2

[cwestwell]

I started my Build in the wrong thread so I will continue in this thread

Well I got every part I need today except my 120mm fans which sucks because they will be needed for proper cooling and all of the heat shrink and cable coverings are useless until they all get here....but I will continue because there is lots to do.

[cwestwell]

First I I got to say and show the size of this Lian Li V2010 ...it is huge here is a couple pictures to show the shear size and scale of this case.

Here is the monster box that hardly fits in my car...and a pic to show the size of the case box compared to the MOBO and CPU box.....

[cwestwell]

Here is most of the parts that will go together to make these 2 computers...not shown are a few HD's a DVDRW and the Lian Li V600 and well some other parts you will see in the build as it continues....and the other shot is the collection of toys I got from frozen CPU some very expensive Lian Li HD kit and front 120mm fan kit, some black 90 degree sata cable 18" and 36" funny but I couldn't get these at NCIX they were back ordered with a 3-4 week delivery ????? You will also see a triple 120mm Rad Grill that is to come later I will explain when I have figured out just what I will do it.

Wow I would say the same about being rich to live in Vancouver...The town I live in isnt to bad though we are pretty far South and housing is still cheaper then Alberta.

The Other drives are currently located in my working build that I am using to write this thread...that's why they are not on display. The reason I picked the Pro is because it's going to be my Girlfriends Computer and house my old Q6600 so she doesn't need any of the extra fluff on the P5Q-Deluxe...and that motherboard got me free shipping on my entire order...to the NWT...that's awesome....and worth more then the cost of the Mobo alone.

yes living here is very expensive... but you still pay expensive parts and shipping quotes ;p

thats nice to have free shipping... to make sure that you check DC or BD sites.. they offer good ship quote...

now i understand why you build two computers... buy [computer parts] and build a computer for your gf is something....

yeah I didn't mean to confuse anyone I had started a Newbuild thread a couple weeks ago explaining what was going on....and earlier in the week I couldnt find that original thread so I started another stating basically to stay tuned..

but here is the build plan from my original Newbuild post


What her build will consist of

Q6600 - from mine
2GB Corsair XMS2 PC6400 - from mine
Asus P5Q Pro - New
Seagate 500GB - New
Thermaltake Blu ORb - From mine
Lian Li - V600 - From mine
2900Xt - Spare
Corsair HX620 - Spare
Vista Home Premium 64Bit
Samsung 2253BW 22" - New

What My build will be left looking like

E8600 - New
4GB Corsair XMS2 PC 6400 - from original build
Asus Maximus Formula
Seagate 1TB and WD200 - From original build
Thermalright Ultra 120 Black W/Silverstone FM122-B and Bolt through kit. - NEW
4870X2 - Current build
Corsair HX1000 - Current build
Vista Ultimate 64Bit
Samsung 245T - Current build
Lian Li V2010-B - New W/ 3bay HDD Fan add on and 120mm front fan add on.

I figure I can OC that e8600 to 4.0 pretty easy with a 10X multiplier and benefit from the extra oomph in games and 3Dmark. Also on order are a collection of mod gear to hack up this case and turn it into a WC powerhouse but that wont likely happen until the i7 swap so this Thermalright will tide me over til that.
