Into the final stages now, back up and running on it now and rebuilding the OS, re-installing all the games etc
Bit of a pain in the @rse but I seem to somehow have a problem with my SLI bridge as it doesn't seem to want to work properly anymore, so I have ordered another one along with more...
Getting there now, I've filled the first loop, I need to move it upstairs now though as its getting too heavy to lift (even without the HDDs, PSU, wiring in)
As awesome as this thread is, it's really annoying me as my main rig is in pieces and I played Tombraider for all of 30 mins before flying out to Florida, arggh! I was really getting into Metro LL as well.
It is a crazy world, I spent circa £1300 on my 580s and no-one looks twice at them these days. That's why I want more out of them and my i7 and them before upgrading.
I use power line adaptors and a Y-Cam in the garage for CCTV purposes, works perfectly, just let me know if you have any questions / want to know more.
Some pictures from yesterday:
Motherboard all cleaned up ready to go:
1st Radiator all ready to go (2nd arrives today):
Motherboard mounted ready for trial fittings:
The 900D is awesome, but as per usual I have forgotten how much time and money this is going to take, I've already spent more than the cost of the case on additional cooling components.
I'll try and get some pictures up over the weekend, but so far I've basically been stripping down the old...
900D is finally ordered, so will be commencing my build from tomorrow, it's expected to take a little while but won't be 6 months like the last one, hopefully a month tops.
Only just started playing it, but loving it, I never really got into 2033 and didn't really play it. Only problem is I can't play it for too long at the moment as it soon has my water-loop up to 51c, hoping to upgrade my cooling system soon so hopefully it won't be an issue.
I'll be buying an Xbox One for Forza 5, but this time I'll probably stop at one, er One. Question is should I sell one of my 360s now, I'm thinking I probably should.
No PS4 for me I think, with the complete fail that was Gran Turismo mine realistically only ever got used as a Blu-Ray player...
If you haven't played Half-life before and as Roy has said we are now in 2013, I would seriously recommend you play Black Mesa, it's basically Half-life with much better graphics and refinement to the levels.
Half-life and Half-life 2 (especially Episode 2) were awesome, I always remember being in Dixons trying to decide whether I should buy HL1 or not (having never heard or seen of it before) little did I know it was probably the best game purchase I will have ever made.
I was with Sky for a few years and loved the TV service, broadband was always available but not the fastest with me being on the 10MB deal and I did get the occasional issue. Unfortunately I chose to move to Virgin but their Tivo boxes are a load of sh*t IMHO and not a patch on Sky, I for one...
Would have to have the leather with heated seats for me, I'm going to wait to see / test drive one, but I'm not sure if I want to go for the release model as they are bound to offer more down the line.
