Operating System = Windows 7 Pro (64 Bit)
CPU = Intel Core i7 920 2.66 Ghz (O.C. to 3.7Ghz)
Motherboard = Asus Rampage II Extreme
Ram = 12 Gb Corsair DDR3 1600
Storage = WD Black 7200 1.5Gb X2, Seagate 2 Gb, Seagate 1 Gb, WD Black 500 Gb
Video Card = AMD 5770 1gb x2 in crossfire
Monitor = Samsung SncMaster 2343BWX 23"
Optical Drive = Asus Bluray Drive
Soundcard = Sound Blaster Supreme FX X-Fi
Power Supply = Corsair HX Series 1000W
Case = Corsair 800D
Custom Liquid Cooling system consiting of 2x Triple Radiators and All water blocks were purchsed trough Danger Den.
I would love to switch my OS over to a SSD but, just can't seem to justify the price/Gb. THe 10000rpm Raptor is also enticing but almost as expensive.
Decisions, decisions.
At the moment the GPU's are not liquid cooled. I originally had a 4870x2 in there with a danger den water block and blew the card in a moment of stupidity when changing the liquid out ($700 worth of video card and block gone in 30 secs). LAME. So, i picked up a single 5770 as a quick fix and just recently threw the second card in. I figured I would wait on adding the GPU's to the loop until I had a pair of cards I really wanted in the rig. At over $100 per water block I just can't do it with these cards.

Haha! It really is a miracle. I was running the same cpu until I upgraded my entire rig. It's a good chip for what it is. So, Did you get a new one yesterday?

That is a nice setup! I don't think I could ever go back to air cooled after using liquid. I like my silent giant. lol
Are you running 2 loops with all that heat from the two GPU's and the i7? I was generating massive heat with the i7 920 (oc to 3.7 Ghz) and just on 4870x2. I had to add a second radiator.

Looks like something dragged on to the deck of a prawn trawler
I guess I should update mine thought I did but I guess not just did some upgrades as well
CPU-Intel Core 2 Quad 9550 12MB L2 cache
Got an after market CPU cooler from cooler master things a beast, my computer idles around 30-32C and around 40 or so with a load on it havent pushed it to the max yet
Ram-6 Gig DDR3 1333 (had 8 but I took 2 cheap sticks out that I bought, since it was bad and ive already exchanged it, same thing the second time so garbage and just kept the 2 and added another stick I had laying around)
video card-AMD HD 6870 1Gig
Hard Drive-320gb Western Digital SATA and 1TB Seagate SATA
Motherboard- MSI p43-c51
Drive-DVD-RW SATA
650 Watt Ultra Power Supply
Monitor-22" LCD Acer
Mouse And Keyboard-Wireless
got a new case as well with side view 3 120mm fans
Also running windows 7 Ultimate for an OS/Ubuntu and hackintosh

OS - Win7 Ultimate 32bit
Monitor - 32 inch HDTV
Processor - AMD Athelon II Dual core @ 3.2ghz (LOL)
RAM - 4gb ddr3
HDD - 1tb WD
GPU - Nvidia Galaxy GeForce GT 430
PSU - 450W
Mobo - MSI GF615M-P33
That's it.
I'm considering upgrading to a Phenom x4 @ 3ghz, but I haven't decided. I think it's the best my mobo can support.
As well, I want to upgrade my gpu, but I can't find one that I really like under $200..
Kinda trying to keep it cheap.

Just to put this troubleshooting blurb out there, my Windows 7 PC gaming PC wouldn't boot after moving to Pennsylvania.
Nothing happened. The motherboard had lights but when hitting the power switch it would just sit there.
Figured it was power related but while replacing the power supply to troubleshoot it I discovered a screw had gotten wedged between the case and motherboard.
I removed the screw and it booted normally.
THEN, the short must have killed the BIOS battery which reset the clock date so that I got some oddball errors on google mail and facebook b/c the system time was wrong.
The system clock was sept 2009 and the google mail error message was this:
First it was certificate errors but I added the exceptions and then got this error message:
Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS): There were too many redirects.
Usually I google error messages for answers but wally beat me to it and I discovered the system clock thing.
interesting stuff

You are lucky you didn't ruin your motherboard with that one screw, I've had people come to me with a screw crammed between the mobo and case and have it screw up the whole board when I press that on button
yes water cooling is great but you just the best parts as different companys make better rads than others and same with pumps etc.
no need for a dual loop system.
i dont see the need for a second rad with that setup as long as you have good quality parts all should be fine.
My current LAPTOP:
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit
CPU: AMD Dual-Core QL-67

Out of his budget, plus hes not going to overclock.
