After the carry on with my huge and very heavy rig that fills the boot space with no room for booze, I have build a LAN PC thats a little OTT...



The parts used:
Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66Ghz (Nehalem) (Socket LGA1366)
Asus Rampage II Gene Intel X58 (Socket 1366) PCI-Express mATX DDR3 Motherboard
OCZ Gold 12GB (6x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 Low-Voltage Triple Channel (OCZ3G1333LV6GK)
LG GGC-H20L Blu-Ray Reader & HD-DVD ROM Serial ATA Drive
Icy Dock MB-453SPF 3-Bay Internal SATA Drive Enclosure (Due to a design flaw, I could only have hdd space or cooling so this was brought as a work around)
Zalman CNPS9900-NT CPU Cooler (Socket 754/939/940/AM2/775/1156/1366)
Antec Mini-P180 Micro ATX Case




Motherboard ready to go into the case



A minor set back with that fan...



After finding out that the 850Watt I was going to use wouldn't boot, I had to rip out the 1250 watt out of my old rig. So it currently looks like Frankenstien's Monster on life support.

A more suitable psu will be ordered at somepoint as cable management is going to be a right sod...

More updates soon

new psu in the case and is now fully built, however £800 almost went down the tube when I knocked over a glass of orange juice very close to it. Lucky for me that it still works but holy mother of... wtf was I thinking....

I know too well about having orange juice near PCs.
Never Happening again.
The keyboard STILL sticks, and this must have been 2 years ago, before i built this rig that im running at the moment.
Alice can also vouch for this, since it was when I was over at his.

I'm sure you're not a spanner Dave but please tell me you're running a x64 OS :D (if so what are you using out of wondering?)

Very nice, but i find it a bit odd that you went for a 300gb velociraptor over an SSD if you are using a 1tb drive for general storage. The hard drive will be the bottleneck. I bet that shuttle puts out some insane amount of heat, whats the case temp like?

Think my next upgrade will be more in the mid range i5 region with a 5850. We'll see how dx11 takes off (or not) first.

first of all SSD is so damn expensive atm and the raptor is just as fast an SSD and much cheaper for more size.

the heat has been great .. running nice and cool.

Just need to find out why on HD-DVD movies (yes I have a few of them) is the sound fast than the picture...

Well if you are feeling lazy then VLC has sync settings for sound/video beyond that i'd say maybe your codecs need updating or something, not really played with HD-DVD tho so its just a stab in the dark
