[Project] Coolermaster CM-690 II

[Lloyd_mcse]

finally got the rads ordered, they should be here tomorrow

This project turned into an air cooled PC (see sig - Rig 2) but I will restart it again when I can get another CM-690 as this will have the cpu, motherboard and ram from rig 1 when I get i7 hardware for it (rig 1)

Once the move around has been completed Rig 3 (see sig) will be retired to my living room

Back to this PC, the current specs are...

Intel QX6700 Quad Core 2.66GHz
Asus Maximus II Formula P45
8GB Corsair DDR2
3x 500GB Samsung F1 RAID0 ICH10R
HIS ATI HD4870 1GB
Creative X-FI Fatality PCI
Corsair HX 750
Corsair A50 CPU Cooler
Coolermaster CM-690 II Advanced

This chip is a hot chip but runs very nicely under this A50 about 32 deg C idle, I'll get a load reading later.
I'll add a few pictures later.

Here's a couple of pictures of it as is.
I have already bought the second CM-690 II, I'm just waiting for some new motherboards to come out before I go Sandybridge in my Silverstone.
Then I will get a couple of GTX 570s for the CM-690 PCs and the old Silverstone hardware will go in the 2nd CM-690.
Anyway the pictures atm....

I'm just waiting on some stock of the Asus GTX 570 so I can put one in here, I think 570's will be good for rig 2 and 3.
It will be nice to have dx 11 spec all round anyway.

I'm considering putting an i5 2500k and a Z68 mobo in here (or in my bedroom rig, not sure which to do first). In the meantime I wanna get the gfx upgraded in here.
I will probably get a reference GTX 570, though I have been thinking about a reference Asus 6970. We will see....
