Notes

This is my main gaming rig. Took awhile to build, started off upgrading my old pc with an i7, then got a new case and swapped everything over, then when tax time came I upgraded to a gtx 480, didn't even want to deal with the heat, so I upgraded to water cooling (first time) got 2 quad radiators running in a single loop. Haven't tried to overclock the graphics card yet though. Next I want to get higher wattage psu, get another gtx 480, and hopefully at the same time put the cpu in the loop. I just bought the samsung monitor about a week ago. Wanted to buy a 3d monitor, but can't afford it yet. Anyways, I have a lot of idea's. I am working on a custom pc cart to get it off the floor. Also, I am planning on putting a new solid window on the side. hmmm.... I was gonna powder coat the inside, but again I had to choose between liquid cooling or powder coating, so that will have to be a future project. Anyways, love modding, can't wait to do more. Tons of idea's. On a side note, I was going to buy an liquid cooled EVGA GTX 480, but they weren't released at the time, and even this card was extremely hard to get, I got it about a week after the gtx 480 was officially released. Love Evga though, always been one of my favorite brands. Have to wait till I go sli, hopefully when tax's roll around again.
