Yeah, that picture was taken right after I finished it. I had it goin just to make sure it was running all right. The cables are all tucked away nicely now. As you can see by my desk, I'm a bit of a neat freak lol.
It does heat up, thats definitely for sure. They're factory overclocked GTXs, nonetheless. I don't know what I would do without those side fans. I'm considering new heatsinks for the video cards, since the stock configuration doesn't do as well as I like.
It was very, very expensive though, and extremely CPU bound. That's currently my bottleneck, even at 3.2GHz. Every time I overclocked the processor, my benchmark scores shot way up. When Intel releases the Penryn, I'll be grabbing one of those. They run cooler and the new architecture is a lot more efficient than the current Kentsfield and Yorkfield processors.
BTW this thread is starting to look like an advertisement for Thermaltake. Right on, HawMan.
