"Bluelight" - Xtreme Gamer PC - Building Video

My masterpiece, "Bluelight". It has been nearly a year now since i build this pc. Time to pay it a little respect... It deserves it. -------------- This PC was NOT supposed to be a modding PC (Ok, maybe a bit for show off ;-) ). It was supposed to be a plain, simple, selfbuild gaming computer with overwhelming power (wich it had back then, and still has). Also, i wanted to test out some new technologys, like watercooling, quadcores and raid-harddisks (yep, back then they were new). Crossfire and SLI was still to buggy and expensive to test out (i belive it's still today). -------------- SPECS: Case: Gigabyte 3D Mercury black - GZ-FW1CA-AJB Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R PowerSuply: 750W Be Quiet Dark Power P6 Pro DVD-Drive: TSSTcorp DVD-ROM SH-D163A DVD-Burner: TSSTcorp CD/DVDW SH-S203B CPU: Intel Core2Quad Q6600 [2.40GHz] RAM: 2gb DDR2-RAM Corsair - PC-800 Harddisks: 2x 500gb SATA II/300 - WD5000YS - Raid Edition Graphics Card: Club 3D HD 2900XTX 512MB [Watercooled] Sound Card: Creative SB X-Fi Xtreme Gamer -------------- Q: Why is there a picture of the RAM and the harddisks on Day 1, but they got installed much later ? A: Because on Day 1, they got delivered - as most of the components. Q: Why do the DVD Drives get installed at day 1, but get "cabled" at Day 3 ? A: Well, i had no use for them till Day 3, had I ? Q: Whats with the messed-floppy-thingy at Day 3 ? A: I installed it "temporarly" so i could feed the windows xp install with the important raid-drivers (at ...

"Bluelight" - Xtreme Gamer PC - Upgrade Project 2010 [HD]

"Bluelight" - Upgrade Project 2010, introducing "PowerColor LCS HD5870 V2" Around 3 years after I build my original gamer pc titled "Bluelight", and around 10 months after the decision for the upgrade was made, I finally rigged my pc with a new graphics card. www.powercolor.com Judging benchmarks, game tests and other resources, the new card has a theoretical power increase from around 5 to 6 times compared to the old one. Also, I used the upgrade to clean the pc from the inside.
