    Default Slightly different Carbon GT build - Pics!!

    Hi folks,

    Check out these pics from the system Aria have just put together for me.

    Brains1969 not only did a perfect job, he's also been kind enough to put up some pictures.

    Specs:- i5 2600K w/ Noctua NH-D14 , 8GB Mushkin Ridgeback Redline, 2 x MSI 570 Twin Frozr II SLi , 60GB Mushkin Callisto SSD, 1TB Samsung Spinpoint

    Got to say, done a tidier and far better job than I did on my last rig.







    Wow!

    Will post some benchies once I get Windows installed, updated, drivers installed etc

    Not sure what order would be best actually now SP1 is out.

    Windows > Drivers > SP1 ?

    Personally I'd go :

    Windows, SP1, Drivers for bits that require them

    What an awesome job these guys have. Something different to do every day, doing something they love. And making an awesome job of it.
    Thumbs up to the system builders, you do a great job.

    Now can you bump my I3 OC to the top of your build queue? xD

    My current case doesn't allow much in the way of cable tidying

    We're in business. After all the problems, the machine is rocking HARD!

    Just getting everything setup nicely now. Will get some pics put up when we move, better lighting in the new house. Current gaff is an old flea pit. Meh
