just a few pics i have hosted on my image server currently. I'll add more when i have time, just wanted to show it off a bit, nothing too special.





Lian Li PC A10 black
Intel Q6600 G0 @ 400x8 1.4v
XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 cooler
EVGA 780I SLI
Corsair Dominator 1066 DDR2 2 x 2GB
2 EVGA 9800GTX's waiting for GTX 260 step up
WD 500GB SATA 16mb cache 7200rpm
8GB USB pen drive for page file
Samsung DVD-RW with lightscribe
1000w Antec Truepower
Windows Vista Ultimate 64
Windows XP Pro 64


I am pretty sure i'm cpu bottlenecked. But with my cpu at 3.4Ghz I managed a 17.3K 3dmark06. sorta unhappy with it but oh well its just a score, it games fine. After i get my gtx 260's i'm going to try to find a q6600 g0 that will run higher than 3.2 stable.

Nice setup Nook,

If your shooting for high 3dmark scores you should go with a 4ghz dual core cpu, but if you just want a fast all around rig the Q6600's are the $h1t. That case rocks!

yeah i'm in queue like position 40 for the step up, sigh, its taking for ever.

and yes this case is bad a$$, i dont care what they cost, they are worth the money you spend to get lian li, its light, thermal transfer friendly, and sexy. only wish i got a bigger one :-D but the taller ones didnt have the nice closing door in the front.

the only thing that sucks is the 4 pin power to mobo barely reaches from bottom of the case to the top of the board. i wish i could find a 6" or so extension so i could hide the wire better.

yeah in a queue to get your rma numbers i guess its because of the high amount of people trading in their cards for the new gtx 260/280.

Sweet setup and it'll be sweeter once you get those 260's.
