Your Kill Station Setup -
Re: Your Kill Station Setup -
What a sweet setup!
A few questions, if you don’t mind…
COMPUTER:
1. Did you build this, or is it a custom-order?
a.) was it built with the liquid cooling…or was that added later?
b.) Specs please!
2. Kudos on the all blue LED lighting!
3. Is that a Razer mouse?
4. Keyboard?
5. Headphones?
MAN CAVE:
1. Star Wars stuff = C
2. Pulp Fiction poster = A-
3. What’s with the John Kennedy fixation?
4. Nice touch with the orange safety vest on the chair!
5. Who’s the cute little girl on your wall? (above your headphones)
Was a cool series of photos… Thanks for sharing

Re: Your Kill Station Setup -
Priced and picked out every part separately. Ive built and rebuilt it twice already. Modified the water loop and even modified the case. I replaced the acrylic with a sheet of glass. Had to cut and grind studs off the inside of the door to achieve this, as well as sand and re-paint to match the rest of the case. I used a VHB tape to adhere the glass to the door. The acrylic scratched quiet easily, every time it was cleaned it would scratch. With the amount of hard earned money in this masterpiece, I figured it deserves a glass panel lol. It doesn't scratch and it is much easier to clean.
I went with liquid cooling from the start (distilled water mixed with colloidal silver), because I wanted to be able to overclock this thing to its maximum potential. The CPU is overclocked to 4625Mhz running stable at 1.331v adaptive, with a slight bump in the cache which is up to 4000Mhz at 1.25 volts, also adaptive. I did all the overclocking within the BIOS, as this produces much better results than a software based overclock.
The x3 GPU cores are clocked at 1524Mhz in SLI, and the memory is all the way up to 8204Mhz. I achieved this by flashing the GPU BIOS with a custom bios, basically, my modified version of the factory original for the cards.
Max temperature under 100% load on the CPU is 78c max on the GPUs is 62c.
This is my first Enthusiast Build. I am hoping to acquire sponsorship with it, whether or not that will happen remains unknown. But regardless, Id like to open my own business, building custom computers, and selling top shelf technology in the North East, I'm thinking of calling it "Enthusiast Unlimited," or "Innovations Unlimited," just a couple of thoughts.

The Star Wars stuff is actually rather valuable, a great investment years ago. They are legit prints, real good quality stuff.
Ive been deeply immersed in the history of the assassinations of the 60's. I am fascinated by the mystery behind the killing of our President. Ive been researching and learning more and more about it for over a decade now. The history of the Kennedy family, and the intentions of it have always been inspiring to me. I believe John and Robert were both killed as a result of conspiracy. John Kennedy is my Fraternal Brother. He was a Fourth Degree Knight of Columbus, as am I.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the original NES in some of the photos, I still play with it every once in a while, and do have a copy of the original Zelda, perhaps the best RPG ever.
You might not believe it, but the table that the rig is on, was completely wasted in a really bad fire. Never thought it would come back to life, but I refinished that thing a couple years ago, came out great. Hard to tell it was fire wood at one point.

SICKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK setup, I can't wait to start building a desktop. It's a really fun hobby to get into (that's if your into computers). But as of right now my laptop will do.

Nice setup.

Re: Your Kill Station Setup -
Just curious why you picked to have it setup as RAID 0 on the x2 2Tb drives? I can understand why you did that to the SSDs.Adams wrote:
SSD/HDD:

x2 WD Black 2Tb RAID 0
Edit: Awesome build! 10/10. lots of money invested in this beast!
Re: Your Kill Station Setup -
I was benchmarking the drives to see if there was any performance increase, and just left them in RAID0 as opposed to switching them back. Its not as easy as just making the switch back. The drives do perform better in RAID0, but the increase was not to far out of the margin of error. I'm all about performance, even if its just a slight increase.
Re: Your Kill Station Setup -
Very nice battlestation my friend. Definitely an enthusiast build. You can tell you put A LOT of time into this rig. I like to see that! I'll Post more pics later but these pics are of the PC itself. First, specs!
