Yeah, us people stuck with crappy systems have to suffer. Here's mine, i'm really hoping i don't have to upgrade because i'm not too good with this computer stuff.
Case: Xclio 2000 Black (8 120mm fans)
CPU: i7 920 @ 4.1ghz
Fan/Heatsink: ZALMAN CNPS10X Extreme
Hard Drive: 2x Seagate Barracuda 1Tb +2x Velociraptor 150gb
RAM: Corsair XMS3 12GB (6x2gb) DDR3-1600
Motherboard: ASUS P6T7 WS Supercomputer
Video Card: 2x GTX295 + ATI Firestream 9170
Sound Card: Some random card i pulled out of my old computer, 24bit/96khz.
PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower 1200w Modular Ugh, sorry you had to pay so much to get such a small performance increase  QX9550/9650 couldn't even touch the 920 as far as overclocking potential goes. And there is DEFINITELY quite a performance boost in sli enabled applications - especially CAD software, which is also helped infinitely by the 9170. ' Your CPU is fine...but you really need 2 150gb raptors? And you really need 2 GTX 295s? Really? And the RAM had to be DDR3-1600? I disagree
Well, next time you have an unlimited budget to make a workstation cpu, it'll be nice to see you get an e8400 and 4 gigs of ram, with a 4870. Sometimes you need to learn how to be flashy.
This is the same case as mine. If you bought something like this, wouldn't you want to make it work?

Too many fans, That thing is a dust magnet king unless each intake fan has a filter. I prefer my silent set up no oc in fact undervolted quiet computer, do i loose performance well as long as i dont compare to an oc set up no not at all. And i don't have fucking fans making a typhoon in the room.
|
that is a fuckload of fans
|
You mean that's a fuckload of dust it's sucking up i bet the room will be dust free because that thing is taking it all.
|
That's really not that many, I have a CoolerMaster RC 690 with all fan slots filled. Comes out to like 8 fans, and I use Yate Loon 120mm HS, which are 80-90CFM each.

I guess most of them sends air Out and not in? Thats what I would do with the fans, there will always be enough air inside but priority #1 is to send the hot air out

fantastic. i bought this laptop a couple of years ago when sc2 was announced (not because it was for sc2 but because i needed a new one anyway). now it cant even run the more recent pc games
by the time this game comes out my laptop will be obsolete again

Some of these were really out of my memory, so cant tell everything precisely (manufacturers etc).

It is a laptop as well. Really hope it can run SC2

Holy shit your processor can cloak? Obviously its fine, but if you're going to pay that much for a processor, why not overclock it?
By the way, on that case (i actually have an XCLIO 2000, which is just a little better designed than that one) the top fans blow out air and the side and front fans take it in. The dust accumulation is pretty minimal as the 6 intake fans have dust filters, so i clean it like maybe once a month or so.

Why not oc? cuz i don't want the 200 dollar power bill that goes with heavy oc and higher voltage

well here you get charged like $.06 per kWh so you probably would rack $200 extra on your bill in like 10 years. i'm assuming it's going to be similar rates. $.06 rate is at like tier 2 when demand is higher there's different tiers n shit
i calculated the difference with this and the difference between 95w and 65w over 2 or 3 years is like $20. this was done assume 12 hours of uptime too! i think it was 12 might have been 8, at full draw though.

I think it should run at mid fine.

6 cents a kWh haha i pay nearly triple that depending on the time of day.
30w x 12 hours/day x 30.5 days/month = 10980 Total Watt-hours in a month
10980 Wh / 1000 Wh = 10.98 kWh
10.98 kWh x 6 cents/kWh = $0.66/mo, $7.91/yr.
At my rate that would be ~ $20 dollars a year but more like 30-40 depending on time of day.
Anyways the big cost would be the GPU you have, along with your PSU which is not a server like google psu with a 99.98% conversion rate so depending on your psu and set up with range of oc, unless you are measuring this draw externally you can be adding 100-150w easy esp under load to a gpu/cpu/ram oced system while mildly active. I love the new i5 and i7 their idle draw is near nothing with a nice integrated gpu i can make a computer i can leave on all the time for just pennies a day. Leave that somewhere anytime i need to google something that isn't too demanding insta computer.

So many intake fans...so few exhaust fans

Actually not FTW at all. People have been ignoring the 4870 1GB's dominance over the GTX260 (and c216) since launch, as well as the competitive pricing of the 4870. Unless you got that GTX260 on sale at a very good price, I would say no, not ftw at all.

Sigh how blind fanboy-ism ruins all things
There are Nvidia and ATI favored games don't ask why there are just games that run better on such cards that can easily sway someone to buy one card over another.
The real problem with that rig is the Intel mobo which the enthusiast community hates. The Kingston gaming ram which enthusiast don't like either it's a bit over priced and they are usually higher voltage then the competition still a decent oc and very stable but most people don't like the higher volts. the PNY brand isn't a oc fav as their warranty isn't great for such but they sell at a low price and at least in the US one can find a 216 10 dollars cheaper then a 4870
