MaadDaawg's Duelling Banchettos

[MaadDaawg]

Well, took a bunch of pics but most of them exceed the size limit allowed here, so I'll post a few and then give you a link to more at NBOC :)

First pic is of the entire credenza, now known as the home of the Duelling Banchettos :D

The one on the left is the gamer with water cooled everything. 3 285's on a Classified hydro copper mobo. This is also the second pic - put the two 120 fans on cause I had space, can't hurt I figure lol. The loop goes from resv to pump to feser duo, down to feser quad, on the way up it branches and sends two lines up (one to the CPU and one to the first 285. The cpu loop hits the NB,SB and moffsets then heads down to the Y connector on the resv - the other branch runs through the other cards and down to the same Y connector, and the cycle repeats itself. I put enough tubing on wiring on the quad so I can extend it across the room and sit it in front of the window A/C

The third pic is the bencher with two new EVGA FTW 295's with DD water blocks. The fans on the front and top are to keep the passive sinks on the back of the cards bathed in cool air. The rest is the same as last time I posted it. The Single Phase underneath w/ the evap head coming up behind the rig through a hole in the desktop.

Gotta run to the store for avacados' for dinner :( I'll post the other pics on NBOC later and come back and put in a link...

Bye all :)

:ohcrap: WOW....:blink:

[MaadDaawg]

Thanks all :)

Rick - I used GIMP and actually made the ones I posted here half the size that I post on the bot ??? Had I known I'd have made more of them smaller too :( Anyway, posted them up on NBOC right....

there

lol

Between games, I can maybe get a few more boints too ???

In xp you can use microsofts image resizer and use right click menu on pictures to resize. In Vista, if you have it, you can use micrsoft office picture manager or use the snipit tool if you have it.

Ballz on junk yard dawg bad arse setup u hardware maniac! :good:

Sorry Rogue :( Join up where Rick pointed ya .. they're in the public section so I didn't think ya'd have to be a member, but hey.. it's FREE, and we'd love to have you join us from time to time :)

[Kal-EL]

Don't do it Rogue! The pink fans will suck u in........ :muaha:

Blatantly obvious that the goal is to suck away local members into the oblivion...:eek:

Such an insidiously devious and diabolical plan! :confused5:
I should have known the pink fans could be so powerful (to chicks!)

Will Rogue succumb to NBOC's evil plot to seduce her with pink fans?:hand:
Or will the pink fans suck instead of blow?

Tune in next week when we don't have any "Database Errors" to find out ;)

[Rogue210]

i like pink fans...what is wrong w/pink fans LOL :laughing:

Haha, damn hippies :cool1:

[MaadDaawg]

Curses... just when I had the female within my clutches, another damned jealous comptetitor uses photoshop to turn his red fans pink. Will his desparate plan succeed?

Besides, ummm... mine are AMBER, not pink. Though pink can be a very pretty color :kissbutt:

[Neuromancer]

LOL

not PS edit though shot with a Sony DSC-S750 :)


I just have one question.

How, oh how, can you get by with only a single monitor? (yah yah I know about KVMs, I need two monitors for one rig!!!)

[MaadDaawg]

Necro, can only turn on one machine at a time anyway or they blow the circuit breaker. Just too much juice :( Don't use a KVM, too damned expensive with DVI. My monitor auto senses and has a USB hub so I just put a small USB hub behind the monitor for each rig and change the plug back and forth depending on which rig I want to run ... ??? hey.. it works :)

Once I get downstairs and set up my Maad Lab or a tor y I'll run some dedicated circuits and hit the dice and ln2 simultaneously :muaha:

[rickss69]

Here is what I have used the past two years.

I have run up to four pc's at a time, but it sure gets toasty in here...:taunt:

[Neuromancer]

Ahh yah two rigs one outlet = bad juju

Of course that is why god invented 100' 12 gauge extension cords :) I ran one up into the attic down a retired chimney into the basement into an outlet straight off the fuse box for my benching rig :)

[MaadDaawg]

I can foresee times when that may happen here too :laughing:

[MaadDaawg]

I was looking for something like that Rick, but Microcenter only had KVMs, nothing for USB only :( oh well... ain't too hard moving one cable 24inches :)

Thisis also why god created smoke detectors so you can get your arse out of the house when a little rodent decides to chew through the cord.

ROFL, make sure the kids can carry each bench table, the wife can carry the monitor while you round up any loose parts in the office and the dog on the way out. :morpheus:

I actually have a electrical line I ran up between the walls of this room to the second floor for my fish tank - it's connected to a battery backup (for the pumps) that works with a marine deep cell battery. Since I don't have the expensive fish anymore, maybe I'll tap it into this room and have a second circuit :) Safer than running an extension now that you mention it lol PLUS, I bought a 20amp breaker to replace the 15 amp ... uh oh... lol

[Neuromancer]

LOL replacing the breaker is more of a fire hazard than running a heavy guage electrical cord ;)

I asked about the same thing before, (upgrading the breakers) and a couple of smokies told me that the wiring was not designed to handle that kind of load...

JM2C

I was not worried about mice though. Our spiders would kill them :)

[2chesapeakes]

Check your wire size before changing breakers. 14 Guage wire = 15Amps 12 Guage wire = 20 amps 10 Guage = 30 Amps. There are other factors that will also have an effect on this such as length of rum, connected load, and ambient temps but this is a basic rule to follow. I hold both a journeyman electrical liense and a master electrical license and can tell you I charged people less to install a dedicated outlet than one of my 4870x2's cost. Install of a single circuit and receptacle should be under $250.00 depending on if there is room in the panel for an additional breaker and ease of getting the wiring to the final location.

I had to re-wire most of my house in Florida..I don't think they had any code here...When I did I put in a 200 amp service and ran 2 20amp breakers just for office. Put in 12 wire 2 receptacles on each breaker...Chesapeake is right....You would be surprised how many don't put the right wire with the correct breaker size..I probably did a over kill and could have gotten by with one 20 amp breaker..It is a dedicated 2 lines just for PC stuff...Before I had all kinds of breaker kicks..It makes a difference and is well worth it...

[MaadDaawg]

Yeah :( don't think the wiring's up for a 20amp, so I'll just replace the 15amp.. think it's kinda weak anyway. Plenty of room in the panel but no easy way to get it here (for a professional to do at least :D) I, on the other hand, can run one if I surface mount it lol. Seriously though, am going to divert the one from the fish tank and use it on the phase rig ... big ass APC on that thing should run it for days if the power goes out :laughing:
