The BattleStar was created after we Cylons defeated the remainder of the human colonials and is comprised of the the bodies of the entire Cyclon race, excluding myself and 72 of the Asian female variant. I am thinking of decommissioning her and selling off some of her parts, tho she is so beautiful I hesitate to do so. Since I've never posted any pics of her, thought I'd do so :)
This is her insides, other pics are too big and will need to be resized before I can post. Thats a Rampage 2 Extreme as the base that I'm going to sell with an i7 965. Not sure I can do a 4sale here though so won't say any more until I find out if it's legal or not.
Pretty inside ain't she?
Exterior shot added. She's a bad.. shut yo mouth... lol Those are shrouded Feser quads on each side :) Tri Slied 280's may go too ??

Yeah Kal, patience isn't the word for it though :Dizzy: Mounting the quads was tough, but the tubing was a trip cause with the two different colored loops I was trying to emulate human veins and arteries :)
I used the Swiftech block on the nb - it's the one ASUS recommends.
She was a bat outta hell until I put together the new phase/975 rig :(

Hey Dr. Nip, if you're taliing to me it really isn't as bad as it looks like it should be. I left plenty of hose between the back of the box so the side panels both swing out well past 90% The left engine nacell was still attached when I took the inards pic, just pulled back out of the way.
I used two furniture clamps to gold the sides on while I screw in or unscrew the retaining screws and it pops right out :) goes in pretty easy too! Hard part is picking it up and moving it to another room, won't fit through the door :( lol
PS, it now sports a dual DD bay resevoir.. makes a world of difference. Now if only I could get a laser to scan back and forth lololo

Sick looking wc build. Seeing water-cooled Tri-SLI is always cool.

I know not of what you speak Romulan, my pretty bots very well :D The Battlestar on the other hand will only bot when the 965 is in it iso the 920 D0. The R2E just isn't built for a locked D steppin proc - thus, one or both of them must go!

RomDom... of course I knew what ya meant bro...just yankin yr chain a little :taunt: Won't be long and you'll have your rack and phase and we can exchange tricks, tips, and settings :)
However, ... hehehe... as teh Romulan already knows... I've pulled the trigger on a eVGA Hydro Copper Classfied to replace the ASUS R2E :) Question in my mind... if I use the Hydro Copper w/ the phase, will the proximity of the frozen CPU add any coolness to the water in the chipset/GPU loop??? Definately will add some degree of danger of condensate, but I bought LOTS of maleable eraser last time I went to the art store :clapping:
Once I get things changed around I'll be able to take pics and put the Rampage II Extreme and the I7 965 Extreme up for sale... these two together make a rocking combo and thinking of a super combo price to make it a rockin rollin combo :morpheus:

I don't know supes. This looks pretty severe. I say two more cpu's and 150 boints should be administered before it gets ugly.

I try doc, I really do. I tell myself enough is enough, but then temptation strikes, and the next thing I know I'm on the web, then boxes full of expensive electronics start showing up a the door. Each time I think I got it licked, it happens again and again and again...
ain't it great :
lol.. thanks Supes, I'll take that as a compliment :)
