    Well, I finally finished my 670 FTW loop. I got the tubing routed the way I wanted and more importantly I got the correct size compression fittings this time. I also picked up a Samsung 830 Series 128GB SSD to replace my (2) Intel X-25M Raid 0. And the last shot taken through the case...

    I just finished everything in the rig and with the photos, so here comes more hardware porn. The EVGA 680 GTX back plates went on with no problems using the XSPC Razor 680 GTX blocks, the screw heads were slightly larger then the holes but the screw itself was long enough so there was no issue...

    After owning the G930's and now owning the A40 with the 5.8 GHz wireless mixamp I have to say that the A40's are FAR superior in every aspect, sound quality, connectivity and comfort. The only thing I feel that the G930's have over the A40 is that the wireless module is integrated into the...

    The PCB is actually no smaller then the 680 GTX 2GB reference PCB. The 670 FTW edition uses the same PCB. As for the A40s I love them.

    Some of the parts arrived so the water cooling porn can continue. I'm still waiting on a smaller package that has some Bitspower rotary fittings, which is holding me up! Here are pictures of the XSPC Razor 680 GTX block, the SLI block and the EVGA 680 GTX back plates. I have to say that the...

    My 670 FTWs which will replace my ailing superclocks have arrived! :) I thought the white on the heatsink for the SC was bad, the green lettering is even worse! :( At least I won't have to endure it too long as I can order the EVGA 680 Hydro block and back plate since it's designed on the...

    ICK! The white on the cards throw my entire color scheme off! I can't wait until EK finishes making blocks for these so I can ditch the huge ugly coolers. Although, this can be the perfect opportunity to re-sleeve everything that is orange to white and replace all my...

    Boooo :( I can't use my GTX 670 Superclocked Editions because there is a recall on them because a few are faulty, and the 2 I bought are :( Good part is that EVGA is doing cross shipping and upgrading everyone who got bad Superclocked Editions to FTW Editions :)

    Yes I know it is overkill but I already had 16GB from my previous laptop and it was cheap enough, so I was like yeah... screw it and bought another 16.

    I finally have gotten around to upgrading since I wanted to see what Nvidia had up their sleeve before buying the Radeon 79XX series, I'm glad that I waited. I just have to wait for EK to release some nice blocks for the cards and I will be in business, I'm not quite sure if I want to use...

    Newest little toy for my build, the Razer Black Widow Ultimate mechanical keyboard. I should have my MLG Astrogaming A40 Wireless 5.8 GHz headset tomorrow as well so pictures to come again tomorrow. I'm also torn on if I should replace my Logitech G700 gaming mouse for the Cyborg RAT 9. I am...

    Some new toys from Black Friday sales... Decided the HT Omega Striker 7.1 would be a good alternative to the SB X-Fi Titanium HD since it would not fit into my setup. It definitely does not dissapoint and the price was right. The Corsair SP2500 2.1 Gaming speakers are f'n amazing! That is all.
