Twin Turbo Pro a mate got for me a couple of weeks ago has been updated to be more compatible with the 5850. The fins that wouldn't clear the DVI cover have been cut away, so no need to do that yourself. I say 'more compatible', because on the XFX 5850 xxx edition, if you're planning to retain the s...

Ah Adriana Lima....

I have that wallpaper

That looks fantastic

Whoever is providing the heat re the optical drive is right though

Love the swappable panels

Running W7 RC x64, and quite often the only time my movies drive spins up is when I open up My Computer and it tries to get a figure on how full the drive is. (Other than watching a movie of course )

Sapphire VaporX will probably be the nearest thing for the moment.

Cool
I can't quite remember from reading your posts elsewhere - were you planning on undervolting or overclocking or both?

Let us know how you go

Ah... The Call. Fantastic track

Love the presentation, and nice build you got mate

Assuming only hardcore gamers will buy it and assuming anyone cares about how loud it is while gaming just because you use open headphones! Does Entropy use open headphones? He was reiterating my point - we're not the same person :P Seriously... don't take it so seriously. You said 'only idle noise...

To you

My machine has to be silent (or certainly no more than a faint faint hum) at all times, because I use open headphones.

5850 with an S1 or a Trad^2 is looking mighty good.

Currently I can't tell if it's pretty or not

oh yeah? what do you study? i'm in engineering =) can't stand the Atom though, but i'm also trying to do a DTX build [if i can find someone to sell me the motherboard i'd like - comes from a HP slimline] Surveying ;) Long as I can get the 9400 onboard to accelerate movies with W7 MC... all good.

Could perhaps drop in some time and compare notes...

It is possible to build a mini itx machine that could do both. A dual core atom on an ion board would make a fine htpc. So it would seem...

Stunning... Seems to be a recurring theme with your work... ;) My next build will sort of be half way between this, and your pioneer job... Planning a custom aluminium case, 5050e-based htpc....

Hi Ntavlas, Firstly - awesome build :D I have something a little similar planned, but won't start constructing till at least September - going to Indonesia in July so won't have necessary funds for a while. My questions are thus: What vfd did you use, where did you source it, and any comments as to ...
