My uncle bought the parts needed for 3 almost identical systems and is leaving today for Ontario. The parts didn't arrive until yesterday afternoon and the systems needed to be put together before leaving with my cousin so I got a call after supper time asking if I would come down and help put them together.
From what I remember of the parts:
- Cosair Obsidian 800D
- Corsair 1000W PSU
- Intel i7 930
- Gigabyte Motherboard... not sure of the model but it had tri-SLi, USB 3.0, and hot-swappable SATA.
- 12GB's OCZ Platnium DDR3
- Noctua HSF - again, I don't remember the model number but it's the biggest one they make and was close to the size of my head.
- EVGA GeForce 460 1Gb
- (2) 64Gb OCZ Vertex's in Raid 0
- (4) 2Tb Western Digital Black drives in the hotswap bays... not sure what Raid he'll be using them in yet though.
Anyways, it was getting fairly late by the time we were done so I waited around just long enough that he could boot up the one I built and get into the BIOS and check out the CPU temperatures, and after about 10 minutes it never idled above 31*C and the room we were in was at least 24-25*C ambient. I left after that so I never got to see the systems do anything fun but it was nice working with such expensive gear for a change. It was my first time working with a $300 (without PSU) case.
