QX6850 Running at 3.6
2, 500GB Hard Drives in RAID 0
4GB or RAM running at 1111Mhz
GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB
Fired her up at 10pm last night. It makes a dull roar. Pictures show bad cable management but I spent an hour fixing it. It's clean now.

Stealth computer nice. Mine don't look that sleek.
Nice rig! Congrats!
Awesome case
Thanks everyone. I only built it because I got the QX6850 for under $300. It pays to have friends who work for retail stores.
I'm still working the kinks out of it. The Asus Mobo has that 6-Phase energy saving feature. It's undervolting my CPU, despite my settings. It runs a very cool 26C and I haven't seen it above 38C while under load. I will put it through Prime 95 sometime.

Quite excellent!
How much did the entire rig set you back? Is it noisy with all them fans?

No florescent lights?

5 of the fans are LED. No florescent lights.
Whole rig, under a grand.

The P5Q is a nice board. I have the Maximus Formula, with the Rampage BIOS hack. Another Quad user
I like it but that 6-Phase thing is still undervolting my CPU and has forced me to downgrade it to 3.3GHz. The Geforce drivers are junk as well. It will have problems playing Call of Duty 4.

That's odd, I have no issues with my 8800GTS and COD 4. I also have no issue with my board undervolting my CPU......

Congratz!
Looks like a helluva machine! Can't beat building your own machine!
My last gaming computer I had built was around 1200$,and that was about 5-6 years ago. Had it built to play Everquest
Gonna have another one built prolly in 09'

Bookmarked Xtremesystems for when I'm ready to do my research on buying my new gaming puter
