Nice setup, are you going to add a secondary GTX 460 FTW? SLI Scaling from one to a second GTX 460 seems to be very good about an AVR scaling of 94% They are very cheap too nowadays, it would make you faster than a single GTX 580 FTW edition also

Okay here are my systems then

And this one which is still under construction, it may take me a year, but even if it gets completed in that time I won't have any regrets over it, it will be mighty powerful none the less, I want this setup to be my home bred super computer, it also will have support for Dual 16 Core Opteron Interlagos CPU's these are based on the Bulldozer Architechture

Here the 3 main setups


And a video of the main systems in action , also some footage of Project G34 the new home bred supercomputer project I am working on, the VGA card collection in my Vitrine table and some other things


Now go and post your monsters people! need to see M O A R ! ! !

im thinking about it, but i just got a new 1000w Rosewill 100A 20+20+30+30 quad rails PSU, modular. Active PFC. so i gotta take new pics. much less messy on cable management

Not much to see here - my work computer: Win 7 pro
Athlon II x4 2.8Ghz
6GB
ATI Radeon HD 6450 1GB
23" Samsung SynMaster
32" Sceptre 720p

Got it on sale around a six months ago for $600. I've been impressed how cheap HP can make their machines.

Will post my home machine later.

Finally 2-way SLI'ed EVGA GTX 580 SCE's in Blue-Leader SMP 2009

jesus christ, whats the power draw on that one?

when it had a pair of GTX 295 Red Editions it did 996 Watts once, but sicne GTX 580 SCE's use a lot less the power draw was no more than 820 watts that Antec Quattro Series 1000 does it's job very well CPU's TDP is also 75 watts each. so that is probably one of my saviors

Here some more pics of the beast when it had them EVGA GTX 295 Red Editions in Quad SLI:)


960 CUDA Cores over 4 GeForceTesla 200-400-B1 GPU's


After this I gave the system a pair of GTX 480's, the speed increase was surely notable too


960 CUDA Cores over 2 GeForceFermi 100-375-A3 GPU's:


And yeah after this the first GTX 580 SCE came, and Iwas truly surprised by it's fan noise this also made me go for a second GTX 580 SC, by selling the Zotac GTX 480, I went for Super Clocked Editions since these were like 10 euro's more than the vanuilla's Ias like well it's worth it , more speed too, and yeah I have to admit even at full load them GTX 580 SCE's have much healthier frame rates and load temps, when comparing to the GTX 480's, it was a worthy upgrade, none the less

Finally got round to building my new file server (still WIP thou) so here is my setup
