PC build

Last year I sold my old PC to get cash for our Maldives expedition, so when it was called off short and we had to return home I needed to build a new system again. The fruits of my patience (or lack of depending on who you speak to) have finally paid off and I have completed my build, bar a few aesthetic additions.

Here's the specifications :

Cooler Master CM STORM : SCOUT Chassis
22" LG Flatron Monitor (1920x1080) 1080p HD
Razer Lycosa Mirror Keyboard
Razer Naga & Razer Abyssus mice
ASUS Maximus II Gene Motherboard
6GB DDR2 800MHz RAM
2x 80GB Sata II in RAID 0
1x 1TB Sata II Storage Drive
Zotac Gefore GTX285 Graphics card
Intel Core 2 Quad - Q6600 2.40GHz overclocked to 3.5GHz
Corsair Hydro H-50 CPU water cooling

Needless to say this is the most powerful system I have built so far, for lack of funds for anything more powerful. Though I can now comfortably play Crysis, a game that I spent rather a lot of money building a system for in 2006 only to be disapointed by the sheer grunt required to run that sodding game.

Super clean cable management.

Bit of an update here, I have since moved the radiator section to the front of the case in a push pull configuration as intake rather than exhaust, which is yielding far better cooling results.
