This will be my first ever build log. Only time i took pictures parts are when i am going to sell them.. Hope all goes well!

This will be a very long term project as there are a lot of things that i have not gotten my hands on yet.. But i will be updating from time to time once i have the parts for this build in. So without any further bla bla, i give you the list of the items:

Hardware:

Mobo: EVGA Classified SR-2

CPU: Intel Xeon X5600 series x2

RAM: 48GB Samsung DDR3 1600mhz

GPU: 4-way SLI EVGA GTX 680 Classified

PSU: EVGA Supernova NEX1500 Classified

Storage: Samsung 830 256GB SSD

Optical drive: still looking for slot load Bluray drive (any idea where to find one?)

Casing: Little Devil LDPC-V8 inverted


Cooling:

- Swiftech Apogee Drive 2 CPU block x2

- EVGA GTX 680 Classified waterblock x4

- 3 x 480 rads

- Swiftech MCP-35X2 pump

- EK MultiOption Res X2 250 Advanced

- Mayhems Pastel Red coolant

- Mixture of Bitspower and Monsoon fittings


As of now, the cooling list is not final. But will definitely be getting the pump and CPU and GPU blocks. Will see which mobo block available as well as RAM blocks.



It will come soon! Soon!!! But it will not be as pro looking, but i will try my best!

Well, thats it for now! til the next update with PHOTOS of HARDWARES!!!

Well I haven't got it yet. But I think I will most probably be getting from performance pcs.

Ha? I am getting the MCP 35X2 which is the dual pump model. If I sell one I will have nothing left....

Oh u wanna tumpang ka? Shouldn't be a problem. I will let u know when I am going to purchase ya.

Added on September 29, 2012, 7:51 amI will definitely not be using push pull up top due to the size of the mobo. But if I want to, I think I will have to go with the slim factor rads like swiftech's or xspc's ex series. But I am looking at the alphacool UT60 rads.

Hahaha more n more ppl wanna tumpang. A few more we do group buy!

Preview time!

Meet the Classified family!











Til the next update.... the unboxing of the family..

Not really. This PSU is meant for SR-2 and SR-X with dual CPUs and 4 GPUs. Its rated at 1500w but has a max output of 1650w. This freaking thing comes with 16 PCIE connectors! And the GTX 680 does not draw as much power as the HD7970 GPUs.

It's that time again.. updates! i know i mentioned about the unboxing.. but i just have to show this as it is very much as important as the other parts previewed earlier, the processor.



Full 6 cores and 12 threads.

Added on October 1, 2012, 12:21 amcan anyone tell me why cant i post more pics? is there a limit as to how many pics can be posted in a day??

U mean each reply to my own topic I can only post 9 pictures including smileys in a day?

It depends on what you want actually. I would have gone with SR-X that supports LGA2011 dual sockets but it just doesn't overclock even if it meant taking its life. And you don't see a full on workstation running a single desktop processor. Mostly will still go with Xeons or even Opterons.

mostly will be redering for Premier as well as After Effects. But will throw in some games and Folding in between.

yes. i am considering getting wheels. But have not really surveyed yet. will have a look at those Ikea ones. thanks for the tip!

STH10.. my dream case... housing 2x560 and 2x480 rads.. and it costs about rm1k more compared to the V8 if I take all accessories needed..

Awesome build u showed!

Soon! Parts are coming in slowly and once its in, I will update.. sorry for the delay.

Woah.. good things always comes last ka? Haha.. hopefully my build will be up to the standards here le.. so many powerful modders!

Anyway, I have a question to ask u guys.. what fans dou think i should get for the rads? I will be going for Alpha cool UT60 480 rads. I know most will say GT AP-15.. but is there any other fans worth mentioning? I am considering XSPC Xinruilian fans at 2000rpm. They are damn cheap comparing to AP-15. And I was thinking of getting 38mm fans instead of 25mm.. but I am open to opinions..

I just want plain black ones... which is why fans like the XSPC and Yate Loons are my top choices.. so far AP-15 seems to be the only one that almost everyone thinks is the best fans for rads.. but I think I have decided to bite the bullet and get myself the XSPC fans.. hopefully they will last longer than everyone says because they are sleeved bearing fans.. need to get a bottle of oil to service them every 6 months..

Here is a little update as i received some items recently. Apologies for the bad looking pics as it was taken using handphone.....









i wonder how the flow would be like.. 4x MCP35X.....
