Okay so heres the media center rig, almost completed
still need to add a compact flash adaptor+4gb CF card for internal readyboost
Also need to move the IDE HDD forward a bit
and im waiting on a higher airflow 80mm fan for the top

but, its pretty much done

Specs:
-Gigabyte MA78GM-US2H motherboard /w HD3200 onboard GFX, mod'd with aluminum heatsinks attached to the NB and SB heatsinks with AS5 Thermal Adhesive
-AMD Athlon Kuma 7750 2.7ghz undervolted .050v
-Asus EAH3450 HD3450 fanless GFX card (Hybrid Crossfire /w onboard) Mod'd with 8 aluminum heatsinks + 4 aluminum heatsinks attached with AS5 thermal Adhesive attached to the heatsink + Ram ICs
-4x1gb Mushkin DDR2 800 RAM /w heatsinks (added TIM to each IC)

-300w power supply (20+4pin, 2x sata, 2x molex, and 4pin mobo)

Also had to order a Coax signal booster because the signal getting to my capture card just isnt strong enough apparently

Very nice ones, it looks sleek.

Get any temps?

5 un-interupted picture chain

woot?



So anyways, there you have it, the media center rig, pretty much finished, i will be keeping the IDE drive as its what the OS is on, since its W7 RC1, that way i can reinstall OS without having to mess with partitions or any saved media on the 750gb drive (it shows as 698gb)

im also keeping the IDE cable because i got a direct insertion IDE-CF adaptor and it wont fit due to the Blu-Rays size, so i got another that will plug into the IDE cable and give me 2x CF slots per IDE connector used (only need one, but oh well)

Running Windows 7 Beta, Windows 7 media center, and you can see benchmark pics in my other thread: http://forums.d2jsp.org/index.php?showtopic=33399380&f=188




Temp pics are with the benchmarks in my lapping thread, ill move a few of the pics here as well

3 hr prime95 /w .050v drop in bios:

It's totally sexy.

i just wish i had the money for the 65w TDP 2.5ghz triple core Heka( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103683 ) (about 2x the price)
would have gone with the 2.5ghz 65w dual core, but this 95w TDP core was cheaper and i can always underclock/undervolt it

After i bought the 7750 for $65, the 7850 went on sale for $60

FML?
