I call it my SLI-PC, spare PC, or the Rebuild PC. Rebuild, of course is inspired by the Rebuild of Evangelion movie series. It’s made up of mostly second-hand parts with some bought brand new. Specs are tabulated below:

I think it’s complete as I want it. I’m satisfied not like when it was in the HAF 922 that I have to sell soon.
The cooling seems better with more fans and the look is definitely cleaner. The problem I’ve had with this are the pretty random hangs. I hope it’s a loose connection issue I’ve resolved. If not, well, let the debugging continue.
Used parts with some new ones, it’s cost me around PHP 27,000.00. I need a pair of usb powered speakers and I think i know where I’ll get them. Soon, hopefully, so I can have another geeky sense of achievement. Oh, and the AVR, I keep forgetting that I have to get the one I bought repaired/warrantied and return the one I “borrowed” from the office.
