    Very nice work.
    Love the lighting scheme.

    Next week I will be posting a new entry myself and passing my current rig to my wife.

    I like the Thermalbake Bigwater. Pro-gear right there.

    For anyone who cares, the thing I trolled on page one was a car cigarette lighter mod. Take advantage of those 12V rails!

    Well, I have quite good rig atm, 2*GTX285, i7 920 @ 4,4GHz, watercooling... Cable management and case are horrible tough so I'm not going to enter before I can get those fixed (don't expect this to happen in few months tough).

    Just saying, prolly that rig will win if it has good case and you can do some cable management. Good specs alone are not worth ROTM :)

    I'm gonna build one here in the next couple weeks. Not going to use the top of the top parts, but planning on doing a lot of nice work to it. Might keep the case I have now, seeing at how beautiful it is.

    Im guessing that mine is classed as unique, down to the fact that it is.

    Well case wise, there isnt another one the same......

    But until i can get some hardware in it, i guess its not gonna count?

    Artwork soon though i guess..

    Dam, will be upto around £2800 just for case.

    No wonder i cant put anything in it.

    But as you say, not down to cost of hardware, if it goes by work put in, then ive got a chance i guess.

    But even if it doesent, i still end up with a unique case, unless i decide to produce it of course.

    I've seen your work Pablo, if you get hardware in it it'll be a nice rig. :D I'd vote for you!

    Thanks Vbetts,
    I think im pretty unlucky, cost lots, never got sponsors etc etc, on min wage job etc etc..

    Violins out... he he.

    But has been fun doing unique stuff.

    But like to see all you guys doing stuff.

    I'm guessing the standard will be much higher this year since OCZ are sponsoring and Prizes are involved ;)

    I'll be perfecting my rig in a couple of weeks, hope to be in with a chance!

    Rig-Of-The-Month Potential?

    Avid team reader here and hoping for some good feedback on proposed rig. Curious to know what you all think of component decisions for the following build? I'll apologize in advance if I should be posting elsewhere, but if worthy, I'll be submitting build pics for Rig-Of-The-Month.

    Please keep in mind; I intend to maximize options to add memory, upgrade video card and CPU, convert to H2O, add external backup, add SSD and HDD, add Blu-Ray and second monitor in 6-9 months depending on a number of circumstances.

    LIAN LI PC-P80 Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower
    Intel i7-920 CPU
    Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound, (AS5-3.5G)
    CORSAIR Cooling Hydro Series CWCH50 CPU Cooler
    EVGA X58 E760 Classified Motherboard EATX 12” x 10.375”
    BFG Tech BFGEGTX275896OCE GeForce GTX 275 896MB 448-bit GDDR3
    OCZ Agility EX Series 2.5” 60GB SATA II SLC SSD
    CORSAIR XMS3 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666)
    CORSAIR CMPSU-1000HX 1000W Power Supply Unit
    2X Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB
    Sony AD-7240S-0B DVD Burner
    Windows 7 Ultimate Full
    Nippon Labs Delux 3.5" Internal All In One Card Reader/Writer
    Auzentech X-Fi HomeTheater HD Card With Creative I/O Drive Upgrade Kit
    Logitech Z-5500 505 Watts 5.1 Speakers
    Logitech G500 10 Buttons Dual-mode Scroll Wheel USB Wired Laser 5700 dpi Gaming Mouse
    Logitech G19 Black 104 Normal Keys USB Wired Standard Gaming Keyboard
    Dell UltraSharp 3008WFP 30-inch Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor with Height Adjustable Stand
    APC BACK-UPS RS 1500VA LCD 120V

    I also just wanted to mention that I have a 6k USD budget which is maxed out with this config based on current retail prices. Intel NIC option I would choose does not offer Win 7 driver support. Trying to look to the future potential upgrades without sacrificing wherever possible; specifically, CPU and Video cards in future. SSD would be primary with 8GB OS footprint and 2X 1TB drives would operate as RAID mirror for storage data. Adding a second video card until DX11 options increase is always an option and I'd love to upgrade OPAMPS on sound card in future as well.
