After a long wait my preliminary machine is finished. Due to what i can only describe as false advertising issues whereby products were listed as released yet not available anywhere I lost patience and settled for the P5N32 Sli SE Delux mobo and a pair of 7900gt's. When nVidia and Asus get there aces into gear and release the real 590's with C55 chipset and dx10 gpu's come out ill upgrade but for now this is doing a great job!

I can, with out a doubt, recommend the guys at Matrix Warehouse (Bracken Gardens) if you are wanting a machine built or individual parts, they helped tremendously and prices could not be beaten by any other retailer.

I got some good scores with no overclocking on 3dmark06 (7882), Super Pi (18sec 1M score) and with the LCS havn't seen CPU temp go higher than 31C

System Spec:

Kandalf LCS
Corsair XMS2 2x1gb 6400
Intel E6600
Asus P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe
2x xfx 7900GT
2x250gb hdd raid 0
700W Toughpower PSU
Asus 19" PG191

Monitor Link:

Both i think were overkill and pushed up the bill quite substantially, prolly could have saved at least 5k if i had gone with something thats been on the market a little longer.

Matrix Warehouse is all over the place now they seem to be growing at an astronomical rate.

Personally i think their site needs some work, something alittle more flashy might get more attention.

Thanks for the compliments on the machine :)
 
Vewy nice... But... What's the point of 2 Graphics cards if you only have 1 screen...... Those can handle 2 monitors each, so you should be sporting 4 Monitors atleast...!!!...

SLI duh!! :p

I never liked the Thermaltake range of cases, they are way too expensive and I'm more of a Coolermaster person, but the Kandalf is a nice case. :)
 
Very nice. esp Asus PG191. That's a great display there, the sound is better than I expected, really neat stuff you bought. :D
 
that is officially the coolest case I have ever seen! It has all the things I'd want in my own case!!!

How much was it man?!??!
 
Case price ranged from 2400 to 3440, complete machine including monitor keyboard mouse etc etc ended up int he late 20's. Got a fair amount of stuff i didn't really need :D
