How I deal with large image files.

[James Shadle]

My home made "Super Computer"

ASUS P5K Deluxe Wireless
Intel E6850 running at 3.95GHZ (going for 4+)
4GB DDR-2 800MHZ running at 1.025 GHZ
Water-cooled with 2 externally mounted radiators.
First cool blows air out, second cool blows air in.
All Stainless Steel Braided Lines.
PNY Nvidia 8600 GTS Video Card, with Valman VF 900 Fan
CD\DVD Burner
Aero Cool Portable Drive Dock / Card Reader
1.5 TB Hard Drives Internal

I use 2 flat panel monitors (still getting used to them) HP w2207 22" wide as my main and HP w1907 19" wide for my tools, etc off to my right.

Microsoft Keyboard and Microsoft "Natural" Wireless Mouse

Very nice mate, but how much was that little baby to build... The thought of water in a PC scares me

[Romy Ocon]

Wow.... cool! But the HD capacities (1.5 & 2.5 GB) look small to me? Or did you mean TB?

[Pete Woods]

Think he means TB

[James Shadle]

Thanks for catching the GB / TB. Did you see what time I posted that?

I have about $2000 including all of the external hard drives.

It seems like it was not that long ago I had a 40MB hard drive and someone said I would never fill that up!

That would probably translate to £2000 over here in ripoff Britain... Preobably a lot more than I would need... Just jealous really :)

Did you clone out the dust bunnies? :)

[JH Tugs]

It's water cooled - no dust bunnies in there! There's no phalanx of fans to suck it in in the first place.

[Christine Hudnall]

My oldest nephew builds his own computers, they are all water cooled and he says he won't ever go back. Keep eye on those temps and nice setup James! :)

I still cool the hard drives, memory and power supply with fans.
A filter on them helps keep the dust down.

You're no fun :-) *grin* It does look remarkably shiny, it has to be said. Is this the 'just built' picture?

[Tim Vidrine]

Nice. Amazing how prices drop so quickly on hardware. I built a computer two years ago for ~$2300 that is almost half of what you have.

No, it is about 6 month old now.
I will once a month take a small vacuum and brush to clean any dust out.

That's dedication - but it looks very well on the diet of care you are giving it. Really nicely put together machine.
