Ultimate COD RIG MK II - Major Upgrade Underway - Quad GTX580, 990X, 1500W PSU

[FS~Phat]

Small update... still waiting on a whole bunch of things but I have started on the sleeving.... Massive job.
This is the main piece of work though here!
Man what a head spin!!
At least the worst part of tracing them is done!






And another side project to keep me gaming with decent FPS while I finish the main system build.

Dont know if any of you have seen these before.
I've been researching this before and its now become a much simpler process.

Its an external express card to PCIE adapter.

Designed for engineer testing of PCIE devices.
Im going to use it for gaming on my VAIO Z128 laptop with an external GTX580! How cool is that!
The integrated GT330M just isnt cutting it for some of the stuff I want to play, and when I go away for the weekend to our family holiday house I can just pack the Lappy, adaptor, Powersuppply and I can play all my games at 60FPS+

Here's an example pretty much of the setup as i will have it too. He has the exact same lappy as me known as a Z117 in other countries.

With the Nvidia Optimus driver you get compression and upto 70% of the performance of a full 16x PCIE slot.

Nvidia are currently developing (and probably ATI too, though not confirmed) external GPU for thunderbolt port which is electrically equivalent of a PCIE 2.0 x4. These will come out on next gen PC's and laptops. Sony have already released their version for their laptops.
