Well the newly installed EVGA SuperNOVA NEX1500 Classified Power Supply finishes this mod off perfectly and i’ve got to say, i think this is as close to perfection i will ever get. Yes there were a couple of issues with the original BIOS on the SR-X board which were quickly ironed out but...

A few pictures of the SR-X system on the Cooler Master booth at the recent Multiplay i46 LAN :cool:

A BIG thanks to Intel and to show my appreciation i thought i'd make them a nice logo for the upcoming iSeries event :cool:

LOL, yes they are, they don't overclock but between the two of them have 32 threads at 3.1GHz :)

Although the EVGA SR-X board supports overclocking, unfortunately Intel E5's are locked so no overclocking with these particular CPU's. The XSPC Raystorm CPU blocks can use any 3mm colour LED but the EVGA Hydro Copper Blocks came with red LEDs as standard which was amazing as i thought they...

Cheers Guys, not even tried clocking yet but the Raystorms are doing a stella job at cooling ;) Well not exactly how i’d envisioned things happening but a few initial teething problems with the BIOS and a bank holiday to contend with meant the chassis painting was delayed and with Computex...

Fluids added........time to hit the GO button :)

I couldn't get the case painted before the bank holiday and neither could i wait to get this up and running but luckily most of the parts that will be getting painted can be removed without too much disruption to the system. Started to hose route the build last night but had a change of heart...

My apologies to all hoping to see a bit of a mod update but i’ve had a few teething problems with the SR-X board – nothing major but as there is very little info out there at this point it was a little trial and error which is very quite time consuming but got their in the end and just want to...

I've got to totally strip the case and get it ready for the painter on Monday but couldn't resist seeing what the bezel and res looked like in place. I've also made some Aurora Red dye to match the logo which looks pretty cool and can be seen better in the Youtube video at the bottom...

Cheers for the feedback:cool: Just quickly had to mount 4 red LEDS to the reverse side to see if the red plexi was going to glow OK and all looks well considering these were taken in day light so should look much better at events where it always tends to be darker.

LOL the laser bit was meant to be a joke – i had an awesome metal work teacher when i was a kid and to this day use an identical cheap £10 Fretsaw with 42 TPI blades which admittedly can be pretty hard to master but once you get the hang of it you can do some neat stuff. It petrifies me when...

Cheers, going for a couple of Xeon E5-2687W's which should be here Monday.

Still waiting on a few parts to arrive so decided to crack out the laser guided fret saw and make a new bezel for the reservoir complete with the EVGA X logo that will be back lit so the red edges glow. Started by sticking some red 3mm plexi to an offcut of 1.5mm aluminium then applying the X...

Well with the new EVGA SR-X hitting the retailers, its time for a new build to coincide with the release. My aim is to show off the ridiculously high spec of the new 2011 platform together with a couple of EVGA GTX680 Hydro Copper cards. Due to the massive HPTX form factor, i've decided to...
