I've been gaming a lot lately but i'm more the enthusiasts.
What set ups do you have?
Look a few posts back. I posted my new toys coming in in a few days. I love my fractal arc midi tower. I'm building custom panels for a stealth look on the inside. Its going to look badass with that sabertooth mobo.

Acrylic panels? I want to custom fit a panel over the basement of my 900D case. I've seen it done, just haven't looked into what tools and materials I'd need.

Easy
Order acrylic off Amazon
Tool List:
1. Circular Saw
2. Dremil w/ cutting and buffing attachments
3. Fiberglass Polish
That is all.

Sheet metal. I'm boxing in the case so all you see is the mobo and sleeved wiring. I use poster board as templates to design the panels and then bring them to a sheet metal shop to cut them out. Paint em' flat black with a rattle can and bam. Screw them in place. The side panel I may have to send out to be cut by this place called pulse modding in the UK. They custom CNC side panels for windows for a perfect cut.
You wouldn't know anyone local that can cut my side panel windows out with a CNC machine?

You in BR? A friend of mine recommended J & C Machine Works a while back for another project a while back when I was considering getting some powder coating work done. I would imagine they have a CNC machine, but I don't know.

I am disappoint... I was looking into getting 780s, but I can only do 2-way SLI on z77

Buy you a mobo with PLX. What's another couple hundred bucks if you're going to get 3 780s?

2way TIs is good enough!

But I may get two 780s (780ti too expensive right now), and may add one later. I really want the 290, but Im not waiting for the nonref cooler models

In this case... it kind of is.
The only game I couldn't run steady 60 @ 1440 with everything turned up was Last Light. With the latest driver update 2 days ago, i'm now getting 60fps.
The third TI will let me run games without any OC. I'm more than happy about not having to run my fans pass 900RPMs.

So, something odd happened today. I'm now getting 80-90% GPU usage on both GPUs. Game is running smooth now. Still requires more GPU power than this game deserves, but I'm able to run with these settings now:
This is in havana. Not sure if things will go to shite later, but I'm ok with it for now. I am using RadeonPro now, but only for dynamic Vsync.
EDIT: I didn't update any drivers (there are no new drivers yet), so I'm wondering if there was an update today. Or maybe I closed something that was interfering (I was still running all of my project files and citrix apps for work).

Would anyone be interested in the following parts?
- MSI TF3 7970
- MSI Mpower
- Asus P8Z77-V Deluxe with PLX chip
- i7 3770k
- Rosewill Fortress 750w PSU
- EVGA 780 (Maybe)
I want to move back to x79 with a 3930k or 4820k

I swear to god blue...

Why would you choose between 3930K and 4820K?
Those 3820/4820K chips are shtt compared to 3770K/Z77 and 4770K/Z87. The X79 chipset is sooo outdated. If you aren't buying a 6C/12T chip, get an i7 IB/HW.
EDT:
I also want the MPower back if you sell.
Might buy another 3770K and use for a better test rig.

Still in Havana huh?
Just wait until you are FORCED to take out other ships. The swells seem monstrous and soooo unrealistic.
We live in SE LA and most of us off shore fish, we know what regular swells and storm swells look like. I wasn't even in a storm and seemed to be trucking in 10-12ft seas.

I wonder if the 4820k is a better overclocker. But either way, I'd only choose socket 2011 if I could afford the 6-core.
