That's a premium build, man. Very similar in design philosophy to something I have planned:
P5NE32-SLI -or- Asus Striker Extreme
Pentium D 965 3.73 GHz
2x 7900 GTXJust barely one step back from your build, but a world of difference in terms of CPU and GPU architectures. Would be interesting to compare benchmarks 😀
I would like to have an Extreme Edition Pentium-D 965, I only have normal Pentium-D 950/945 but I never seem to find a 965 for a fair price.
I will have to use 7800 256MB GTX SLI for my 2005 build, I have plenty of those.
I finally got the time to install another 8800 GTX for SLI today!
Getting SLI up and running was not as strait forward as I would have hoped as the Asus card pictured above in the thread was dead. I dug deeper in the treasure boxes and found another Asus and an Inno3d card. The second Asus card was just as broken as the first but the Inno3d card was working.
Here is a picture showing all the cards.
