That is a beautiful system you built. And it's using one of my favorite motherboards too. How's the heat with the two 8800 gtxs? I have a system with one and it can get kinda warm depending on what games I'm playing

i added screenshot from 3dmark 2006 to previous post. i tried to just add to this post but, i got some warning about "reaction posts" not allowed.

Not sure how I missed that but the temps are quite good for the space heaters we have as graphics cards. That system must preform quite well

The second 775 SLI build in less then a week! I'm liking this new trend 😀
e-nForcer ( Core 2 Quad Q9550, GTX 280 SLI,EVGA 790i FTW)

Also like populating fan bays even if its more just to add character to the case then for the airflow
Usually a theme, Red for the Hot P4, Purple PPro (triple P) My blue rig a dual P3 is because its cool and not just because, honest

after browsing old stacker 832 builds online, i noticed most of them either had no fans in the door or they had 3 out of 4. this is due to height issues it creates when you populate all the door fans.
just for its over the top look, i really wanted to make sure i had all the door fans populated.
oh, and it's loud as hell of course.

can the 832 take the cross flow fan?

i'm not sure i understand your question.

It's a column-type fan that can be fitted on the swinging door thing instead of two of the regular fans. I know the 830 can take one but wasn't sure about the 832.

Yes, the 832 can take it, but -

Okay, I remember seeing that in the manual and not knowing what it was.

i finally found the origins of the chassis. project war machine https://web.archive.org/web/20070914141835/ht … .com/gaming.htm

and here https://books.google.com/books?id=NgIAAAAAMBA … machine&f=false

it appears to be a failed oem that existed very briefly. looks like my specs were spot on for this chassis. unfortunately , there are no manuals or software in the archive.

but, i did find some super cool wall paper. neato!!!

Thanks for that bit of info. I wish I had gotten 2 of those chassis instead of just the one.

i was originally going to use the 8800 ultra's but, after receiving the 4th dead card i gave up. finding 2 EVGA 8800 GTX ACS3 made this decision easier as those cards are pretty awesome too.

A little tweaking and a 8800 GTX becomes a 8800 Ultra, there is almost nothing between the two cards IIRC the 8800GTX also has the better solder, which as we all know shit solder is the reason the 8800 ultras fail but bake them in a hot oven and they come back to life usually.
