What are the specs? Im so glad you asked
Cooling Method: Water (Liquid Cooling using a non-conductive coolant for peace of mind*) also my first water build comp
CPU: Quadcore 2.4ghz Q6600 (on water can overclock this as high as 3.8Ghz at still rather low temps)
Mainboard: Asus P5E
Video Card: Geforce 8800GTS 512mb *G92* which has more power then the GTX for less price but has less memory making the GTX better for shaders at higher resolutions thats bout it *as this is watercooled it will be overclocked*
Memory: 8GB of DDR2 - for 3d rendering and so vista has nuff ram to do whatever the hell it does with RAM
OS: Vista 64bit (i know its vista but with this much ram and processing power it makes little difference and 64bit is alot more widely supported now so i made the move)
4 X 500GB Hard Drives which I will be running in RAID for higher HD performance getting a proper RAID controller for this as onboard mainboard ones suck.
Case: Stacker 832
Extras: Green UV reactive Coolant, UV LEDS, Red LEDs, pimping out the case to be a Liquid Tiberium Cooled Nod Computer

will be spraying case with some dark red areas constrasting with its black and put some Nod Decals on it in Red. Has some fans for case airflow thats it, rest is all watercooled, also put fans over the RAM so i can overclock the RAM.
Monitor: 24inch Samsung 245T Wide - has HDMI support and a 97% color gamut the COLOR is amazing! its so bright and vivid, desktop, movies, games all look incredible and resolution of 1920X1200 is awesome

. Screen can also be rotated 90 degrees.
Speakers: Z5500 Logitech THX Speakers - awesome surround sound will be getting a Xi Fi Extreme Card most likely to drive it to bring the audio quality to crystal clear.
Its currently operational on air I got the last of the watercooling parts i needed recently so I will be taking it apart to install this and then its complete, I built it on air first to test the parts make sure i had no DOA's. What inspried watercooling was my old comp dieing off due to overheating issues so I went over board this time

its also going to be very quiet awesome stuff. An expensive rig but worth every penny I love it, I figured id go all out as im very serious about game development and 3d rendering so it was time I got a damn nice rig for that very purpose.
I'll post pics up when its fully finished being built.
With this rig it certainly increases the speed and quality I can produce work for TSR for, its alot more then what i need which is perfect the speed is already amazing on air i cant wait to see it on water overclocked. This means higher quality renders, nice HIGH Res screenshots

and I'm sure theres many benefits yet to come.
And dont worry I'll be testing this on lesser machines as I develop the modification to ensure I aint developing for high end users only as I do want quite low end machines to be able to play still quite easily just like C&C3 supports rather low end machines.
