Excalibur is built!

[DrPop]

With many thanks to the following team mates, Excalibur is crunching on full power as of this evening! :cool:
Mr. Hankey for giving me initial GPUs to "do something" with (did some horse trading and that made this possible!). >:D<
Zombie67 for the spectacular deal on the Big Bang Marshall setup. ^:)^
Scartx's friend Shawn for the nice deal on a set of 5850s.:-bd
FourOh for the awesome deal on the second set of 5850s. **==

It is the MSI Big Bang Marshall B3 edition motherboard with an i7 3770K and four HD 5850s in the Thor V2 case, powered by "old faithful" the BFG 1KW PSU. :o

A few pics of the rig, and please click for larger view if they show up as thumbnails on here.

Very nice DrPop, I was sure you would stay with us till the end, We all have time for retirement after we are dead.

I think I just felt the earth's rotation slow by about 1/10th of a second per day when you flipped that one on. ;)

Very nice rig. Pentathlon ready !

It looks like it is big enough that you could hook up water cooling to it and help my boiler for next winter. Free heat would be nice after this winter.

Very Nice. Maybe if I had a machine like that, more new forum members would be taking me up on my offers. :)

Nice DrPop! You've got that case packed full. How does it do on MOO! :D

[YoDude9999]

WELL! Now I know how DrPop is so rapidly getting closer to passing me on the stat page. You guys are starting to make me feel kinda useless 'round here with all your high falootin' rigs and such.

Looks like I'm gonna have to put a few more coals in the fire to keep you boys at bay and work my way back up the ladder.

Oh yeah, Nice rig ya got there Dr! Just remember, Summer is coming and that rig is gonna throw a lot of heat.

[DrPop]

Thanks everyone. :o I was given a lot of help with "more than good" deals from team mates who were upgrading, and I realize that's the only way I could have put together such a rig at this time. Yes, to be honest I do not know how much GPU running I will get to do this summer. Hopefully it's not a scorcher, never know. But at the very least she's ready in time for the Pentathlon. :D

Nice machine! Congrats on getting it all together and working!
