Good PC ... with the SLi In recent days in the apartment was completed assembling a PC from excellent, with an average cost and with high quality components. Particularly interesting is the video section. Here is a picture of the interior
:
The configuration includes the following pieces:
- Antec P182 Case
- MSI P6N SLI Platinum Mobo with 1333MHz FSB and chipset nForce 650i SLi
- Processor Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4 Ghz
- Ram 2Gb DDR2 800Mhz Kingmax
- 2 Gigabyte GeForce 8600 GTS Silent Pipe 3 Fanless
- Passive Heatsink Noctua NH-U 12 with additional fan NF S-12
- 4 Hd
of various sizes - 2 DVD recorders Philips

The configuration is complete, stood at around € 1200 and no particular bottlenecks.
With the latest games that take advantage of the 'Unreal Engine 3
(p.es
Medal of Honor: Airborne ) the difference in frame rates between the SLI and non-SLi is almost imperceptible to the naked eye. The investment of the two video cards is made mostly thinking about the future.
This system has the distinction of being almost completely silent, as most of the components they use a heat dissipation of the passive type: the two video cards, the northbridge, the southbridge chipset and processor. On
Noctua , which is responsible for cooling the CPU, was also installed an additional fan even if the operating temperatures were very "polar" (50 ° C in summer and below maximum effort).
The great houses of trusted Antec (useful goodies like the adjustable fan, toolbox and washable dust filters) is sound proof side panels, hard drives are mounted on vibration, as well as fans houses and the heat sink, providing a further reduction of noise.
