Promethus Rebuild

Hi

 

This is going to be the rebuild of my secondary/workstation rig, that I currently call Prometheus.

Here is the old spec of the rig before the rebuild:

 

CPU: Core i5 2500K

MoBo: Asus P8Z68-v Pro Gen3

RAM: 16GB DDR3 Avexir 2400MHz

GPU: 2* EVGA GTX 580

Boot SSD: 2* Samsung 840 120GB RAID0

Primary Storage: 1TB WD Black

Backup: 2* 1TB WD RE2 Raid1

Scratch Disk and Project Storage: 3* WD Velociraptor 300GB RAID0

RAID Card: Adaptec 3805

Fan Controller: Aquacomputer Aquaero 5 Pro

PSU: Corsair HX750W

Case: Fractal Design Define R4

 

Here are some pictures of cleaning and tidying the empty case:

 

 

 

 

Here is all the hardware that will be re-used in the rebuild:

 

2*EVGA GTX 580

 

16GB Avexir DDR3 2400MHz

 

Avermedia Live Gamer HD

 

Adaptec 3805 RAID Card

 

Corsair HX 750W

 

 

The case is all clean and tidy now:

 

 

I will be doing more posts once the old parts sell and I can start to buy and install the new parts.

It's not a good idea to put computer components on carpet btw. Looking forward to this build and it's nice to see some slightly older GPUs. No need to upgrade every gen or two
