I don't even know.  A lot.  There's 4 sitting on my desk.  9 in my main rig.  Two in each laptop.  One or two in every computer in the house.  We'll find one for him if he runs out of space.  

 

 

Thanks bud.

 

I fixed the links.

 

 

I feel like I am.  My kids keep me that way.  I take care of them, they take care of me.  Our system works. 

 

I'll pass on the greetings.  

DAMN lol. at east 15 youve got there

Believe it or not, I actually like them better than my cars and computers.  

 

 

Thanks and holy shit!!  That kind of thinking will break the bank!

 

Seriously though, I could see hooking each up with a 1080 from my current build when I upgrade myself to a Titan XP SLI or 1080 Ti SLI.  

 

 

I plan to keep a real close eye on him.

 

 

His build will remain in his room so that might be one awkwardly long tube.   

 

I've got enough WC parts on hand to build him a nice small loop, but I want to get him started with the basics.  This gives us some follow on projects in the future.

So you have more than 1 kid I guess

About GTX 1080 ... I know that you will upgrade your GPUs in next few months (when 1080 Ti comes out), so you can either sell those 1080s for some cheap money or give them to your kids.

Since you have only 2 GPUs, only two kids will be happy

 

GTX 1080 is like 600$ new, so you would be seeling used ones for like 400$? That's a great card and I wouldn't want to sell it for that cheap so I would rather give it to my kid if I had one.

 

I do belive you have more than enough parts for water cooling, so no problems there.

Yeah, I'll definitely hook them up before selling them off.  I need to start repurposing my parts more and this will help.  The oldest one wants a gaming laptop so no need for a 3rd GPU.

As soon as I'm convinced that he's got a good grasp on basic computing, me and the little guy will be hooking his rig up!

 

My parents just bought him an Asus 24" 1080p monitor as their Christmas gift to him so he's in for a big surprise when he gets all of this stuff.

When you get a chance to read through the thread you'll see that all of this has been addressed.  Thanks for your feedback though.
