DIY Desktop Computers Finishing Touches - Two graphics cards

I was able to pick this card up for super cheep.

As you previously saw, I had a GTX 750 Ti FTW. It was good but it wasn't great. I decided to use this card which had twice the pixel fill rate as the primary card and, using the nvidia control panel, configured the 750 Ti as a dedicates PhysX processor which should speed physics up significantly from the CPU.

Its kind of tricky to configure it so I will get some details soon!

DIY Desktop Part 9 - Push Pull Radiator

Okay so I put in a push pull system finally. Unfortunately  I can no longer adjust the fan speed with NZXT's CAM software however temps look better and the rig looks better.

 Sorry for the low quality pictures again.

DIY Desktop Computer Part 8 - CPU and RAM

Sorry for the fuzzy pics, don't have DSLR right now. Got the CPU and RAM today and installed them. Don't give me an earful about the Pentium also. I'm getting an i7/Xeon soon but want to see how far I can overclock this cheep one.

DIY Desktop Computer Part 7 - Install NZXT CPU Cooler

Today I installed my Kraken x31 CPU cooler. It is not self explanatory so if I were you, I would go to www.nzxt.com/manuals/krakenx31 which has a very comprehensive guide on installing the cooler. This one looks great in the case to. I did not know this but the software that comes with it will allow you to customize the color of the logo on the actually pump. I'm doing mine red (imagine that).
