Full Name: Robert De Luce Country: Bradford, UK Handle:DELUCE
Robert recently sent us a note from his home across the pond in the United Kingdom, asking NVIDIA to consider him for the SLI Rig of the Month. As you can see, Robert has great reason to be proud of his SLI-powered PC - it's big and beautiful.
While his case and water-cooling components look pretty, his hardware is nothing less than top rate: Robert equipped his rig with 2 XFX GeForce 7800 GTX graphics cards (over clocked out of the box), and an AMD FX-57 64-bit processor. That's 718 million transistors of kick-ass power!
Robert goes to extra lengths to ensure that his rig stays cool, utilizing not one, but TWO pumps and reservoirs for this water cooling. And he ensures low temperatures with NINE 120mm fans! All this hardware goes to great use powering the 2.3 million pixels on his 24-inch Dell LCD.
Game on, Robert!
