I recognize the Flying Dutchman. What are the others?
How much Is that quad set up with gimble?? What camera are you using? Battery life?
I play the violin and viola, and I've played professionally since I was 14 years old. My first paying job was in the back-up orchestra for the Moody Blues.
Right now I have a grown-up job, so the music is my other hobby.
I'm secretly a computer nerd, more so for just the fun of having a fast PC and building something unique, not so much gaming. I used to game, but I'd much rather be outside shooting or in the reloading room, so I only fiddle around with it now and then. I use it for work almost every day. Most people would be surprised how much money you can save by building your own computer, and it's not all that difficult.
Specs for all the computer nerds:
i7 3770k overclocked to 4.8ghz
Asus Maximus V Formula Mobo
GTX 670 superclocked, 4gb
16gb G.Skill Ram, 1866
Two SSDs, one data drive
AX1200 power supply
water cooling loop runs through the mobo, cpu, gpu. running dual MCP-35X pumps, dual radiators (360x50 up top, and 240x60 down below, both in push-pull config with Cougar PWM fans), and most of the fittings are compression fittings by Bitspower or Alphacool
And finally, NZXT Switch 810
Haha until you get into the enthusiast side of it. I'm specing a loop right now that is well over 600$ not to mention just dropped 510$ on a 780 classy + waterblock. It's cool to see another PC nerd here though. 670 could use some OCing
Did you delid your 3770k? I haven't pushed mine yet but hopefully I don't run into any heat problems because the goal is 4.5ghz at the least.
But yeah right now having a hard time deciding between acrylic or regular tubing. I honestly don't want to have to go through the work of bending the acrylic though they tell me it's not too hard.

Having been a gearhead all my life... I remember, as a teenager, buying the Dec. 1981 issue of Hot Rod Magazine. It had a red Camaro on the cover. It had an article saying that with the introduction of computers into cars, the era of hot-rodding was probably over. Well, maybe it made sense at the time. But the reality is that cars are being hot-rodded with computers... and computers are being hot-rodded like cars.
Love the above pictures.... and the way you guys are doing real hacking... the hardware kind (vs. malicious little viruses and stuff.)
Thanks for posting Blackops and Afate. Those pictures and 'builds' are beyond cool!
Cheers,

Blackops 2, combine the two. If you haven't already, check out Aim Points smart rifle. Rifle and wi-fi ready scope. Seems perfect for you.
I'm running an Asus VG248QE at 120hz. It goes to 144 but for some reason when I'm running 144hz power play won't work on my 7970 and my memory clock remains 1575, temps raise a little and my fan profile kicks in and it gets loud. I didn't know that Asus was producing 1440p 120hz panels. Hell I didn't even think there were that many TN 1440p panels. I know IPS is preferred for most but I love a good ole calibrated TN panel. 120hz is awesome there is no going back IMO.
I'm actually looking at the swiftech MCP655 for my pump granted it's a D5 variant IIRC.
Right now the 780 classy + Ek block will be here tomorrow, I've got a swiftech quiet edition 360 rad, four sp120 quiet editions.
Still have fittings, res, bitspower cpu block, some more 120mm rads, mayhems pastel, and their radiator cleaning kit to get. Sometimes I regret my purchase of my 800D I'll have to mod it to put a 240mm in the bottom. Should've gone with a 750D or the switch 810. For the res/pump I'm going with the bitspower 150 upgrade kit with an acrylic top and as I said the swiftech. Hopefully I don't run into any plasticizer issues.
I'm a pretty slow overclocker less it comes to GPUs and benching. I like pushing my GPUs. Before I settled on a single 120hz display I was wanting quadfire 7970s and a triple portrait setup of 120hz mentors debezeled the works. I can't afford to maintain a rig like that though.
This is a work of art ha. But he was running a 3930k @ 5.0 and quad sli titans on a chilled loop ha.

dmike. If you're reading. It is Tracking Point. My bad in saying Aim Point. Must of had my head up my ---. Any way, do a search 'Smart Rifle'. It will (should) get you all the info you need.
Sorry about the screw up.
Wow...the mods to that Switch 810 are crazy. I've taken a dremel to a case before, but not to the extent of that guy! Very sleek and well put together. The 800D is a good case, but more so if you plan to extensively mod it. I like the Switch 810, but you should have seen how many f-bombs I dropped when trying to fit the 240 rad next to the AX1200 PSU...it's hard to see in the pics I posted, but we're talking like 1.5 inches of space between the PSU and radiator. Making matters worse, you can't install the cables in the back of the PSU and then install the PSU into the case...I had to do it once the PSU was in, which made it 10x as difficult. I just happened to have a long PSU and long radiator. PSUs like the 1050 should fit MUCH better.
If you ever want to talk overclocking CPU/GPU, send me a PM. Your build sounds really nice, let me know how it works out. I had a MCP 655 and it took a shit on me after about a year (I wouldn't be concerned if I was you, this is way outside the norm)...I just happened to be sitting next to my computer when I got a temp notice at 80 degrees, realized my computer was extremely quiet (too quiet), so I shut everything down right away. The pump just died out of nowhere, in a loop that had been running just fine for over a year. After that, I got paranoid and purchased the dual 35x setup to ensure that doesn't happen again. A little overkill, but I like it so far.
Also, let me know how the dye works out for you. I run colored tubing with distilled + primochill liquid ultra biocide. Running 2 years strong now, no issues. I made 1 full tear-down of every block about a year ago to check on things, and the blocks were spotless. I change my water every 4 months or so, and with my drain tube setup, it only takes about 20 minutes.
Restoring these... They're cheap when you buy them in boxes and jars.

I quit smoking cigarettes ( which im very proud of myself for). However I did it using a vapor pen (e-cig), and WOW that is a interesting hobby. Their is alot you can build, so thats what I've been doing.
Didn't realize how many cave, wreck, and free divers there were here. Pretty cool.
I love white water. It gives me a stiffie!
A few years ago I started building a Lotus 7 from scratch, not a Locost but a real 7 based on the DSK7 built in Mass. many years ago. Frame is done, but got distracted along the way. Its currently hanging from the rafters in the barn. I should really put it in the garage and get it finished.
