Project “Halcyon”

Third build in three years. I was able to pick up an Intel i7 860 for cheap.. and that led to everything else. I was thinking of a name after I finished my Fall exams for college before break and Halcyon came up — which means “calm, peaceful, tranquil.”

Not sure if I’ll make this a completly new build with new case and PSU, but this will suffice to give me something to play with for the time being.

——————————————————————————–

Intel i7 860
EVGA P55 FTW
Corsair Dominator (CMD4GX3M2A1600C8)
Prolimatech Megahalems + 2x Scythe SFF21G

And some older hardware from my previous build:
EVGA GTX 260
Corsair VX550W
Western Digital 500 Blue / 1 TB Black

Picture of everything new in box.

Starting off with the EVGA P55 FTW motherboard. First layer contains the usual cabling. We have a SLI cable, ECP V2 for overclocking, SATA cables along with molex->SATA.

EVGA anti static wrap?

Second layer contains the drivers CD, motherboard manual, visual guide, and IO shield.

Motherboard! Looks really good. :)

DO NOT EAT

Wonder what is here.. One. Two. Three. Four.

CPU, RAM, and Megahalems to follow!
