Epic.... That’s a word I’ll be using a lot over the next week. In a day’s time from having finished writing this article, I’m off to Japan to help tackle 3D Mark Vantage with fellow bencher Matt, aka rdash, and it will be EPIC!

But for now it’s all about the preparation. Matt is concentrating on the motherboard and CPUs. Yes, you read that right, CPUs. You see, this rig is going to utilize the twin socket EVGA SR-2 with two Intel X5680s and four GTX 480 video cards. If it wasn’t enough that it already accounts for six liquid nitrogen containers, there will be one more on the chipset. That is seven containers on one rig, making “Epic” the appropriate word of the week. Read more at TweakTown.
