Water-cooled photo workstation finally broke up
- 2009-12-28
- Categorized in: Computers and Software
I built a powerful workstation to process raw photo files from nikon D3 camera last year. Major features about this workstation are:
1. 2 x intel xeon 2500 process
2. 16 GB DDR2 800 DIMM
3. ATI radeon HD 4870 1 gb video card
4. Kolance water-cooled system.

I assembled the system all by myself and it has been running very well, prossing thousands of nikon D3 raw files with adobe lightroom 2.0.
Well maybe all good things come to an end. Recently I found that there was coolant leaking in one of the devices on one memery stick and the system started to crash. I never had system crash sincere I used Windows 7. So now I will have to use my Christmas vacation time to fix the system. I do not know how much time I have to spend on this thing but I just have to do it otherwise I will not have anything powerful enough to process my photos.
