You have got to wait for the 3970x just in case it may be much better, I know it's a week or two but it will fly past with all you have on your plate.

Project is looking awesome mate, can't wait to see it finished.

Where do you purchase your Di-Noc from?

[rossi94]

Looks very nice will the graphics cards recieve backplates? And about the cables - thought about cutting the connectors and crimp them yourself to the fitting lenght and include a little controll + power board for all the fans behind the sidepanel?

Like this one?

Hey!

I just had an idea for your logo! (That Curlyriff drew on page 10)
You can always take out all buttons except the original start button (maybe take out/not connect the LED's)

Then, you can take the logo/emblem and attach it to the power button using some sort of double sided tape or glue (depends on the material of the tribute really). I have a Trooper here and looking at it, the power button is a little higher than the rest of that section with the buttons, but it's still lower than the area around the buttons section (Kind of hard to explain, hope you know what I mean D

In that case, the emblem will fit in the section just fine, you don't need to get a new start button, you can keep the little PCB thingy where it's supposed to be, and to turn on the system all you have to do is press the Orca!

Not sure if you'll like this idea but I think it'd be pretty cool to have the Orca be the thing that powers up the system as the Orca symbolises your mother (the tribute) and from what you said in your video's she's the one that "powered up" your carreer and life

...Just a thought

The 3970x has just been released in Australia Tom have you got yours yet and if so is it getting better results than your 3960x?

 

[AverageNinja]

Are you sure mate? On the intel website the 3970x release date stands for Q4 2012. But nothing about it being released already
http://ark.intel.com/products/70845/Intel-Core-i7-3970X-Processor-Extreme-Edition-15M-Cache-3_50-GHz

 

[Curlyriff]

Well Cyberpower are also selling machines with the 3970X on both US & UK sites.

Intel also stated a mid November release which by all accounts they have stuck too.

Scan, Overclockers and PC World business have them in stock.
