Here you go then lads. Something you've all been waiting for:
(pardon my pics, taken on my phone)
THE FINAL PRODUCT:
(with some little buildy bits in it, I shall move the nice pics to the Rig gallery later after some sleep)
Le Case out of le box
The side panel (which I know doesnt say the correct html addy but hey)
Everything sprawled out on the bed
Checking the mobo and rad fitted where i wanted them ( I thought having the rad on the front like that would draw a nice amount of air into the case, and it does)
The most advanced shot of the day, Had to do some filing to the holes for the rad mounts as the powder coating had added some thickness and also the screws were wider. Took about 10 seconds
The rad fitted fine, leaving plenty of space and allowing good air movement. (im sure someones going to say otherwise but IT WORKS FOR ME!)
I did mount the pump at the bottom to begin with as i bought a pump mount but i didnt end up using it so i just chucked the bloody thing in the drive bay area and screwed it into place. ( dont complain about my lazyness but its honestly the only place i could think of installing it and the screws are hidden when the side panel is on)
A nice shot of some thermal paste, just getting ready to mount the water block
I had to find an ideal place to mount the res. HAD NO CREATIVITY TODAY!!! NONE! NADA!! DIDDLEY SQUAT!!! Only place i could think of was to slap it on the back where the 120mm fan was meant to sit. Sod having an exhaust fan.( The case is back to front in case some of you are thinking "UH?!?!?!?!")
Anyhoos. Did that ( got bored of taking pics, sorry but im really rather lazy at the best of times), slapped some tubing in and leak tested.
THEN i got really bored of taking pics, didnt think taking pics of how to hide wires would be interesting so i just finished it and took some pics.
All done and dusted. I added some of those coils too which Marcus ( My new ebay) got for me along with one hell of a load of goodies.
Marcus this wouldnt have been possible without you so a HUGE shoutout to you bud.
Anyways. What you guys think?
