[Eguy]

[bloodthirst]

[Eguy]

Update 3 - Case

Well here are some shots of my case... I know you guys will like the top

Mobo and Shuttle comming tomoz will be doing some work

Ordered Ram and rest of stuff, shall be here next week (damn thanksgiving)

Will update as progress goes on

 

[WC Annihilus]

Holy shit now i see why you wanted that case!

 

[FragTek]

I love how everyone bashes the best case ever made until they get some nice pictures of it. My next build consists of the same case.

I must say Eguy, it looks like it's coming together quite well! I love the SX etching on the top window, that is SLICK! Also love the AMD / nVidia etching.

Did you get enough fans for the radiator for a push/pull config? I only saw enough for one side, you need to pick up 3 more for the other side mate. That will give you maximum performance

Very Nice Eguy!!

 

[WC Annihilus]

Must... Kill... Eguy... and... take... rig...

 

[Eguy]

Cheers mates

Yup frag, got 6 Panaflo M's (you would not think I would use those shitty fans for the rad would you? ) Got the rest of my stuff minus the ram today some pics too! Started my initial loop BTW Logi G7 Simpley pwns all and so does the Cordless Rumblepad 2 I recommend... REALLY recommend getting both of those if your shopping for a mouse and gamepad! Also the iriver H10 20gb pwns too

I Finished my shuttle build too, put pics in that topic

 

[FragTek]

Lookin' good as hell mate! Reminds me of my setup, wonder who you took notes from hehe

Can't wait to see the finished product, that mobo looks very yum yum. Might have to get me one.

It's hard to tell in the pictures, but after installing both video cards do you have 2 usable PCI slots?

 

[FarFarAway]

Sweeeeet as mate/ I think I'll have to think about watercooling my rig soon too

Greart pics, sEcksY case and w0ttage w/c :worship:

Yep got 2 free PCI and there is a buch of space in between the GPU's :worship: DFI on this one! it is farther then perfect! 20/10 stars! I can't wait to push that beatch (OC)

 

[FragTek]

I love how much space they've put between the two vid cards... that's superb! Does it looks like you'd have space to mount a chipset block?

 

[Eguy]

Got 100% room for the chip block too bad the morons at DD forgot to include a mounting kit so I can't install till next week!! I will post more pics later

 

[FragTek]

Bahhh, damn em! They gave me the wrong size hose barbs for my rad when I ordered from them... They overnighted me the right ones and threw in a case jewel, so it was aight

 

[Eguy]

I am back with updates

Been really busy with the move, but been working on my PC alot, here are more updates for you guys!

^ yes frags mod kicks ass

After many many cuts and a lot of bloodshed, the main part is done, got a couple things left to do..

Install some 5.25" devices

Mount Pumps

Mount rad and attach fans (need screws)

Cut hole for Fillport and install

Finish up

Should be done within 2 weeks I am having withdrawl from my rig

Also a word of caution, I had trouble fitting the DD maze4 chipset block on this board, it does not sit 100% completeley flat, the bottom left lift up a tiny bit due to the hole locations in the board, almost all the chip is covered though so I did not have any problems.

 

[bloodthirst]

2 weeks why so long, its looking damn fine otherwise mate, its really looking good

 

[Eguy]

umm, I am sort of moving and a pc is not on the tip of my list...
