[Caj Darkmoon]

Nice...

but it could be better if you wrapped those fan cables :)

[silenze]

Yeah I just don't have the stuff to do it at the moment hehe

[Trunks]

Silenze that looks great, what case do you have?

updated pic

[undergroundtech]

Where? :???:

[playafly187]

previous page.

heh

[undergroundtech]

That's just being down right sneaky, but it does look good.

Did you paint the inside?

[playafly187]

nope, no painting. new fans and cleaned up the cables even more.

[undergroundtech]

Must be the angle of the pic, looks almost white on the inside.

Nice job on hidding those cables 8)

[playafly187]

actually, that pic is pretty accurate, color-wise. the aliminum is pretty light... not like that dark steel color most cases have.

[playafly187]

ran across a before pic of my case:

[G2]

ah now you don't see those nice green cables any more :P

[Trunks]

Loooks good, wondering though..are your HDD's recieving power in that pic? I see no ocnnections, could be just awesome cable management but who knows :p

[El_Seano]

kinda looks like you put em in backwards, good idea. I never thought of that

[Trunks]

Silenze why are you looping the S-ATA cables through the Drive Racks?

[silenze]

why not? I just moved them a little but otherwise they'll just hang in the middle ..

[Trunks]

lol fair enough

[silenze]

I moved some more stuff around including the sata cables, just didn't get a chance to snap a picture and upload it...

[silenze]

Updated my pictures, cleaner now.. I like this case 8)

[Trunks]

That case is awesome, and now looks cleaner. Whats the retail price?

[El_Seano]

damn that is nice. very nice indeed

[silenze]

I paid $120 USD at a local shop.. think it's around $80 USD ordered online..

[Trunks]

Thats awesome

Hehe.. exposure + mini tripod 8)

[Trunks]

Very Clean

[silenze]

And... to further the case cleaning a little more, I'll be ordering one of these on the first of the month: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827131329

Muahaha... no more IDE cables at all! 8)

[Trunks]

Nice man

[El_Seano]

i belive that is the 1st time ive seen a sata cd/dvd rom. learn something new everyday

[wedant01]

[playafly187]

ahh, what a mess!

http://www.ocia.net/playafly187/whatamess.jpg

between upgrades, will be taken care of in the coming days 8)

[Bio-Hazard]

I'm going to hate to take this this thing apart again......... :x Maybe I'll just H2O-APEX the Cooler Master case like playafly187, well, sort of anyway............... :twisted:

Allright, this was my intent of cleaning up my case, not too good at that department as you can see.

::::Update::::

Changed my chipset fan, the old one was making too much noise, and managed to get rid off some more cables by putting them under the motherboard tray.

[jurtje]

Updated the pictureabove =)

[playafly187]

looking good. now if you could just get those hard drives mounted backwards... :lol:

[jurtje]

The cables stick out too far with the new 120 mm fan mounted there....

[Bio-Hazard]

It's really hard to hide the power cables from those Ultra PSU's, really thick and they don't bend well at all...................... :P

a bit off topic, but... how do you keep your tubing clear? mine is already stained... it started getting that way right before i added the uv dye, so i know that is not the problem...

[leeglf]

i know, its not the best. But its a start. Any suggestions?

[silenze]

Yeah, get rid of the purple/green pci-agp snap-down thingies... try mounting your hard drives backward, and try rerouting the IDE cable for the rom drives around the drive cage..

I just put my system back in my Soprano case last night..

http://www.callatg.com/~valley1/new1.jpg

[El_Seano]

are the hd's stable (physicly) w/ just one screw? I was hesitant to turn them backwards b/c of this.

[silenze]

Yes, there's one in each side of the drives, and mine has on the right side of the top racks, little bent-inward pins in the front screw holes to help hold them there. Shouldn't move with 2 screws in nice and tight though..

welcome to the h2o club sir :wink:

[silenze]

Where's my membership card and what kind of benefits do I get to take unholy advantage of? ... j/k..

I was a tiny bit nervous about pumping water into my computer, but then while putting it together and seeing how hard the fittings are put together.. then filling it with a res.. I'm real comfortable with it now, not even worried about it leaking...

(watch me go home to a steamy case of athlon 64 soup...)

[Trunks]

You'd flip lol

[silenze]

Yes, I would be quite annoyed.

Climb a clock tower.. [smilie=new_snipersmilie.gif]

[Bio-Hazard]

Gee, I've seen that water cooling system somewhere before................ 8) I just can't seem to figure out where though...................... :lol:

[silenze]

Works awesome so far :mrgreen:
