Well here i am again with a new Wavemaster case and a whole bunch of hardware to try and squeeze in it so without further ado let the :dremel: commence
Actually it's been a long time in the planning stages
but i had planned on using a larger
Coolermater ATC S4000 SX but figured that would be way to easy :blah:
I'm starting to think i might of bitten off more than i can chew trying to shoe-horn everything into a Wavemaster though, especially once i saw the size of the motherboard but it should be good fun trying and i like a bit of a challenge
The plan is to fit dual dual core Opterons and dual Sli cards hence the name Dualmaster and just to make things even more difficult the Sli slots are only 41mm apart and i'm planning on using 2x NV-68's to cool them :eyebrow: but more of that at a later stage.............i've got to try and make everything fit first.
BTW, i must give a big thanks to
Vadim Computers for having the 265 Dual Core Opterons flown in direct from europe which literally only took a couple of days and also supplying the Tyan K8WE motherboard................top quality service that i would recommend to anyone :thumb:
I've only just started so not a lot done but on with some pictures anyway!
Starting off with a standard blue Wavemaster
...and a matching blue BIX (it won't be mounted in the top this time)
So first of all stripped it naked :eeek:
and covered the top with masking tape to protect the paintwork
The plan is to cut along the red lines which will take out all the hard drive and floppy cage
I'm not a big fan of dremels but managed to get quite a clean cut with it but the last bit i had to use a hacksaw blade
Anyway thats the first side cut out
So time to see if things are going to fit..........first the rad.......yip that fits
and then the Tyan K8WE motherboard.........
BIG innit
That's all for tonight...........i'm off for a cold beer
