Thanks for all the positive comments. I do appreciate it.
Jim: The fans for the radiator are blowing into the case. Yes I know this can add heat to the interior but I'm moving enough air that it shouldn't be a problem.
Gmat: damn good idea. Wish I thought of it. Cuz it would have been funny.
Jaydee: I can fit 3 PCI cards into their slots. In fact I run a modem card, network card, and a 1394 card. I'm gonna change the 1394 card to an audigy sound card soon. I don't like the onboard sound at all. If I were able to get a damn KR7A working I would of had 4 PCI cards to work with. I think my next board will just have more incorporated things like 1394 plugs and integrated network card would have helped. But the rig works and it's doing everything I need from ripping CDs, financial stuff, to video editing. Oh and gaming of course.
Una: I used rustoleum metallic blue for the interior of the case. That doesn't match the blue on the outside but that's what I wanted. The outside is a metallic navy blue and gold. I forgot the brand name but I bought those paints at Pep Boys. The outside paint job was the whole sanding, primer, sanding, primer, sanding, 1st coat, sanding, 2nd coat, sanding, clear coat, saning, clear coat job. I got lazy on the interior and used 2 coats of the rustoleum. I'll be damned because it looks just as good as the outside paint job.
Regarding the blue glowing dye. It sucks a*%! Caseetc has a lot of cool stuff but I do not recommend the blue glowing dye. It doesn't glow worth a damn. Stick with the original green stuff if you want the UV light to work well.
There's been a lot of talk about the BIX performance. My setup is doing 34-37 degrees right now. Ambient temperature is like 75-80 degrees farenheit (24-27 degrees celsius) in my house. So I'm happy with the results. Plus before the conversion to watercooling. I had 6 120mm fans plus a much louder PSU creating one hell of a racket. Now it's a gentle humm eminating form my comp.
Any more questions ?
