work has advanced, could use a couple cold cathodes and thats that.
obj to keep evertyhing cheap has been met. case cost me nothing.
-10$ dremel wheels
-lots of tubing (for all the failed routing)
-riveting pliers (great tool, go grab one)
-piece of plexi
-some drill bits
-double sided tape (almost at the same height as duct tape)
-a new dremel, my old one quit on the job
-lots of hobbyist glue
-moms tupperware for res(clean thoroughly, u don't want spaghetti for coolant)
-teflon tape
if u add it all up, it still cost a lot, but alot of that stuff should last me 10's of mods to come.
i'm sooooo glad i didn't buy some fulltower, god knows it came close. in the end nothing touches a good cube for clean cable and tube routing.
note the switch on the front bezel, it allows me to clear cmos without opening the case and fumbling with a lighter on my knees to reset bios.
think i'm gonna paint the bastard some day, but thats stuff for the future.
inside is:
-two full size heatercores
-eheim 1250
-maze2
-2l res
-the usual amd xp ddr stuff
note the intel inside, pentium pro sticker on the front bezel, how camp can i get, i ain't gonna remove it; feel like a museum.
