I finally had a day free of responsibility, so I spent most of it modding. I managed to get some cooling on some of my NF7's warmer spots(the actual hot areas will have to rely on stock cooling until my order of Cu arrive on Tuesday), nearly finish my dual PS setup, and make a shroud for my rad.

A general pic of the current state of my comp. I added some small heatsinks to all the mosfets. Not a hardcore as the WB that some have added but mine didn't even feel warm when I felt them. I also added a small passive heatsink to the SB.

I decided to go with 2 Powersupplys a while ago. 1 will power the computer while the other powers the fans, johnson pump, lights and other 'bling' I may add in the future. The cooling PS is controlled only be the rear switch(this lets me control the johnson pump without having the comp on). I desoldered and removed all the extra lines. The hole for the ATX and 12v line was moved to the spot over the MB were they would connect. The lines for the cooling come out at the top of the case, while the lines for the drives come out in the channel of the side rail of my case.
I removed the stock fans completely and replaced them with a single 120mm fan.

I recently picked up some Delta FFB0912EHE fans. The first time I tested them they propelled themselves over my desk. So I though what better to contain them than a rotor inspired shroud. I decided to use fiberglass which I regret as it came out kinda lumpy. The small flanges will be used to mount the shroud/heatcore/fan assembly.

I still have plently of work Wbs for the CPU/NB/GPU/HD, cable sleeing, cleaning, and painting. That will all have to wait for another open day however.
