New case and radiator arrangement (no 56k)

killernoodle · 05-02-2004, 01:36 PM

I bought the case for $45 at CompUSSR because it was an open box item

. Pretty nice, but I had a hard time trying to fit the double wide radiator in there. So, I got a little innovative with some aluminum c-channel and a biece of plexi. There is about 1mm clearance between the PS and the rad and about 2mm between the rad and the front of the case. There is NO clearance between the sides of the rad and the drive rails, so I guess that is the largest possible radiator that could possibly fit.

Now I need to build myself a GPU block for the 9800pro and I'll be all set. I'll probably put a step-by-step guide on OC.com and try to win me some money

Got the side panels installed today, plus the two top front drive bays. Also working on carbon fiber today. Had to set the case aside because I just got a new monitor and am re-arranging the room.

That looks great man, very professional looking. Now since you can't fit a cd drive in your top drive bay, a nice temp probe or fan controller would look great (just a reccomendation).

P.S. Nice deal on that case too.

I only have 2 fans... that would be kinda silly

I did think about adding some kind of art up there, but I'm not gonna do anything to it until I get my GPU block. I decided not to build one this time, dont have the time/patience for it.

Took some pics of the little CF in front of the LCD and the new monitor and case. I kinda happy I dont have to move my TV to college now that I have a monitor the same size and much lighter

Looks neat, except for the cabling. As hard as I try, I can't get it too look nice either. :shrug:

Too many cables to organize. I really dont care what the back of my desk looks like, as long as I dont step on them.
