I agree with that. And that VGA cooler (the one with the 2 fans) looks a bit like my Scythe Musashi. So I guess the cooling should be good.

Well it rained again today but I did get a little done. In this 1st picture we can see I've mounted the Power Panel, Optical Drives and the Hard Drive. I'll only be using 3 of the Drive Bay Covers which will go down to and cover the Hard Drive. And I'll be using the Honeycomb Mesh to cover the rest of the area and the fans will be mounted to the Mesh.

Here we have the 3 Drive Bay Covers which I got painted before it rained.

And I painted the USB and Power/Reset/Activity Cables black with a Permanent Marker.

Here is the Seagate Barracuda 250 GB Drive, I've mounted it to the chassis with a set of Nexus DoubleTwin Hard Drive Vibration Absorbers ( Nexus DoubleTwin Hard Drive Vibration Absorber Products Model: NX-DT-HDD [NX-DT-HDD] : Performance-PCs.com, ... sleeve it and they will come ) which I painted black and I've attached a Scythe "KAZE-JYU" Silent Slim 100X12mm Fan to it with the drive mounting hardware included with the fan ( Scythe "KAZE-JYU" Slim100mm Silent 100mm Fan (fits 92mm fan holes) - Med Speed - Sleeved Products Model: SY1012SL12M [SY1012SL12M] : Performance-PCs.com, ... sleeve it and they will come ). These are the same fans I used on the Video Card Cooler which I thought were 10mm, I stand corrected at 12mm.

I'll be hand painting all the visible screw heads and the visible parts of the Optical Drives in this next Picture.

Here we can see the back of the PC. I think I'll paint the I/O Shield.

When we zoom in we can see I've drilled out the fan mounting holes and installed some noise reducing Gromments.

And there hard to see but I've used Black Anodized Thumbscrews to mount the Power Supply. I've got enough for the Side Panels but I'm a few short for all the Card Slots, I need to order 5 more.

And the last 2 pictures of the day are of the Top Panel, of which I've attached all the parts to and I've mounted the Top Exhaust Fan.

Well I actually had to work this morning so I didn't get to start on this until this afternoon. I drove past the bank at lunchtime and the temperature was 101dF and it felt like 110dF. So I decided to work on stuff in the AC instead of outside work.

I took the heatsink off my old system and lapped it for this system. Then I installed it on the mobo and took a few pictures. It's was 4 o'clock before I knew it, 9-4 is strenuous with only an hour for lunch

HOLY MOLY! Thats a heck load of cooling in it!!

Slaymate · 06-20-2009, 08:11 PM

Assembly has started. Thou I still have a few parts on order and a few things to finish on the case.

RaiZen18 · 06-20-2009, 10:31 PM

can I have your old parts? he he he!

Slaymate · 06-21-2009, 01:21 PM

I've already sold them

Richard_Rahl · 06-21-2009, 04:00 PM

Slaymate, the fanside of your psu is onto the bottom of the case. I think that you should turn it around, i.e. upside down in this pc. Or is there a mesh bottom in that case?
It's not that I think I know all about it, but I thought I should express my thought about that.

RaiZen18 · 06-21-2009, 04:09 PM

oh well its ok...
