Very nice job on that side window - especially done by hand! :up:

That's not a job for the faint of heart! :)

Cut out the Lexan window with a jigsaw:

forgive my noob question, i'm usually an intel user.
i see you have a heatkiller on an AMD setup, did you use a backplate at all?

You can use the stock backplate that comes with the motherboard.

I just used the stock backplate on my Gigabyte board with my Heatkiller....

That's right, i used the stock metal backplate.

I also used the mounting from my old Dtek FuZion with the springs from the Heatkiller, works a lot easier than the screws that come with the Heatkiller imo.

This is what she looks like right now:

thanks for the info guys. like i said, i know nothing about amd, but i'm thinking i'll build an AMD htpc soon, and i'm planning to watercool it.

your build looks amazing by the way.

Is that a R2E heat pipe assembly?

No, that is the stock heatpipe assembly for the Crosshair III Formula.

Haven't been here in a while and what do I find?

An amazing rig. You did an amazing job m8. I'm so shocked that our systems look almost identical on the inside. The only difference is the 120mm fan you have and the res up top.

Great minds think alike ;)

By the way, how did you mount that 120mm fan, it's ingenius.

The Alphacool LCD had to go in favour of the Asus OC station, i still have it laying around.

I'm still unsure about getting the Fullboard block, i really like the look of it but the chipset doesn't really need the extra cooling, the mosfet could use some extra cooling though.

The block will add heat and extra restriction to the waterloop, don't know if it's worth it.

One of these days i might go crazy and order it anyway. :)

Next change will be swapping the Yate Loons for some 1850rpm Gentle Typhoons.

Talking about sleeving, i got this one finished already :) :

I hope to start with the sata power cables tomorrow so that i can put my build together this weekend. :)

Nice Job Zeus, i have a question how do you sleeve the 24atx pin cable ? i mean thats no extencion about pin orientation its diferent like 24atx original cable of the silverstone, thanks :up:

I like the black tubing. I'm currently starting a black\white build, so it's nice to see how black tubing looks.

Sorry but i don't really understand your question. :shrug:

The cable in the pic you quoted is actually the 24 pin ATX cable from the PSU, no extension cable.

For sleeving, go to the "computer cases" section of this board and look for the cable sleeving guide, you'll find all the info you need there. :)

I would love to have used clear Tygon but i hate the look of it after a few months of use, all cloudy and ugly.

Black stays black and looks good imo.

Once you've had black.... :D

Hey Zeus, how did you attach the Lexan window to the side panel - and what type of paint did you use to touch up the exposed aluminum edges?

Thanks :)

I used double sided tape but i'm not satisfied with the result, the tape is somewhat thick making the window offset a little.

I just used normal satin black paint for the edges, nothing special.
