that ribbon cable ruins everything
heheheh that big blue thing you mean? :D Will post some updated pics later. I havn't got pictures for my remodded setup. :D
Update, cut out holes in the back for the cable routing, cut the excess front and back factory grills for 120mm fans, upgraded the Wheels to the case , cut out the blow hole in the bottom for swapping cold air. Also you can see some work in progress of my Engravings, it's not done yet, the work is much more advanced right now then you see now.

The case is an old Solution Series SLK3700AMB. Was sittin in my Basement. It's housed about 5 different rigs in its life.

Popped my 3600+ Brisbane too. http://nickfire.com/public/nakedbrisbane/IHSRemove.jpg Looks like a slightly shrunken Manchester tbh. Runs a lot cooler. I'm surprised that the Zalman CNPS8000 stock mounting is actually tight on the naked die.
blue lanparty?! what board is that?
:D i had a feeling it was made through photoshop. :D
wish they really had other colors aside from green, yellow, and orange. :D
its my setup
soon i change board.

Very Nice Select ;)
So last week i moved my original rig out of my Lian Li case (which i hated) to one of these free Thermaltake cases i got. The one im using is the WingRS 101, in the course of the transfer i switched out my old P965 DS3 rev3.3 and put in a new Biostar P35 chipset motherboard, as well as some new Wintec AmpX DDR2-1100 ram and im trying to go as quiet as possible with this as its mainly a work computer. Heres some pics of me putting the rest of the parts together today. Some are used some are new, im still in the market for a new air cooler, the xigmatek didnt perform as well as i had hoped.
These are in no particular order, sorry for some of the quality, the camera has a hard time in indoor/poor lighting, until im able to get myself one of those UBER DSLR cams, this will have to do :up:

ooo tommy, where are those hr-05-ifx's available from?
I bought it from PC-Cooling.de ;)
@Tommy_Hewitt: AWESOME Thermalright setup mate! ;) Planning to do the same. :)
I wonder, would it matter if the 120mm fan on the Ultra-120Ex be on the other side (blowing heat AWAY from the HS) than TOWARDS the HS? & would you recommend putting a fan on the HR-07s?
Thanks! :)
Hehe, thank you :D
I think it wont matter if you put the fan on the other side. And on the HR-07 you dont need a fan
I first made an incision with a dremmel to hide some of the cables like the 24 pin and some other ones. I removed the two 90mm fans since they were kind of useless and I mounted a 120mm to the top instead via tie wraps. I also took the plastic cover off which reduced airflow a ton. Added 2 icages + 2 TT 1225 Led 120mm fans to the front. My idle temps @ 3.5ghz~1.43v (E6420) are Core0: 22C, Core1: 25C according to Core Temp. The added fans dropped temps about 3 or 4 degrees Celsius.
It's been done with two M3 threaded bolts and wing nuts. The TR SKU-800 weights about 900 grams and that's nothing for an X850XT and two M3 bolts. Temperatures were very close to ones i got with watercooling, even on an voltmoded card @ 1.65Vgpu at 650MHz (sucky overclocking gfx, i know)

why don't you drill outtake holes on the top of your case and change all the other fans (front and rear) to bring cool air in.
or if you are too lazy :) try the same without drilling holes, but instead put an outtake fan on the front - top at 5.25' place
Very l33t sexy machine m8 :up:
Love the Colour Contrast, red and black...
Though I'm a Nvidia fanboy (well sort of, I like them :p: ) I loved teh 2 ATI Crossfire.

Greetz,

Shame they didn't make the stock cooler out of copper.. like x1950xtx. :p:
100% OC by Defaults & Autos, on AIR by Gigabyte P35C-DS3R !!!
You intentionally put double chunk cookies in that picture to make me hungry.
Updated My Air Cooled Rig..
Poo Or Not... Updated the BIOS and the temp is reading higher but no load is still 25 Deg C.
Spent the day adjusting the computer for a new CPU and a much longer GPU.. 8800GTX OC2
Each Front Fan is Variable.
All HDD are reversed.
Southbrige Cooler Clocked to make room..
I love how clean it is and the third fan makes the front look..

Looks awesome Brian, very nice. But... no optical drive? External maybe? :confused:
I must say brian, very nice, love the colors that its putting out in the dark, what color CFL's are you using?
Everything looks great Brian, cept for that tower cooler :) get somethin sexy in there like a TRUE.
Thought I'd throw some up of my P180 build.
Q6600 G0, TRUE, X1950XT, P5B-E, yates
I made some cuts a week ago so I can route the cables nicely.
I still have the IDE drive I need to get rid of, and will likely go to X38 or P35 in a few months (the P5B-E was fantastic with an E6400, but just can't seem to power this quad past ~315 FSB).

I just threw the speakers up on the wall, but don't feel like grabbing another pic.
here is my comp in its new used p180b w/ its new used enermax noise taker 600W, this is a preliminary build for the case so im going to cut a hole to stick th2 12v around the back and clean it up when i go and drive down to petras and get some ram sinks and an arctic cooler silencer rev2, im also makeing a custom ram cooler and swaping out the antec fan for a 2nd smart fan 2 since the antec fan dosnt push much air
also if u mount a zalman heatsinks on a diametric mounting system make sure to use longer screws and get a 2nd set of bolts or else it will pop out and strip the bolts on the top hs screw, probly wont happen on newer mb though couse they have 4 screw holes
i also need a long exposure dark pic but i didnt have my good camera charged
http://i1.tinypic.com/4xy1u7m.jpg
Mmmm, waiting on some toys then I will post new rig picture :)
@Spawne, the sonic tower is ugly :(
PS: @ Whitebrow - Thats a nice lookin case you have there :) But man, what about that keyboard? And might I suggest using a Push/Pull config with the TRUE infront of 120mm exhaust like that?
zanzabar I have a question for you , did you mount your 9500 with only two screws ?
yes i did but i have the back plate reinforced, soc 939 only has 2 mounting points, adn i just shoved a yate in the slot between the antec fan in the shroud and the hd bay on the bottom since i just saw in everest that my hard drive was at 50c but now its at 35c and 40c load
how do u pull that shroud and fan out i dont get it
Yes, USB External.
USB 2.0 and Slow Ass Optical Drives seem to be perfect for each other.. :)

NICE LeTiger!:clap:
what's the clearance between the fan of the HR03 Plus's fan with the PCI card at the bottom?
would it be possible to use a slim fan on the HR03 Plus so that another PCI card can be fitted?
you are displaying your microsoft serial for all you zoom in on.
Why not a TRUE?
I was the other, erm "hands" helping in the pictures. After measurements were made, the TRUE or anything similar didn't have enough clearance space, both in terms of case depth and space between the cpu socket and psu (there's about a 2mm gap between the Zalman and psu right now.)
Ar3s: Either his host ran out of bandwidth or it looks like he figured that out, I'll see if he can get the images back up soon.
emoners: If I recall correctly, the fan is a 92mm x 25mm fan, and as far as I've seen/know that the thinnest you can get for that fan size.
The clearance between the fan and my sound card is about 5-6mm, not very much, but Im not using sli configuration...
As metric said, it would not be possible to mount a slimmer fan, as those are the slimmest they get, However, if I were to change mounting positions of the HR-Plus to above Vid card configuration, take out/slightly bend the NB HR, I would be able to easily fit a 2nd card in with my current configuration.
Ar3s - I zoomed in, sharpened w/photoshop, Couldn't tell any of the numbers, but changed it anyways, thanks for the heads up :)
Cyberspider- Pretty much what metric said, not enough room topside to put a couple of the other High-end heatsinks in there without bumping the PSU more than I would regularly want to. I could have cut fins on a Ultra-120 or whatnot, but decided to go with something that worked the way it was supposed to out of the shop (+ I'm a sucker for green LED's)
did tigers pic get pulled for the windows thing ar3s mentioned couse i wanted to see what every1 was talking about with the clearance thing
Thanks Metric & LeTiger. :) But i used a Zalman OP1 fan (80 X 80 X15mm) & fits ok...with more air space provided. :)
