I thought about the PA120.3, but then I would also want an PA 120.2 as well.
I will be going two DDCs in series and would like the extra room in front of the PSU like you have.

The BP rotary 90 is what I would have used.

it does have smaller wide, wanna use the koolance rotary 90 before, but the koolance are to wide that can causing the tube touching the PSU or probably the 90 it self, from other 90' that i've seen, i guess that 90 from BP is the only one that have shorter design..

keep on update seek :up:

Once again, the BP rotary 90 is your best bet.

Mini update. I installed both sideplates, Blu-Ray, Aquaero and the HDD's. The HHD cage has a 120 Scythe on top of the cage. I still haven't figured out the VC wiring issue and I am very limited with options. I have all the fans connected to the Aquaero along with a water temp probe, HDD temp probe and case temp probe. I will say this; the Scythes at full power really force the air through the Feser. Sorry for the crappy pics!

Now for the artistic perspective.......from the top

And from the bottom.......

One big mistake on my part was to sell my last blue LCD Aquaero to sigfever! The green VFD doesn't' look right. Oh well, I always have JW Blue!
Tomorrow the lighting goes in a great deal of wire management. I am still on target for a Sunday boot-up or a cloud of smoke. Now if the Zen Frog would send me my case window!:rofl:

I cannot find the picture, but I think Shoggy had a picture/link of just modding a bay cover to only reveal only the Aquaero screen and three buttons. It was very clean looking and would match the case.

Also, have you checked out all the filter colors they have available for the VFD version. I have about three colors if you want to try, but you can also get them online. Joel bought some and seemed happy.

Yes, yes and yes. The filter is good but the original blue LCD is outstanding!

Good progress, but do we really have to wait til Sunday to see it go poof, oops, I mean boot-up :up::up::up:

I'm sure it's going to be perfect.

Need opinions on this one. I remounted my HDD's horizontally using black rails and rubber bushings. The rails stick out a bit as you can see, which bothered me at first, now I am not sure. The vertical setup made the four drives pretty tight and I didn't like the labels or the backside of the drives showing.

Before....

After.....

I blacked out the barcodes.....

Nice man!

Why not use the standard TJ07 hard drive cage, put the drives it in and mount it so the BACK of the HD cage is facing towards the inside of the case, then you'll only see a black bit of steel with a fan on top ;)

Thank you!

I tried that too but when the LED's come on the holes standout.

Which LED's? I'm sure a bit of tape could cover them up.

I have a 20" strip of LED's in the top the case. I haven't shown those pics yet.:eek:
When they light up you can see everything in the case. These things are very, very bright and they also help to show any mistakes I have made!

I herewith approve your horizontal setup. ;) Fills up the space nicely especially the "usually empty spot" in a TJ. Perfect :) Remember: Stickers don't belong on harddrives anyways :D Good job even that I still ask myself if you do flashlight shots :D

I want more hadd's now :eek:

Thanks Nils! Coming from you I really appreciate it!!!!
I only flash because Charles told me you cannot see well:rofl:

I will rip out your flashlight - I promise :D You are such a great man and so you should invest some time in good "soft" lighting. It would quadruple the entertainment-factor :D

Also prefer the horizontal placement of the HDs.

Thanks Shazza! I beleive it does add a bit of an industrial look and it fills the empty space as pointed out previously. It does add a lot of wiring to the front of the case but I still had room for 120 blowing down on the HDD's.

+2 Agreed on Horizontal mount.

I'm actually very glad to see that you mounted them horizontally, because I've been considering mounting mine the same way.

My other option is to mount my three drives right next to the PSU. Hopefully I can at least make one work. The way you have them mounted really looks great! :up:

But since I'm air cooling, I might need to keep all the heat I can away from the main components.

All this progress is well and good, but I'm dying to see the pics of the first boot up!!!! Your patience is killing me.

I am guessing you will be using the SS provided HHD cage? If so, you will be fine. My server has three HDD's in the bottom with the fan. It runs 24/7 and the HDD's are fine.
Thanks for the :up:

Patience my dear! It is amazing what you can accomplish listening to Diana Krall, Elaine Elais, Jane Monheit, Cheryl Bentyne and Tierney Sutton! Thank God for my i-pod and my Bose headphones, total immersion and no commercials! Priceless.
Trust me, it will boot soon:D I promise;)

Shazza - you will see fireworks, because his energy-supply is too high :D

Hijacker: I am starving to see your air-cooled setup, because I can't decide if I go for air or sparkling-water. Where is your thread btw?

Well, I tried it initially with the SS one, because I really like it. But I'm afraid I'm going to have to hack off the fan, and I'm a little scared of that. It's just too wide to fit in the space. I've contemplated looking around for something else to use, but ultimately I just haven't decided yet.

Hopefully I can make it work there. It would nestle in so nicely and leave so much extra room for me to one day watercool.

Hey Nils,

I'm just comfortable with air for now, and I'm not ready to take the plunge just yet. Hopefully someday I'll do it.

I thought you were already aware of my thread. Feel free to mozy on over to OCN and drop me a comment! I'd love to see you there. (And anyone else, for that matter. I love all the people here at XS! Hugs all around!)

I'm afraid I'm at a bit of a standstill for now with the build. I haven't really made any progress here lately. At the moment, I'm waiting on some m|M sleeving from Charles, and he's waiting on it from you. Is it on the way yet? :D

And thanks again so much for the sig, I love it!
