Welcome back.
I like what I am seeing so far. The design on the front door reminds me of the WCG logo. :)

K, so the PSU is sleeved, but in my haste I forgot to mark the wires, so the end heatshrink has to come off one at a time tomorrow so I can plug the 24-pin together correctly ;) - once that is done I get to embark on the hardest wiring task of this build which might actually take me a few days to get right ;)
Less talk and more pretty pictures :) looking forward to an update
And the famous last words,
This wont take that long ;)
lol, so if every time I referred to this project, I referred to it as project http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/5181/flowcutlogos.jpg what would you guys do? :rofl:
(yes I am very bored at work)
Holey Moley! Seriously looking forward to seeing this build in all its glory :D:D
How long have you been doing this kinda thing? -if ya dont mind me asking :)
Thanks man :)Quote:

If you count from the beginning of my LC endeavours - back in 2006 I had an Optie 165 @ 3ghz under a thermaltake bigwater 735, with a real LC system in 2006 based on dangerden parts
Modding Wise, my first aesthetically oriented build was in 2007 with a PC101A. Last fall I said to myself "I am going to get on MDPC" and that was a success with Permafrost by January of this year, and now this project :)
F that - just do a continuity test. do you have a multimeter??Quote:

This design is based on the Lamptron FC3 fan controller which can be found at many fine retailers:
http://www.lamptron.com/product.php?p_id=58
The funny thing about this is I made two designs, the first was originally deemed un-manufacturable, but they have got some really Smart engineers and machinists over at Lamptron and they pulled off BOTH faceplate designs!
This is just one example of the extremely high quality milling and manufacturing coming out of Lamptron - Definitely give them a look for your next fan controller :yepp:

Seriously I cannot thank Lamptron enough for their receptiveness, great communication and most of all the High Quality Custom parts they made for me! :D:D:D
^^ is gorgeous :up:
and it will probably be easier for you to source the measurements :D
PSU Pics: dont mind the cluttered look, I have about 800 P-clips of various sizes to make these wires straight as a ruler and very very hidden :)

I thought you weren't sleeving this one? :confused:
edit; design 1 looks sick, hope that one your going with :yepp:
Aw, FREAKING awesome if I do say so myself! I can't wait for my next upgrade so I can do the chop, cut, rebuild routine :D
EDIT: And what, may I ask, are P-clips?
You'll find several behind the motherboard tray of every murderbox so far.Quote:

Hank Baron of Performance PCs was kind enough to sponsor me with this lovely Black Ice GTX 420 radiator; Following is the Unboxing and pictures of this masterful work of a radiator, it may have tight fin spacing but it sure does make the jaw drop.
The Box, nice to see something other than plain old cardboard on the outside

The Radiator Arrived in pristine condition, not a bent fin in sight with all accessories included

:eek:

The included BP fatboy 1/2" barbs installed :D

The first fan with its extended wire and counter bored screw holes - I did all six fans on the drill press tonight and the wire extensions for all the fans should be done tomorrow ;) so I will have pics of them all installed.

just wow the fan controllers are amazing your cabling job is very clean this is going to turn out to be one very amazing computer
those counterbores = win. nice work Ian :up:
I simply love the Black Ice Rad. I will have one going in my custom case project as well. It is so very special.
Nice PSU, never seen anyone Sleeving quite the way you do, and i mean the Shrink length, not the colour!
and what about those red connectors on psu :)
psu Sleeving looks great :up:
nice sleeving job, but what about the pa140.3 test sample?
I am still getting one in a sponsorship agreement, but it will not be able to make it here from the UK in time for the LAN event, as a result I had to source another radiator. ;)Quote:

-Now with all six fans there is nearly (very very close) open air CFM flowing through the radiator and nearly NO increased noise level to boot. even at the full 1400rpm these things are damn near silent - each fan on its own is comparable to a 1850rpm GT. Next we will get the lamptron FC in there and really get :rocker:
Wiring updates tonight, I am half way done with 24-pin :D
Looks good so far. I like your custom fan controller ... is it working okay (as in no whining when it's turned down from 100%?).
Now hurry up and show us your wiring solution (please :) ).
