Looking great, Seeker; I'm with Shazza et al., in that I like the horizontal mount of the HDD's. What kind of nails and bushings are you using?

I mounted my Hdd using some cooltech hdd heatsinks, which make it fit perfectly.

Cools it too :D

I do hope your First boot goes far better than mine :(

But I'm sure that PSU will cause some fireworks as Nils says :D

Nice find! I've heard others talk about the Scythe ones not dampening the vibrations very much, how do those work? BTW, they look pretty cool in your rig!

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?

No fireworks!

The scotch is flowing and the cigar is burning!

I have a bit of tidying up to do with cables and I have to redo a couple of wires on the 24 pin, just the HS, a few molex changes and that is it!
With the exception of my window...still waiting on Charles and the Zen Frog!
Now I am planning a redo of my server:eek:

Congratulations on a successful LC build Rocky! :up:

I know that you've still got a few bits to sort out but I just wanted to say that it's been an absolute pleasure to follow your progress. You've kept things highly entertaining with your personality and enthusiasm. You're a total class act my friend and I look forward to seeing what you're up to next.

Who knows, perhaps one day you may even get your side panel back... although I must say that it's nice knowing I've got a spare on hand... ;)

Press On. :)

Congrats on the build! Well executed, :clap: :clap: :clap:

And yes, I am still looking for my PB's. :shakes: I am quite sure they're in the basement storage room...the dog fears that room.

So, now that you have it running...have you installed BOINC yet? :shrug:

Thanks skinnee! I am still tidying up and making some subtle changes which will probably go unnoticed.

I know this may be a little early, but would you mind sharing some temperatures with us?

I am really curious about that Feser quad. Mine just arrived yesterday.:D

Dr. SiG, calling Dr. SiG...

You have a patient needing assistance with installing BOINC!!!

We'll give him a little while to play with his new toy before setting up a therapy session. :hehe: :wasntme:

Going through your thread it dawned on me i haven't told you how great it looks.

Get the PCI-e cables untangled :D and you have an absolutely stunning build, work of art! :up:

Thanks Zeus! There is no way to change those VC cables, beleive me I have tried. The two separate connectors cause a lot of problems. The bend between the two is too tight. I have other cable issued still unsolved.

I will post some pics later so I can get some input!

Here we go. I bought two lights just for Nils! Bare with me, it may take me a while to get this trick down and to complicate things even further, I did these in Photoshop. My watermark will change, but as usual, I was in a hurry...prepping dinner and of course the scotch was calling as well.

The overall shot...not finished, but getting closer:D

Please disregard the zip ties, just a test.......however, I think I am hooked on blue tubing!

I haven't lined up the HDD's yet as I am still struggling with all of these :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing wires! However, I highly recommend the HDD kit. The bushings make the Raptors totally silent and they have a rubber backstop. Priceless!

Finally!!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...n/DSC01713.jpg

A boatload of wires to manage!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...n/DSC01715.jpg

As usual, one artistic photo....I wish!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...n/DSC01717.jpg

So much more to do!

This project has really been a joy to watch and it's nice to see it come together. Those pesky wires always make it a challenge to finish off nicely, but you've given me a lot of great ideas for an SLI build. The pictures are improving and looking good.

Press on! hehe
