*jim carrey voice* ITS ALIVE ITS ALIVE :D

this is going to be an awesome wc setup!
I like the you're thinking about stuff, I had this in mind a few years ago... Seriously nice! keep on going ninja!!!
That 1098 is pure sculpture. I'd want one for a glass case in the living room and one to keep for pure freedom blowing out the cob webs at the track.
It's going to be a tight fit but the M-cube system should fit underneath the 'hump'

It'll be a BigNg in one side with all the fan control and a Sensor hub and MiniNg in the other half for sensors and pump control. I'm using the front fans to keep it all well cooled.
Here's the MiniNg and fan.

The MiniNg and Senser hub are so small that even with the rad hoses passing through there should be heaps of room.

All the gear will be up under here suspended by Velcro.

I'm sleeving and adjusting all the spaghetti involved which is taking time. Pleasantly surprised by how many choices I have for wire management. This is the easiest case I've ever run leads in. Even with all the temp sensor leads involved in the M-cube install.
Nice work Jedda.. Keep the pictures coming :)
very nice
wow this is an awesome build jedda... keep it coming!
Excellent idea and nice work so far :up:
Will be following your progress with interest. Keep those pics coming.
Pretty cool work :D.. i really liked it..
looks like u found a nice little niche for the mcubed...the fan will be able to cool it at the same time....:up:
Way to go Jedda! Looking good so far!
stop teasing us jedda! updates!
I've been OS for a fortnight and thus slack with the updates.
Thanks for the kind words and interest.
With this last bit of soldering, I'm done with sleeving and soldering. So it's all putting components into place after this last connection.

Bolted the two sections together. Nuts and bolts all round with two straps underneath, using the axle points, for a little extra strength. I agreed with the suggestions earlier that some strapping would help.

Now I'm back, we should get a straight go at tossing it all together. So I'll be back with some decent pix of progress asap.
yay, it's back. almost thought you had left us :)
very nice jedda, after all the months talking about bolting together 2 same cases you have finally made it a reality... almost...
more strapping underneath...
*another suggestion, tip over the case (future twin) ala horizon case...*
regarding flying cutoff wheel, just last week there was news article about worker here using grinder 4inch "inferior" cutoff wheel broke apart and flew to his face, making for 1 bloody death...
yea updates!! more more!
Yeah, the straps in the pic are temporary untill the full width pair are finished. All sixteen axle mounting points will be used by them.
So much of the work I've done will be hidden. Very little wiring should show in the end. Still at least I'll know it's all colour matched etc even if nobody else ever sees that. lol
Made a two pin plug for the psu lead for leak testing today.:ROTF: Talk about anal!
Sorting the extra case LCDs to be indicator LCDs for the BigNg and DVD drive.
build in side panel LCD? hehehe
One LCD in front and the two extra LEDs is the final layout.
Waiting for my floor straps which will also mount the wheels. So did a trial fit of the casters to see how they went and am fairly happy with them.

Motherboard is in and I'll post some pix of that tomorrow.
Here's the blocks and RAM in place. I've another two sticks to take it to 4GB but will add them later.

I used rubber squares on the chipset and they helped with stability for the two pin MCP block a lot. Got them from PerfPC.

Put the raid drives in and turned them around so all their wiring will be concealed. :up:
Ran into a small prob with two tabs that run along that side. The drives protrude further, reversed, and one tab blocks the upper slot. The other slightly gets in the way of my M-cube wiring. I can get away with having them like this but may bend them up before I'm done. We'll see.

Am a bit frustrated atm, as my doc insists I spend at least 14 hours a day with my base over apex. So I can't just finish it all off in one go.
Still, each day I make progress in my allowed time. Wont be long now, until it's running again.
looking very nice jedda looking 4ward for some more update's :)
that mobo sure looks good....
how i wish there was an all-in-one store here in the philippines...
