Hey got a question for you guys with MM. Do you know what size #6 screw is needed to fit a fan grill, yate loon, filter, neo pad, and then screw into the thermochill radiator. The thermochill screws from petras are only long enough for the fan, neo pad, and the radiator. Im guessing you guys cut your own to fit perfectly?
edit - #6 Sheet Metal screws 1 1/2" did the trick. To bad they didnt come in black. Nothing some paint cant fix.
Yup, 1.5" screws. I used anodized black 1.5" socket head screws for the back rad on my project. 1.25" screws for the fans into the rad and .5" for attaching the front rads to the case.Quote:

Thank you, not done yet. I have to work out some kinks, but at least I can take a break and play a few rounds of BF2142.
By the way, I won't it against you for being a Texas Tech fan,
GO BIG ORANGE!!!

LOL, not sure what that meant, but hopefully you know that I am a Tennessee fan, not a Texas fan.

Changing some things in my build. I should have some pics next week.
Thanks,

What are you changing? :shrug:
Looking good. I like the all blue sleeving and SATA cables. Are those UV active or just blue?
Got a modular MM case so I could mount the MB horizontally. Placement of the rads and hard drives will change as will the pumps. The new case has a duality front, so I may place one of the pumps in each of the 5 1/4" bays separating them from each other. I also got a new QX9650, so I get to play with that this upcoming week. And finally, I may change my tubing out to Primochill blue tubing.
As far as the sleeving, it is UV, but I do not have any UV lights. I mainly used it because it went well with my color scheme.
Anyway, look for new pics next week.
Thank you for stopping by,

Nice looking build. Good work ;)
looks great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So here are some updated pics, I will have some new ones later tonight once I have completed everything. The changes I made are as follows:
1 - Changed the case to a fully modular MM case. I love the fact I can take off the front of the case to work on it.
2 - Changed the video cards to HD4850's, so I had to go back to my old school MCW60's for cooling.
3 - MB is horizontal now.
Let me know what you think. Also, I know the pics are the best, but since I am limited by the 200kb upload setting they will have to do. I may check out Imageshack to see if and how much it costs to upload some high rez pics.
Thanks again,
Utnorris
Looking good. The hard drive bracket looks nice, is that a part of the MM case?
Is the motherboard brace acrylic?
I use Photobucket for my image hosting service and I think it works quite well. All for free too. You can just add the image tags in each post, up to 1mb per picture if you want.
The MB brack is a piece of aluminum strip and it only bows because I mad it a little taller than needed to put pressure against the MB tray. I would have gone with the MM brace, but first they were down 4 days and then they wanted to charge $15-$18 to ship it. Wasn't going to do that. I can ship a 20lb item across the U.S. for that amount. If it had been around $8 like it should have been then I would have gotten it. Anyway, I will take a look at photobucket and see about posting some better pics. I need to swap out the MB again, I am putting my Blitz back in, tired of messing with the Maximus.
Thanks again for the comments and suggestions,
Utnorris
Finally done. I know, I need to wipe off the fingerprints, :D.

Final set.
Looks great. You appear to have thought of everything. That's a beast.
