Looks good. You just took the mobotray and put everything together like that?
But are the HDD's on the speaker a good idea?
btw: Onkyo FTW!

I made a few changes recently:
-Removed the red led strips (but might put them back again in the future after some soldering)
-Sprayed the silver backplate matte black
-Got a new mobo. (DFI) :up:

A nice overview:

I also sprayed my aeroslots and pci-expansion slots black:

And a final reflection shot. :D

Thanks. :) It was about 4 hours of working out. :cool:

I actually like the sleek black side panel of my P182, and the side of the case that would normally have a window is facing my desk, so I wouldnt see it anyway.

the blue fans and cathodes were cheap anyway, it feels like Ive modded a flashy geeky toy, but I can hide it all away with the sleek black Antec P182 case :p

Popamiro amazing, and what is the best air cooler for you?

Noctua NH-D14 is the most impressive heatsink i have ever tested.
In extreme conditions the performance is unbelievable, i have to do much more tests for the review (fanless, low rpm, in case testing, performance diferences between two NH-D14, etc..)

One of the features I like from the noctua and I'm sure we all do is the option for for a third fan.

Well, I have a question. Doesn't those humongous heat sinks get heavy and put pressure on the mobo and the mounting points? I guess they may not be as heavy as they look but I know my little ThermalTake Volcano 11+ is pretty heavy since it is pure copper. Sorry, I'm still on a AMD 2500+ rig. I plan to upgrade as soon as I can.

I'm just wondering about the weight of these big things since I use towers and basically the heat sink, a heavy one, can put a lot of pressure over time on the mobo. Maybe they need a spring or some sort of support?

:D :D :D

Motherboards are pretty strong plus if you have it all mounted properly I wouldnt worry about any of the heatsinks being to heavy really.

Sounds like they are not as heavy as they look. I certainly hope not. They look like a brick. :shocked:

I notice you have a Cooler Master case and did a google image search for it. When you have one of those monster CPU coolers, can you still slide the mobo tray out with the cooler on it? I ask because mine doesn't slide out but instead opens out like a door but I have to remove the fan so that it doesn't hit the divider thingy in my case.

Just curious.

:D :D

http://lab501.ro/forum/attachment.ph...1&d=1258718465

WOW, look at the size difference!

HAHAHHAHA, Huge popamiro, does the D14 fit in EVGA 3x SLI with Corsair dominators, ou Mushkin's?

Check here for compatibility

I would imagine so its a big case for sure, but I am not totally sure since I have the Corsair H50 cooler. Which is a pre filled water cooler that doesnt take up that much room really other than the radiator of course.

Very nice rig mate!
One question: How dusty does this case get over time? Lets say, over a month?

Very nice biggatomic, that case is very beautiful and a clean build.

This is mine. Cable managment went better than expected :D
Sorry for low quality.

@ tiro_uspsss

Review is on the way, but i don't know exactly when will be ready because i have much more work to do, here is only a part of tests with one cooler (Triton 88). Review contains IFX-14, Triton 88, MegaShadow and NH-D14, and bonus comparisons with True Copper and Z600.

I can tell you that if Copper is not "supermodded" (lap, pressure mod and Liquid Pro for max out the heat transfer from ihs to base) is humiliated by NH-D14 at extreme tdp and cfm, where Copper is very stong.

Noctua cooler is ready to kill out of the box, very good base and retention sistem.

probably a dumb question: the D14 pipes are 8mm right?

No they are 6mm. But the dissipation area is huge. :)

haha it's just a State Dept, Waste Management, but we only have 3 IT members for 200 computers; so at any one time I might be working on 5-7 computers. My main position is hardware, then we have 2 network admins w/ years of experience. I'll take a shot of our server room tomorrow.

WOW just for the WM. I worked for the Com Squadron with the USAF and in this 50X50 room there probably was 50 servers and 500 pc's in storage,

well you also have to realize that my cube is the Kill Disk station, meaning at any one time I can clear 7 systems. We surplus all of our old machines to the State so they can go to schools/state depts/companies/etc. If you look at the far left screen you can see it's running Kill Disk.

Normally I'm only on 4-5 screens, but I have 7 for when I need it.

as promised here is a shot of part of our server room. I actually asked the head of the dept if I could shoot the whole room and he requested I only shoot part due to security reasons (DWM is crazy about security)

THX for the nice comments guys.
About my PSU, so far its great only its to bad i cant stress it with some GPU power (yet).

Now that is a case I haven't seen before. What is it?
It looks like a case for a retail system.

I think it looks pretty nice.

@shaolin95
