Extremly beautifull systems! you're doing the best job that i've ever seen in each system you done.

The 6 pin VGA cables go at the bottom part of the mobo and then get up to the vga? Is better to put it like you? or what do you think to put the cables at the lateral of the mobo?

Those acrylic upper parts of the tj07 will be for sell? can we buy some of the parts of murder box's?

Best regards! and keep doing this impresive job;)

FYI your gonna wanna tighten down those nuts on the fuzion much more, you have very little pressure being applied with such a loose nut on there now. On my fuzion the springs are completely compressed

Man, these builds just drive me insane!! They are so clean, it's like looking at a mock up with half the parts installed, but not a mock up! Amazing.

@Charles, any chance of getting a shot of the inside back wall by the PCI brackets, I'm interested to see how you wired that button up there (and hid the wires), and are you using a single button for all lighting? And is that a filiport with no tube?

If I understand you correctly; I run the VGA power cables up the back of the motherboard between the motherboard tray. This is done simply to conceal the wires from view. In an SLI configuration, One would go up the back and one would be be visible from the front.

The Acrylic grills will be available assuming I can make them to my satisfaction and more importantly, produce them for a price people will be willing to pay. As for other stuff; I'm working on that.

This isn't Fried Chicken's murderbox - it's not getting the Nickel blocks. I've confused matters by posting pics of another build while I wait for those blocks. :D

It's the loop's drain/fillport.

I gently tip the system onto its face, remove the hex fitting stopper and attach a hose with a threaded fitting on it. I fill the system this way. To drain; after I do the above, I then rotate the system clockwise and the coolant drains through the tube. Hopefully not on the carpet.

They're actually on pretty good. I follow Dtek's very explicit instructions: ;)

How tight is tight when installing the water block?

It is best to use finger pressure for a snug, but not-too-tight, fit. Install the nuts on the spring loaded bolts and alternate between nuts to insure even pressure on all four corners, as though you are tightening lug nuts on a car wheel. When you think it is tight enough, it probably is.

That last line is money.

I've done quite a few of these and haven't had a problem yet - touch wood.

I'm sure I can find a shot so you can see that, let me root through my folders and find one - I'll have one for you on my next update. :yepp:

Yes, I wire up all the lighting to one switch.

The fillport is attached to a short piece of hose that is attached to a nylon elbow fitting. The elbow fitting is attached to the short hose you see, which is attached to the GPU block (I probably could have said all that in 6 words but I'm tired and my mind has gone lumpy).

IMO, that is the perfect place for a static fill port.

It works well FC. I can't remember who I got the idea from but whoever 1st came up with the idea - if you're out there - come and claim your prize!*

*prize has no actual cash value nor can it be exchanged for goods or services.

Project Update: Ok, I've got good news and bad news - 1st the good: Thanks to Quoc at Petra's and their speedy service, the blocks came in and they're beauties!

The bad news is that the rev.02 Acrylic grill is not ready. This means there's not going to be any pictures of FC's build this weekend. I need to install the Acrylic grill before installing the video cards so again, we're waiting for parts...

That being said, I've got one more pic of the fanta murderbox to share. This time with a special dedication.

http://murderbox.com/uploads/DSC_2986.jpg

...and wallpaper sized if anyone want it. It may be a bit too much "Swiftech pump" for most ppl. I just wanted to get the LCD big enough to read. :)

yelp! you cut my logo off. :p:

I revised my earlier post with a couple wallpaper sizes.

As for the screen - I use LCDC software combined with speedfan, fraps, and a few other bits and bobs.
