IanY that'd be great to do someday. Sorry if I mistook the silly factor - was a bit tired this morning after doing Dad duty with my 16 month old early am.

I have to ask, does anyone look at this case and just think of the options that are available down the road? With most cases you are often going "well if I wanted to put xxx in, I'd probably have to move that, rewire that and maybe stick it over in that space right there". With MM, you just look at what you want and decide what wall or floor to attach it to, end of problem. I don't want to exaggerate, but you could a reasonably sized phase system in the Ascension, 2 1.2+kw psu's, and who knows what else.

Just love it.

Thats what I did...was modding fans anyway...

just another couple inches of wire, two solder points and some heatshrink each. Much easier than picking up the phone and requesting new switches and led's.

@Astratuner
All of the stuff I mentioned is minor. Hell, just think of the mods you have to do on a 343B to get a triple loop up and running. If case modding and modding in general is not your cup of tea, you might be in for a world of hurt and disappointment getting into WC'ing in the first place.

Anemone,

I fully understand the Dad duty thing. I have a 40 month old myself, and he's still doing the diaper thing, except with an attitude problem.

I wished I saw things the same way you do with MM. I find space to be a premium, and I find it kind of annoying. But most of it is me and my dumb ass ideas.

Regards.

haha just gave me an image of my son crawling inside the empty case and making it his "fort" :)

And yes, EVEN with the MM, it is very easy to "spend" the space you have. Sounds like you are heading towards building a "room" to house a pc, lol!

Its not that big.

Although, it is a perfect place to hide after I have pissed off the wife. ;)

:yepp:
I'm looking at those 6 fan holes with thermochill spacing going I've got one PA120.3 which i'd mount on the back, but id't be such a shame not to fill the front 3 holes too... Heck, i then i could run dual loops easy, there's room for anything down there!:up:

Recieved the email yesterday, Mobo RMA is all set, package is en route back to me!

Crap, now I gotta get off my duff and do a bunch of stuff!

:up:

wtf you do with 9600gt?:confused:

Run my second display.

Striker II Extreme eh?
What happened to it? Not another case of nvidiaitis I hope.

No, was really starting to like the board. I am 50/50 on exactly what happened...but I am leaning towards grounding out on the mobo tray.

I have that issue covered so it won't happen again. :up:

Got my board back!

Added a layer of mylar to the mobo tray. Glad I did, because the CPU backplate (Thermalright) does contact the mobo tray.

Will be firing it back up shortly, although I won't be putting the NB, SB and Mosfets under water until after I put the board through stability testing.

didn't the d-tek came with a backplate???
