It's really your choice. Nothing is set in stone. You can always add plexi or polish more later on when your feeling more enthusiastic.
I think the slight cloud only shows in some pix and it looks quite good in others.
Problem with getting it perfect is keeping dust free for ever. You're not modding for a show but for your personal box and it makes sense to keep things practical.
yeah it get real dusty in my room..... i wish i had wood floors...Hmmm i dunnoQuote:

when i put my finger next to metal it's pretty good but the further away is what i'm whining about...
I'll give it a couple more run's of polish and see how it goes...

Looking good.
I do have a couple of petras' tops for the DDC2 if you are interested. The pumps they belong to are dead :(.
you have pm :)
Amazing. Can't wait for more updates.
Wow this is truly beautiful work you have going here.
I did the same as you, putting Swiftech mini-heatsinks on the mosfet blocks... (do you think they're fine?) I've heard on the 680i they get hotter than p35 though so you probably are doing the right thing getting those EK's.
Keep it coming! Love the way those 2 3x rads fit in there.

Yeah the 680i mofset's and chipset's get really hot...to hot to even touch sometimes.....
Sorry about the lack of updates lately....Still waiting on my ek shipment from eddie... hoping to receive this week....then the real fun begins.....
I also ordered a ek fc 8800 gtx block from a member on xsforums which seem's to be lost in the mail.... :( hopefully he will sort that out soon....
I haven't done too much to my rig... (lately i did polish the middle a few more time's and it's getting better (will post a pic to show you how it is)
I also ordered 6 scythe's kaze ultras 2000rpm 87cfm 32dba also should receive soon.... hopefully they are as good as the spec's suggest but from what I've read on XS scythe are a very reliable brand :)
I can't wait to get my rig finished... crysis,orange box,call of duty and ut3 so many good game's coming out.....I defo want to get my rig finished before they all come out.....
Anyways cheers for the all comments guy's
will post back soon!!! :up:
Heh, G/L & H/F. I hear Crisis will be top notch. We'll see... That is some serious cooling with 2 trip rad's man. Why not fan's on every available spot if you're going to go that far?
lol.... i was just asking what fan's to use black fan's with black grills on blue led fans with black grills just to give you guys a comparison....Quote:

edit: lol it was just abit of excess... scratched it off block is perfect :)
Very happy with the new MOSFET block. I checked it's fit today and it's great.
Was a bit concerned how tight the space was but eddy has got the dimensions exactly right.
Looks great too, eh?
Yeah it's awesome...fit's exactly i put it on... the contact is good... does warp my mobo a fair bit tho... so the contact in the middle isn't as good as the outer chips...Quote:

cheers
I have M4 nuts in a bag in front of me.
On monday I will see if there's M3 nuts where they came from and get them to you if I get them.
Alternatively, Eddy will always send off a replacement for any missing part. I had the springs missing from my Nf4 block and he sent them out. It'll be a lot faster to find some here, though.
Haven't fitted my MOSFET block yet. Just checked it fits. Got to solve the back-plate issue first. Progress is being made.:D
Edit
Thinking about it. You could get away without the nuts on the 680i block. Mine do little other than hold the screws up until the block is on and the big brass ones take the job over.
how about the ek nf4 rev 1.1 ??? yeah???
I'll give it a trial fit.. to see how well it sits
cheers mate
ok mounted the nf4 block without the m3 nut's seem's ok.... contact is good...
Having alot of trouble with the ek 680i nb block... i can't screw down the block... because the top brass nut's don't fit..(i probably could if i had the m3 nut's that were supposed to come with the block) eddie sent out two different sizes... i do not know why...
also missing some fabric washer's??? are they even needed if i don't use the m3 nut's to secure the bolts to the mobo ???
any who i think i'm going to email eddie @ ek to see if i can get some new mounting gear (ff#@#@%@#$ ) going to have to wait another 8 day's for that :(
any idea's jedda or anyone?
cheers
You should have screw head, washer, mobo, washer, nut, block and brass nut.
If you leave out the M3 nut you don't need one set of washers. That's the ones on top of the board. You will need a set between screw head and mobo though.
Didn't you get any?
I have some plastic washers small enough, I got at Jaycar. There's heaps in a pack. If I find the nuts on monday it's no big deal to toss a few in. Have a few extra neoprene shims to spare too. I used one on both MCP and SPP to help keep the block level on those little chips.
What was included?
Jaycar have 3mm steel nuts on their site, cat number HP0425. Nylon 3mm washers cat number HP0148.
Either my guy or Jaycar would get them to you in a few days. Eddy will be as long as the blocks took.
yeah i have the nf4 like this screw-metal washer-fabric washer-mobo-block-spring-brass nut... the nf4 sit's ok...Quote:

My block's came with two different top nut 2 brass with nf4 and 4 aluminum one's with 680i but they don't even fit on the screw's!!!!
cheers mate
My Nf4 is round brass nut, fiber washer, mobo, spring, block, with the screw reaching down from the top.
Like this, except the bottom nut is a big round brass sucker.So no metal washer behind the mobo. Just fiber washer and knurled brass nut.
