Short Cirkit,

How is you bootup time?
I ask because I just installed the Ocz Vertex 60gb with 1.4fw and windows 7 and it hangs on the "starting windows"
screen for 35 seconds.
Then once the hdd...

Thanks Bun-Bun,

That res face plate looks great.

I have a router too, but haven't tried it on aluminum.

I can't imagine cutting all the fan holes with a dremel, would take
forever not to...

Thanks CyberDruid,

It's actually easier when you have some kind of jig, as opposed to going by eye ever time you need to cut a piece.

I like the look of the aluminum too, I just want the inside...

I'am a noob overclocker and am having lots of problems getting my Xeon E3110 over 3.6ghz.

currently using Bios 1307, at 425 FSB Orthos crashes after 10 seconds,it seems that anything over 400 FSB...

Hi FrostyPanda,

I think Black and the natural color of aluminum, i just want to be able to play with different colors of fans and tubing.

I haven't used any coolant, trying to avoid the gunk...

Like your white rads, is that your own custom "FrostyWhite" paint color.LOL

Good to hear your coming along with the build.:)

I used 1/16", so that would be very close to 1.5mm.
I don't find it flimsy at all, besides it will be screwed to the case.

Hi FrostyPanda, your case is looking great I was looking a your worklog yesterday.

Really like that black and white color scheme.

That's looking great!
The profile corners are really strong using that method, not to mention that your using cutoff pieces and saving money.
Please post a worklog when your done, just take lots of...

Since I have a few weeks till the case goes to be powder coated I thought it would be a good time to improve the cooling on my eVGA GTX260.

It's the Ek full-cover block and the Ram backplate,...

I have been using Everest for about 4 months, but i've never seen a screen shot of Everest like that.

Good luck

I Just removed my GTX 260 stock cooler yesterday, and the advice your getting from the members here is correct.

Here's a very helpful link.
...

I have a Ek full cover block on order and after reading this thread i sent Eddy an email.

He responded this morning, he stated that the accurate thickness for the standoff's
would be 4mm.
...

Yes i agree, it's probably the cost of the high-heat masking tape plus the time to apply it that's putting the price up.

Oh well, going to have it painted in a few weeks, I just need to visit them...

Hi FrosyPanda,
Yes it would be Canadian dollars.

I was going to spray it myself, but would have to wait till next spring.
I have a compressor so would only need to buy a spray gun,primer and...

WoW, what a great project!

Well thought out, designed and implemented.

I'll be watching this build.

Thanks FrostyPanda,

I recently sent 4 Powder Coating companies an email along with some photo's
and asked for a quote to powder coat the inside of my case low gloss black.

I do realize that...

If you have rubbing alcohol use it.
If you happen to have a 1/4" piece of wooden doweling it will work also.

Thanks for your post tweaked,

AHCI it is then, seems to be the consensus here.

I tested a scrap piece i had and used sandpaper to give it that brushed aluminum look, it came out ok but would require more work that i'am willing
to put into it.

It's starting to get cold where...

Thanks BlueAqua, I spent alot of time trying to come up with an easy way instead of measuring each and every one, T-Square to the rescue!
The heat shrink i used is the cheapest 2:1 ratio that you...

It's been awhile since I have updating my build log, but I recently started
making custom lenght cables and sleeving them.

The first thing I had to figure out was how to make the sleeving and ...

I have an 8" vise in my workshop.

Hi interDOS, I see what you mean it's to bad you couldn't just stretch the front panel width to double it.

Don't give up, cuz in the end it will look great and be so easy to work with.

Good...

Thanks, I appreciate your comments very much.:)

It sounds like you have a very interesting build idea, are you trying to use existing case parts into the case dimensions you list in your post.
