Is it me or is the bottom of the PCI slot cover bent quite a bit?
Nice card and nice photography too!
yeah, the slot cover was bent when i got it. had to make it strait to fit it in.
im probably going to try to take off the sticker on the top soon

looking good lyl! i envy your 4870
hi i was thinking of getting a stacker 830 evo , i know that they can be converted to Btx very easily , do you think it is worth it? il be running an asus P5k , 4870 and e8400 cooled bya thermalright ifx14?
thanks
love the work
So far it looks great. One suggestion you should consider is polishing the interior of your case. I did it on my old V1000 and it looked great

I used used a good ol' sanding block and elbow grease. Started @ 1000 grit, then 1500, then 2000. Then use a good rubbing/polishing compound. I used 3M rubbing compound. It takes quite a bit of time, but worth the effort in the end.
did you de-rivet and remove the mid-panel from the case?

Hey lyl i just got that PSU too. Are you going to sleeve the cables? I had a shot at it and i'm getting there, but i can't get the damned ATX pins out of the connector. I've tried the 24pin, 8pin and 6pin PCI-E connectors, none will budge. The molex and fan/floppy connecters were a breeze though.
Your system is looking great btw!

This is a very nice, clean build. Its nice to see people pay attention to detail. You got a great deal on that case. Those cases are among the few that work pretty good with watercooling. You know however that 4870 is dying to be on water too.

i know i know. I will be getting EK full cover for the 4870 when it becomes widely available, as it seems to be the best way to keep the vregs cool.
When i do that ill be needing to add some more radiator... basically going to be redoing the full loop. Trying hold off until mid-August to do this. This will give me enough time to fully decide on what i want to do. And design a window!

Nice pic. Are you gonna add the 4870 to the loop?
yeah, just gotta bring myself to throwing more dough at this setup. EK acetal fullcover and a MCR120 on the rear most likely.
