Good project , i dont like the tubing with the coils and noctua fans dont fit in there very good , you could paint them red or something like that, how did you do the Biohazar symbol? ( Vinyl ?)

You could also paint the inside of the case.. ( all black)

Edit: oh its a work in progress looks better now but try to paint the case all black on the inside of it

MK III configuration is basically introduced for these purposes;

- Full face block to cool the Asus 5870's VRM
- Full auto thermal throttling of radiator fans via the Asus R2G and 5870. Two AC F12s are controlled via the CPU PWM header, while another pair is handled by the GFX.
- Switch from 3/8" to 1/2" tubes using compression barbs and rotary fittings
- A little bling for the fans

Thanks. I'm using acoustic foam to blend in the cables and actually prefer a contrasting silver instead of an all black interior.






The biohazard artwork is custom airbrushed.


The upgrade is almost completed except my Orbital Matrix Typhoon GX is down and waiting for RMA. Sigh.

Look really nice! 1606 Mhz tho?

I've enabled SpeedStep in the bios. I only need 4GHz for my games and resource hungry apps, not for web browsing, MS Words, etc. Anyway, that's an outdated shot, my rig is now idling at 2.3GHz.

I like it so far.

How many rads are you using?

That is very, very impressive in that case!

[Philwong]

That is very, very impressive in that case!

Thanks man. This is about the most optimal layout IMHO without a major rework for the interior.

WOW, that is one sweet build!

Thanks... some night shots.






Damn that LCD poster's blue backlit is near impossible to mod!!

Phil

[Philwong]

Finally managed to mod it! World's first red Asus LCD poster! :b1:

Show time.

A Matrix Orbital GX Typhoon inverted tri-color to replace my faulty unit. At the "right" viewing angle, the background is supposed to be black, while the text is red. LOL. Just can't get the color right with my cam and too lazy to set custom white balance.

I love the flexibility of LCD Studio combined with Everest Ultimate plug-in.

This is it for my humble project.
