Elder, that is GODLY GORGEOUS

[Elder]

Elder, I really like the mesh!!! When you had the Feser blue UV what UV Lights did you have and where did you have them located? Did you have any other lights in the case?

KetelOne I used a Sunbeam UV cathode (2 each) on top of the 800D.
Thats all,no any other lights.

@Elder
Nice build man. I like everything black. Paint those dom. GT heatsinks in black?

Black and Black rev was not so long ago, with G.SKILL 2000MHz TRIDENT.

Elder, that is GODLY GORGEOUS

Thanks, I'm trying, trying ...
It's probably 4 rev in this case starting from April 2010.

Just finished putting my system in its new house. The case is better than I anticipated. I can't look at this thing with out getting a sh*t eatin' grin on my face. This thing builds cleaner than a virgin on prom night.

A whole new system will go in here this spring. Looking at the new 1155 socket and the 570 series video cards.

Yes I do, not on this forum however, but there is one HERE

[KetelOne]

Thanks! It's crazy, those lights look blue in the pictures, I suppose its just how the camera picks it up.

Mr_Mustang01gt: What kind of screws did you use to mount your radiator? They kind of look like screws I use on my RC car.

Heres a couple of photos of my 700D
just got it running & still a lot of work to do
won case on ebay for £85 so not bad
had to fit thermochill PA120.3 in roof which was a pain due to the 25mm spacing
Thinking about changing to sandybridge 2500k but not sure it will worth it

They are 6-32 hex bolt screws. I got them at ACE Hardware for about .20 each. They are cheap and the look great!. I also used nylon washers to make sure the screws did not touch the fins on my radiator.

[Quad-Damage]

My 800D best 100 bucks I ever spent

[bluewhale1]

Hey i see a lot of you are use a water cooling solution with this case. For those using a hsf do you find this case has bad air flow? Looking at some comments on corsairs forum i have hear this mentioned a couple of times. If you do think the airflow is bad do you think putting a fan on the side of the case would help a lot?

[Rotaryloop]

heres mine. im about to add a second loop for the videocards and im watercooling my soundcard

Thanks! I know where I'm headed tomorrow

[morencyam]

ELDER: how is the mesh being held up? the PSU bay looks like it has some sort of clip, but what about on the side and back of the 5.25" bays?

Milky1: did you follow a guide on how to ghost your dvd drive or did you just wing it? I'm interested in ghosting mine but need some tips on how to do it

I got the bolts and the washers, but I also got some rubber washers to put between the fans and radiator and the radiator and the top of the case. Did you have any problems putting yours in because I had to make a couple of the mounting holes in my case a little wider on one side to make the holes line up.

I think it turned out good though

[Mr_Mustang01gt]

KetelOne:

The holes lined up with no issue with my rad. Because I have a triple rad I had to move it around slightly to get each hex screw to line up but they all went in without issue.

Looks great bro!

Sry, have a silly question, but.. am i right ? that the hotswap works only for, like secondary disc's ? not for my main hdd.
Cause i had to mount the main hdd to lower side of the case and connect directly to the motherboard!

[Hugo381]

heres mine. im about to add a second loop for the videocards and im watercooling my soundcard

Thats a crazy VORTEX going on in there! Isnt that LOUD? I know that when I refill my loop, in the process of bleeding the bubbles, I can hear the bubbles pass through the tubes and its loud. I dont have a single bubble in my reservoir either after the bleeding is over in like 24hrs of running the system, seams like you got a lot of air in your loop.

[Hugo381]

Just an updated picture of my gaming den.

A very nice job on piping all thos MOSfets and chipset waterblocks together!

[Elder]

GT Dominators are used for too long, I returned to the G. Skill Trident.
Once again there is dark ...

Another change, SLI ... oh yes, much better now

[beast200]

Update motherboard CPU and ram and clean up cables etc
great case

[DexNfX]

I agree, it'll 10 times better after you clean up your cables. Other than that, good job.
