Looking great, Seeker; I'm with Shazza et al., in that I like the horizontal mount of the HDD's. What kind of nails and bushings are you using?

**N19h7m4r3** · 02-20-2009, 02:40 AM

I mounted my Hdd using some cooltech hdd heatsinks, which make it fit perfectly.

Cools it too

I do hope your First boot goes far better than mine

But I'm sure that PSU will cause some fireworks as Nils says

Nice find! I've heard others talk about the Scythe ones not dampening the vibrations very much, how do those work? BTW, they look pretty cool in your rig!

Hijacker: I am starving to see your air-cooled setup, because I can't decide if I go for air or sparkling-water. Where is your thread btw?

No fireworks!

This calls for a celebration.

I have a bit of tidying up to do with cables and I have to redo a couple of wires on the 24 pin, just the HS, a few molex changes and that is it!
With the exception of my window...still waiting on Charles and the Zen Frog!
Now I am planning a redo of my server

**shazza** · 02-20-2009, 04:03 PM

Excellent news! And glad we didn't have to wait until Sunday

**headala** · 02-20-2009, 08:53 PM

I'm an Opus X or vintage Padron Anniversario man myself.

**charles_h** · 02-20-2009, 10:06 PM

Congratulations on a successful LC build Rocky!

I know that you've still got a few bits to sort out but I just wanted to say that it's been an absolute pleasure to follow your progress. You've kept things highly entertaining with your personality and enthusiasm. You're a total class act my friend and I look forward to seeing what you're up to next.

Who knows, perhaps one day you may even get your side panel back... although I must say that it's nice knowing I've got a spare on hand...

Press On.

**N19h7m4r3** · 02-21-2009, 04:09 AM

Nice!

Know we just need to see it clocked higher?

More JIGGAWATTS PWEASE!

**skinnee** · 02-21-2009, 11:17 AM

Congrats on the build! Well executed,

And yes, I am still looking for my PB's.

I am quite sure they're in the basement storage room...the dog fears that room.

So, now that you have it running...have you installed BOINC yet?

Thanks skinnee! I am still tidying up and making some subtle changes which will probably go unnoticed.

**~~Snyxxx~~** · 02-21-2009, 12:37 PM

I know this may be a little early, but would you mind sharing some temperatures with us?

I am really curious about that Feser quad. Mine just arrived yesterday.

**skinnee** · 02-21-2009, 01:18 PM

Dr. SiG, calling Dr. SiG...

You have a patient needing assistance with installing BOINC!!!

We'll give him a little while to play with his new toy before setting up a therapy session.

**Zeus** · 02-21-2009, 01:56 PM

Going through your thread it dawned on me i haven't told you how great it looks.

Get the PCI-e cables untangled

and you have an absolutely stunning build, work of art!

Thanks Zeus! There is no way to change those VC cables, beleive me I have tried. The two separate connectors cause a lot of problems. The bend between the two is too tight. I have other cable issued still unsolved.

I will post some pics later so I can get some input!

**theseeker** · 02-21-2009, 06:56 PM

Here we go. I bought two lights just for Nils! Bare with me, it may take me a while to get this trick down and to complicate things even further, I did these in Photoshop. My watermark will change, but as usual, I was in a hurry...prepping dinner and of course the scotch was calling as well.

The overall shot...not finished, but getting closer

Please disregard the zip ties, just a test.......however, I think I am hooked on blue tubing!

I haven't lined up the HDD's yet as I am still struggling with all of these

ing wires! However, I highly recommend the HDD kit. The bushings make the Raptors totally silent and they have a rubber backstop. Priceless!

Finally!!

A boatload of wires to manage!

As usual, one artistic photo....I wish!

So much more to do!

**BlueAqua** · 02-21-2009, 07:27 PM

This project has really been a joy to watch and it's nice to see it come together. Those pesky wires always make it a challenge to finish off nicely, but you've given me a lot of great ideas for an SLI build. The pictures are improving and looking good.

Press on! hehe
