Project: Phoenix

[Lagaaja]

Well, just 4 months after my last build I'm already starting new Okay, not completely new, same old hardware but new case, new mods and new loop. I never actually got my current casemod finished and it really started to bug me, so I just decided to order new case and start all over again. So the goodies arrived today (after waiting for one week for processing and one for shipping lol) and I figured out to start this log right away.

Like I stated hardware is still the same:
Asus P5Q Pro
Intel E6420
ATI X1950 XTX
2 gigs of PQI DDR2 800 Mhz
Corsair HX620W
2 HDD's

And cooling too:
Swiftech MCP655-B
Alphacool NVXP-3
50x45cm Car radiator
Swiftech Apogee GT
12/15mm PUR tubing

Yay, pics!

13kg of pure Caseking vs our cat:


Hmm, what's inside?


Nice So the case is Enermax Phoenix Neo, "Performance Reborn".


250mm fan, I wonder will it be my rads next best friend


Sorry for the bad pics, but the specs are 12VDC, 0.40A, 600-900rpm. How does that cat get to every freaking picture?


I started to strip down all the extra stuff like the bottom HDD cage (not shown in the pic) and other little bitz that aren't going to be painted.



Colortheme will still be black and red, and here is the list of mods / things to do:
- interior will be painted matte black, not glossy like last time
- 250mm fan will be removed from the sidepanel and plexi window will replace the covermesh -> instant window with very little modding
- monster fan will be paired with my monster rad to get some monster temps
- however the fan controls will stay on the side panel in their original places, I will just re-route and extend the cables
- case will have two 120mm fans (front and back), red Sunbeam Silent Led series, around 1000rpm they're quiet but still bright
- HDD's will be mounted to 5,25" places with same system I currently have in my Sonata II
- and there's one thing I haven't tell you guys yet, but let the picture speak for itself:



More updates coming this weekend
