Quite xtreme

[chavalcito]

Heres mine. Hope you like it

Did you cut holes in the motherboard tray to get the wires that hidden? I ahve almost the same setup. I didn't cut any holes, but I have everything tied down nice and tight.

Mine:









Let me know what you guys think

Wow, looks good, But.......I hate all those damn wires in the way. How are your temps? Bet you could do a little better without all those in the way.

a mess is one thing, i'm actually more intrigued as to what he has in there that requires *all* those cables etc - it seriously doesnt look like it has that much hardware to warrant all those cables! i mean, come on!

Maybe simply to look cool.

Thx You might also want to try PCwizard2007. The latest version has G15 LCD support. It shows stuff like cpu temp, cpu load, cpu speed and cpu voltage. Plus, you can have some more info in one of the corners of your PC screen. Like GFX temp and cpu core temps. I love it.

Sick system utility

[Origin_Unknown]

DAE_JA_VOO Did you get that idea from ORAC3 over at bit-tech?

[Moe_Szyslak]

Wow dae ja voo. That looks amazing. But what the hell are those metal cables for? Those are insane

[Moe_Szyslak]

Sick system utility

eeeeeh, sick in a good or a bad way?

[Origin_Unknown]

Wow dae ja voo. That looks amazing. But what the hell are those metal cables for? Those are insane

iirc they are just shower tubes. you know, the things that join the shower unit to the head? (what they called?)

[nike]

@Origin_Unknown: yes these metal cables are these so called shower tubes as u said. they look insane, i also got these thingies in my comp. just rewired the psu and it looks damn awesome.
@DAE_JA_VOO: When i saw this i thougt this was ORAC3 with another name and in blue, but it looks awesome, love this style

[Moe_Szyslak]

Hahaha, it's ingenious and it looks awesome.

Yeah, I used a dremel to cut out holes for everything. Was a little aggrevating, but helps hide all wires.

@DAE_JA_VOO: Orac3 much?

couldn't find my camera so i used the camcorder.

just put in a fan. the computer didn't suffer from heat problems, but the LEDs are more colorful. it was actually quite pointless to do this, because now i can actually hear my computer. i had the fan lying around. this computer is tentative, i got it for $500 last year.

ps. GUESS THE SPECS!

I have a different mobo, but it is the same size. I saw another Armor case just like that in cable management quality. I would love to do it, but I have no idea where to cut without screwing things up. I want to be able to use the case again in another build in the future. I know you couldn't have cut holes in the places where the ATX standoffs would be. Is there a work log or something that I could see to help me get it that clean. Mine is nice and tidy, though. I used some adhesive vinyl zip tie holders, and zip tied everything to the back. I walso routed the cables along the sides as much as I could. I put the fan power cables behind the motherboard tray. Could we see a pic of the other side with the panel off?

Don't have a work log, but heres some pics to show you some close ups and a pic behind the tray. I will have to modify my cabling when I upgrade later, but not worrying about that until then.








Hope these help you.

Thanks for your comments guys

How are your temps? Bet you could do a little better without all those in the way.

My temps aren't too bad. CPU temp is rarely over 42, the two video cards seldom go over 40 degrees. Only high temp i have is the chipset, which is generally around 45. Hard drive temps seldom exceed 30. It's all watercooled, except for the chipset

i'm actually more intrigued as to what he has in there that requires *all* those cables etc - it seriously doesnt look like it has that much hardware to warrant all those cables! i mean, come on!

Believe it or not, but every single cable serves a purpose. They all power something somewhere

DAE_JA_VOO Did you get that idea from ORAC3 over at bit-tech?

Yep, ORAC was my inspiration

Wow dae ja voo. That looks amazing. But what the hell are those metal cables for? Those are insane

The metal ones (shower hose) are all the main power, like HDDs, video cards, mobo, etc etc etc

If you guys want more info about my mod, have a look HERE. It's called Epiphany. You'll see the link there

[Moe_Szyslak]

Nice website But is there anything in the case besides cables? I've looked at it from all angles but I couldn't see anything.

EDIT: Never mind. I just saw the pics on your website. Now I know why I didn't see anything. I love the LED optical guide. I might just try that sometime.

[f250bax]

DAE_JA_VOO, very wicked looking rig. Awesome.

Extreme Cooling!

[zaim]

Extreme Cooling!

heh.. i've done that with my old 900..... but how do you use a burner or what not?
or did you just do that for the photo :P

[Ch3ck5um]

I feel a mod coming on !

Watch this space

[SoulsCollective]

how do you use a burner or what not?

That's what the bottom of the case is there for

[Ch3ck5um]

Exactly!

Ordered my 8x DVD-RW slimline burner this morning
