Thanks smee!

no res, just a t-line this time around

Hacked up my CM690 today..

w00t. Me and my Dad took it outside and chopped it up. A little nasty around the edges but it was a quick jigsaw job, and we knew it'd be covered up.

**smee** · 01-06-2008, 04:37 PM

Nice job Nick!

BTW, are the 690's made out of steel or aluminum?

**NickS** · 01-06-2008, 04:38 PM

Thanks man

They're all steel.

**perfection** · 01-06-2008, 04:45 PM

NickS: can we get some pictures of how you stuck the fans under the mesh please

Could you tell me what cutting blade you used to cut it?
The case I'm using in my new build is steel too, and I've been using a dremel to cut things (see my sig for worklog), I just wonder if using a jigsaw would be better...

**Chewbenator** · 01-06-2008, 05:08 PM

@Napass, that setup is so bad ass on so many levels

They're just screwed into the radiator w/rad screws.

Jigsaw is definitely better. It's a BOSCH metal blade found @ Home Depot. Relatively cheap, in a 3-pack.

Thanks, that tube is fairly close to a kink, but it seems to be fine.

I'm just starting to install water cooling into my TJ07 and have almost totally dismantled the case. You may notice that almost everything can be removed from the frame as it's all screwed in.

There are also additional screw holes for placing the motherboard tray on the other side.

Basically, after removing the motherboard tray, you would need to remove the 2 vertical supports for the 5 1/4" bays, then the horizontal panel. The motherboard tray guide rail at the top can be removed and screwed into the other holes at the top of the case (remember to rotate the rail first). This then leaves the other guide rail on the horizontal panel. Unfortunately, this rail is riveted

, but there are holes on the other side to mount the rail

. Drill out the 4 rivets and then mount the rail in the other holes. You'll need to find some way to attach this rail - best way I think would be to tap the 4 holes so that you can screw/bolt it in (the aluminium plate is 2mm thick, so should provide sturdy fixing). You can reinstall the horizontal panel and then the 2 vertical panels.

If you're still unsure, I'll try and post some pics of where everything should go.

Looking good so far bundymania!

Admired your previous builds and this looks like it could be just as fab!

**binormalkilla** · 01-07-2008, 07:50 AM

I'm going to take a dremel to my fill port hole to make if fit better on my vacation days this week.....I think I may get my polish on with the frame too

Nice BeeN!
Very clean inside, you have great wire managment skills

I hope my build turns out like that :rollseyes:

UV galore! I hope mine has that much when I get my other UV lamps in...looking good though.

**iandh** · 01-07-2008, 09:03 PM

Did some work on my 690 and added a window about a week ago, been busy so haven't had a chance to post pics until now...

**Nate P.** · 01-07-2008, 09:09 PM

Window looks extremely professional, excellent job, Iandh. I'm surprised you don't use your own 8800GT RAM sinks in your build though!

**lichyetan** · 01-07-2008, 10:03 PM

Here is some pics of my new setup and dual loop cooling, all tight fit in my Old Stacker...

Dual Loop Cooling of my new system, watercooled CPU,NB and GPU. Dual Pump, MCP650 (D4) and D-Tek DB-1.

Day Shot.

Fuzion Block From Asus and MCW-60 for 8800gt share the same loop using 3/8 tubings.

Shot From another angle.
