    Quick question, does anyone know if here is a way to rig momentary switches up to cold cathode power inverters? I want to add switches for the lights but I dont want like a military switch sticking out of the top. Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction this.

    Found a solution for the momentary switches, just picked up a couple 9v latching relays at radio shack for 50c each. Woot.

    Could you post some pictures of comp. fittings on the 4870x2 blocks? I really like the EK stuff, but that XSPC thing looks like da bomb, only part I don't know if I'll like is how comp fittings would look with those nubby thread holes...

    BTW....subscribed!

    If it makes any difference to your choice, these blocks are only $99 and the EK blocks are like ~155-165. If they perform as well I'd rather go with the one thats $60usd cheaper lol ^_^

    Yeah I saw that. The only thing I like better about the EK's is the fitting holes. I'm not sure If I like the little part that sticks out . I think I'm just being overly picky but the little things really bug my OCD . I guess I'll wait a while (gonna have to anyways as its kinda hard for a 15 (almost 16) yr. old to come up with the moolah to pay for a lot of this stuff ) until you post pix's of them in Xfire when you finish your build. Great stuff

    I love those RAM heatspreaders.... excellent touch to add in spreaders with different height fins/pins.

    I love that Power supply! If it wasn't close to 400$ and another 88 for shipping I would snapped it up!

    Those cables on it look perfect for sleeving also!

    I need one now! Also I need your budget :P

    Update for today: Hardware arrived. Finished sleeving the first Kaze Master, swapped the heat spreaders on the ram over to the enzotech's, mounted the water blocks for the video cards, and mounted the EK Supreme on the Motherboard.

    Sorry for not taking more pictures, was just trying to get the work in tonight since I have school tomorrow and wont be able to work on it (I have a deadline to finish this project unfortunately).

    Laying it all out:


    Skip forward a lot, again, sorry for lack of pictures. This is what I like to see!!



    I think its smiling at me!



    yup Im smiling now.

    Mmmmm, dual processors......



    Testing fitting:



    Yep thats sexy, a closer look?







    Yup, lookin good. Need to order a few bits and bops to really finish it off later on, but other than that, ROCK ON

    Looks great!! Although the screws for the cpu block look extra long. Are those stock?

    Green ram! I can see why you replaced the heat spreaders.

    Great Work Cutless! Looking good! Let us know how the XSPC X2 blocks perform.
    twwen2 convo:

    Brenton(switch8): "what's the assignment like? Is it hard or just big?"
    Tom(twwen2): "both long and hard"
    Tom(twwen2): "omg that sounded so dodgy! LOL"

    At the moment no since its a bit cost-restrictive and BP hasnt released the RE nb/sb block yet, if they get it out before the build is done I'll water cool the nb/sb in the cpu loop and get some enzotech sinks for the mosfets.

    Are you going to keep the dual-slot cooling expansion slot covers on the back of your cards or swap them out for single slot covers?
