I need to find a headset, can't wait to verbally abuse all of my new found friends.

I'm generally not a fan of mixing colors, but after I saw your rad sandwich, I regained all of my faith.

Nice stuff! It should looks good
BTW what colours will you use? Now I see only white(interior) and UV green + blue.

[Baxxxter]

/Me like UV What i dont like is mixing colors, in your case i could make an exception since blue and green mix very nice I realy cant wait to see more....

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

I though all blue would be awfully boring so I had to choose a second color and since the motherboard has UV green slots green was a prime choice . there is going to be an intense amount of UV light in this case so it should be incredible looking when assembled


oh and one more thing, there is about twice as much blue as there is green

Here is the 4870x2 voltmod, hope you guys like it

looks clear, but how it performs? any tests?
EDIT: And what is that translucent thingummies? Is that silicone?

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

looks clear, but how it performs? any tests?

I dont have my waterblock yet it arrives tomorrow. From past experience with my 4870 voltmod I should easily reach 950 mhz

Sounds good
Have you try to test it on air? I certainly can imagine how noisy it will be, but nevertheless...

True that, it's gonna hurt my eyes. I can't wait to see it Snipe!

Nice voltmod,
What are the specs of the potentiometers?

edit: nm, i looked it up

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

So the time has come for another update! This time I decided to tackle the problem of hard drive mounting which I really like my solution to and I hope you do too

this update was shot with the DMC-LX3 again sothe pictures came out very nice

also you can see below the painting I did and the waterblock installed on the video card.

The subjects to be painted, prepped with 100 grit paper.


a quick coat of primer.


the end result:


I dont use these front ports anyway so I used some hex caps bolts and nuts to hold the plate in without the port hub behind it


A closed view:


My hard drive mounting solution, its a v1000 drive cage chopped down to only 2 drive rails and mounted to a custom white plate of aluminum I made with the Nibbler and the drill


the white plate is attached to the case support rails with clear adhesive 3M modders tape, this provides a gel sound damning and a clean mount look with plenty of strength



At the last photo there you can see the 8-pin CPU power as I've attached it to the PSU with the cables all flat and lined up, I used the 3m modder's tape to arrange these as well. As you can see it provides a clean and subtle method for organizing cables.


Next up I am waiting for an order to come in from performance-pcs with some rotary male-to-male fittings and the acrylic for the window. In the wait I think I will be working on mounting the reservoirs to the case and a few other small bits of work.

Hope you guys enjoyed the update and have a merry Christmas!

oohhh, aahhhh, coming along beautifully. I also love the blue and green combo.

[Baxxxter]

thanks for the compliments and for pointing that out, fixed it

HDD mounting looks good

[masxerofkartis]

Very interesting and very nice build. BTW could you check if there could fit a vertical 120mm fan behind the psu? (perpendicular to the bridge) thanks

[N19h7m4r3]

That looks fantastic Sniipe!

You should be very proud

[BlueAqua]

Looking good Sniipe Dogg. I like the white cable sleeving, looks slick.
