[Horseman]

Hi guys! Here 3 more details that I've shooted yesterday...

Originally-



And after replacing the Scythe Fan and SupremeFX...I was also thinking about painting the interior black, but now that the Antec900 2 has been released.....









...replacing the Corsair Dominators with Crucial Ballistix Tracers for some bling...

[knissel]

looks pretty sweet dawg

Is there any way to to connect all the fans to the one three speed switch? Or even better, to get them all to the one variable speed controller?

Can anyone reccomend the best PSU around 750W with a four pin long enough for this case to loop around the back? Thanks

If you cant I know there are extenders out there for the four pin that is what I did. I dont know where to get them cause I just got it off my buddy.

does anyone have some tips to install the HDDs backwards?

do i have to drill some holes further back on the HDD cage?

[Addictedd]

very very nice, but as i can see you have very strange/custom sata power connectors!
they look awesome, and i've seen them around a few other places but not know where to get them, or how to mod them, could anyone give me any tips as to where i can get/how to mod them?
thanks,
Addicted

To Addictedd;
If you were referring to the SATA Data Cables I used, they're 'A.C. Ryan'(s)...they don't sell directly--> http://www1.acryan.com/_S_ATA/index.shtml , but if you look around, a few places carry them...

The Ballistix are single or double sided?

The Ballistix are single or double sided?

Single-sided...I wanted the older double-sided ballistix tracers when I bought them last year, but couldn't find them in stock anywhere...

I picked up a drill with a cord today. It was so much easier(and cheaper) than with a wimp battery powered one. Constant power. If you want to drill a 2" or larger hole I would go with this(pic below) bit instead of that crap other kind. It made a hole so smooth and sweet. The other kind of bit was tearing the metal all up and twisting my wrist off. Just drill a little pilot hole first. It makes it easier even though the metal drill bit already has a guide bit.

[SabreSword]

I am going to be drilling some holes soon so what kind of grommets should I get to fill the holes so they don't kill my wires?

I went to a hardware store and picked up plastic tube. I cut the center of the tube and wrapped it around. Worked perfect. I think it was one inch in diameter.

owned a lot of antecs over time, finally moved onto cooler master, no i spit on antec cases. cm cases are extremely well engineered for gamer consumers in mind, yet with antec it same for a case to be worthy of using u have to spend some time and if u dont have the tools to mod, then u have to drop some dough, so why even go through the bs and just buy a cm.

i had the haf932 it was excellent but the dust issue was pretty bad, so i sold it and moved on to the sniper storm, it is such a beauty and a pleasure to work with. i love u my stormy sniper.

I have a CM 690 and 2 Antec 300's. There are Pros and Cons to all cases, don't just slam a certain Brand or Case because you dislike it.

I modded my 690. No way it was going to be how I wanted it stock. Cut out some fan grilles, (re)moved HDD cage, primed and painted interior, cut holes for cables, etc.

1 of my Antec 300's is in the box, havent had a chance to paint it yet. I prefer how the front and side cover(s) go on Antec Cases compared to CM (5/690)

i actually meant the custom power connectors you've made here. i just wondered if that 5th wire is really required? I have bought a similar thing but it is from molex -> sata and it only contains the 4 wires on the sata plug and im wondering if this could damage it at all?

[DoNER90]

ok so after 2 hours of building and 1 hour searching for parts in my room. I have finished.
note the custom Storm mount :p

here is the old crappy WCing.



note the piss colored water.





let the overclocking BEGIN!!

enjoy.

-The post about the AC Ryan SATA Data Cables was mine. Right quote, wrong poster. How 'Spymagician' got quoted for my post must have been a spy-magic trick -anyway...this is my rig;

Hey guys,
Been watchin this forum for awhile. Really awesome the amount of work some of you guys put into this case.
I built this computer last summer, but just now got around to posting it. Its not much, but considering this is my first build, i thinks its pretty good. I'd love thoughts and input!!!

[SabreSword]

Mine is much better then before.

[widdyst]

I,m Just waiting on a new slimline drive and this build will be complete Thanks to all contributors to this thread
