Thank you so much mate...I really appreciate all the comments here. I do like how it looks overkill as it may be.
I wish I was better at wire management, specially on the other side...I have seen some rigs here that are just freakin master pieces of neatness.
Then again, when summer comes I am counting on it to keep my OC where it is.
I tried checking my voltages yesterday to really know what my chip is getting so that I can push higher but it seems my radio shack DMM is crap and is not getting any readings :-(

Thanks, Takes a bit of patience to organize cables in that small of a space.

A few pics of a build I did for a friend...........



And butttoned up it ran quite coolly even allowing the following overclocks.......

Highest ClkGen with 8M run of SPi….

275 X11 @ 677 2T = 3.024GHz

Best stable backed up with 12 hour run of OCCT……..

266 X11 @ 677 2T = 2.926GHz

Ok peples you got me interested in making my case look good
But 1st i need to know where i can get a Black Molextopci conector
then what are some nice blue UV fans i need atleast 6x120mm

heres a few pics of this horror show

1st pic is the nasty green wires there all in that place stuffed in, i want Fans with less wire



The 2nd Pic is the Molex to Pci connectors i want to replace those with all black ones (ALL BLack)
also i want Black SATA Wires



and the final pics ass you can see the fans doesnt look good now i had them awhile




so any links that you all can post for me, this best needs help, yes i know there smudge marks all over the card and HS

Plz Help to make this look like a System

Thanks Roger

PC cooler 1216X

Not exacly, it's from the german brand Alpenföhn and the product is known as Nordwand.

gotta find a black-PCB video card now

Of curse!


unfinished, quick 'n' dirrrty photoshopped:

[Marco André]

Pure beuaty i must admit!

[mattlef]

I guess the first card is the 5870..... and you're gonna run it passive? really?
whats the second?

[Kimi]

I think the main vga is a GTX 285/275/260 and the second is a low-end nvidia for pissx.

After nearly a decade with my previous case (Coolermaster ATCS-201-SXK, aka the Silver Widow), I had finally outgrown it's usability. With 6 HDD's two ODD's, three video cards, and a board that filled the entire motherboard tray, cramped wasn't the word. The heat build up was insane, and further expansion was impossible.

I needed a full tower (not least to allow me to watercool in the coming months), I knew I wanted it to be simplistic in design, and also wanted the quality of the build to be good, this narrowed me down to Lian Li. I was in OcUK on Saturday only meaning to buy an E5300 Pentium Dual-Core CPU and some RAM, but ended up walking out with a Geforce 9800GT (for physx) and the Lian Li PC-A71F (go figure, my spending habits are weird).

It took me just over 4 hours to transfer the PC from my Coolermaster to the Lian Li, but I wanted to make sure that the wiring was literally as neat as possible, to maintain the airflow in the case, and to ease the watercooling installation in the future (nothing in the way means nothing to relocate).

The build quality really is superb, I was most impressed with the cantilever design for the PCI slots, really well made and such a nicety to not have to use screws or those stupid plastic sliders. I was slightly disappointed that the HDD's couldn't be mounted in reverse without losing the "locking" ability of the HDD rack, but hey, at least they DO fit backwards, so the cabling can be kept out of sight (and out of mind :p).

So, pics:















I'll be replacing the ODD's (or perhaps just vinyl dying them black) in due course, but for now they are hidden behind the door anyway :p. And I want to replace the fans, as I'm sure there are quieter and better performing fans out there.

If anyone has any ideas on what to replace the stock fans with I'd be all ears, and if anyone has any ideas on what watercooling kit to use, again, I'd be appreciative. Likewise if anyone has any questions or requests then I'll try my best to answer

[patrock84]

Iand you're gonna run it passive? really?
whats the second?

No, the gpu-cooler on the GTX260 is equipped with NB Multiframe fans.
You're looking forward to a HD5870?

I think the main vga is a GTX 285/275/260 and the second is a low-end nvidia for pissx.

Yep. GTX260 and GTS240.

nice! i love that xigmatek cooler (gonna get the same soon for my new build )

[Kimi]

Put that $hitmatek *cough* xigmatek on a small die size GPU and you'll be surprised.

Paradigital............ Nice and neat, just plain simple and beautiful!!

Server??

Nope, main rig (in sig). I love "tidy" hence why it's laid out as it is Cheers for the complement

My server is actually less powerful (Phenom II X3 720BE, 8GB PC2-8500 Kingston HyperX, Asus M3A78-VM, 3x500GB Seagate Baracudas in RAID5), but given it doesn't do much, it's plenty powerful enough for the job

Wish I would take the time to do y'alls' studio quality pics.....

However here is a few shots of one of my older systems - in the light and then the dark.

[LedHed]

nice case, did you custom cut/build that plexi setup?

[jedihobbit]

nice case, did you custom cut/build that plexi setup?

While I would like to take credit for the case, I can not. It was made by akasa and seemed to be indigines to Europe. I just happened to find it in a FS thread at pcper (then amdmb) back around '03 - '04 and when I got the box it still had the JFK sticker! It has been hacked on several times to make things fit.

Been trying to do a worklog for here but the one you see is version 4.0 and haven't figured how to tie them together.
