Here are some updates,

I did quite abit of research on HDDs and finally went with these. Why these you ask? Well, with these in raid, they just as fast as 1TB Blacks and a faster then a single velociraptor 600GB at a fraction of the cost. With a small hit in random access times with regards to the velociraptor.)





8GB goodness





Removed the foam off the back panel as i didnt quite like it. Came out surprisingly cleanly considering it was stuck to the metal like flypaper.





Now for the radiator, it went for a good sanding, a good bath and a nice new coat of fresh paint.









Small screwup in the paint coat,



Sanded the bad parts and started over,











Also gave my dvd cover a black coat,



And just for kicks, my gpu heatsink too...





And lastly, same treatment for the ramsinks.









Also diy a QDC sata rail for the HDD array. The blank spot is for the WD Green 2TB which has yet to arrive.
