[armeniandave]

Thanks Eddie and everyone else I appreciate the comments.
My good friend is hopefully coming down soon
so I can get some good shots of it.
There are a couple of little things I need to finish
but overall I am completely satisfied.

[smee]

I'm waiting on some small items that should be in today and then I'll take some quick pics with my camera on a tripod.

The real shots will have to wait till my friend comes down.

[Darkninja462]

Did you have to extend any of your PSU cables?

Thanks

[armeniandave]

I didn't have to extend the 24 pin or the 8 pin to the motherboard or the cables to the videocards.
I did extend every other cable in the case so that they all went to my control box. There are no stock molex cables that extend out of the box.

I believe I went thru approx 80-100 ft of wire.
That's why it looks kind of simple which was the look I wanted.
It takes a lot of work to make something look simple!

Thanks Dave
Im going to have to extend a few cables and not sure which approach Im going to take. I know I will have to extend the 8pin atx and some other molex lines. I would rather cut and solder then extension cables but there some much easier....I wish I had the skills and time to do as you did....Looks great

When I saw who started this thread, it was obvious this build would be superb. And it sure is.

The way you decide is if you can see the connection between the two then soldier an extension in and sleeve it. If you can't see the connection and you can hide it then go with the regular extension. Either way will work so just do what works best for you.

i love this build..hahahah

they ran out of the new 120mm un bracket at ppcs i only got 1 black...they offered red...lol oh well 1 will do for now..

i love the wheels...wish i can put wheels on my torture rack..ahahah

[armeniandave]

I just sent them a whole bunch in the beginning of the week.
I just checked shipping and they arrived today.

The wheels are nice, now I can just roll it around instead of dragging my case across my desk.

Go for it!

[armeniandave]

Well I got a little bored waiting for my SATA connector so I made a NB fan adapter. There a little 40mm scythe in there. I didn't want to go water on the chipset cause I will upgrade within the next year.

I promise more good pics of the rig as soon as I can.
Thanks for everyone's continued support.

[armeniandave]

Well it looks like it might be a little bit of time before I get great quality pics so heres some quick shots.

[armeniandave]

some more

[BDW88]

Fantastic build! soooo who do have to kill to get those rad brackets and grills.

Can we special order them?

[armeniandave]

Thanks and hopefully nobody!
Because they are too expensive to make
and keep in stock I will make a thread to see who
is interested and make them up all together.

There is the standard spacing which I have and the
Thermochill spacing. Just need to find out who's
interested.

[Aielman]

Amazing work dude. Very impressive.

[nipper575]

Best build I've seen for a long time, nice work.

[armeniandave]

Well I have been running this rig for a few months now and I am very happy with the performance, however I was never happy with the side panels. I started drawing something and came up with this. It's fairly simple but adds a little extra to the case. I will be getting back the painted red pieces that will go behind the bio hazard symbol and it will look like the first pic.

I am also having professional pictures taken soon so you can check out some of the things I've done that are hard to see with my sucky camera.

Enjoy!!

[jpm804]

Looks good.....

Just wodnering if there going to be a window on it or are you leaving it open space?

From the pics it looks like there is no acrylic/plastics on the door at the moment....

[armeniandave]

I might put acrylic later but I really don't like the look of it.
I will probably keep it open so I can stare into the case as it sits right next to me on top of my desk.

[lazy]

Superb build there Armeniandave..
