Hey all =)

Scythe "KAZE MASTER" 5.25" Bay Fan Controller - Black

I hope to get my Quad core to ATLEAST 3.4ghz which really should be a piece of cake :p

I STARTED off by wondering where I can mount the HD cage Then an idea popped in my head!

(Sorry for some bad pictures, My camera doesn't want to work atm )

THINKING WHERE I CAN MOUNT THE CAGE


I TOOK OUT THE USB/AUDIO BAY. REPLACED IT WITH HD CAGE =)



NO MODDING/SCREWS REQUIRED!!!



FINAL LOOK




So that is pretty much all I can do until i get my LC items to play around with

More pics will be with you as soon as I receive my goodies

Nice one - Love the TJ07!

With the HDD mount - I never thought of that with mine, however I still wanted to use the front USB ports. Judging from the pic how you show it fits outside the rails - why not still have the usb bay there are run the cable through the hole in the side of the hdd bay. You said you are only running the one hdd so there should be plenty of room for it. Just a thought.

Looking forward to some more pics.

Shouldn't be an issue - I have orderded things from both the US and the UK and they were both here on time.

Looking forward to seeing some more pics of this build!

nice work mate

look forward to some more updates..

love that case

[fepple]

Another take for the HDD mount. I took the bottom of an old CD-Rom drive, so I had a piece of metal in a |_| shape, drilled holes in that and screwed the original mounting point for the HDD cage on to that then mount the CD-Rom base in the 5.25'' bay. Makes it easy to get out as you only have to undo that one thumbscrew on the mounting point

[dingdong555]

Nice idea

Well, my liquid cooling stuff is still only shown as "International dispatch" which means it is still on THE PLANE 4 DAYS LATER!!

Yes I am pissed, it is probably sitting at customs and hasn't been scanned yet!

Far out!

[dingdong555]

*UPDATE*

As requested, I mounted the HD cage with the USB reader IN as well

(Note, you will need flat heat screws for the HD cage to fit OVER the USB screws )

Place the card reader in, (USE FLAT HEAD SCREWS)



Run the cables INFRONT of the HD bay, the bay cover SHOULD fit around the cables) *YOU CAN CABLE TIE DOWN THE CORDS SO YOU CAN HAVE ANOTHER HARD DRIVE IN THE CAGE!*



Bay covers fit around the cords



FINAL RESULT :thumbup:



More updates will come as my stuff arrives

[dingdong555]

WOOHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THanks, the two top (exhaust) fans are still way too loud. i might do some sleeving with the help of your genius guide

Looks good man. I see you have some new compression fittings. It looks like you cannot screw them down all the way. I have the same effect when I tried my Primochill tubing. What size fittings do you have?

Yeah, I have the primochill 3/8 5/8 UV tubing. Fittings are 3/8 5/8 (don't fit on the Fuzion V2) To get the compressing fittings that tight, boil some kettle water and place about 5cm of the tubing in it. Leave it in there for about 30seconds It will still put up quite a fight though when you tighten the compression!

New pictures also! I re-drained and "un-tangled" the tubes.
