Thanks guys, Those OCZ's better do me justice. But they are DDR2 800's so eish. Will see. Andy is sending them today.

Should have a update today, I wanna still cut my Radiator grills, would be great to get them laser cut. I should be able to get them done before FRAG.

That mobo suits the case perfectly. How are you going to secure the audio and gfx card? Or did I miss that part somewhere :?

I think this thing is going to kick some butt :headbang:

Thanks LJ

Well ive made custom brackets that are mainly like the stock ones of those two cards and i will basically bolt them to the case. With a Allen cap screw and nut.

Yea pretty easy. I will post a pic today of what i mean.

Ok guys i got my ram today, and also i wanted to fit the radiator and mobo gfx card. To see how it looked, I'm probably gonna make a new cover, but i will see, as you can see in the shots below, I dont know if i should have the cover in front of the card kinda or half between the gfx card.

You get much better cooling with the radiator being free of the PC.

I've also decided to mount my radiator on the outside when I redo my cooling...currently i have two radiators, both internal and if they were external I'd get much better temps

Some of the panels yes, im also thinking of using vinyl on others pieces. At least then if i were to spray some of the panels there is less chance of scratching , which i dont really want.

Anyhow here is an Update.

I've made a new motherboard cover for my case. And done some refurnishing on some of the panels for them to all fit in. (PSU Cover, I/O Cover)

And i also had to cut two new lengths of threaded rod for the motherboard cover. You will see ive gone with something different. I intend to make a detail piece for the motherboard cover aswell. (tomorrow yea)

You can also see becoz of my OCZ Reaper's I've done this cover like this, gives the case a sense of depth and life, than the plain flatness like some cheap art that created.

So as you can see, my new motherboard cover cut. Also holes made for fitment

Image

Next i made 3 of these brackets for the cover that will be fitted onto the mother tray where the watercooling holes are.

Image

How it will bend....

Image

As you can see, the really cool curve ive given the panel...and you can see the 3 lil brackets that are in place, and are holding the panel by dome nuts.

Image

Next was to cut thread bar for the other side of the cover. And as you can see fitted all good. Will need to make a new one for the very bottom one becoz its like angled wrong and not directly hole to hole.

Image
Image

Now to get onto the I/O cover, all i wanted to do here was extended a piece of the cover. As you can see below

Image
Image
Image
Image

For those that wondered how the GFX card and sound card are mounted, here's a back pic of the custom man PCI slots.

Image
Image

And then some shots of the case etc.

Image
Image

So some things i want to do to this case, is get UV green liquid for my watercooling i rate. Get a UV light. I'm gonna make a custom res soon. Tomorrow i will also probably get the side panel window done. Maybe... I'm gonna be going with something else but PVC tubing, you'll see.

Until tomorrow yea.....DoOb's

EDITED: All panels done with a Jigsaw.

So i promised you guys a nice looking Detailed cover well here it is. i must say my jigsaw skills are really improving with each insane cut that ive done.

So here are some pics and angle shots of my cover detail piece. Still need to think of a side panel window. hmmm....

Nicely cut detailed piece. Jigsaw ftw yea.

Image
Image

After drilling the respectable holes to be held on by dome nuts and bolts to the main cover ,here it is fitted in the case.

Image

Image

Gonna have to now buy a new piece for my back panel after using this piece for the covers.

Until next time yea.
