Ok so a slight change in plans, the case Im going to use is not a CM830 but rather a 832

So on thursday keep an eye out as I will be picking up the watercooling as well as the case

You are going to love the Stacker !

The longer I have this case the more I realize just how awesome it is. The space is something you will appreciate. There are just so many options for cable management ect.

Enjoy it

Enough to choke me on the way out LOL a good 2.2k

I really wanted a black case for this mod so when they phoned me up and said they getting the 832's as well I jumped at the chance.

Yeah and you wont be sorry hey. There's not many cases i'd be willing to pay over 2K for. Pretty much only the Lian-Li V2000 and this 830.

I'm amped for this mod. Get it started dude

Would like to know how you will be using the extra aux power supply space?

Gonna maybe use it for a reservoir for WC?

Or maybe planning on actually getting an aux psu?

Its a bit blurry at the moment seen as I havnt seen one of these cases in the flesh, I do how ever want to get a different res that mounts into a 5" bay. Im also going to build a rig to mount the pump as well into a 5" bay.

As a result I can place the pump and res exactly where I want it, the rad Im going to be placing on the top of the case, its going to be a tight fit i suspect and Im going to have to mod the top of the case to get it in either by using the dremel or sending in the parts to get laser cut.

O and for those who want to book mark for now,

my bad... misunderstood the design of this one...

would look nice with a 832 junior next to it with your wc maybe built into it...

Skidd · Post by **Skidd** » 23 May 2007, 10:52

Well you see nothing is set in stone at the moment, Im waiting for the components to define the project with. Cant design when you got nothing to design with.

But you will see what I have planned when I sit with some carboard and actually plan everything out.

eish, you gonna be nervous when you make that first cut man. Go and buy 40 rolls of masking tape so you can protect that bad boy when you are ripping it apart

Skidd · Post by **Skidd** » 23 May 2007, 12:01

or when I send it to the laser cutters to get it cut LOL

Sigh

No case and watercooling today, lets hope it arrives tomorrow so I can get started on some project layouts for the watercooling and stuff this weekend. So monday should be a nice update, definition of the project and what I expect it too look like at the end of the mod. So you guys can give me some input and stuff....

/me cross fingers and toes

Update:

Before I continue this update is rated 16 and contains explicit Box Opening.

So Right to it then

The Case:
Here is the monster in its box, and I mean monster its HUGE

Getting undressed

ooo there it sits in its naked glory

with it on its side and the fan holder open, look at all that space

The fan holder, wont be using this for the mod

The back of the monster

The watercooling:

ooo its open

All the parts

The Apogee GT Block

The Rad(its rather large)

And then also got these

There are 4 tubes there, so it should be enough lighting...

PS: Sorry for the bad pics but the lighting in my room isnt so great and I need a new digital camera.

OK hurry up girly man

DAE_JA_VOO · Post by **DAE_JA_VOO** » 28 May 2007, 19:40

Nice dude. Really nice

All you need now is a chipset block, a GPU block, and a new camera

I'm looking forward to this. If you know what you're doing, which you seem to, this mod will be great.

EDIT: Michael. Look at the size of your sig dude

Skidd · Post by **Skidd** » 28 May 2007, 19:58

Thanks guys, Well taking a quick look at the top part of the case, it seems that Im going to be able to with some cutting to get the rad mounted on top of the case while keeping the outer part standard, how ever my worst fears have been comfirmed, the case is revited together, but its not just plain old stuff, its flat top rivits.

So either I can find some to replace these or get the dremel going and grind down normal revits so I can get as closed to these as possible Im goign to have problems...

With this in mind, this mod is going to be both a learning curve and a bit of heart ache taking apart my case. But Im not going to give up now and I already got idea's flowing onto paper on how Im going to go about this.

DAE_JA_VOO · Post by **DAE_JA_VOO** » 28 May 2007, 20:27

Listen Skidd (what's your name, by the way?) let me teach you something.

I can see that you're willing to take these chances, which is what every modder should be able to do. Before you even buy a product, you should know that you WILL void it's warranty, and possibly ruin it completely. If you can accept that and take that chance, you will have a WONDERFUL time modding. When i started modding i got myself into that mindset and have had a great time modding since. Dont get me wrong, i have had a hard time sometimes, killing stuff and so on, but that's juts something you have to get over.

I'm amped for this one dude. I really am
