nice work... i know what you mean about being relieved for finishing it... i'm almost sick of building and re-building... i mean, moddings fun n all, but my place has been a mess for too long lol

looks ace man, more pics, and hope you get them up in the gallery

edit: nm, i'll just wait heh

Hmm, looks liek a cooler master case (not sure if you posted, haven't been here in a while ) Almost looks like the Stacker with a bit of a mod on the side panel and front panel power button things, what case is it? Nice work though, really looks good!

Looks good!

all the threads i started in looking for answers and various related projects can be found in order here. I'm EDITING the FIRST POST to include the links to my whole project on these forums beginning to end.

Centurion CM5. not the stacker. the side window was thin and a bit buffed over to begin with...and the fasterners holding it on were plastic with chrome leaf....cheeeeep. so i bought a polycarbonate 11x7 piece, drilled out holes to align withthe door and some stainless hex-hed bolts and nylon lock nuts. and bolted that glass on....SOLID now. and the hex bolts look MUCH nicer. the power button was untouched. the power light and HD light are both blue...almost TOO blue. the lower fan was just a drop in replacement, but the top one was a little bit of work. youll see a pic of what i did in the case gallery. i titled it "hateful exercise in patience and packaging" i learned tho that make sure everything fits the way you want it to first...THEN paint the inside....cause if you paint first...youll screw up the paint!

That red fan looks good. I might have to change my intake fan too, its colorless. Do you guys think I should leave it that way?

(the three spaces below my musketeer drive)

i got allmy fast as performance pc's.com www.performance-pcs.com and there you picik the fan it it comes sleeved in YOUR CHIOCE OF COLOR and your choice of heatshrink color too! allmy fans wer teh ANTEC 3-speed fans...comes with a little tiny switchbox to pick 3 RPM settings...the highest one makes them just somewhat audible.

i'd doit dude...pick a nice blue one thats not too loud like those antecs and work it in there. its 1/2 inch thick so check for clearances too.

I like the red color shceme, you see too much blue these days.

very impressive. always a relief to get it finished (at least until the next mod).

looking good man.

hey Psychotici would toss in a red fan, persoanaly i think it would be sweet

dude, your just one of those people that make me feel bad when i look at my pitful rig

Lol looks good

Orgasmic

Looks like some nice work. How about a lot more pictures??

WZ

As pyro's jaw drops to the groud speachless nice job man i like alot alot alot alot. yay "1337" pwnage laner.

Thanks will do.

Thank you all for your comments, and good job on the rig robAP

request for more pics granted!!

the pump location.
mounted on a polycarbonate rectangle the size of a HD and ziptied to it and then the plate ziptied to the drive cages with rubber feet on the corners it touches at to keep it quiet....does a fine job of making it a silent pump.
the basic installation.
where you can see the resivoir on the right...the hose exiting the side of the bottom of it supplies the pump, so it wraps around the perimiter of the radiator fan on the right....staying out of the airflow of either fan. the fans blow directly on the 9800 pro cooling better the anemic stock HSF that it comes with...always a side benefit to something you do. look for other uses to one item. further shown here in the next pic:
you can see it all better.
the pump goes straight to the waterblock and then the output hose travels down the same way next to the intake hose, into the radiator....then out the radiator dirvectly into the bottom of the pump. this eliminates any unnecessary hose lengths or use. look at how the hose wraps around the fans. also the installation is more crowded with cables and what not. there will be some further cleaning up with just some split flexi-hose wrapping...but not much more can be done. airflow still sees the hard drives.
the power cord to the pump.
i tied it to the chassis case as there was no where for it to really go...so i got out the dremel and the router bit and cut in the inside of the case bezel a relief for the cable to travel down through and out the bottom of the bezel...very clean..and you hardly notice it...theres just a power cord out the front of the bottom of the case and one out the back. thats it.

if you wnat to see more of something specific ill take a pic and post it for you here. theres a remote CMOS switch i built for this that i posted a pic of in my other thread in the MOBO section.

wow cool moding... nice case
