My efforts may have been in vain though, I'm getting my Evercool fan tomorrow, so I'll be doing a complete disassemble. :-P

I just bought JRW21's Rosewill R114A Tower, gonna see how hackable it is and go from there. It's got a side window, which I personally loath, so I suppose it's going to be neater than usual.

Heh thanks No, I don't think they do. The side panels are made up of three layers (noise reduction). I had a heavily modded Antec PlusView 1000AMG before this case (with UV lights, fans and all lol), but I got tired of the noise and lights. Now, I'm going for a VERY silent, sleek/stýlish looking setup, so a windows is out of question.

My kanji reading skills are not up to what they could be, what does the side of your case say?

all are full-sized pics

and no, there is no DVD-RW drive or any optical drive. It is built purely for gaming and it pulls all images for cd/dvd either over the network, or via USB 2.0 external enclosure that houses an NEC 3550A DVD-RW 16x

Looks great, but no Tyee? travis, I'm confused..

Nice job, I noticed that the plastic piece that holds the fillport in has fallen down to the t-line

that's on purpose...with that piece screwed on to the fillport, the fillport head won't fit up between the case wall and the psu

with it unscrewed, the fillport head is much thinner, which means you can easily lodge the fillport head up there and not have to 'tie' it to anything etc (since we generally don't drill the fillport holes on the case)

I kind of thought that was on purpose in a Happy_Games kind of way!

I almost ran into that problem with my case... lol

@ mnpctech- I wanted to comment on your modded rigs, but I don't even know what to say. Just amazing.

Here's my new Venus' home...










I can even use the 6.5 in LCD screen I got from soundx98... atleast until I find an SLi bridge...

It's actually from the anime Initial D (if you ever heard of it). It's about drifting in Japanese mountains. It sais something like "Fujiwara Tofu shop (Private vehicle)". Call me a nerd if you like lol

lol I see. I could read the tofu part because it's in hiragana, but that's it

ahh! initial d is a great SHOW! :| Loved it! :|

Here's some cheesy pic's I took last night while i was installing my SATA RAID drives.
Too bad my camera doesn't pic up the ~true~ red glow my computer emits. I also have some caster wheels that fit nicely on the bottom, i surrendered to the standard case feet after my two year old knocked computer over twice..

That is a bright ass case!!! Nice, even though red, or even florescent red is not my favorite color...

It kinda reminds me of those big tool box thingies mechanics have. I don't know what brand but yeah thats what it looks like. Though black is my personal choice, that red sure is hot :cool:

Hell of a nice job Dreadd!

I had little time to make this mod as i have onl one machine, but im pleased with it. I hope i dont fall sleep while tweaking the BIOS when overcloking ;-).....

Thats an ASUS STAR ICE COOLER you see there...i guess this mobo and fan cooler are meat to be toguether its fits perfectly, no problems at all....

I had more pictures but i lost them

Nice touch displaying the video card up against the case there. I've never seen that done before. Nice rig too.

its a shame it aint those ATi's With the cute girl on top would have made a great model :|, nice rig mate, though some cable managment is still in dire neeeeedd

my camera is kinda bad, bought it 2 years ago for like 100$, but I think it's ok tho for being that cheap =p.
Here is my rig:



It's VERY crowded =P, I wanted to have everything in my case so I have 2 small radiators instead of 1 big.



I got direct cooling on the memory using zalman fan bracket



You may wonder if I dont got any harddrives, but I got 2 harddrives on the 5 1/4 bay using A fan controller and a Zalman heatpipe harddisk cooler. I was going to remove the whole harddrive plate at first so I could fit my radiator and pump a little better, but then I thought it might be a good place putting all my wires behind so thats why I haven't removed the whole thing



This is my 3dmark05 scores on everything stock. haven't had too much time ocing it, and my psu is quite weak so..



What you think, any thoughts?

Thanks.

just put them as URLs not Photos...

where is the HDD ? in the dvd trays?
tried it on my case too, but 3 hdds is a hassel :\ overheated there

My camera phone sucks but here is my rig. The last one is a close up of my cable management.

Yeah they are in the DVD trays, I dont think mines overheating, just downloaded a temp montior program, and the ones that in the Zalman heatpipe (http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/view.asp?idx=49&code=019)
Is only 34 degrees Celsius and completly soundless!, the ones that in the Fan controller (Cooler Master's "Cooldrive 4") gets around 40C~ and is almost soundless. So I guess its OK =).

ya... mine reached there almost 50... but it was just sitting there on some plates... i would like some more photos if you dont mind, i have the damier, which is very much the same... it should be nice to see what else i can do that i didnt try

Hehe, I dont think its so much to see, Well I took a picture now:
http://img236.imageshack.us/my.php?image=p9213141yh7.jpg
As u can see i dont use my Fan controller now, it started to acting wierd. Had to shut down the alarm everytime I started my computer, so i grew tired of it and now i use my motherboard as fan connectors instead =P now I just have it becouse its nice looking car-stereo style and to have my HDD in, And for my other HDD on top, u can see the rubber standoff on the zalman heatpipe cooler keeping the drive absolutley viberaton free, And I have a gap between HDD - DVDDrive so the HDD can get some fresh air, that probably explains the temperature diffrence of the drives.

y'know, resizing is fairly easy if u have microsoft office... 2-3 clicks and ur done....

i dunno, im justtoo lazy to click on link and having to open pop-up-chocked links just to view a pic....



waaah my red case got competition

g'job dreadd,much better paintjob than mine

waaah my red case got competition

g'job dreadd,much better paintjob than mine

Heh, yeah... ok its fixed, downloading loads of stuffs so it took like 5 min / pic to upload =p.

FYI, it aint recommanded to have many fans on the MOBO... bad for it

those Zalman HDD coolers are awesome; I've got a pair on my Seagate SATA II 320GB drives and they're awesome. Completely soundless and 36C (36C with PRT!). granted, these coolers can be a little annoying to install sturdily enough so that I'm happy with them, but it was only a minor annoyance (you can see on Sefiruz's pic how the little rubber guys are hard to get to stay straight; they tend to sag with the weight of the drive). They are also, incidentally, a VERY cool color. =D my $.02

thx man thats a neat case there... altho too "colourful" for my taste:p

yeah they're sweet, I accatually diden't notice they tend to sag like that until i took the picture yesterday, I hope its no problem tho, woulden't be nice if it just fall down when bringing comp to lan or something.



Heh thanks, I kinda regret that i bought the UV cold cathodes, becouse the stuffs in my case weren't UV reactive enough (like my UV reactive water, but I think it has a neat color tho), the only thing that is really UV reactive is my SATA data cabel (and a little on the 120mm fans) ;P, So I have the cathodes disabled for now.. I just wanted a complete green computer from the beginning. now it differs from Green/blue and red eyes =p

Heres mine updated with new hardware in the same old Lian Li PC65.


Same angle with light on.


Same side shot with light on kinda blurry camera focused on the rear lights.

Orginally thought I would have a problem with space between the rear of the video card and the radiator if I bought the Swiftech Radbox so I made my own wannabe "radbox" from the removeable bottom harddrive cage of the case but I realized it didn't matter which port you would plug into and I upgraded to a new monitor too so no need for a vga to dvi adaptor.

The first few days I had no fans under the video card and I noticed the volt regs on the card would hit 80c from what ATI Tool would say so I put in 2 80mm fans that came with the Lian Li case, very quiet and works well it also cools the rams this way too. I wish I could some how clean up the wiring a bit, having the Digital Doc 5 to monitor 8 parts of the case made it look messy and I tried my best to hide most of the wires on the top right corner. I also have a 60x25mm (I think) delta fan over the digital pwm connected to my fan controller to keep that cool.

very very nice rig booster, nice colours match

Antec P160 w/ Kama fan bay
Danger Den cooling w/ Zerex and Masterkleer (7/16)

rest of specs in sig.








I dont intend to change or mess with wiring, as I plan to upgrade in the next couple of months.

not my style of case

wangerin: The official case pic thread is here for a good reason. Use it next time.

oops, thx Ace

My rig.

Cable Management=Conquered!

Nice job, fst h20!

(Looks like you could have a DANCE in that Stacker!)

fst h20 hook up your front panel stuff!

Meh... I don't have anymore USB connectors on the motherboard. I don't use firewire, ever, so no point in hooking that up. I don't use the front audio ports ever, so that's the other stuff.

I do have the power, reset, and HDD activity light hooked up though.

this should be a sticky thread. i'll get pics soon

Its time to put the modding and cutting wheel away for a while, and get on to some serious OC'n fun with my new rig. Here are a few pic's of the UV Armor Jr. for those of you who like some ..::bling::..

Enjoy!
