Construction paper is what I used card stock was to thin for the glue I was using .

Looks good. For the big circle on the side panel, is it just an hole or is it clear acrylic ?

That is a piece of clear acrylic I cut with a dremel I had to also drill the holes for the mounting screws as well .The top is glass ( from a picture frame ) .
Thank You I am glad you like it . there will be more when I get the new HSF installed soon .

OK, here goes, a few pics of my current rig...

My reverse mounted drives... before I got my HX620W...


A couple 7900GTXs in SLi :-) again before the new PSU


My Software Fan Controller:


and finally the whole shebang:



All the case screws have now been replaced with nylon thumbscrews from smallparts.com

My next project is to take the whole freaking thing to pieces so that I can cut the panel that the MB mounts to in two pieces, and mount a continuous hinge (already purchased from smallparts.com) all the way up so that a "door" swings open to allow access to the other side of the drive cage... cause I tell you what, it's a pain in the donkey to get at the other side...

Also a few more cables to finish sleeving when I get time... I'm too stubborn to pay for a molex pin tool so it takes me a little longer to poke the pin catches with a needle :-)

Also need to get some nylon nuts so I can mount the fans with plastic thumbscrews as well... I want every piece of case hardware to be plastic eventually... except maybe the screws holding on the handles.... tried nylon for those ones once already.... didn't turn ut so well, ask my big toe... luckily nothing broke... my toe was ok too :-)

:eek: Wow, Thats pretty badass. Nice work Everyone. These are some kickass cases!

Once i get my watercooling bits i will toss up another pics or 5 of the final product.

Keep em coming!

I agree there are some very sweet rigs here you are all an insparation to me .
Once I get the new stuff installed this week I will post some more pic's .
I have a ultra tech coming Tuesday and will have it one by fri..

Very nice stuff every one !

i finally got the rig put all together. everythings in a gigabyte 3d aurora 570 case. big and roomy. anyways...i'll add more soon.

You know you've got your black thing on backwards.

LOL... "Doh!"

1dr1ft you forgot to plug in a connector too...the one above the 24 pin connector.

LOL Again.... "Doh!"

And what "black thing" are you guys talking about?

The sweetness has arived !

the 4 pin is only if you have two video cards. and what black thing..? the black thing on the tuniq? well my fans were mounted the wrong way and i didn't want to take it out to unscrew it so i just flipped it. anyways...its coming off on sat for lapping the cpu. i'm just running tests right now. so far i'm at 3420mhz @ 1.4v, load @ 46 degrees.

You sure about that? After a little searching i found this:



Original source

So with a 7300 you are probably fine but with even one high end card you should plug it in.

yea i didn't plug it in cause i have a 7300, i was aware of that. anyways...thanks for checking.

Thanks for informing me of what it was for lol.

Oh and nice OC. I hope mine does that well. I'm only at 3060 right now(limited by the stock cooler).

My DQ6 manual says it's only needed for use with dual video cards...

uh uh high end cards need the extra power simple
and to keep it simpler, if the plug is there i'd use it

well
i managed to build up a complete rig to play some C&C3...lets see how long it takes to sell the parts.....:cool:


the stacker is a great case.......but that you all know already.....

Just completed my switch to a C2D.........:eek:

Feel kind of.. small, posting my standard-ish case with no mods next to everyone else that posted, but i'm proud of my dfi rig, damit, and i want to show people, so, here it is.
I'll start it off with my rig, descripton and specs first, then picture.
And yes i know my signature is out-dated, i'll get it updated soon, but we're required to have one to post, so, i'm using it, cute fox too.
And to your questions, no there are not any SLI 7300GT's in these pictures, i accidently destroyed one, and the other i gave as a gift to a nice co-worker.
Both the 7300's were replaced by the GTX beast.

That case is sweet, did you build that? Do you have a worklog?

Looks like a Mountain Mods case. Nice cases but $$$.

Kithylin - Looks good you just need to do some wire management...lol

not alot i can do with this case, they're all round, so, just let em hang, nothing gets hot anyway.

Just wanted to show off my newest h2o addition. I just got a 3x120mm radiator and went from 3/8in tubing to 1/2in. Dropped my loaded temp from 62C to 51C!!! But it was a bitch to install...



Moving the radistor outside cleared up a lot of space inside though. :nod:













I can never seem to get a "t" to work well. I had no room for my res with the rad on top, tubing issues... I had to fill everything up and hook it up quick like so not to sill anything. :sweat: It is done now and I can go for 3G much easier. I'd have it already if the power hadn't gone out as I was sleeping last night. :mad: This new rad works wonders though... I just need to get 3 more fans for it.

___________________________________________________________________

Looks real good, puts mine to shame





These last two were taken with my camera phone since my kid smashed my camera, excuse the craptacular image quality.





That VFD looks sweet, I'll have to get that eventually, as well as the flip-out LCD and a secondary ITX board. Just love these cases, I don't think I will ever get bored with it.

Man I like those cases! Looks good Reelfiles

Thanks, those pics are a little older, my X-FI and the OCZ RAM i bought from you aren't even installed yet. I also have some subtle ultraviolet lighting in the case that just didn't show up on the camera phone. I can fit 3 more 120mm fans in there, I want to get 4 though so all of them match. The one in front of the hard drive cage is a self controlled variable speed fan, but I don't care much for it.

My big mess. lol.

lol, mine looks similar to that half the time... I'm not one to just get everything together and leave it alone... I like to play.... lol

nice lanparty logo on the PSU though... is that a sticker or is that a DFI product I don't know about?

lol. Its a sticker and its my uber-pwning 160W PSU to power those fans. Seriously, I was disappointed when my Corsair PSU couldnt handle the extra load of 6 fans......

I can run my 8 120mm fans off mine, but I got a spare 90W mini ITX PSU that fits nicely in the right side of my case. You could probably fit one in 2 ODD bays or so.

Your PSU should be able to handle six fans just fine. Maybe you had too many things on one rail? IDK I would try to spread the load out if you haven't already.

I tried to have each of the 3x Molex connector cables power 3 fans, which would mean two separate cables of 3x Molex connectors for all 6 fans. I pushed the power button, the lights went on and off again like two seconds later. So, I unplugged some fans and it started working. And now Im running 3 fans off the Corsair PSU and 3 off the little one. Whats really weird is that it can power 3 fans on one of those cables, but it cant handle two of the cables powering all six fans. I hope that made sense.lol.

Sure you don't have a short on one of those fans? Sounds like a messed up connection to me, especially if you're piggy backing them off each other. I would turn on the PSU and plug the fans in one by one, to see if it happens with the same one. If it's only a bad female end you can just put it at the end of the 'chain' Try it on your secondary PSU first, wiggling the connections to check for any problems.

I already tried that. They all work separately and in various combos of 3x on one cable, both molex cables work fine, just when I hook up 4 of em the system wont turn on.

Heres my new set up...The pic of the case is a couple years old but it cools pretty well so I just pulled out my my old DFI set up and made a new one...

thoughts and comments welcome. My Scythe CPU Cooler and Gigabyte VGA Cooler are on there way so I will post again with better pics soon.

welcome to the forums sherbanater :tooth:

nice looking case...I always liked the TT cases

Thanxx...In my eyes the S-Viking was the best Mid tower TT ever made.
My old DFI set up went to my son in a new case that I really liked but I will stick to my TT.

tell me what you think...

Sorry for the size of the images. I posted these on another forum & just copied & pasted the ULR's over here.

*EDIT*

I'll repost the pictures when I get home from work tonight!

You really should either make them smaller or thumbnail them; the mods/admins don't take kindly to large photos and often replace them with the 800x600 image of shame.

You might want to resize those before you feel the wrath of an angry gamer lol

I've felt that before, when I first registered & didn't read the rules about needing a Sig with system spec's. I got banned for a week. I'll update the post when I get home.

heres my rig with new scythe CPU Cooler and Gigabyte Cyclops VGA Cooler.
Got it to overclock to 3.2 stable...check out the PI score!

Nice rig green-man; might want to top off that res though.
