ravix Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 First off, I apologise for the low quality pictures. I am currently in the market for a new digicam, and I promise the final thread and my submission to the case gallery will have MUCH nicer pictures. But, even with sub-par photography, I think you guys will appreciate the work I have put on this case. I was finally able to install the hardware a couple days ago, and I feel great about it. The watercooling is performing GREAT! WAAAAY better than my last setup, so I am very pleased. Anyway, words are boring, here come the pictures... Here I am about to put in the processor for the first time. Note the fillport I added on top. VERY handy and well made. Look at those sexy tubes in the front. The new TDX paired with my new fans and rad allow me to run great temps. I am getting about 26 degrees at stock voltage, 32 at 1.8v and 36-38 at 2.0v. Not bad at all. (all temps were with folding and prime95 running) As I installed components I found that I had a large amount of copper in my system. I bought a copper vantec chipset cooler to match the theme. UV dye is pretty. Sorry for the pic quality. After installing everything I found that it wouldn't boot? So I did what every good OCC'r would do and built another computer to test the components indivually. After testying EVERY component, I found that the reset switch is somehow fubared. The computer would only work with the reset switch held in. :shrug: After unplugging it everything went great. I still have alot to do. Including: More wire management!!! Mount case feet again. Cut window in side panel Install cathodes much more... But this is a big step and I thought I share it with you guys. Comments?

LobbDogg Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 looking good so far, but yeah you do have some more stuff to do yet. Keep it up! And oddly enough I've worked on a computer that wouldn't POST when the power switch was plugged into the mobo. It would power on but would not POST, use a screwdriver to jump the mobo and it would work great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeble Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 That is one sweet machine. After installing everything I found that it wouldn't boot? So I did what every good OCC'r would do and built another computer to test the components indivually. After testying EVERY component, I found that the reset switch is somehow fubared. The computer would only work with the reset switch held in. :shrug: After unplugging it everything went great.421555[/snapback] Is it possible that the power and reset buttons were switched when you plugged them into the header on the mobo?
