Actually its because you can't have all uppercase text, so you simply wanted to do a , so that would be all the text is in capitals, as : isn't classed as text!

Anyway, sorry goby.
This is still lookin' nice!!

I found this one.. and an hour and a half later I finished reading it. First off, I wanna thank you goby for helping me kill so much time, and getting my mind off of food (except for that half eaten bologna sandwhich that sponsored an earlier episode, even that looks delicious right now). Second off, wow, I have never seen anyone so dedicated to reaching perfection with their mod/computer build. I gotta say I'm proud of you, as a father/husband still having time to build this rig. Not to mention all the posting you did about it. The case paint looked extremely awesome, I really liked the metallic black. The watercooling you got was awesome, I really liked that you chose so many different parts, and got the best of everything!! The build will be a promising and satisfying one. Nice motherboard btw, (hint: read my specs) =] And I as well as 50000 others will bookmark this thread. Definitely looking forward to the finishing product. Keep up the amazingly good work.

WOW! I am speechless....Thanks for all the compliments!! Now the pressure is really on to make this a good mod! I only really get to work on my computer for about an hour a few days a week, and its mainly around 10pm after I put my son to sleep. I didnt have a single chance to work on it over the long weekend. oh well, I had a great time with my family though! Hopefully this week I can get back into high gear!

Not sure I know what you mean? I plan on running the wires behind the mobo tray. I am getting the el Sata cables so you can see them through the window on the other side!

Good thing that pci card is there, i was aiming to take a pic of the gfx cards plate. Bah, jittery hands.

If they had made the tooless lock out of metal, and put some strong springs on it to hold it closed it might have been useful

EDIT: off-topic - is it possible to get a chrome effect paint? I think the inside of my silver armour would look 1337 with a chrome interior and some bright CCFL's
ok, I gotcha. I was thinking PCIE slot lock on the mobo. Ya, using the screw would be a lot safer. Thanks for the tip!

Re: Chrome paint: Yes they make chrome paint....actually I was thinking about doing chrome initially. I think Chrome would look freaking awesome. Even better take it the chassis to a place that can chrome it for real. Now that would be amazing!

hehe I want an update too!

its going slow! I havent been able to work on anything since last Friday and all I could do is put the 1/2" to 3/8" reducers on the pump.

Still no fan door I think they lost it.

Still no word from PSOne LCD guy what a loser!

I think I have yet again changed my water cooling setup. I am going to have 2 reservoirs, just for fun. I am going to mount the Innovatek one that I have to the back outside of the case and I am going to build one for horizontal inside the case on the bottom. I initially was going to build my res. but since I dont have time, I got the innovatek. Well, I used to build stuff with acrylic and figured what the heck! its going to be simple anyway. so I am going to make me a res.!! Also, I am going to place an order from Frozen for all my lighting stuff, since I have a gift cert. from returning my danger den blocks.

Thats about all the news for now! sorry

If i had the money:

I'd get the case chrome plated, and get all the plastic parts made in metal and get them chromed.

A full chrome Tt Armour? Man, you just cant argue with that. It would be so unique. I'd be forever cleaning finger prints off of it though, lol.

Thanks! I would be honored to have this as a sticky!
Here are some close up of the fans. Each tube has 2 fans. 1 in the front and 1 in the back. They pull cool air in the case across the cpu then over the ram. Its really efficient cooling.

top fan over the CPU


another angle


Here is the other fan that I pulled off. I have to mod it for the northbridge block to fit.





So her is what I have been able to work on the past few days.

I decided to get one more thing out of the way, and put the HD's in the cage.


oooooh, purty! 3 Raptors all in a row! 2 x 74 gig and 1 150 gig!



My water cooling system is all 3/8" so I have to reduce the I/O of the pump. These are Koolance 1/2" to 3/8" reducers on the Swiftek pump.



Now I took the advice of some guys here and removed the PCI locks. and I also decided to mount the Innovatek res on the outside.....like its supposed tobe mounted. I am going to build another horizontal mounted res for the inside of the case.

I used a step drill bit for the first time and they ROCK!! although they are fricken $$$. My jaw about hit the floor when I was at lowes buying them. But they are so worth it! Drilles very nice. And id the case didnt have any paint it would have drilled a flawless hole!



So here I drilled the 2 holes for the input and output of the res. I used the hole grommets that came with the Armor LCS case. Fits nicely!





Close-up


Here are some of the reservoir installed.







Thats about it for now.....hopefully get the water cooling system wet testing asap! then plug everything else in and test this sucker. Then for the modding projects! Still lots to come!

Goby Out!
