haha. I have seen cube worlds cubes sold for a while but they are a bit expensive for a desk toy. Then I saw them on sale and snatched a set up! You havent got anything done on you rig because your probably just to busy playing with your TMNT!

I am pretty sure it will stick to the stand. I roughed it up with sandpaper and put on primer. I am going to put a pad down or something on the stand so the paint doesnt stick to the case. I am more worried about the PCI slot things, as they are soft plastic and can bend. so we'll see how that works out.

Yes I plan to sleeve them. gonna do them in black. Supposedly the chrome sleeving is conductive, so where these wires have to go, they touch the mobo. So I dont want to risk burnen something up.

I think I might be making a trip to fry's tonight! WHoohoo!

On a side note: My mom asked me to build my dad a rig for christmas! I cant wait, ordered all the parts yesterday. I will have a build log for that too. but it wont be nearly as in depth as this build.

I recently made my first trip into Fry's on Tuesday. I got lost (oh damn, lost in computer wonderland!) for 30-45 minutes before I finally shook myself outta the amazement to go buy what I needed. What an AWESOME store! To actually be able to see things (and get an idea of size, etc) before you buy them so you can have a better idea of what to expect... amazing! I.E. I keep considering a Tuniq/Scythe/Big Typhoon to replace my stock HSF.
HOLY BAJEEZUS is the TT Big Typhoon HUGE!!! I now am questioning the wisdom in mounting something that huge vertically on my board (at least, without an anchor for the top of the fan or something).

In other news, you're a lucky SOB to get to build not one, but two rigs right now! Good luck with your dad's rig. Looking forward to reading that log too, mate.

Stay warm in this freezing weather! It's insane outside (with the wind-gust windchill, I'll bet my area is hitting under 10° right now).

Just don't get the VX, and it'll be fine, the bolts are more than enough to hold the HS in place.

Weather here is nuts too, windchill took it below 5° F this morning!

Ya I know what you mean! When I was there I walked around for an hour before I made my self go get what I needed. and I had to force myself to go to the checkout line! I could have spent all night in there.! The store is just way to big and too much to llok at. I am not complaining how big the store is...I am mad that there isnt enough time in the day to look!!!

I got most of the stuff from the egg yesterday for the build, now I just need to get a few more things. hopefully I can start on it sometime next week.!

I'll try to keep warm. Its freaking cold out. I couldnt believe it when i saw snow yesterday morning...I didnt even know it was supposed to snow!

I will have an update tinight! I finished painting the stand and PCI things.! YAY

So here is the next update, and might be the last one for a few weeks. My sons 1st birthday is next weekend and then christmas. So I will be pretty busy. Plus my parents will be in town (from florida) for a week.

So now that the PCI adaptors have been painted I needed to sleeve them. and because the wires wont be seen(will be under the false floor) I sleeved them black and not silver. Why did you sleeve them you they wont be seen? You might ask? Well....I am anal, and I will know that they arent sleeved. Plus its unprofessional to leave a prt of it un-finished. So I wanted to make it nice all the way through!

Audio adaptor sleeved

Audio adaptor in place just above the x1900.


Closer shot


USB adaptor sleeved.


USB adaptor sleeved (front). The mobo came with 2 x dual USB adaptors. I wanted to save space and free up a PCI slot so I gor a 4 port USB adaptor from frozencpu.


Here are the 2 parts after being painted and clear coated for teh stand.

Close up





Now I didnt want the two pieces to rub together and rub off the paint so I took the clear plastic that came on the monitors and cut out pieces to act as a barrier to the paint would stay nice!


Pieces Cut out


Attached


and I did something similar for teh ends only using some thicker plastic. I sed the front cover from a Mead paper binder....if you know what I am talking about.


Finished and looking sexeh!








Here is another cable I sleeved that connects my 2 DVD drives and water pump to the PSU.
