Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I am still alive.

been a rough few weeks. I got a really bad cold on top of recovery from surgery, so I havent really done anything except go to work and go to bed. I did manage to install my storage drive (150 Raptor). I have some other stuff coming in the mail so I can finish the wire organization. I am waiting on my new Lite-on 16x lightscribe DVD RW, mx518 mouse, and other misc supplies.

I'll try and get some more pics up tonight just for fun, until a real update.

Happy Halloween!

HEY PARTY PEOPLE!!!!!!!!

ITS TIME FOR AN UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOOHOOOOOO

So, I am finally getting better! I feel pretty good except for a lingering cough. recovering well from the surgery stuff too!

So back on track and enough with the sickness junk!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------

Pretty much I left off after I had the rig functional. Got winXP loaded and was configuring everything. I had all the wires exposed and it looked like a very bad rats nest!!

So finally I am getting back on track and starting the next phase which is wire management!

I mounted the 15g Raptor in the 3.5" bay just above the water pump. I actually have enough room below it for another 3.5" item.

next.........

my plan is to have a false wall next to the mobo and a false floor. They will be raised off the wal/floor about a half inch, so I can hide the wires beind these pseudo walls.

as I mentioned a long time ago, I found some diamond plate aluminum which I was going to use for the walls.

So I got the pieces back from the machine shop (AKA father in-laws garage

) and I am ready to rock!!

The big one on the right is the floor and the one on left is the mobo wall piece.

So then I was just waiting for the final pieces of gear to show of so I can continue with the project.

I got:

-Logitech MX518 Gaming Mouse
-Liteon 16x DVD-RW with Lightscribe
-Molex Crimping Tool
-More Chrome sleaving and misc parts
-Chrome IDE wires
-CPU stand - wife said that the rig has to go on the floor(becuase its so big), so I wanted it mobile and elevated.
-IDE to SATA adaptor

I am going to paint it the same color black as I did the inside of the case.

I plan on taking out the IDE cable and possibly use the sleeving and tube to sleeve some of the power wires....project.

and this is the nifty IDE to SATA adaptor. I ran out of SATA plugs on the mobo, so it was either the converter or a sata PCI card. Well, I really dont have room for a sata card so I decided to get this. The adaptor will be used for the 150g Raptor storage drive.

so now on to MODDING!!!

In order to attach the false wall next to the mobo, I decided to use the existing pre-drilled, pre-tapped holes and also use the extra stand offs I got with the case.

I wanted the mobo to be far enough off the mobo tray so I could fit some beefy wires through there. Its about 6/8" off. two stand offs together.

Here are a few shots of the stand offs in place

Next I made a template so I coule line upt the stand off and drill the mouting holes in teh false wall.

Holes drilled in the wall.....

and finally mounted.

Now my next step is to get the false floor mounted in. This will be a little tricky since the holes in the bottom arent tapped and are to big for the stand offs. So I have to think about a different idea about mounting the plate.

Good to see you back.

Nice pseudo wall. Very interesting mod indeed. Can't wait to see it with all the wires hidden.

BrinNutz · 11-13-06

Pretty Sweet man...

I wanna see it in person!!

Hopefully we'll be able to hang out a bit, maybe I can give ya some more ideas when I'm there..LOL..

Be in Indy this Sunday!!

BTW...I have a specialty in cable management, though nothing like slade's or usforces..LOL
