Hey goby... life's kept me too busy this past month or so. But I just finished catching up on your work.

GREAT stuff! Love how everything's progressed along!

I'm getting eager to see how you mod that touchscreen and do the PSOne mod.

Also, bummer that you couldn't enter your beast into the case mod comp. Two weeks is so close.... bummer they couldn't make an exception -- but I guess rules are rules for a reason.

Keep up the great, quality work!

I'm waiting to get paid to start my TT mod, but I'll be doing something similar to this, only I'm ordering a replacement right-side panel to use on the left side with a custom window.

Armor is a GREAT case, nice and solid. The only problem is that the side panel with the windows is just funky looking and not very "nice". I'd much rather have a simple, one-window side panel.

I spent about 2 1/2 hours last night reading this whole thing, and all I have to say is excellent job. Since I just recently built my first pc from the ground up, I also want to say thanks. I knew nothing about wiring, or anything of the sort. Tonight after UFC 68 I sat down and took my case apart and re-wired the whole thing just as you and others have, and man, it looks so much better, and the air flow is great. I cannot wait until your next update and to see some of the pictures that you have coming.

with beers!

Keep that Side Panel there and order a Thermaltake Side Panel with a 250mm Fan, you'll drop your CPU and GPU Temps by a few C and add a coolness factor. Or, make an acrylic panel and add a 200 or 250mm Fan in there.

Thanks! Glad I could help! I started on the PSone mod the other day..I actually got it working via the S-Video Port. It came right up with out having to use Powerstrip. Powerstrip is an independent (free download) software that allows you to maipulate a monitors settings. the output to the psone screen was about 1/4" shy all the way around so I need powerstrip to mazimize the resolution, yada yada yada.....so now I know that it work, I need to get another vid card to power it! stay tuned!

After I got my new fans, 114 CFM bad boys, and moved my wiring, my CPU temp went from 29 to 21. Now with that being said, I use core temp beta and my CPU is not overclocked at all, because I want to keep my stuff stock. But the idea of putting the wires behind the mobo panel was great. I used electrical tape, with no bulge. With using the Ultra X-Connect I also minimized my power cords thus making the spiders nest look like a nice floor after a dead Christmas tree. I really appreciate your work and how you can show others how to do little things that make a big difference. I don't know what I typed in google to find your post, but I am glad I did.

So with this, do you know of any site out there that explains cutting into the acrylic side. As you know the armor jr has the little 80mm side port with the mesh grill and I want to make that into a 120mm side to add another fan bringing in the air.

Again, thanks brother!

Hey goby, you still using the stock pump from the LCS system? I can't remember if you changed it. If so, how is it?
