Now for installing the case feet;

Marked the location of the 8 holes

Drilled the holes

Inserted the feet; nice snug fit so no glue necessary

Started the wiring for the LED illumination of the feet

Finished wiring the LEDs

Mounted the fan controller

Now a gallery of the (almost) finished case

I still have to install the CCFLs and H2O items as well as do the custom length wiring (and sleeving) of the fans. Once I get all the hardware into the case I'll do some tidying of the cabling. The one front panel that currently isn't hooked up will be used as eject/activity indicator for the CD drive.

W00T I received a sponsorship package from DangerDen Today.

Here are the goodies:

2x Black Ice X-Flow Xtreme III radiators with 1/2" barbs

2x 8800 GTX/ULTRA waterblocks with stubby SLI barb and single-slot bracket

2x Brass Fill-ports, 24x Plastic snap hose clamps, and 20' 1/2" ID Tygon tubing

LGA775 TDX CPU block, i875 Maze4 chipset block, Maze4 Chipset block, Lucite 680i top for Maze4 blocks (not exactly sure which top is best for the southbridge of the DFI 680i; so DD was nice enough to send both tops so I can use what fits best)

Finally the variable speed D5 pump

I'll have more progress updates soon; Just wanted to share pics of the new gear.

Soon to be custom pump mounting bracket

Bent to shape

Added pump mounting holes

Mounted and sleeved the fans for the front RAD

Installed some of the tubing

Re-installed the drive bays; decided to go with frosted sides on the drive bays

Shot from the front to better show the run of tubing

Also tidied up the cabling for the front panel switches

2 shots to give an idea how some of the lighting will look

I like the size; at least no space issues, and installing the H2O is easy.
