I've heard a lot of good things about that motherboard! Hope you have fun with it

But now if I can find the correct size "posts" (fat ones) to put the bolts that secure the handles/case top/"posts"/steel top of case through.
I may not even need those plastic "tabs" there

Some more shots (from the top) as I look at positioning.

Also shot the case/handles with the AC Ryan AcrylMirror Panel in place.

Kinda reminds me of the "Gattling Gun" from Futuremark

I think they blend well into the "Industrial" look.
----------------------------------------------

I'd also like your opinions on the Corsair PSU.
It has a "Corsair 620" decal on either side.
(I hate the red)

Of course it will be flipped over in the SR-1 (fan up) and the "Corsair 620" decal is upside down.
Kinda makes it look like you were high or a tard when you assembled it. Or Both.

So I tried it with a little of the "Chrome Aluminum" vinyl from MNPCTech that I used on the drive cage area.
Sort of an accent.

other possibilities I can think of are;
a) remove red Corsair decal carefully and replace it correct orientation (ie, non-tard)
b) Use new roll of "CarbonFibre" vinyl from MNPCTech in the decal area (or all) of the PSU.
c) Remove the "Corsair 620" decal completely (totally black side, nekid)

Not sure how to tackle the Decal on the fan hub.
Unit has NOT been opened (or tested) and I'd hate to void another warranty.
--------------------------------------------------

Been doing a lot of reading about the DFI mobo.
Always exciting to use a DFI motherboard.
They seem to "fly" or "fail"

What else can I say
I'll either be "high-fivin" or "cryin"

That's an Enzotech aftermarket cooler
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/55...?tl=g40c16s229

Board came with it and a spare Bios chip (never leave home without it).

Man, I can't wait to get that E8400 and put this sucka together.

"And then"
Overclock the mofo
"And then"
Assemble the case
"And then"
Mount it on the "radoBase"
"And then"
"And then"
"And then"
"And then"

So any thoughts? comments? suggestions?

Those handles are beautiful O_O If possible, and it would seriously be appreciated by me, and probably tons of others, could you post a tutorial on how you got the handle bars placed? It's a great mod for lan party'ers haha.

soundx98 has stated on several occasions that the handles aren't permanently attached yet. He's trying to see how well he really likes it and is also waiting until he gets the case onto the "radobase" to see how they match the entire theme.

That said, I'm sure that if/when he installs them he'll post a lot of pics showing how it's done.

Oh ok, I misinterpreted @_@

What can I say, it must be my engineering background.

Anyways, why would anyone want to half-a$$ a project that's to last and that they want/should to be proud of.

Oh! and Hahahaa... "canabalize"... that's great!

My wife reminded me this morning that I turn 41 in February.

I had no idea....

*waits patiently*

I know it will be worth it.

Thanks Syr

couldn't wait for an E8500 processor any longer.
picked up an BX80570E8400 Q746A489 at Mpls MicroCenter for $189.95 and used the $25 Gift card I had as well.
About 1/2 what the E8500 would have cost me and I really didn't have the extra $150 anyway

The LT LP is used and I believe it has the 9/13 bios on it (and I have a spare bios chip also 9/13)
Doubt if I'll get a chance to do my 1st Intel build until Saturday.
I hoping it at least boots so I can flash the 0109 Bios.

Intel, please be gentle with me

soundx98 · 01-25-08

woo-hoo!
Got it to boot after a couple of C1's (turned off PSU and did a 30 second CMOS jumper clear - no BATTERY PULL used).
But it wouldn't let me into the Bios so I disconnected the HDD forcing the CD Rom to boot.
I managed to flash the 109 with the Tmod/Loggan Bios CD.

(Board was on the 10/05 Bios originally)
Once flashed I was able to enter the 0109 Bios
Out of the case on a table with CPU at 25 (Zalman 9700), PWM at 46 and Chipset at 39 in the bios at Defaults.
Gonna check around in the Bios and then connect an HDD.

Pretty happy right now, just hope I don't dork anything.
