Have to say I'm really impressed with what you did with the Antec Nine Hundred case, I've followed this thread for a while but never posted until now. I've had one myself for a while and would really love to set it apart from the crowd, it seems like everyone has one!

With no modification, it's a really noisy case. I've got a pair of Raptors in mine and they make a hell of a noise compared to my old Enermax CS-527! I'm thinking of investing in some Scythe Stabiliser IIs but have been put off since my Zalman ZM2HC2 hard drive cooler/silence things didn't fit at all.

Is it possible to fit and screw in the Stabilisers without having to modify the case at all? From some of the pictures, it looks like they're screwed in, but from others it looks like they're just resting on the supports. I'm worried they won't fit behind the fan and will stick out too far to be screwed in.

Thanks in advance for any experiences you can pass on, keep up the good work!

Rado showing me that he can light his thumb on fire.



He was extremely pleased with himself.
Obviously some trick he learned while completing his Master's when he should have been working on the RadoBase.

We both have birthdays this week so we aren't going to get squat done (partying and sheet) but we hope to get the RadoBases completed shortly.
I'm ordering some more feet for the second base tomorrow.

Really happy with my new X3110. Thrilled to death.
Both cores read the same temps (using latest Real Temp) and they seem to track well (as opposed to being stuck or misreporting).
Clocks better too.



Also purchased a Zalman 9700 NT.



So I will be using the DFI LT LP P35/X3110/Zalman 9700 NT with Green CCFLs
in the SR-1.
And I'll go with the ASUS Maximus/E8400/Zalman 9700LED with Blue CCFLs in the SR-2.
Trying to do a little color coordination deal thingy here

Got a pic of both rigs:



I want them to be similar, but yet different looking.

Hterag asked a good question about the HDD mounting.
Yes, an additional hole would need to be drilled to securely mount the HDD due to the metal plates on the side.
I initially had them just secured in the front as I found it was an advantage to be able to lift up the rear of the HDD for cable management.



I managed to find some hard rubber washers about the same thickness as the metal side bar and put them next to the HDD.
No ;pnger using the metal piece on the side.



The vibration is definitely less with the HDDs mounted this way.

Thought I would put some of MNPCTech's carbon fiber vinyl film on the optical drives to make them stand out a bit.
An awful lot of recesses and curves on the Samsung SATA drive but I was very pleased with how the "carbon fiber" turned out.



Pic of both Optical and HDD mounted in the case now.



Also found a hot deal on a new PSU.
Looks like Frys may be phasing out the Ultra brand as their Ultra X-Pro 600W EE PSU (ULT40053) is on sale for $49.90 INCLUDING SHIPPING.

It's got good reviews from Jonny Guru and SPCR so you may want to jump on this before they sell out.
Hale of a great deal!

Oh man!!!

Where on earth did you find a nine hundred for forty-five bux??

Ever since I switched over to my new cooler I've had to run with the case side off, cause otherwise it just gets too hot!

One day Sale at Frys with a $25 rebate = $45.
Outpost seems to have some great deals.

Have you tried reseating the HSF ceedub?

Looks good soundx98, so you're fitting the hard drives without the metal bracer parts? That's an interesting idea, I may yet get some of those Scythe Stabilizers after all, I really can't stand the noise my Raptors make when I give them something to do!

In my old case, I had a pair of Zalman ZM-2HC2 hard drive coolers and they made a huge difference, the drives were inaudible, now to go to this steel case... It's awful.
