Question [Case Mod Comp 2008] THE XICLE
[First Time Case Mod competitor]

- SECOND PLACE WINNER IN THE OCN CASE MOD COMP. '08 (PRO CATEGORY)
- FIRST PLACE IN ANOTHER COMP.

NOW IS TIME FOR EVOLUTION... THE XICLE EVO 1.5 UPDATES HERE:
FIRST UPDATE

The Happy FACE murder update

SO I DID MY RESEARCH AND MY MEASURE SO FAR SO HERE'S WHAT I GONNA DO MY PROJECT NAME IS THE XYCLE... SO FIGURE IT OUT WHY...

PART LIST
1. BIOSTAR GF7050V-M7 LGA 775 NVIDIA GeForce 7050 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
2. Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 Yorkfield 2.5GHz LGA 775 95W
3. Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500)
4. Masscool 8WA740 Socket 775 Heat Sink
5. 2x Seagate Momentus 7200.2 ST9160823AS 160GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb
6. LITE-ON Slim 8X DVD Burner Black SATA Model DS-8A2S-A01
7. MSI N9600GT 512M OC GeForce 9600 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card OUT
8. 1x pci-e 6 pin molex uv green
9. 3x 4" SATA II Device Cable Straight to Straight 3.0 Gbps
10. Heatshrinks and Cable sleeving (Green and Yellow - UV)
11. 1x vandal resistant illuminated switch 16mm - green ring
12. Connectx™ ATX 24-pin Female connector housing - UV Green
13. 3x ConnectX Pro SATA Power Connector - UV Green
14. 1 P4 molex uv green
15. usb 2.0 pci card adapter 5 ports
16. Quad USB 2.0 Bracket - 4 Wire, (2) 10-Pin Connectors
17. Aerocool Xtreme Turbine LED Case Fan 120mm - Black Frame Silver blades
18. ESTAR-450-24 -- Echo Star 450W 20+4-pin ATX PSU w/SATA
19. CB-BT2-USB-DONGLE -- Cyber-Blue Bluetooth v2.0
20. SIL-LK-802 -- USB Wireless Multimedia Keyboard & Mouse
21. USB-WIRELESS-GAMEPAD -- USB Wireless Gamepad
22. Spray Paint (Yellow - Green)
23. 2x 24x18 Plexi sheet

So the Plan is to fit all of this into a 11.25" round case... let see what happens...!!!

3D VIEW OF THE PROJECT








I GONNA USE LAPTOP HDD CUZ THEY FIT PERFECTLY AND SAVE SOME SPACE AND LESS WEIGHT TOO.

CALCULATING THE SPACE: 1 3.5" HDD = 4 2.5" HDD

THE ROUND CASE (I FOUND THIS IN DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AND BRING IT CUZ I NOW I CAN'T GO TO ANY STORE AND ASK FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT WHAT A SHAME)


FIT PERFECTLY IN AN ATX CASE

TESTING THE BOARD SIZE...

THE PLEXI (CLEAR CLEAR CLEAR?)
