Default [Project] Gotta HAF it Green and Blue
It was time. I wanted to get my fingers wet again. I liked the way my NZXT Tempest came out, but i wanted something cleaner with MORE space. My boss got one of these cases a while back and didnt realize its full potential untill i started seeing others stuff it full of stuff...

So here is my start. Right now i needed to at least get my rig into it and make it usable. The weather in michigan is still as stable as Linsey Lohan after a coke binge, so painting the inside is not an option yet. Another month or two and she'll be torn back down for painting, that is unless i have to go on the road (possibly getting my CDL-A).

Here's my rig:

What liquid is that? It glows pretty good for no UV lights to be in there.

Its actually the little container of crap that came with the Swiftech 220 ultra kit. Its nothing special just some green nail-polish-remover smelling stuff. Doesn't say anything about UV reactive, which wouldnt matter anyway since i dont have UV cathodes.

Emersonsc, very impressive! How long did it take you to setup/configure everything? The wire management is clean.

Great job

Great job
As it sits now, it took about 10 hours. The difficult part for me was figuring out where and how to mount the pump. The other tough part was figuring out how to sleeve haha I had never sleeved before and thought it was like heat shrink. NOPE. tha stuff melts and makes a mess when near heat oh well you live you learn

I still have a toggle switch to mount for the cathodes, and i got to flip the side fan over to use that as an exaust. Right now my case ambient temps are too high, im sitting at around 40 idle. Not happy with that as it brought all my temps up to around 40-43.

The top and bottom rads are pulling cool air in, the back fan as well. The front fan is the exhaust. and im making the side fan exhaust too. Anyone have ideas for a different set-up?
