k thanks. i have a dremel w/ about 300 bits. i can swing by my pops and grab the soldering iron and flux.

about how much does the rosin soldier and momentary switch cost?

Solder and flux is cheap, the switch is like 2 bucks. If you have random old pc cases with parts lying around in a storage unit like i do, you could grab a quick disconnect from an old fan and molex converter so that when you pull off your top you have a way to disconnect the wiring job. In total I used about 2ft max of wire, and I have an excess of a good 8-12 inches. You only need 2 wires, so if you can find any kind of quick disconnect, just remove extra wires so you have two connected and it will work great. Not a necessity, but makes future modding much more accessible. BTW you have to void your warranty on your optical drive to complete the mod, so keep that in mind before you try it. Soldering is easy, as long as you have a steady hand it takes about 5 minutes to do that part.

The TTBT got lapped along with my E6750. Temps dropped 15-20 deg. avg. so far.

Also not in pic's, I got a sheet of acryllic that I am going to make an entire side panel from. I will update as the panel progresses.

Default CM-690 and the Power Supply

It seems the case fits a 700w power supply nicely. The bottom vent lines up with the fan. The port in the motherboard plate allows the extra cables to slide underneath.

However, with the 1000w supply, the fan port doesn't line up and the the PSU covers most of the port in the motherboard plate, requiring the cables to be threaded in advance. And the gap between the bottom of the motherboard plate and the side of the case is too tight for the extra cables on the non-modular Cooler Master 1000w supply.

How do you run a big supply with non-modular cables in the CM-690 case?
