alright well ive been out of the Computer modding/ making scene for a while now and well I wanted to come back with a bang well Ive come up with a great Idea since ive already done a triple loop in WCing I wanted to go to the next step. sooo here it is my idea of the next step is using a TEC to cool my cpu a big thanks to ira-k for all his GREAT help and for standing my insistent questions well heres the setup:


I love the look of this case it just looks soo sexy


what I have to work with


marked off what is going to get cut


and its been stripped


and the chassis is NAKED!

680i LT[DEAD] - the first go on this then i go to my 790i


how all the screws are being saved for when i put the system back



test fitting


the GPU




i love how they write AMD down low




test fitted


the clearance


680i LT NB


awesome E8400


Sony Blu ray drive


Nothing more I can do till more stuff arrives so all put away neatly

and more stuff arrives (im posting pics taken from last week)

small box computer stuff big box ROCK BAND 2 DRUM SET!!



My PSU


Conformal Coating and Dielectric grease

omaryunus

Continuing Pics:



one of my fan controllers


my memory

well here is where i got creative I wanted to save as much bay space as i could and I didnt want to place my three hard drives in 3 slots so i drew up some plans and i came up with something that would only take up 2 slots and holds 3 HDDs nothing is sold that is able to do this most of them are 3 bays and hold 4 HDDs... so here is the prototype:



i sent that to my friend and he made a few changes to it and finished both sides:




and yes he added the fan good touch keeps the HDDs cooler since they are so compact

here is how it works:





it is placed in the bay with 2 Sycthe Antivibration 3.5" to 5.25" converters


and the fan moves

so since it was ready i send it for powder coating and... it is back in 2 hours




i love the finish


testing the system


on my 40" tv


love the look of this ram


WHAT A MESS!


and everything is packed up and again waiting for more packages

and again PACKAGES are here (just got this about 12 hours ago )



the small package




BP compression fittings




chrome LED holders


green fan for my custom HDD holder


pump relay using it for the relay for my auxiliary PSU for now gonna change it with a better one soon.


Green and UV LEDs

What a start....Thanks for all the pic's, I know what a pain it is to document all that...

Keep them coming, I bet I want to see your TEC'ing results as much as you do......Burn, Pinhead are Skullsafire are the only ones here TEC'ing that I know of, and I think all 3 of them have quit now, I know Burn did anyway, and Skullsafire was using small TEC's...

Yours and Manyak's builds have me like a little kid waiting on Christmas, I'll finally have some guys to compare results and technique's with on the 437W ...

Oh man, I finally convince myself that I really shouldn't upgrade my case to the Cosmos S and go watercooling , and then you go posting pictures like that?

Man I bet that broke your heart to pack all that up and leave it yesterday, it would of mine....But you have it now that the important thing..

Whoa Buddy, your going to have some fun now....Are you going to run your mobo for a few days before you insulate it? I usually do, Asus and I've heard Gigabyte will take them back with Conformal and grease on them, if that wasn't what killed the board...I e-mailed DFI and they wont take them back if they have been insulated, kind of surprised me, you would think they would be the one sthat would take them back..

Very nice job so far...Looking great...

oh you dont know the half of it ... yup going to run the board for a bit once i get my monitor the insulation will wait... im gonna run the board with my 8600 GTS since its just sitting around i already removed the stock cooling on my 4870... and well i got an XFX and they dont take it back after insulation too so it really doesnt matter... thanks for the complements
