Project Ascension - Extreme Overkill
Okay, I'm replacing my TT Armor with one external PA120.3 (see Signature) with a Mountain Mods Ascension case containing two PA120.3s internal. Why "Extreme Overkill?" I plan to have two loops cooling one component each - a cpu in on and gpu in the other. Why? Uh, future growth, maybe? Actually, just because I can
__________________ Anyway it may take me some time to complete this build as I don't have as much free time anymore. However, I thought I'd go ahead and start a build log and just add as I move along. Here are the components that have arrived so far. Here's the unpacked and unassembled Ascension: [IMG]  [/IMG]...And some components:   Here's a shot of the assembled ascension:  Here's a shot of the back. As you can see, you could add a third PA120.3, but I'll use those for exhaust fans:  ...and here's a shot of it next to my Armor to give you a perspective on the size of this beast:  This may take me a couple of weekends.

Ah a fellow overkill case owner
Nice watercooling setup, mine is coming in a few pay checks. I havn't decided if I want to do a 480 square rad in my case or just a single yet. Good luck, it should be a great rig.

The trick with drilling holes in plexi is to go VERY slowly.

not rotary speed tony, but rather the speed in which you lower the drill.

I HAVE SNAIL CASE!

Often helps if you support the plexi with a piece of wood or something underneath it so that as you break through the other side of the plexi is doesn't put too much strain on it and cause it to snap/crack/pop!

Anyway, waiting to hear from MM on how much a pre-drilled replacement will cost me.
