I'm liking how this looks! Subbed. (I'm a Sophmore in Highschool, so maybe i'll get some inspiration.)

Haha, you're never alone....

I'm thinking of building my own case soon...I really want a full ATX case with a horizontal motherboard layout and support for multiple radiators.

Yeah i totally understand. I just don't have 500-700 bucks to spend on a caselabs case. I also want the challenge too. I just don't know what case i could start off on that is Horizontal and ATX. Maybe the Haf XB evo?

I was actually going to suggest the Half XB Evo, if not, and you really want a challenge, maybe you could do something like the death start build on here, where you take two vertical ATX cases, combine them together, but unlike him, flip the motherboard layout to horizontal!

Yeah, i think i may get a corsair air 540, and cut out the insides and lay the mobo horizontally. Of course i'll need to make a pedestal for rads and such, but i think it'll work.

Where i live, most people's computers have pentium 4's and such. My school desktops have Core 2 Duo's. It sucks not being able to talk computers with people, but atleast i have OCN

Also, packages are running late apparently, so they won't be in until tomorrow and Wednesday... I'm soooo impatient...

I hate apple for making people computer ignorant

It's pretty much me and one other person who actually build computers.

True! They make some quality phones though

I might take that up... i need to get 1 or 2 more rads anyway thanks

Haha. Maybe i could mount the mobo higher up and mount the rads below....that's actually a good idea... Line the walls in rads...

Not much happened today in our build. An order from LutroO came in today, nothing exciting, some terminals, heatshrink, and a wire stripper. We're waiting for the ratchet crimper to come in, which should be here any day now, and after that, we can start our sleeving!!!

Found the link: http://www.overclock.net/t/630719/intermediate-2010-roots-reggae-music-mod

I also love my ratcheting crimper. It is a must for sleeving.

Today Ninja and I are heading down to a local university to see what nice tools we can get access to down there such as laser cutters, and 3D printers, wish us luck!

omg 3D printers...what i could do with one of those

. Good luck!

When we got to actually designing it, we thought we could put the name on the front but then realize, "Wait, there's no name...", soooo... any ideas????

Titonium... Titanium look + Plutonium = Titonium
