Didn't have good luck with them tonight. I'm hitting the sack, tomorrow is another day. Couldn't even finish one run tonight :(

Well, I started working on my sleeving. I've done just the fan below, this one will go by the VGA slot to help vent out the heat produced by the cards. I've sleeved some wires that go in the backside and also the front panel connectors will be sleeved sometime this week. Here is the fan I've done so far.

Ok, got the rest of my sleeving done for now. Next is the PSU extender cables :)

The 3pin fan extension will be eliminated soon. I'm just going to extend the connection from the fan to the fan controller and sleeve it. But for now it looks better :)

Thank you. I'm working on mounting the HDD now :)

Chicken Patty 01-07-2010 07:22 PM

Well dudes, finally got the AMD setup going. This is the absolute end of Phase 1 for this project. The final tweaks was rotating the HDD cage, and flipped HDD's around to have the cables connect by the front of the case instead of towards the middle by the graphics card. This way they stay out of the way and hidden :)

Should I also twist a capacitor slightly on the top card so it matches with the bottom one? :D I take your post as a compliment, thank you very much. :toast:

Thanks Rogue. As far as your rig, get creative! By some tools, and start the modding :toast:

Chicken Patty 01-29-2010 09:59 PM

It's been a while, almost a month since last update. I haven't done much to the rig as I have been busy working on my car and getting it dialed in here and there. Well, the only changes so far to the rig have been a Corsair H50, and I put my 2900xt in there for testing purposes. Pretty soon I'll have a 5xxx series card in there and some new RAM. After that I need to start with phase 2 which involves some sleeving and stuff like that. But that might be a while from now still.

Here are some updated pics of my rig in the meantime.

Well folks, who's ready for some updates? I just placed my order for sleeved extensions. The extensions are for the 24 pin, mobo 8pin, and PCI-E 6 pin. Can't wait to see those and install them. Should give a much nicer look to the rig.

In the meantime here is a current pic of my setup with my XFX Radeon 5770 :toast:

not on this rig, I plan on getting another one for my bencher/cruncher later on.

Chicken Patty 02-18-2010 06:58 PM

Here you guys, the sleeved extensions are in and installed. The power cable and SATA cable are ran for the SSD already. The three HDD's in the front have all cables ran as well. Just a matter of installing W7 and doing the RAID then hooking up the cables.

Here we go fellas:

The 24 pin and the 6 pin PCI-E straight out of the bag

OkGEAR 12" SATA II Straight to Left Angle cable

Front HDD's Top: 500 GB Barracuda, middle 1TB Barracuda, bottom 1TB Barracuda
http://img.techpowerup.org/100219/P2194436.jpg
8pin Motherboard sleeved extension

Finished. 6pin PCI-E connected as well.

Thats looking better and better every time david

Chicken Patty 02-18-2010 07:02 PM

Thanks Juan. I know it's dusty, but once I hook up all the HDD"s this weekend and install W7 I'll head over to my buddies house and use his air compressor :D

What I want to do next is work on a plate to go on the backside of the HDD cage so that you cannot see the cables through the HDD cage when looking through it.

Rogue210 02-18-2010 11:16 PM

Nice work Chx Patty :)
