Thank you for looking ;)

OCM :thumbsup:

Sweet 24/7 ride brother.

Sexy case ....

Nice portable little grinder ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, :thumbsup:

I always likd Lian cases. THey look so smooth.

Whoa whoa whoa mister. What camera are you using? Those first two shots are amazing quality. :thumbsup: I've always had a special place for that case. It's just so clean and simple. You gonna add a GPU later to make a gamer out of her?

TY

;)

I agree, love the minimalistic look myself.

Thank you Sir ;)
Its just one of these little cheap Sony Cybershot DSC-WX1/B.

As for GPU and gaming rig, it all depends. I've always been a console guy but maybe I'll get into PC gaming one of these days...........

OCM :thumbsup:

Once you get the hang of the keyboard/mouse combo in FPS games you will never want to look at a joystick again.;) That is until you play Kal in UT3 and he makes you want to give up gaming all together.

I hear ya. Did play quite a bit of BFBC2 with the 965be and a pair of 5770 Hawks in Crossfire before getting deep into overclocking. Unfortunately I no longer have a computer desk. I now sit on the couch like a potato with a wireless keyboard which makes it quite difficult to game on my computer.

Anywho, here are my current clocks and temps just for fun ;)

The time has finally come to water cool her. Breaking out the dremel.

Looks good. Think you'll get enough air draw from that small space? I mean, the feet are only like 1/2" tall.

Upper Radiator Mounted

Thanks. Probably not, I need to order some taller case feet.

DUDE IT LOOKS SO GOOD!

Thanks buddy :D

Looks awesome mang! :D You and Drnip have a knack for great pics. Two questions though. What hardware is going back in there and where is the final resting place of the pump going to be?

Thanks, not sure on hw yet. Just the MSI board and i5 670 for now. The pump will stay where its at, right on the rad.

Here she is all back together. Kinda need her to perform her regular 24/7 duties. I'll work on her some more once CPU block and Res get here sometime next week.

Sick OC ......... :thumbsup:

Looks great. Nice job on the space management. Looks good for a fairly small case. I'd never get my baseball mitt sized hands in there. I need a full sized tower, or bigger,......or no case at all. :laughing:

M&M that is a suck beautiful setup bro
can't wait to see when is 100% done!
i am working on my as well i'll be posting soon :P

Got a little work in today. Fitted a Phobya Water Temp Sensor in the 3.5" bay bezel. A little Monday night drilling, filing and fitting.

siiiiick :)

Was already thinking that it was looking good, but the temp sensor looks incredible!
Looking forward to seeing it completed

You have a gift OCM.

Hey that looks nice OCM, you do good work when you're bored :)

Wow. You freaking people and your immaculate cases pshh.

jk

Looks great man! I am very jealous.

Thanks gents ;)

Ran into a couple problems fitting the EK Spin Reservoir today. I do have to say, it is one pretty piece of POM Acetal. Super nice piece EK :thumbsup:

Going to have to trim a small section of the lip in the drive bay for the reservoir to fit in snug. Also going to trim on the case around the fill port for easier access.

great worklog man, but I vote we close this thread and you get back to bointing like a mofo ;)

:laughing:

Yeah, no shit lol. I do need to get her done before I start cranking out them boints again. Being UD5 less has been quite the drag. But no worries, going to try and button her up by this weekend. Then I'll be back to benchin with a vengeance :)

dude that looks amazing!
nice work bro!

Here's another look at the hand drilled top panel with stainless pan head screws painted black.

Dude your work is awsome ....

Power chord shortened and sleeved. Rig going back together slowly but surely.
