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

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

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

8pin Motherboard sleeved extension

24pin sleeved extension

Finished. 6pin PCI-E connected as well.
