Lol, You better be keeping the Lighting suttle on this, god i hate blinding LED Jobs, looks cheap, tacky, and

People are far more impressed by a soft glow!

If it's just for gaming dont get the Q6600, even the E8400 may not be the best choice. I have used both the E7200 and E8500, in the same machine and while the E7200 was able to overclock higher the smaller cache did NOT handicap it at all against the E8500. Also I still have both processors if your intererested, little dirty but nothing some 90% Isopropyl alchohol can't fix, I also have pleny of sata HD's and DVD rw drives. Pretty much have a two whole computers, just the motherboards are bad...

Tec, You have some seriuesly awesome ideas, if possible can u get into contact with me or i can contact u over the internet, i have some ideas id like to run by a professional like yourself. Also mattzani What i did was to get the soft underglow was i got a 12inch blue cathode and took of the top(cube) and filled that thing to the brink with hot glue and let it dry(make sure its clear hot glue). When dried it is amazingly sweet.

EDIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Tec, I have an antec Case door(white) that i could send you, its the kind that has a handle on it so you could do something with that. My Question to you is, wouldnt be more pleasing to the eye if the user would not be able to see the inside of ur case from the radiator angle side, How are going to hide all the cables and such, i know you are a clean modder like me who cant stand cables in a place... Let me know what you think.

i thought about custom cuting a sheet of aluminum for the side, but i don't want to have to deal with the paint/anodizing of it. as for cabels, there will be some sevier PSU modding. also a modular PSU will make some things easear, plus i still have a few tricks left

and aZiZ1 check your pm

Hate to be the one to tell you this but they stoped making the 300. They have moved on to the 350. They still have them at xoxide.com or you can try ebay

aZiZ1 · « **Reply #38 on:** October 07, 2008, 12:11:01 PM »

Hmm, i was never a fan of the 300, it seemed to me that they had shaved down alot of quality.

whitetop · « **Reply #39 on:** October 07, 2008, 03:36:49 PM »

no no it cannot be true my 300 nnnnnnnoooooo

you should check your PM's

moving on

well i got home from my last work trip to find my acrylic waiting for me. took today off went to a wake for i guy i went to school with, worked a little on the computer and just decompressed a little.

i got the side cut and sanded down nicely. but my jig saw bit in and jumped when i was cutting the spot for the radiator and ended up cracking the acrylic in a few different places. im going to scrap this piece and cut a new one.

on to the pic's

you can see one of the smaller cracks near the screw

>< this makes me want to make a custom case. I got an old dell case that I have removed all the hardware from, but it still all works, I am going to cut a window in it and install a couple fans and an exhuast. As soon as I can get a new dremel blade ima cut the window >< Also if you need some cool idea look up monstermawds or something like that on youtube. They has some great case mod tutorials. They made this fan mount thing on the front of there case that looks awesome and I have never seen anything like it before

Love the Slight Ghetto Look of the new Side Panel, but im guessing your trying for the professional clean look.

Tec_ · « **Reply #48 on:** November 06, 2008, 05:02:06 PM »

I bought some parts today. Should be shipped by the time I get home from this business trip im on.

FreeK · « **Reply #49 on:** November 07, 2008, 08:47:32 AM »

Tec_ · « **Reply #50 on:** November 29, 2008, 08:16:56 PM »

so my parts came in awhile a go but yeah swaping servers is fun

still need to buy: PSU, Ram, HDD, Dist Drive, pump and water blocks, but enough about that on to the pics

Processor (Q6600)

MOBO

and the GPU

this card blew me away i cant wait to get this thing under power.

and wile i was opining the card the little one came to see what i was doing.

and then my ESD wrist strap became a toy

back to the box. asus threw in a leather mouse pad. its quite funny

and in the case

their is no room in this case, this is going to be fun trying to make all this fit its a good thing i cut the other half of the drive bay out.

im sure im forgetting something but my brain isn't working for some reason right now.

Tec_ · « **Reply #51 on:** December 01, 2008, 08:47:45 PM »

so my switches got in. the top switch will be used for the power and the ring will light up green when the computer is on. and the bottom switch will be the reset and the dot in the center will light up green for the HDD indicator

was

is now

(should mention i think im going to paint the whole thing soon)

also i bought a TV

the 360 is down there in the corner

psp339 · « **Reply #52 on:** December 01, 2008, 10:09:51 PM »

I bought the same rad and its coming at the end of this week with the rest of my watercooling stuff.

PhenomenalDesigns · « **Reply #53 on:** December 05, 2008, 11:59:28 AM »

Very nice, I saw this on bit-tech

Also, if possible you should put UV paint (the non conductive kind) on all your motherboard plastic peices, looks very nice with a subtle UV light or even better, black light if you can find one

robin1989 · « **Reply #58 on:** February 02, 2009, 01:53:02 PM »

very nice tec_ - ive always wanted to take a crack at watercooling but been to scared lol. maybe its time i gave it a go with my old P4 rig as thats not used. infact thinking about it whats the lowest operating temp of this sort of stuff can it endure liquid nitrogen as my mum might let me borrow some if she is in a good mood when im home over easter
