I've had a good New Year's Day. In addition to making it through another year, I finally figured out how to mount my CoolIT Eco in the top 120 fan bay of my Vulcan. This means I can now get a 2nd 6950 and do crossfire again...If I need to. :D

Hope to get some new pictures up soon. :cool:

Some quick pictures. Don't know why I never though of putting the radiator itself in the top fan bay. Didn't know how I was going to secure it there since it didn't line up with the fan holes, but didn't need screws. It is held there by the sides of the fan bay and the force of the hoses. It's not going anywhere.

The fan doesn't line up on it, but instead is sitting on the legs of the heatsink with some double sided tape on top. Seems to working fine so far, and let me move the video card into the 1st slot without the hoses in the way. :D

Looks good! Is the vulcan smaller than the lexa? That case looks incredibly cramped compared to my lexa s.

Yes. It's a micro-ATX case. Definitely a challenge to work with, but worth it. :)

That is pretty sweet Popcorn!:) but my concern is about how you mounted the rad? even if it doesn't line up with the fan holes you should still be able to use screws/ washers through the mesh holes. That would be a shame if something well and damaged hardware, even if it's highly unlikely you never want to find out.

Here's my earlier posts with the crossfire 4830s.

The NZXT Case Clubhouse

Those cards were short enough to allow the ECO tubes to pass to the front. But the HD6950 seems like those two put together.

Now the radiator is on top, which I didn't think was possible. Going to remove it and try different mount, but I really do think it's secure this way. Those tubes are incredibly strong and rigid.

Couple more new pics.

Canon EOS Rebel XT with Canon EF-S 10-22mm lens. Not the best for low light, but it's my favorite because it gives such wide views and allows different angles.

I haven't been keeping up on these things lately. A quick look shows me that lens only has limited availability as used, and goes here for around $70 to $100. So I'd say that is a fair price.
