@CP don't worry about the heatsink i found the clip for my xiggy today so i will be putting that on shortly then i will clean the V1 and put it on the other rig

Madmax, what is that blue thing on the top of your case? I can see it on pic2 right on top.

It seems to be the foot of a webcam like it seems to be in pic 1

Weird placement of a webcam, on top of the case. I can't see much when browsing on my phone, some pics get blury.

it's my truckers clock my aunty gave me
a very peculiar thing that stays in the same place (using ball bearings and weights)what ever way ya turn it
sadly it doesn't light up (yet)

Got my new Thermaltake Toughpower in the mail on Friday, it's alot quieter than my old Mushkin. Not a bad unit, it's no Enermax or Seasonic, but hopefully will work fine for me plus it was really cheap. Got home from work, went in the side door and checked my email, had a message that my PSU had been shipped, cool. Clicked on the UPS tracking number, said package had been delivered, location front door. What? Went and looked, sure enough there it was. Nice surprise.

Since it is common knowlege that you TPUers are all about the backside:

Not very attractive. It takes three arms and a midget to get the back panel slid on, also had to use my trusty forehead.

Man, I sure need to update to SATA optical drives. Also, have any of you ever removed the expansion slot deals from a video card for painting? I would really like to get rid of the silver there.

@ Madmax - What is this neat looking little contraption?

Oh yeah. Rip it off and paint it up!

Its really easy.Just unscrew the dvi-vga holders,where the vga-dvi cable would screw on,and remove it from the PCB.Its piece of cake!:D

DICE?

It's a flux capacitor, anyone could tell you that :cool:

Fuckin' A man! NICE! You now get a million win points for that case! I'd buy it in a second but it's too big for me lol, wonder will they release a slightly smaller version lol. Just a shame it doesn't come with 3 top mounted exhaust fans since it's so expensive, I mean it's an amazing case, but it only has barebone fans, and considering the intake isn't the best, you'd think it would have more exhaust fans. I'm gonna buy 3 120mm fans soon to replace my stock Antec ones, so when I get the Obsidian 800D in January I'll have 3 fans though lol

Thanks Dave, It's a monster and I love it. The intake is limited to the bottom only, but you can place another 120mm directly under the 140 pointing at the gpu's. Since I'm watercooling the cpu I dont mind the whole cases air flow, the 3x120 radiator has 3x1900rpm fans on the bottom side with 2x800rpm fans on the topside. Still whisper quite with the 1900's lowered to 50%.

my first case paint sorry got my crappy camera/phone got stolen, this where taken after with my brother phone....sorry for the pic quality wish i could show you better the finish, but well cant say its perfect but im happy :laugh::toast:

dont mind that blue led, the other green died T.T and only had that spare going to buy the replacement soon

nice setup onderon! I like green lights too. i need more lights but my wife says my computer looks like a vegas show

@ Onderon - Nice interior paint, always makes things look better to cover up the grey/silver.

a few pics of my rig, with the new FOXCONN A7DA-S 3.0, and Ripjaws.... the pics of the bare a64 somehow vanished.... i make new ones, pos pc,ok?;)

Nice stuffs :) Seeing that block makes me want to WC again... But I won't. I'm getting rid of my excessive pile of worthless junk and I don't need a new pile :p

What are you using for liquid though? Looks dusty/grey/weird to me.

distilled, it only got white due to little copper bits from drilling my old rad, doesnt hinder performance, just looks awful. i just have to renew the tubing;)

I don't know, it's not often you see a swamp water effect like you have going, pretty original. Bad ass looking MB.

that looks.....*runs to change pants* amazing. I love it.:toast: hows the new board treating you?
