It's 1/2" black Tygon.

That is a 74gb Velociraptor with an aluminum plate that I cut then screwed into the mounting holes of the hdd with thumb-screws. The four copper heatsinks are Enzotech are just stuck to the side of the HDD. The drive is stuck to the side of the bay with velcro.

The fans on the radiator are getting replaced with 88cfm Scythe Slipstreams. The rad has wide fin spacing so they need a fan with a little more oomph. I'm hoping the heatkiller block I'm getting tomorrow will give me a bit of a temp drop, but until I get the new fans I doubt it.

:toast:

So I have an idea now, is there a better picture you can provide. Is the HDD inside the cage or on the outside of it?

It's on the outside of the 5.25" bay. (see pic)

There is a HDD cage within the bay from an Antec 900 that houses the front fan and two other HDD's.

hey erocker,

Your rig is beautiful, and those fans are just pure sex! Question, what is that on the side of the HDD cage, looks like heatsinks sticking out the top of that plate.

I'm going to assume it's his SSD :)

This computer wont post and it breaks my heart! i called asus and they tell me the bios that came with the board doesnt support the CPU so they are sending me another bios chip with the newest flash to get me up and running.

yea thats crazy how much that memory costs! but i didnt pay that much for it. i got it for 70$ shipped on hard forums

*edit* yea the cable management issnt the best but i was trouble shooting and messing things up in there LOL once it RUNS i will do a better job at the cable management

and may i ask what is so special about the memory since they cost 500 freaking $:banghead:

i cannot see anything special about them.

but good service by asus though, just sucks for you i guess, how long do you have to wait?

I have had good experience with G skill as far as reliability and stuff, but they dont clock to their specs. You have to tweak them in order to do it. Me and two other people have had the same issues with them.

yeah I got mine to run at specs with more voltage than it needed, way more. My buddy ordered 8 gigs of DDR2 for his Phenom II, DDR2 1150 or something like that, they wouldn't boot at that spec, we took out a few sticks, nothing. I know somebody also with that issue, but don't remember the details.

Are you running your RAM at 1.9v like they are supposed to be? I know most AMD board bios' default the voltage to 1.6v. The RAM should work great with AMD, the low latency higher voltage stuff usually does.
