I second that.

Normally I never watch anime in the day (only when I go to sleep) but I woke up early today and was bored.
(and Kimi ni Todoke always makes me happy, if ur having a bad day try an ep and watch how much better you feel) I just drilled the holes for the mobo into the tray (I was so fricken scared to make a mistake, lol) I moved the mobo about 1/2" towards the left so the I/O panel is now about an inch countersunk (looks nicer that way and I am planning to run the GPU power wires from the I/O side of the mobo) ![]() I sold the 4770s(shorter) and will be using the 9800GTs(longer) on this.

the 9800s ran Borderlands better
Also these are the ones that have built in displays(each card has a small display that shows voltage,rpm and temp) Easier to sell the 4770s I just like Nvidia

What kind of airflow are you preparing to take to that northbridge MK? Them suckers run pretty hot (one of the reasons I went P55).

I am using Enzotech coolers with the 120mm fan from the cpu cooler to cool it.
![]() One reason for the excellent temps here is the 120mm CPU fan is flush with the top of the comp so it draws cool outside air and floods the mobo and chip sets. hey DD did you have a Bloodrage? The original heat pipe looked cool but pretty much sucked.

Thanks for dropping by ERazer
![]() today I am mounting the Hdd rack. I had one of these on the shelf so I thought I would use it. http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Produc...C=1294&ID=1658 im always switching Hdds and I really like how this dosent mount the Hdd in a box that screws up airflow. I picked up a Raptor X and want cooling to be good. basically I am mounting it where the old DVD went. I picked up a Blueray Laptop DVD (thanks anime guys for getting me hooked) and will mount it using a design found on the GMC R2 case I picked up at Xoxides clearance sale before.http://www.auzentech.com/site/products/gmc_r2.php Basically I am gonna mount the DVD sideways behind the 7" LCD in the front.

That's going to be kick A$$ for having it mounted that way! I wanted to so bad have my dvd drive mounted side ways on the MM case... Sh1t, might still do that now that I'm going to get a few tools for myself.. Got $125 in home depot gift card... So, might go shopping!!
Great idea MK! Now.. for anime guys..

honestly I do like Nvidia better, just because I have had better luck with them. I had a bunch of ATI stuff lately (4770s,4830s,4870s) and to me they were just too hot(the 4870s radiated off a TON of heat).
Nothing has come close to the 9600GTs I had so I am quite spoiled when it comes to temps (20-30C range) Even the 9800s are almost 10C hotter. If I had it all to do over I would have gone with a pair of 1 gig GTS 250s.(but value wise nothing comes close to the 9600s I had) I was thinking of a pair of 5770s and I like the 1 gig of DDR5 but I just cant pay $150+ each for 128bit. (they may be fine just it buggs me) So I thought of a pair of 5850s but $600?? for what? DX11 (dont need it yet) Eyefinity? (I only have 1 LCD) and if the 4870s were overkill for me then 5850s are nuttso. Honestly I want a card in the middle of the 5770-5850.. So right now the 9800GTs I have (not my preference) are here now and couldnt be sold to recoup their cost so its what I got. Now they do have a couple of benefits (8800GT series is a kick ass series card) They are black PCBs One 6 pin power Dual fan coolers Cool display (+ Im making red CF brackets for them) And honestly I dont pay any attention to benches but they ran Borderlands better than the 4770s did.(and I REALLY like Borderlands) EDIT: OK here are a couple of shots of what I did First I really liked my I/O panel on the TPU Tribute case ![]() So I am doing something similar here ![]() Longer hole on the left is the PS exhaust, the right one s the exhaust for the Hdd Here is the left side of the comp showing one of the the mods I did to the hot swap Hdd ![]() (cut out door and mounted mesh for air inlet, there will be a hole in the floor as well for even more intake) Its primer now as I am thinking what color to paint the door.

The door should just be painted black. Clean and elegant.

But then he would have to perfectly match the red CF, or else it won't look quite right.
Could always try molding a red CF door, or maybe somehow throwing a layer on the current door.
