No new mods for me for a bit (I am gonna refine this one ) When it comes to the rear pins
![]() I have several options, I can use the rear plug, front plug or even remove the pins and make the mobo back the way it was (unlikely as its pretty cool being able to use either the front or rear plug) I WILL NEVER USE AN EXTENSION

not even if it's a "pump"?
MK, I love how you did the mod to the board... I'd be to scared to do it since I'd probably kill the board!

I killed one of the first ones I did (done about 40 so far) It was a DFI Expert skt 939, it nearly broke my heart.
I have learned quite a bit since, the main thing is while soldering if it takes more than 1 or 2 sec to solder a joint somethings wrong and there is gonna be trouble.

Awesome, awesome work MK! I (like everyone here) also love the backwards power connectors and the fantastic CF work.
Are you still going to use the copper 12V graphics card power rods? Although they would look better painted black (the song springs to mind again) now with the red/black colour scheme...

Definitely, black. I eliminated all visible traces of copper on the mobo. I forget who but someone earlier even suggested replacing the blue mobo jumpers so I replaced them with red ones. And thanks guys.

Your work is impressive and I give you a lot of credit for the de-soldering and re-soldering of the mobo.
I know that you've done it numerous times, but I am amazed that you thought of it in the first place and actually tried it on a working mobo. A wireless PC is very cool. |

![]() I am constantly removing cables and swapping parts (almost daily) so all the wiring mess is such a bother. This comp is just a first step in a completely wireless comp. my goal was to include a wireless transmitter for keyboard and mouse as well. Throw in some wireless speakers and figure a way to get a signal to the monitor and voila! my vision....

Thanks ERazer
MP: here is the left side of the comp (I/O) ![]() (the CF was such a pain in the butt to work with but this shot makes it all worth it, it just looks fricken bad ass) ![]() ![]() A few differences over the earlier versions are: I countersunk the I/O panel more so the plugs would be more flush (since I knew I wouldnt be using cards over 9.5" long it made sense to me) I moved the AC outlet to the rear on the new version, earlier versions had it in the exhaust outlet for the PS.(that improved the airflow of the PS which also cools off the rear of the mobo) Also on the rear panel you can see the intake for the lower 5770.
