Cheers mate, for some reason it's 1280x960 although it should be 1280x1024. No biggy.

Your chassis reminds me of a Stormtrooper from Star Wars, nice design though.

Edit: Why won't my pictures appear in the post?
looks like not many opportunities for cable management in that case but I guarantee you a few cable ties and patience will do wonders for airflow and looks and will make thing easier to get at without having to wade through a birds nest to get at

Sneekypete's Graphite setup inspired me to work harder on mine

I also copied Sneeky's idea of putting the 2TB HDD in one of the 5.25 bays and it turned out awesome, thank you for that idea! I used some blu-tak (playdough like adhesive) to stick my ssd's together and onto the case and removed the HDD cages completely to provide the front fan with 100% clearance.

Corsair gave me the green light on my windowed side panel, they will be shipping on 25th of May via UPS from US to Aus another fortnight to go I guess

I should put a pic of my lappy here cause that's the one I use the most these days but these riggs are all running 24/7 here now.

My "old" gamer just upgraded the mobo from an R2E to R3E and it got a 980X one 5970 and two 5870's in quadfire. And yes it's another 800D


This is my server with a P6T7 Supercomputer mobo an i7 970 and about 10TB of storage in different raids. Chassie is a Thermaltake Xaser IV LCS


My getto SB rig with an UD4, 2600K and a 560TI DCUII
Have no idea what kind of chassie it is, bought it for $10 and ripped it apart to get the 360 rad in.


And finally my project still in progress my first SR-2 with dual X5690's and two 6970's.
Getting some parts tomorrow som I might get it finished this weekend.


Nice thread, cheers guys.

What can I say, I started to build these rigs as a hobby together with my youngest son and got a good deal with a local webshop on the liquid cooling stuff. Now I actually get a lot of the LC stuff for free just to test and of course wright about it.

I have a very suporting wife and of course I do have the money for this hobby AND for her hobbys to.

Guess I'll have to charge up the batteries for my killer 2mb camera... I'll take pics of my 2 ghetto folding boxes. And clean up my main box and take some pics of that. The Polaris looks pretty kewl, especially with the Panaflo strapped to it... I actually broke one of the straps installing it, but managed to get it on anyways....

[QUOTE=ChaoticAtmosphere;2290149]Yes, another bad habit I have which I should be ashamed of next to procrastination.

I also have the bad habit for about 35 years now, I have to strip my rig and put it under soap and water about 3-4 times a year on sunny days only and air to dry it all out. It work very well only down for 5-6 hours.
