Modular PSU are the best, wish I had done more research when shopping for a psu. So just like you I have mass cables behind the mobo tray I still managed to make it look clean.

Where did you order your case from?

yeah I did a heck of a job IMO with mine, but that clutter is still there, although thank god not visible.

Heres my rig just for your reference. :toast:

my PSU 24 pin is now behind the res and hardly visible. So thats fixed

hope you dont mind MRCL

Nice job patty, nice job. Really doesn't look messy.

No I don't mind, its nice that my thread even gets noticed lol. I learn from every setup I see.

thank you man, my rig has changed slightly lately, looks better but I havent gotten any new pictures. my PSU cable is much better routed now, my video card was in slots 1 and 2, looked much neater. However one died, so only one is in the rig now

and yes, I try to learn a bit from everything I see. If you do that and put everything you learned into perspective, you can buid a bad ass rig :rockout:

Chieftec cases are great and popular amongst modders they are very classic, spacious and fairly priced. Bill modded the Dragon model for his Harley Davidson project. look forward to the end result MRCL.

got the mobo in will take pics tonight

MRCL · Jun 12, 2009

Ordered some water gear. 19/13mm fittings and tubing, the GPU block will follow later as I will not buy the 295 before next month. I'll be reusing the triple rad and pump of the pc in my sig.

Quadfather comes together piece by piece.

Edit: Whoops, just noticed the Laing tops are missing here!

InnocentCriminal · Jun 12, 2009

Hmmmm.... worklog goodness!

Looking forward to the updates...

tzitzibp · Jun 12, 2009

quality parts... hope you get them soon! :toast:

Bah, talk about not able to plan properly. Disregard that list, I changed it all over :roll:

Didn't think about that I will be using my main rig till this one is finished. So I ordered a stealth rad, and a second pump, so I can have the rig in my sig running under water while working at the quad father. Eeeh...

Chicken Patty · Jun 12, 2009

good choice on components dude :rockout:

I like your setup Patty and good cable management

I would post a pic of my non-modular cable management, but I don't want to start a trend of derailing MRCL's thread. Stick to the subject of this awesome future built which is going to rock the socks off of many :respect:

MRCL you lucky bastid! where did you find that beauty case? :pimp:

it's the bigger version of mine

those old school antec/chenming case's are DA BOMB! :respect:

you could mod them to piece's and they will still be stronger than a LOT of case's :rockout:

make shure you stock up on cutting disc's cuz these babies are made of real steel :cool:

you are gonna have lotsa fun with this one i can promise you that! :rockout:

have you had a look at swiftech MCR rad's? might be able to save yourself a few buck's?

Those Chieftec thingies are in stock at almost every store here. Taller than my friggin Cosmos!

I have like ten of those discs and some variants of em, was a Dremel spring combo package or something. For the price of a Dremel, you get one with tons of accessoirs.

Hm no I went with BlackIce thru and thru, already have a triple and single of em, do a fantastic job! Could've saved 30 bucks on the dual rad, but eh... BlackIce is thicker tho.

Obstacle #2 knocking at the door.

Mobo and CPUs arrived (thats good!)
But as I wanted to test if it survived the shipping, it refused to boot. Even with the 750W Corsair PSU. No POST beeps so far, so I'm trying to narrow down the problem... the best way to spend a day off.

cdawall · Jun 15, 2009

try only 1 stick of DDR2 on each cpu

Yes it did. The biggest mindfucking problems can really be solved by the most simple solution :slap:

Pete1burn · Jun 15, 2009

Phew. I broke out in a sweat there for a few minutes.

man wish shipping was cheaper i'd order a skid full! :rockout:

nice deal on the dremmel, i use a knockoff version and it has served me well for the last 6 year's

BI is thicker and has a denser FPI so they require higher static pressure fan's which are generally louder plus IIRC they are more restrictive to flow? anyhow it's your build :respect:

and i can't wait for some more update's :rockout:
