Get an IDE to SATA converter for your cd drive.

Hi Poge, whats up? I am using all the Satas up. (4 Hitachi Satas in Raid0)

 

[POGE]

Plug this into your motherboard IDE to convert it to Sata:

Plug this into your disk drive to convert it to Sata:

It makes me sad that you still need to hook the sata connections up to the motherboard and power connection to the disc drive. Oh if only they made wireless PSUs. You're gonna need a hell of a radiator for an overclocked CPU, NB, and GPU all on the same circuit. I mean I don't know much about water cooling for me, but for wanting to do extreme overclocking for all three of those seems hard to do all on the same circuit. You should get some of these in-line radiators seen at the bottom of the page.

Well wtf8269 check this out....
(hidden CDRW power wires) I will cover the ends with silicone (non Acid) in case 1 breaks off.

 

[markkleb]

Thanks Poge but it adds too much mess. I have a Plexor DVD thats sata but the dumb DVD's take too long to load (I hate waiting)

Have u had any luck selling stuff?

Shit that's crazy. I don't have the balls to go in and solder on my hardware. Even if it is only a $20 or $30 disk drive.

 

[markkleb]

Actually it was easy, just got to be careful and go slow. Thats the secret to most good work, take ur time and go slow.

And dont be afraid to listen to other peoples opinions, cause of your idea I did this...

 

[drade]

Man thats some nice work!

Yeah, I'm half thinking about doing it now. The hard part would be finding a place to run the power cable out of the drive. I'm thinking I could take my face plates off and run them out the front since my drives are ghosted anyway. I'm going to reverse my hard drives here in an hour or two so I'll take a look then if I can do this with my disk drives. (Would have reversed them to begin with but the wires would have hit the front fans, but I found a way to do it by mounting them different.)

 

[KennyT772]

DAMN is all i can say..

 

[Azn Tr14dZ]

WOW! I wish my case was that neat. Whenever I get a new PSU, I'll try to get 4 SATA's too and sleeved cables.

 

[markkleb]

here I have covered the solder with silicone (make sure to use non acidic silicone)

And the new color to match the case. I filled in the Power plug with silicone too. (should have left it alone cause I could have used the socket to test stuff once the comp was done.

 

[POGE]

Dude.. you should make custom cases and sell them.

 

[Azn Tr14dZ]

Yeah...but wouldn't that be a lot of work? How long did it take you to do all of this mark?

 

[markkleb]

45 years....
Honestly I get better as I go along so the next one will be better and so on.

I could probably build the same thing (a little cleaner) in a 4 or 5 days..

As long as I had the stuff.

wait till you see the front, it is so damn cool!!!!!!

 

[POGE]

If I pay you will you mod me a case? Your design is so clean and simple.

 

[Azn Tr14dZ]

^I know. can you hide the wires like that with all cases or does it have to be certain cases?

 

[markkleb]

Of course, let me know what ur interested in and how you would like your comp and exactly what you want to do with it.

Example: if ur going SLI now or in the future cooling and PS matters.(some mobos have the chipset cooler in the way)

Or if you want to take it to lans.

If noise is a prob.

Is ur room hot or is the comp in a cabinet?

How important is music to you?

do you like clean and simple or lots of color..

Do you have a theme?

Want a small one (like my Lego) or a midsize like My Qpack or full size or HUGE like a Thermaltake Armour?

 

[markkleb]

^I know. can you hide the wires like that with all cases or does it have to be certain cases?

It depends, some cases are more easy than others. This case (pure luck) was just so easy..

if you pick the case I can tell if its easy or not.

 

[POGE]

Its kindof a waste of neatness if you dont put a window in your case. Do you plan on doing so?

 

[markkleb]

No window, I just leave the side off. Windows scratch and get dirty, and to be honest in a month or 2 I will probably rebuild it again...

 

[Azn Tr14dZ]

What about this case:

For my friend here.

Where do you live BTW?

 

[markkleb]

LOL, thats the one I just built for 2 kids that live next door.

http://www.techpowerup.com/gallery/263

for the money its a good case. And has room for 2 80mm fans in front and a 120 in the back. plus you can fit 4 HDDs

i live In Sun Valley Nevada (about 2 min. north of Reno) but all my family is in Cali.

 

[Azn Tr14dZ]

Wait... I just figured out something. my case is the exact same thing, but it doesn't have a blowhole on top, and it has a different rear and front panel, besides that, no difference at all.

 

[Azn Tr14dZ]

I live in Chandler, Arizona, right next to Phoenix. I'm going to Vegas in a month.
