Thanks Pyrox1040

Thanks jurrasstoil, It is packed, only because I dont like simple.

i think it's looking good, but the 5.25" devices don't really seem to match... have you thought about painting them?

yes I have, that did bother me, so I'm going to paint the DVD burner first, the same color as the case,, then see how it's going to look. Also I might replace the Aerocool power watch for a Moneual Lab iMON Ultra Bay
Only because I've had trouble with the power watch before & I should have enough fan channels with the two Zalmans. Thanks again for viewing.

Hello, I'm going to start this mod back up, I had allot of trouble with some of the hardware, the foxconn 680i motherboard went bad & never ran well with a e6850 because it didn't support it, The only 680i motherboard that has no support for a e6850, so now I will change to a striker extreme & better video cards, also change the heat sinks, & the front bay devices. I will have new photo's soon & finish this project up soon,

steelkane · Apr 19, 2008

Here's the new board with some new heat sinks, the heat sink that runs the coolest will be used for the final build.

Also for a new front bay device I will use a alpha cool panel that will be painted to match the case

steelkane · Apr 19, 2008

Here's a photo of it running with the old hardware.

But now it's back apart & I'm working on putting it back together with new hardware.

steelkane · Apr 22, 2008

New pictures are ready, The final order of bay devices used, from the top,, down,, alphacool panel, Vortex 2 HDCS to cool off the hard drives from the front, 20x lite-on burner, 2 Zalman fan controllers, KAZE MASTER 2 Fans Controller, 2 Temperature Display. USB headphone-mic firewire panel.

Next is the motherboard installed with a thermalright Ultima-90 using 2 92mm white led aerocool fans, with most of the wire management done.

steelkane · Apr 27, 2008

I did a little work on the south bridge heat sink to make it run cooler, there was a thin aluminum plate that had the name Republic of games on it, So I carefully took it off & attached a thermalright HR-05 IFX heat sink to it with Akasa thermal Tape, The bond is really strong & the temp went from over 100F, down to low 80F temp.

Next is a few shots of the Almost finished work, with the pc up & running,I still need to tie-up a few loose ends, but this is really close to being DONE.

Gam'ster · Apr 27, 2008

Thats positively amazing, looks like something that belongs in empire strikes back.
Paint work is excellent.
Job well done. :toast:

Cheers

That thing is so huge, it makes me laugh. (In a good way). I think your next mod should be to put 2 full systems in the case.

steelkane · Apr 28, 2008

From start to almost finished, This PC was by far the biggest challenge for me to build, & I'M glad to see others like it, empire strikes back, I can see that now that you said it, KOOL, as far as it being packed with hardware and having every part being used & not just there for looks was part of the challenge. Next thing to do is work on wire management behind the motherboard tray, so my side panel will fit. That should finish this mod.

tzitzibp · Apr 28, 2008

looks like everything is going on in there!.....
is has been a while since I looked at a case mod this good! :respect:

how long did it take you to complete this?

FANTASTIC!!!!

cdawall · Apr 28, 2008

i love this thing

steelkane · Apr 28, 2008

About 7 months, 1 month of that waiting for a motherboard, but now it was all worth it. thanks for the feedback

tzitzibp · Apr 28, 2008

great work.... :toast:

steelkane · Apr 28, 2008

Thanks again tzitzibp,, Getting close to finish, the side panel is on and working great with the side fan blowing air on the cpu area, the only thing that kinda pissed me off was the hole I cut into the motherboard tray for heatsink access was in a different spot from the foxxconn board to the striker, My cpu temps were 61F at idle & with the side fan 55F idle.

blkhogan · Apr 29, 2008

That is Freakin amazing steel. The time, money and labor must have set you back a few of them "pretty penny's" everyone is always talking about. Well I should have not said "labor" because if you really enjoy doing it, its not "labor".
I envy you guys that do these mod's. If that were me I would have thrown it into the front yard cussing it all the way there. Then probably would have taken up a large hammer or pipe and beat it till it was little tiny peices of plastic and metal. I would have ended up spending atleast 24hrs in the county jail for frightning the neighbor kids who at the time were sleeping. :laugh:

steelkane · Apr 29, 2008

Thanks blkhogan, I have yet to add-up the cost of the pc, as for the time & labor, I had my times of frustrations but just tried to picture the finished image in my head, and now I have a pc thats one of a kind. and more knowledge for my next build.

steelkane · Apr 29, 2008

Here's a video of it running

farlex85 · Apr 29, 2008

Thats an awesome beast! Well done!

tzitzibp · Apr 29, 2008

may I suggest you take a picture from the side, and with the help of paint or something like that, add the temps of the components.....

This way we can all see the actual airflow effect and you can use it as a temperature map!
Just an idea, since this is a big case and it would be interesting to see potential temp rises due to blocked air flow or hot air loops.... Although I doult there will be any, it will sure make you knowledge of this system complete!

steelkane · Apr 30, 2008

tzitzibp are you looking for arrows to show intake & exhaust, then the temps to each chip. Today I finished the work on the other side panel, I used 80x15mm Hyper white led fans because of clearance then wired them to a fan box I made to help with the wire management. I was also thinking about painting the fans black, but it don't look to bad with them white.

Guru Janitor · May 1, 2008

Wow, that is simply amazing!!! Great work comes from those who take a while to work on the project. How long did you say it took? 7 months?

steelkane · May 1, 2008
