Taking a reg case and making it ROCK!

Yep, I have had like 10 of them. I was gonna use one of the new N750 boards but it just was not worth $159 when the good ole 570 SLI is so easy to use.

One other good thing about the Enzo stuff is its forged, forging the metal makes it denser and it also dissipates heat better (oh yea the base is mirror polished too, saves time with lapping)

wanna give me a 570 for free?

anyway, that enxo cooler is kick ass, though i've never had a problem with the stock biostar, its out of the way, small, and silent.

the key word was "Had". I had 2 of the N750s too and they are even better.

i see lol, so what are the main highlights of the N750?

PCI X 2.0 (instead of 1.0, double the bandwidth)

Easier to OC (the 570 is insanely easy so thats saying a lot)

Chipset runs cooler and dosent need any modding (on board cooling works nice)

Hdds seemed to be a bit faster on the N750

I like the position of the memory , better for front to back cooling. (but you need to be careful with big CPU coolers)

AM2+ so works well with Quads

24 pin power is in better posistion

Also 1 good point of both mobos is 3 pci slots below the lower GPU, more room for stuff.

Thanks a lot, and welcome to the thread.

no problem buddy. I'll be here for good hehe

MKmods · Oct 12, 2008

I have been working on the mobo tray and thought I would take a break. While looking at the pieces I noticed the rear panel was a bit beat up from all the cutting..

I had a scrap of alum that was too small for another case I am doing but it fit this perfect, so I broke out the hole saws...

Looks like Im gonna be using a Corsair 620 I got from a trade with freaksavior so I cut the PS hole to fit the Corsair vents much nicer than just a universal hole like they punch in the panels.

Chicken Patty · Oct 13, 2008

^^^may I ask what those three holes on the lower right are? Great job so far :toast:

torpedo tubes..

for allowing heat to escape because I am using the really big Accelero coolers.

oh so its like an exhaust for your GPU cooler?

MKmods · Oct 13, 2008

yep, I use a high speed fan in the front blowing back and the case is usually solid there. (Lian Li usually has slots, Rosewill no) So in the origional panel I cut it out and placed a piece of modders mesh over the opening. But the circular holes match up with the fan holes and look more even.

Origional

First Modded version

Second Modded version

Remember I will be using 2 of the 9600GTs with Acceleros

First time I took a peak at this... Man if only I had the time, sad part is I have the knowledge and experience to do it... Just too lazy with all the work I have to do

MKmods · Oct 18, 2008

welcome to the thread niko..I am in the middle of a complete redesign, lol..

I am fiddeling with your 9950 OC thread and figured I would throw a bit of H20 on the CPU. I am not so happy with the Asus Crosshair II Formula board (especially because it was triple the cost of the Biostar)

So basically I will be making an alum panel for the front , kind of like the rear one. Still air cooling the GPUs (the acceleros cant be beat for their cost)

nice, you're going to see a nice decrease in temps bro, allowing you to give more voltage as temps will be lower. Keep us posted on your progress.

BTW, I just bombarded the 9950o/c'ing thread hehe, a bit of comparisons between our runs, and my 9850 compared to my 9950.

MKmods · Oct 22, 2008

I just got my Biostar N750 board today SCORE! (was $100 OpenBox but came with more than everything (2 Driver CDs, lol)) After I finish up Steevos case I am gonna finish up this so I can resume OC the 9950.

I need to find a single rad, anyone got any extras?

Congrats dude, I actually had an extra single fan rad bro, but I am going to be using it this week temporarily

.

Cant wait to see Steevos case, and some more results with the 9950

MKmods · Oct 27, 2008

Thanks CP. I changed my mind again...I picked up a single 140mm rad
http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/hwlablicegtx2.html

and a new Swiftech GTZ block. Had this block not been so good I would have freaked out about having to buy an AM2 bracket extra.

I like how the rear panel looks so much I am going to make a front one too.
Mt 9600GTs run so cool with the Acceleros (upper 20s to lower 30s) that I figured I would just cool the 9950 with H20.

Now Steevos is done I will spend this week finishing this up. By the way thanks Steevo for being so cool to work for and the parts.

That rad looks nice man. Can't wait to see the rig once its done. Good to see you going water

I can only imagine what crazy modding you're going to do this time

theJesus · Oct 27, 2008

Yet another mod to look forward to from you. Can't wait! :rockout:

95Viper · Oct 27, 2008

That is nice, you got to get a show on that designer channel.

MKmods · Oct 30, 2008

Ok got some stuff today for this

The rad is a new 140mm one. Its going sideways where the DVD normally goes. I cant wait to show you my idea for the 2 fans (yep only 2 fans in this mod)

Chicken Patty · Oct 30, 2008

^^^ hurryyyyyyyyyyyyyy up and do itttttttttt alreadyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :laugh:

can't wait to see how it'll look, and now that you mentioned only two fans, i'm definetely looking forward to this
