Well I ordered the rest of my parts.

E8500, DFI LP DK X38 T2R, Scythe SCORC-1000, Vista Ultimate x64, and some Samsung DVD-RW. Should be here Tuesday or Wednesday next week.

I'm going to be using the same CPU/Mobo combo! Sweet! I'll be on water, though :cool:

And I'm with him! We want more pics!

thats pretty damn good for a front drive v6!

if they only had shift kits/torque converters and chipped ECU's for your car

my best time last year was 13.69 @ 99.44mph damn slipping clutch and bald ass street tires

the insurance and gas is a killer in a v8 but hey you only live once right?

They do, and a whole lot more than that. Right now the record for a FWD L67 powered car is 8.94 @ 157mph.

I'll probably have a lot more pics toward the end of the week, guys. I have a few projects going on at school right now. Once they're finished up (they're all due by the end of the week) I can get working on my PC again.

I'm gonna start building tonight guys. Just need to run a few errands tonight after I get off work, then I'm gonna start putting the system together. Not sure if I'm going to paint the motherboard tray, since I plan to cover it in sound deadening material anyway. I did get the knobs off the fan controller, by the way. So I'll be shopping around to see if I can find any aluminum knobs around at local hardware shops.

wtf8269 · May 17, 2008

Well, today I'm going to start putting everything together. Here's some pics from a few nights ago.

intel igent · May 17, 2008

DAMN! that orochi is freakin HUGE :eek:

how did you manage to get the knobs off of the controller?

guess today is paint day?

O/T : 8.94 in a FWD chebby!?!?!?!? pickies?

:toast:

wtf8269 · May 17, 2008

Actually I got impatient with the weather and just covered the mobo tray in the sound dampening material (which I planned to do anyway), and then just used some black touch up paint on the exposed silver parts. :laugh:

I just flat out broke the knobs off lol.

Here is a video of the run. It's a Grand Prix, not a Regal. Same car, different body and interior panels--although I doubt this one has many interior panels lol.

intel igent · May 17, 2008

dont loose your patience for the rest of the build, slow and steady slow and steady

thnx for the vid do you know of any specs for that car?

:toast:

DrPepper · May 17, 2008

Wow that heatsink is huge :eek:

looks about the same size as my silent square pro.

wtf8269 · May 17, 2008

Yeah I just installed it on the motherboard and put the motherboard tray in. There's like a 1/8" clearance between it and the side panel lol.

This is the most I can find on the car.

wtf8269 · May 17, 2008

Well good news and bad news.

Good news:

I have six hard drives.

Bad news:

I didn't cut the hole far enough over for the wiring, but I think this will look fine, as long as I can keep the wires going straight out in an orderly manner like that.

intel igent · May 17, 2008

they dont look bad the way they are, as long as they stay neat and tidy they're good to go IMO

guess it would be too much work to enlarge the hole now eh?

:toast:

wtf8269 · May 17, 2008

Yeah. You won't even notice them anyway. The wires are black, the case is black, they're hidden behind my GPUs, and you'll be looking through black mesh. Everything is together now. Wiring is 100% half-assed, because I want to get everything up and running before I bother doing neat wiring. I'm heading over to my buddy's to pick up my bag-o-screws that he borrowed awhile back. I'll post some pics while I'm back, then it's time to boot her up.

I have about 1cm clearance but I can only have 2 sticks of RAM since the mobo is badly laid out for me.

wtf8269 · May 18, 2008

Well looks like I wound up with a DOA mobo. Time for an RMA. :ohwell:

DrPepper · May 18, 2008

aww that sucks :eek:

wtf8269 · May 18, 2008

Yeah, but at least I'll have some time to mod my fan controller now. I'm also debating on just buying the PSU that I want to get to replace my PCP&C.

DrPepper · May 18, 2008

My fan controller I got with the silent square isn't big enough to stick out the front so I turned it backwards: facing into the case so it can be accesed without having to take the front cover off. :laugh:

wtf8269 · May 19, 2008

What do you guys think about these knobs for my fan controller?

DanishDevil · May 19, 2008

$10...shit. They do look pretty nice, though.

wtf8269 · May 19, 2008

Well ghosted my CD drive and modded the fan controller housing. Just need me some knobs now, and somebody to buy my PSU so I can buy a quieter one.

And yes, there's one little slip-up on the fan controller cover, but oh well. I don't think it'll be visible in everyday lighting. (Usually lights off for me)

Silverel · May 19, 2008

Wouldn't be too hard to fix. Buff the entire front of that controller cover, and throw a coat of lacquer on there. You've got time for it.

wtf8269 · May 19, 2008

Would that work even though it's anodized aluminum and not painted?

intel igent · May 21, 2008

the knobs + stealth/modded drive/controller look mint :rockout:
