Just a thought.

I love Wilhelm's idea, but if you make the top part of the enclosure oval, you can still keep the TPU button up front but give yourself enough width for the MB to be mounted horizontally.

Just mesh the front bits next to the button for intake.
You could even angle the oval bits back to give it a swept look.

yeah i like whilhelm's idea too. would go with the white part of the front logo with some painted mesh, red body and white bottom (the part with the fans). any idea on how to place the components inside and about the dimensions?

Whilhelm, looks like you are on your way to a 1 of a kind comp there, Keep refining it and congrats.

This thread is full of win so far :toast:

I know you're going alum and cf, but I think you should go legos again :laugh: lol j/k :p

full vs mid tower: I vote no bigger than it needs to be for reasonable airflow, and you're the master at that :respect:

Thanks,
I just came up with a new Hdd Rail Idea this morning, Il get some picts up this afternoon.

One thing I could use you help on is GPUs..The mobo I will be using is a gigabyte ma790fx-DS5 so I am making the switch to ATI (after years of SLI builds). Money is really an issue, maybe I should say "Value" is the issue. I game at 1920 X 1200 and was thinking of a pair of 4830s.
I figure I can sell my modded 9600GTs to cover most of the cost.
Is it worth the extra $100 to go with 4850s?
Im using a Hyper 580 for the PS so sorry no 4870s...

Sorry, I've got no clue about performance/cost on ATI cards cuz I'm an nVidia fanboy :eek:

I would just hunt for as many reviews as possible to determine how the 4830s compare to the 9600s. If they're on par and the 9600s were good enough, then I say go for it. If they're not on par, or the 9600s weren't good enough, then go for the 4850s.

Being a crossfire mobo, that's the reason for the shift.

My theory is if you can afford it, go 4850, but if not, I don't believe you would be unhappy with the 4830.

Or simply go for a single 1G 4850 like Tatty's Palit, and add the 2nd in the future.
I am assuming you were looking at buying 2 cards.

I saw a 2 gig version too, amazing the cards now...

The 1 and 2 gig versions are WAY too $$ for me to consider. Value plays a big part in my decisions so if a card costs 2X as much it better have 2X the performance. Also I need to take into consideration my PS (580 watts).

Im gonna be water cooling them (making my own blocks) so temps should be nice with the PA 120.3.

Ok I am doing the mockup right now and I think I can keep the height to a bit over 17".(43cm)

I get my bonus on the 14th, so i'll have the money for sure then, hopefully I have enough for a new PSU and a 2nd 4870. That plus the new chip to feed the cards :) should equal some nice 3dmark scores :)
