yeah a decent 500w should me more than enough imo.

so go for the modular one

I have powered my rig before with it as a temp for testing but thats it. And a 500w is overkill for a Pentium D and onboard video but a 700w is going to be even more overkill :laugh:

subbed!

Tim you'll have to go modular here dude. You can try to cover the PSU area with a alum. Plate or something. But modular for sure.

Glad the screws are in, get some rest, you got more updates to post

I haven't had anytime whatsoever to work on my case. Need to remove some rivets. Is there any tool designed to make your job easier, or just drilling them out will do?

i just dilled mine out. Just remember go slow and keep good pressure on the drill and you shouldn't have any problems and it WILL scratch the case alittle around them so be read to paint it when your done :toast:

I won't have any updates tomorrow because i won't have any time to work on it i am going to have another long day.

Thanks bro, I was looking at some rivet removal tools, but they look like it's to drill them out???

Rivet removal tool? 1/4" drill bit.

I should have everything done by Thursday. I don't have time to run to home depot to pickup some tube or it would be done today. I have the rad mounted the res and working on getting the pump mounted(pump came today when i was at school) I even have my coolant mixed and dyed

its kind of a lime green should make a nice contrast with everything being black.

PS the rad lines up perfect with the front fans

so no extra mods to do there

(FIH) The Don · Mar 9, 2010

sounds good man, but we WANT SOME PICTURES :eek:

as you wish... don't mind the ghetto way to hold the rad in that is just for testing placement out will use screws when everything is in place.

hanging? Hmm, thing is it'll put the wires right in the middle where you can't hid it period!

What if you put it flush to the top of the case in the front horizontally. Then try to grab it with a screw or something. You'll have to keep in mind you cannot interfere with the tracks for the side panel to close properly. Challenging but would be nice if you can do it

I'm not sure where to put it unless i put at the very top of the case where the ODD bays used to be then i may have some luck hiding wires.. I am not going to have much if any luck hiding anything in this case now..That is why i am going to be using the OCZ modX when i get it all together.

I MAY have alittle room to get it between my rad and the back side. I could try that or like i said the top of the case.

Would the HD fit between the bottom of the motherboard and bottom case panel? I swear I've seen that Micro Res before :laugh:

I'm not sure. I will work on finding a good place for it one i get everything in and the tube ran.l there seems to be 3 possible places for it.
