Case Mod - In Progress AMD Bulldozer 8-Core Tribute - FINISHED!

Yeah I thought so.. why do you have both 32 and 64 bit copies?? just wondering

 

That's what you get when you normally buy retail

 

diamond plate steel backplates ?!?!? wowzers...
should look awesome
cant wait to see some benches + more updates

 

really nice build mate love the way its all coming togever

 

Corsair sent me a gift that I couldn't resist







I run all the cable through the backplate and connect them to the green extensions



Corsair also wanted me to have their new Vengeance Keyboard and mouse. They won't be available in the states till December







I was even able to get the hard drive cage back in place. Funny thing is, I won't be using any standard hard drives



The main power, CPU 12V and the PCIe lines are already attached, so I only have to add one SATA and one Molex line



The lone molex line is only for the fanbus, which is where my lights and a single intake fan will be controlled



I'll be using this low tac film to protect the backs of the video card and PCIe solid state drive. They'll act as a substrate.





Then I glue construction paper to the film

 

Not sure if I like this or the PET more now lol That case from the FX-8150 is a great keepsake though, I highly doubt many people will have one.

 

I cut and glued down the Steel Diamond plate to the cards



And added cold cathodes. More of them coming too



Once again, I always sign my work



I'm hoping that once I get the OCZ software downloaded and installed the drive will perform better. Right now it just blows and so does the AMD chip

 

How do you like the new keyboard and mouse. I was thinking of getting the keyboard


BTW excellent work thus far, keep it up

 

I hate the keyboard. It's supposedly mechanical, but doesn't feel like it at all

PROJECT COMPLETE!
