looks good
are you installing ventilation holes on the top because i heard it reduces graphics card temperature by 20c +

 

Hey, as long as your in there, I'm sure you'll find a couple other things to tweak... wiring, paint, etc...

 

Thanks,

Lower radiator mounted.









Upper Panel Complete.

 

Very, very nice work!

Are you going to put on some chunky feet to give the radiator a bit more room to breath?

 

Subscribed, love this case

 

Thanks, and yes, MNPC Tech billet case feet.

Happy Fathers Day to all you dads out there

Still working on getting the back round whiter.

 

Really like what I'm seeing with the mod so far, looking forward to seeing how it progresses.

Excellent little mouse you've been given there.
Been using mine for about 2 years now and so far I haven't found a mouse that I like the feel of more, it just fits into the hand so perfectly... the only thing I would of liked more is for the macro recording button to be on the right hand side, as there is plenty of space for it there and my little finger is lonely being the only finger without a button.

 

Thanks!

GPU?

GTX 580 hot off the bench...

 

Very tidy! Modding an a05 myself, would be nice to see how this goes

 

sub´d!

I´m working on one too

 

looking good!

 

Wow, what are you doing to your Gpu?? Looks complex that's for sure.

 

Now this is my kind of modding right here.

That my friend is a voltmod on the GPU so that one can push more volts than are normally achieved via SW when benching under extreme conditions.

 

What kind of glue or epoxy is covering the wires and soldering? Even with water cooling, that could get hot enough to come loose, depending on what it is.

 

Thank you everyone for the kind comments. I'll have a few more pictures in a few days.

 

Here's a pre-ln2 rape shot of the GTX 580 on the bench

 

Are you going to do LN2 or something?

 

Nah, she is retired from ln2 duties and ready to go in my 24/7 machine.
