    Thanks for the good word guys! :thumb: Getting closer to finishing it. Just waiting for the replacement GPU and lighting. The customized Zalman fan controller and installation. I typically set the fan speeds once, and leave it alone.

    No room to mount it forwards?

    Seems a shame all that effort to mount it backwards or is it to retain a look?

    Love i though!

    Glad you guys like it! and Thank you for the kind words :D


    No opening in the bezel.

    Focusing attention on the Interior is just as important as the Exterior. It's what will separate your work from the crowd :thumb:

    I've also mounted fan controllers in backwards on previous builds. You typically set it once, then leave it alone.

    @DeadP1xels, Thank you! :D I took a break from it today and cleaned up the workshop...lol

    @Razarach, I like the minimalistic look of it too.

    The Geek in me likes tinkering with manual fan controllers. Reminds me of playing with cannibalized Rheostats and electric motors from toys when i was a kid. I also love fiddling with the dashboard knobs on old cars.

    LOL @ cheaps!

    @LooseNeutral, best product R&D evar!

    @Lance, will PM you details

    @Dudey109, Thank you for checking out the project and commenting!

    Yesterday I created a "WTH?" while attaching another 120mm fan to the front of the H50 cooler. I'm sure you have had a similar experience.

    The case was lying on it's side. I was attaching another 120mm fan to the front of the H50 cooler and dropped the last 6/32 x 3/8" (tiny) screw into the void (tight space between Rad & MB). There is no way to reach it with your fingers, so I lifted the PC upside down hoping it would drop out. Unbeknowst to me, the screw went into the PSU while flipping the PC :grr: ...I was gently shaking the PC waiting for the screw to fall out. Nothing. ...So I ended up removing everything including the H50 waterblock and PSU cover to find the screw. Which meant re-doing all of the cable routing. I spent an hour and half over retrieving that one screw :wallbash:, but I would have never slept knowing I shipped it off with it lodged inside.

    I needed to conduct "further R&D research" on my Bottle Opener after that experience.
