    Me and a mate of mine decided to have a go at sleeving with paracord. It's actually quite nice to work with and I've found some other decent uses for it as well around the home.

    I took the computer apart again for a final polish down, you'll notice some goodies that ASUS ROG sent through as well :)

    I've always wanted two copies of BF3 :p

    That is one sexy motherboard :) I will be doing a full review of it once I get it up and running. Anyone know a RAM block for the dominators that will work either side of the dimms?

    Bitspower makes two-dimm blocks, as does MIPS and Aqua-Computer, though I'm not sure if all of those will work with Dominators.

    I had today off. Significant things happen when I have days off.

    It's the base of the case and yes that's an EKWB radiator with S frame Noiseblockers. Besides costing a small fortune, S-frames are all nice and rubbery, the actual fan doesn't touch the frame and whilst on, you can't actually hear them.

    Time to reassemble!

    Ikea would be proud. Now I just need to name it something inspiring like "Lack". I have two of the "lack" tables from Ikea, great value because they inflate every year with moisture and it's almost like I'm getting a free size upgrade.

    Horrible photo although at the time I had some unique space constraints.

    360mm at the bottom, 360mm at the top and 6 Fans. Airflow is most certainly no issue here!

    Fraglabs will be selling our cases fully installed, anywhere in Australia :)

    The screws on the right look awesome, where do you get them? And the same goes for the ones on the fans.

    Shipping to Europe can be expensive, but they really look nice.

    Asus just ordered a Thermal Tower and I have just on 3 weeks to have it built, installed and ready to go. I will most likely spend two weeks redesigning the case from what I learnt on the original. Here we go!

    Madly cutting the rest of the panels!!!!

    [​IMG]
    One sheet down, 5 to go!


    Check out the gear going into it :)


    Oh man....what a marathon.

    No sleep last night, worked all day and then finally at 1am, tis ready.

    Two weeks of redesigning and 4 almost solid days of cutting and building. CMONNNNNNN! *hewitt hand...thingy*
