    Those are AquaStream pumps. They run off internal power form a molex (I think). The 3/12 plate is where it is plugged in and also houses two LED's to show the pumps status, if it fails an LED will light up.

    Ooh, even I can feel the drool building and I packed the stuff. :brrr:

    Damn me if this project doesn't do it all fine amounts of justice though. :thumb:

    heh, you don't carry that kind of cash around in your pocket... more like a briefcase chained to your wrist! :baby: ;)

    [Edit] Cheers for the props btw Ed, glad to get you sorted

    Sorry for the post and run, just wanted to let everyone know that i'm still hard at work :) Since some of the critical parts finally came in I've been busy cutting, drilling, tapping, etc..

    As everyone has noticed, Pug has sent me a full AC kit (sorry but I gotta plug www.wizarddesigns.co.uk...one hell of a place to shop), pretty much with all the bells and whistles. I'll get better shots of the aquadrives and lcd for my next post. I won't be using some of the watercooling gear i've posted before simply cause AC stuff fits the whole "truck" theme. I looked at so many pictures of 18 wheelers so i'm trying to capture that look...sorta :)

    I've also switched to dual opteron, since I wanted to try something new. Going with an MSI board too...gotta keep the red theme going. Hardware should be coming in late next week.

    I should have a small update tonight. Some sharp eyed viewers noticed that prime now has feet, and the power supplies are held up now :) Also rail for the motherboard tray and other goodies. I'm making pretty good progress.. stay tuned!

    Here we go...

    So I had to come up with a way to mount the mobo tray. So I went to Lian Li and "borrowed" the sliding rack part of the case. Did my own little modifications and used round alu stock to come up with a neat way to hold up the motherboard tray:

    [​IMG]

    Here is my drillpress in action, I've used it extensively for the last few months. I would drill out the middle of that round alu stock you see there and then tap each hole..

    [​IMG]

    Cut the sliding rack with my dremel and made everything nice and smooth. Replaced the rivets with machine screws, and added the "posts"...ready for mounting:

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    And I mounted it to the bottom panel of PRIME:

    [​IMG]

    This was along with the posts that hold up the power supplies:

    [​IMG]

    This is what the bottom panel looked like before it went in:

    And now for the random image of the day:

    :D ;)

    Getting there....I'm still chargin' forward :thumb:
