Thanks for the warm fuzzies! Grin

Hay just realized I hadn’t bores y’all with any pictures of the unit assembled in “the daylight”. A couple of things stand out to me 1.) that FDD EL cable still looks good and 2.) the unpainted DVD-RW drive showing in the top window looks like ____ (you fill in the blank!). May have to do something about the drive later down the pike.

.

BTW have declared the cpu oc’ing finished now & that leave me to do something with the HD3870.

Congratulations once more jedihobbit! Case looks AMAZING! Wink

The more i look at your nice pics...the more i want to build something similar myself... Smile

Maybe when I'll have more time...who knows... Grin

I just wonder whether the front 80mm led fan has enough access to fresh air? Because i believe the front bezel doesnt provide enough fresh air to reach that fan!? (I could be wrong on this one too). I noticed you also made those extra holes below...which look very cool...even more when the fans led is on. And i saw that there is some space between the handle and those holes, but i still think that fan has to struggle more than it would otherwise to get air in (first air has to make a corner around the handle...then go through holes...then turn right to reach the fan....and finally into the case....so many turns,hahaha) Or maybe not. Confused

Btw...does that handle stay up when you lift it? Because if nothing else...you could have "Turbo Cooling mode" when it's up....and "Normal Cooling mode" when it's down. You could put a sticker on one side to show this....up arrow...turbo....down arrow...normal.... Grin

And if it doesnt stay up...you could fabricate some stick (or 2 for each side), and support it similar to some cars hood when opened. Not to mention further that you could have them motorized to lift handle up or down with a press of a button Grin

Or just leave everything as it is....it's GREAT already! Wink

What I also wonder...is how well you made it with OCing cpu? Have you remembered the settings, because you mentioned you forgot to write the old ones down? Confused

Finally....how about 3870? Have you tried getting max temps by method i described HERE ?

Best luck and keep us up to date with the project also in the future. King

Yes SpeedZone I do use "turbo mode" by leaving the handle in the up mode! Laughing

Currently using it as my primary until DreamCatcher v2.0 gets it water cooling stuff installed!

WOW...looks awesome! King

I read that you're gonna drown DreamCatcher V2.0. So good luck and dont let any air bubles inside.... Grin

Just wonder...what size is that monitor in the pic? 19"-wide or 22"-wide? Probably 22", right? Confused

It's hard to determine its size...because although it looks big...on the other side....that can also be an optical illusion, caused by small (but very nice! Wink

) case beside it. Grin

Great job! Wink
