Looks sick Travis. I love how small that case is and how "tight" everything fits.

Just as I feared. I put the side panel w/ window and the top 120mm fan is useless as the CPU cooler takes up that space. No need to fret. Ordered a new window and I will cut it to fit. Prolly better this way as side windows always look better without fans. Also can't see the Cooler Master logo on cooler with side panel on but that is no biggie in the grand scheme of things I guess. Also ordered my 24 pin and 12 volt 8 pin cables. Was going to just single braid the PSU but that takes up too much money and time. I should be able to pull it off to where it looks nice with the extensions. I wasn't able to on my last build as the longest extensions they made at the time were 12" so you didn't have much to work with. Now they sell 24" extensions so I should have plenty to work with. Hopefully stuff will be here by this weekend so I can get this little o project wrapped up.

Nice pictures Nip. That CPU cooler looks like an engine. I think this thing will fly.

I hope it does fly foamer.

Well I'm at a spot that sux. Got everything ready to go but can't power it on because I have to wait for the stupid 8 pin 12v and 24 pin extension to get in. Looks to be Saturday (I pray) or Monday. Here is what I have now. Doesn't look like I did much but I got the DVD Burner, GPU in and redid the wiring in the back from the floor up. Also ran all my Sata and Molex power cables.

The GPU is so small you almost miss it in the next pic. Hell you still miss it when you look at it good! ROFL

As I mentioned in the thread earlier that the fans in the window won't work as the cooler takes up the top fan spot. Wish I would have known that so I could have saved $20 on fans.

Sweetness. Came home today, looked in the mail and what would ya know. My two power cables were in the mail. Got em hooked up and as soon as the wifey gets home I'm going to fire this baby up. Here is the completed wiring job. Window should be in Monday and I will be able to put the side panel on.

I went ahead and stuck the two 120mm fans I purchased in the case since I won't be able to use them on the side window. One went behind the HDD cage and the other above the HDD cage. So that is a total of 5-120mm fans and 2-140mm fans in the case.

Oh my GOD!!! Sata 6Gp/s actually works on this mobo without having to jump through hoops. Just plugged in, turned on and worked!!! WOW. Speeds are better than ever. I am actually using the same OS that was on my Intel. Just uninstalled the unnecessary crap and install the necessary.

I can't count how many useless hours, days, weeks I tried to get it to work on my Asus Premium mobo. Piece of shat.

These chips or AMD run at high volts on auto! Need to get in the BIOS and get to know her. Be back later.

Is there any accurate temp utility for this CPU? Realtemp doesn't work and Coretemp is showing 16 degrees?!


Here is a shot powered on. Will get better shots when window is installed and on. So far pretty damn sexy all black on red.
