On the bottom there should be no washers used so the feet stick past a hair further

on the end up rights there should be nuts and washers locking it down.
I know they were not on in the pics but that was because I was just tryiong tio give you and idea

Every deck should be locked in place on both sides and the underneath tof the bottom does not get washers

the rods shopuld be flush with the nuts on the under carrage and the space for the first deck should be measured to fit a power supply upright and tighteened down til it is snug ....

I personally use the little 3/8" round clear rubber dots at Home Depot in the feet section on the PS so it does not scratch the paint

if the 1 1/4" screws did not get tight grad 6 1 5/8" screws to replace

then all you should need is the rad mounting screws & the top deck is on upside down ............. LOL

Looks great BTW.................

The top deck is where I messed up with the paint, so I had to put it upside down. The feet are just long enough that the washers fit on the bottom too, Ill just pick up another sometime for the top one that doesnt have it.

Thanks again

You should have nuts in washers on the top of the second deck bro .....

it is just laying there and those nuts will not tighten ....

It will give the entire rack more stability ..........

The second deck has them on the 4 rods, just not the two tall ones. I was looking at the pics you put up at EOCF when I put it together, and thats how it was.
Ill fix it though.

Dont have the loop yet, but added in some hardware that I had to test out.

The rad holes mostly match up, but I cant get it flush against the wood. Also, there isnt enough room for the tubing (the notch was about 1/4 short) so I had to mount it facing away from the board. Not a big deal though.

Holy crap stains that is a sweet looking setup

All it needs is a quick connect 3.5 and 5.25 blanks and your good to go

Personally on my setup I use the rad to cool the HDDs, fan controller and PSU. Using it to push air across the board is much better design...

I cant wait to get 360 rad instead of this 480.. it SOOO freaking big

granted it cools like a beast...

maybe I need a new WB, 360 rad and a 355 for my 24/7 setup


Just let witchy build me a solid light weight bench station...

I was thinking 3 rad on a design now its changing ... *sigh

Ill be in touch before you are back to benching WD

Im hoping the block I have doesnt hold back the loop. I got a AquaXtreme MP-05 for $20, that can go from AM2/3, 775, 478, 939, 754, A without taking apart the block to change the bracket. It just looks like a crappy block though.

The Socket A board I have (NF7-V2) has tall caps next to the CPU socket, so I had to put some spacers on the mount for the block to get it to fit. Just looks wierd now lol.
Ill probably have the loop going by this weeked. I got to finsh with the upgrades to my laptop, and go see Iron Man 2 first though
