i got my server up and running so i can start putting pics up.

I had to add some dramatic lighting so it would look cool

here is a profile view

another side view here you can see the fan that cools the video card

open the door

this is the heatpipe/heatsink of the xfx 7950gt

heres a farther view of the board

all the fans you see are 38cfm except for the processor and psu. Here are the exhaust ones

and this is a vies of the 92mm intake fan on the psu

last but not least my bare ass drive bays

Will be adding my cd burner and floppy drive as well as a possible dvd burner if they make them in sata yet. Hell for that matter i will use all sata cd/dvd devices

thanks for lookin whatcha think!!!???

ditch those upgrades and get a good cooler, it'll oc better. All mobo makers need to go to being able to Flash from a USB thumb drive or a normal hard drive, gotta love Asus

i have the cables tucked away as much as i can without using the zip ties in my closet. Once everthing is finalized then i could zip tie the cables out of the way. This system is 90% more organized cable wise then my last one. I wanted this one to have a better air flow so that everything will run cooler.

Looks nice

White drive REALLY stands out!!! I wouldnt likei t, I would go for a diferent color depending on if you are adding lighting to the case or not

I hate cable management - it is a pain, and takes more time than doing a folding@home unit using pen and paper :p I do it though

might want to take that one big round cable from in front of the fan

I have to get my arse in gear and make another case - probably like the wolf one...dunno.

no the dramatic lighting was me holding a flashlight in the low light room tryin to take pics with a camera phone... The cables are pretty much out of the way its mostly a play on the eyes due to the low res pic. Anyways added the cd burner and another fan to the front. Seems to be ok just played ghost recon for about 5 hours, cant move my fingers on my mouse hand but the temps were not above 55c.

I am going to bed since i have to get up for work in 5 hours

hahaha

Nice looking case, and some good components in there as well ;) Like the "dramatic" pic too

Pretty sweet system there, wish that i could have it. Looks cool too, but you might need to color that disk drive

yeah i will have to custom paint my drives to match that case. but at least when its running the front cover is closed. I did get a sata samsund dvd burner. It is the one that does the light scribe. It works very well. I had to get 4 dvd data disks burned for a bid overseas and was down to the line. It burned all 4 in 20 minutes. Met the deadline and my portion of the half billion dollar bid was covered. thank god
