Just curious to see how radical some of these custom cases are getting these days (internal/external).
Who's gonna break the ice?

That's a nice looking tower. I bet you can't sleep with that thing on, aye? BTW, what are those knobs on the front? Soundcard?

It is a fan controller by Vantec, heheheh. The blue neon I have installed is one of those sound controled if you want. Looks like a storm into the case.
About sleeping with it... now it is quite silent, very silent comparing with what it was heheh. And the lighting... just the fan controller can't be turned off but... definatly not good to sleep with it :D

Antec - Sonata
Work in progress:

Nudie

I should get my laser etched window and 12 inch UV lights delivered this week. I'll replace that small 4" UV light with a blue one to highlight the etch.
I also have some UV paint I might use on that Zalman Northbridge cooler.

McArra: Thats some crazy looking case, and fan on your Vid card! What case is that??
Ackmed: What was wrong with your old case, that you had to go crazy on a new one? :) Looks sweet, both of em!

I'll posted some pics once I get my camera back from my brother.

Nothing was the matter with it, I was just over the "in your face" look with all the UV lights, and LED fans and window. It did the job very well. I sold it all, and got this Mach II :)

Parts were bought all over, mostly at highspeedpc.com or frozencpu.com The CPU/GPU/NB blocks were Swiftech's. The HD block was Innovatek, and a Innovcatek Tank-O-Matic, Eheim 1048 150gph pump, D-tek Pro heatercore, Evercool 120mm, and pump relay.

2 Questions for Cubanx:

1) So the AX7 and L1A are enough to cool that Barton at 3200? Wow. I knew the combo would be enough for stock, didn't think it could take the O/C.

2) You previously said you were getting your window delivered... you got a window and installed it, or had someone else do the work? If so, who? I'm usually pretty handy but have a knack for butchering cases somehow. Lack of patience perhaps.

Thanks!

1) The AX-7 and Panaflo L1A are fine on my overclocked 2500+ to 3200+. It's not going to win any cooling prizes but its 100% stable and quiet.

2) I installed it myself with a Dremel to cut the hole and yes patience i was required to get it right. I put two layers of painters masking tape to protect the finish, drew the cut template on the tape and then carefully cut along predrawn lines slowly.
