[Yaik]

Any updates Yaik? :)

some new pics (http://www.owug.com/necromonger/) but, been having problems with some of the Hard ware, might need to modify the over all idea :mad: , oh well, I hope to work on it again this week.

[mnpctech]

I know the feeling. Hope you get it all sorted. btw: Youre welcome to post your photos here as well :)

I see you went w/ Xp-120 HS. Try mounting fan in reverse after you've monitored temps in the current setup. I noticed 4 - 5 degree drop, but its also mated w/ 120 exhaust in backboard of my Tsunami.

Let us know how the Ultra PSU stands up. Its reviewed in current issue of Maximum PC. It scored lowest after failing their power stability under load test. Considering Ultra is their biggest advertiser (back cover every issue) I respect MaxPC for an honest and ballsy review. I got one in a trade from a customer, my main concern was how well it cooled w/ that restrictive intake grill. I haven't used it yet. I'm considering swapping it's modular ports to another PSU.

I almost bought an ultra-X but changed my mind at last second and went with an OCZ 420.

On topic, Lookin good so far..will riddick make an appearance? ^_^

Loved the film, lovin' the sculpin'. :cool:

I'll admit, when I saw the title, I thought it was gonna be another of TGS's projects! :lol:

Hope your h/ware probs don't set you back much.
(oh and as Bill said, feel free to inline yer pics as you make progress)
