New Project (stage 1) (20/7/04)

[Johnny™]

Got the old 'itchy dremmel finger' feeling again :twisted:

I estimate it'll take me a few weeks to get this one finished, what with work/house/fiance committments, and still waiting on a number of parts.

This is what I've gathered up so far!

Hardware:-
Lian Li V1000, Antec true Power 480W, Meanwell 320W Peltier PSU, XP2500 mobile, NF7-S V2, Radeon 9800XT 256mb, 2 X 76GB raptors (to be raid 0), 180GB Maxtor, Plexor DVD RW R-R+ CDRW combo, Dell 14" laptop LCD screen (to be fitted to a side window).

Cooling:- New WACC Dual Row compact radiator, New 350mm WACC Active reservoir 10mm barbs, WACC AMD CPU block 10mm barbs, New WACC NB 10mm barbs, WACC GPU push fit, 223W potted Peltier, 2 X 5cm copper coldplates, 2 X 120mm fans (17db), 120 aluminium fan.

Case Mods:-2 X Matrix orbital 2 X 20 LCD displays (8 Temp probes) 8 UV CCFL, 20 UV leds

I've started making some changes to the case, (bear in mind this case cost £160 so its gently gently!) i just hate it when that dremmel slips and you get a huge score right up the side of your case! dont you? :-D

I've started chopping and have made some interesting modifications to the res, Scott (viperlair), your comments about adding some UV led to the res caps were interesting, i was think exactly the same thing! :wink:

The images might seem a little pixelated as i've optimised them as much as possible for all you 56Kers out there!

This is the 350mm active res with the barbs removed. I plan to drill two hole's in the top of the case and used the barbs to fix the reservoir to the case. It will sit horizontally and the tubing will be hidden inside the case! :D

One problem i will encounter is where to place the Meanwell Pelt PSU! is slightly bigger than i had estimated! :(

The reservoir cap removed.

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC301.jpg

Inside the reservoir. You can see the internal grooves to enhance surface area

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC302.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC303.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC304.jpg

The reservoir cap had to be sanded flat on the edge that the barbs were mounted on to get it to sit flush to the case.

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC305.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC306.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC307.jpg

The first set of holes drilled in the top of the case. These had to be spot on or else the barbs wouldn't marry up to the holes in the reservoir. The good thing is i could get it wrong as the res will hide the holes but i would have to then use a washer and it might not be water tight! :shock:

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC308.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC309.jpg

The res fits perfectly but i will still have to test how water tight it is.

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC310.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC311.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC312.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC313.jpg

The barbs fixed from the inside of the case.

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC314.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC315.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC316.jpg

Some UV Leds, these will be attached to the low power gpos on the MX222 lcd and will fit inside the cap of the reservoir! :wink:

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC317.jpg

I drilled the holes at an angle so the UV led will reflect into the reservoir. The coolant will have a flourescent invisible blue dye added. Hopefully this will be quite a nice effect through the clear acrylic ends of the reservoir when lit by these ultrabrite UV LEDs.

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC318.jpg

Two 6 mm holes to place the UV leds in.

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC319.jpg

The led fits nicely! :D

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC320.jpg

Two small holes drilled and aligned to allow the led wires down into the case.

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC321.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC322.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC323.jpg

The new double row radiator in black. I'm not going to change the colour as this portion of the won't be on view.

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC324.jpg

I dremelled a hole into the bottom of the case wall this allows a perfect of the radiator onto the front fan assembly. The front fan is mounted on a sound deading device so this should keep it even quieter!

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC325.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC326.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC327.jpg

I've added some trim to stop the radiator from getting scratched and extra noise deadening.

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC328.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC329.jpg

The radiator viewed from will the front bays removed i have the inlet outlet arranged so there is as little tubing and distance running from radiator to the CPU.

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC330.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC331.jpg

I removed the case fan from the rear of the case and replaced it with an aluminium one. The removed fan will be in a push/pull configuration for maximum cooling at load. These fans will be connected to the MX222 unit and will be controlled by DS18B20 temperature probes (accurate to 0.5oC). These will be attached to the CPU die, cold plates and inline water temp sensor.

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC332.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/WACC3/WACC333.jpg

Thats it for now. :(

I'm just waiting for my coldplates, neoprene, conformal coating and dielectric grease to arrive. The next installation will be installing the pelt and testing the watercooling setup. Hopefully i will be able to modify the hold down clip to accomodate the extra width of the cold plates and peltier as it will require an extra 10mm of clearance :shock: . I'm curious to find out if anyone has installed a peltier with a WACC system?

EDIT: I forgot to mention the 14" LCD monitor Screen to be mounted on the side window!

:eek: That res fits PERFECTLY with the finish of the Li-Li! I :wub: it!

And I must say that it looks like the V1000 and V2000 are the perfect cases to watercool in, everything just seems to 'fit' without too much modification.

Q: how are you going to fill that res? flip the system on its ass? that's the only drawback to your design, imho. Not a dealkiller though.

I like the way I'm setup (if I didn't, i'd be working on changing it) - I remove the top sheet metal panel (1 thumbscrew) and screw the top off the res which is hiding underneath it, add water, and reverse the process. cake.

A: (advice) ditch the 120mm X 25mm fans in favor of 120mm x 38mm fans. Lower RPM, less noise OR (if you so choose) same RPM more CFM!

[mrplow]

Would just have to sit the case on it's back (not sure if that's what you meant by ass) and fill the res through the cap... seems fairly decent to me.

Looks great :)

[Darv]

Looks stunning already!! Can't wait to see what you do next!

Those cases are just so good as a modding base. :wub:

[Johnny™]

It is an exact match for colour! i love the WACC kit :D

I'm not filling the res, but using bleed and fill valves so it will just be a matter of opening both sucking coolant in and expelling air. It will require a bit of tipping up initially :unsure: to get rid of the air in the res but i usually do this anyway with to make sure there is no trapped air in the rad, north bridge, etc.

The design of the Res it for verticle mounting, there will be a review on it on www.viperlair.com (http://www.viperlair.com) tomorrow (21st July) and you can see how its filled etc. I just couldn't find a handy place to mount it. I don't like fixing it to a side window as its awakard when it comes to getting at the inside. I thought this looked sweet!

Is there a particular brand of fan you would recommend?

[dutchcedar]

Slicker' 'n snot, Johnny!!! :unsure:

I can tell you did a lot of thinkin' before startin' this one, but I gotta say, it paid off big time. Like Starbuck said, I think that reservoir fits the finish perfectly.

This is great stuff... a V1000 and V2000, both bein' modded on WizD. Uber coolness... B)

I agree with the larger fan comment, BTW... :rant:




Dutch sits back in the rockin' chair while others show the way to mod the new LianLi cases... :wacko:

Yea, and we arrived at party empty handed... makes ya think about one doesn't it?

[dutchcedar]

Yea, and we arrived at party empty handed... makes ya think about one doesn't it?You betcha!! :blink:

[Starbuck3733T]

"We've come along way, baby."

It almost goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway, I'm looking forward to updates on this one!

[Darv]

Is there a particular brand of fan you would recommend?

Papst make great fans.

[Nexxo]

Hmmm... tasty! B) Keeping my eye on this one...

[Starbuck3733T]

You all can correct me if I'm wrong, but papst 4412FGL wouldn't be a bad choice. Being as I'm in the US, I'm a big "fan" (pardon the pun) of the panaflo L1A fans. I have 3 of them in my rig, 120mm aluminum frame variety. they polish up real nice. For your application if you could get your mits on some of these (you'd have to hit up ebay, as they're not manufacturered anymore) you might be able to get them anondized to match your rig... that would be real hot.

The alu frame versions are, however, slightly louder than their plastic frame counterparts.

[Nexxo]

I concur. Panaflos are the quietest, most reliable performers. Most Papsts are Ok but reportedly they do tend to have a sort of whine at low RPMs.

If you can get your hands on alu Panaflos (FBA-12G12L), I'm your man. I haven't seen any on eBay for ages!

[Darv]

Hmm, not noticed that on my Papst at 7v or 5v.

Have to agree the aluminium Panaflow's are very tasty!

[Risky]

T'was a little off topic I guess but if you do want to talk fans head this way http://www.wizdforums.co.uk/showthread.php?p=5279

[Starbuck3733T]

Risky, lets not hijack the thread with this post... but here's how to convert fans w\o RPM sensors into fans that DO have RPM sensors ;)
http://www.pc-workshop.net/articles/fans/rpmmonitor.shtml

[Johnny™]

Actually i dont need rpm sensing fans :h34r:

All fans (both case, cpu and mobo)are controlled via the MO MX222 lcd unit. I have 6 (dallas one wire) thermal probes (DS18B20) attached to it. Accurate to 0.5oC. I don't trust mobo thermistors. The MX222 is capable of providing power to the fans in increments of 1% and can switch fans off completely if they aren't needed. This setup is capable of running passively cooled due to the performance of the passively cooled reservoir.

But i doubt with the overclock i want to achieve, this will never happen.

[Starbuck3733T]

Moved to chop shop . Chop shop is for mods in progress ;)

[Johnny™]

Did a little bit more last night.

(WACC guys will have seen most of the images of the WACC components before most of you being owners! :-D but I'm posting them anyway as i can swipe and paste into other PLs i have started.)

I knew figuring our where to place the Meanwell PSU was going to be a problem after i purchased it, and reading the spec for size. I have hoped to place it in the bottom of the case after removing one of the hard disk racks and placing the WACC rad outside the case. I decided against this after seeing how well the fan was mounted at the front of the case and that it would be the perfect place for the radiator for optimum airflow. I hope i would still be able to squeeze it in at the bottom.

:( nope! just slightly too tall!

here are a few images of bits and pieces!

This is a good end shot of the reservoir to show how it has been designed for optimum surface area, both inside and out.

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc340.jpg

A picture of the Pump, I like the feet as they should absorb a lot of the pump vibration and will also allow crafty mounting to the top of the case.

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc341.jpg

This is the Meanwell 320 switching psu. I bought this from Sidewindercomputers (http://www.sidewindercomputers.com) in the US it was £60 inc p&p, i think they are selling here for nearly £115!

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc342.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc343.jpg

I thought about placing the Meanwell here, but it might interfere with the WACC CPU block... so it had to go into a drive bay. I didnt want to put any components into the body of the case that might output heat, but i believe meanwells dont really emit a lot of heat.

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc344.jpg

I had to modify a floppy bracket to hold the Meanwell in place. I just dremelled it a little and drilled two holes.

The meanwell has a special mounting bracket to fit it into drive bays but i think this does the job!

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc345.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc346.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc347.jpg

this is the bracket in place. I had to place it so it wouldnt interfere with tubing coming from the radiator.

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc348.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc349.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc350.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc351.jpg

The WACC CPU cooler copper core.

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc352.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc353.jpg

The CPU cooler with AMD mounting bracket. I will have to used the universal Mounting bracket as this one won't give me enough space for pelt and coldplates. The nylon bolts should be long enough and tightening is still via the innovative single nut system, applying even pressure across the die rather than using traditional spring systems.

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc354.jpg



http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc355.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc356.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc357.jpg

The WACC Northbridge Cooler, i am going to change the push fits for barbs in keeping with the rest of the system.

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc358.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc359.jpg

I've figured out the the best way to fill the system will be as normal by removing the reservoir cap. This will involve tipping the whole machine bottom up, then removing the reservoir cap... makes sense! :wink:

Thats it till next week. I'll be installing the motherboard and hopefully have all the components to test the pelt and watercooling.

[Starbuck3733T]

all this shiny stuff is making me druel :)

Switching out FOR BARBS? Blasphemy! I've got nothing but barbs atm and I'd LOVE to have pushfits!!

[dutchcedar]

I like barbs. :rant:

Truth is, I'll be tearing my 2400MP rig down for an overhaul... first job on the list... barbs everywhere. ^_^

Did I forget to mention... cool stuff you're doing here... :unsure:

[toby]

nice job on the rad :)

[Fibbles]

Truth is, I'll be tearing my 2400MP rig down for an overhaul... first job on the list... barbs everywhere. ^_^
I don't care for the Innovatek compression fittings, and I hate barbs, Plug and Cools are nice.

Nice work on the case though. I really really wish I'd picked up a VXXX instead of the PC7077 now. Since I haven't modded it yet I suppose I could sell it. Anyways, ^_^ can't wait to see what's next.

[Pug]

Hi Johnny. If I didn't say so before, welcome to WizD. B)

That Meanwell PSU fit's nicely in keeping with the rest of the case how you've done it. I didn't see the original bracket but that FDD tray definitely blends it in.

One has to wonder what your connections with WACC are though...
Did we really need six inlines of their CPU block to tell us anything about your project? :unsure:

[Starbuck3733T]

I must have plug and cools for my next rig or rig revision!

[Johnny™]

Mod time again! :-D

This time i have installed the peltier (tricky job) and WACC cooler block on to my NF7s Mobo, added a relay to control the pump and meanwell powersupply for the peltier and built some home made probes to slip under the ziff socket and attach to cold plate, cpu and hotplate.

I'll not got thought the whole peltier install as there are already some very comprehensive articles on this... needless to say its not as easy as it looks! I scratched the bottom of the cpu in the process...:wacko:

I had to use the WACC universal hold down clamp as the AMD one just didnt give enough clearance. I also had to use thread wire instead of bolts as i couldn't find M4 bolts long enough :(

some images:

I've used AS5 thermal epoxy to attach the two copper cold plates to either side of the peltier and quickly wired it up to determine the hot and cold side before installation onto the MoBo

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc360.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc361.jpg


http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc362.jpg

The copper plates, neoprene and WACC CPU block with Universal hold-down clip. I wont go through the installation details but if you want to know more there is a very good tutorial by Jon on installation, over at the modfathers..

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc363.jpg

In this image you can see my home made Dallas 1-wire digital temp sensors attached to the directly to the bottom of the CPU, emerging from between the neoprene. The probes will be attached to a modified Matrix Orbital MX222 display to control radiator fans in the cooling loop and to display accurate temperature on the LCD display.

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc364.jpg

Another shot of the CPU and north bridge blocks

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc365.jpg

A close up of the temp sensors.. these will be wired in series to show coldplate hotplate ambient and water temperature.

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc366.jpg

I have put UV braid and molexes on all wiring from my Antec 480W True blue.

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc367.jpg


http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc368.jpg


http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc369.jpg

:( there goes the warranty! :wink: ive opened up the PSU as i intend to install a relay switch inside. When i got it open and had a look inside i couldn't believe how little room there was! On removing the fan i couldn't see anywhere to fit the relay switch! :shock:

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc370.jpg

The relay!! i made it with components ordered from RS components and some circuit board.

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc371.jpg

The great thing about Antecs are most have an external molex at the back of the case so you can attach an external fan eg. for a radiator in a watercooled system. It made it easier to solder the +12V and -VE for the relay.

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc372.jpg

The 240V live and earth for the pump and meanwell were soldered here. For those not familiar with relays, power won't be supplied to the pump or meanwell until the system is in a powered on state, thus the pelt and pump will switch off when the system is powered down :-D . There is a very good tutorial over at procooling.com.

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc373.jpg

the 12v and -ve switching power coming from the PSU.

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc374.jpg

Here you can see the 240V input controlled by the relay, which i will connect to a molex for easy removal.

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc375.jpg



http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc376.jpg

Here you can see the pump and meanwell supply molex, and the only position i could fit the relay internally was tight to the top fan!

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc377.jpg


http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc378.jpg

I swapped the ugly white molex for a nice UV reactive blue one! tidied up the cabling and popped the hood back on! job done. That's what I believed would be the trickiest part of this mod, as tinkering with 240V scares the hell outta me! but it wasn't that bad.. guess ill have to wait till the powerswitch is thrown and pray [-o< nothing goes BANG!

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc379.jpg

I've just popped the motherboard into the case and installed the meanwell again to make sure there were no obstructions. the only bad thing i can forsee is connecting the sata raptors as the SATA headers are at the top of the board and the HDDs at the bottom, and i hate unnecessary cabling! :x

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc380.jpg


http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc381.jpg

The V1000 has a handy quick release way of installing HDD bt having larger screws that slide along a rail with a locking system.

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc382.jpg

the system upright!

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc383.jpg

Next i hope to install the pump, tubing and fill the system for leak testing..
...till then!

[mrplow]

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc377.jpg

Sorry if I misunderstood (sugar high from cake) but is that 230V going through a molex connector for the pump?

Is that safe? :huh:

I don't know why I'm worried, I guess it's not going to explode or anything... just doesn't seem very "heavy duty"...

[Johnny™]

Sorry if I misunderstood (sugar high from cake) but is that 230V going through a molex connector for the pump?

Is that safe? :huh: Yeah, 'safe as houses'! :h34r: (as long as you don't leave loose or trailing wires and insulate it correctly). Anyway i saw it on an article somewhere, the guy used molexes to connect the 240V from his pump to his PSU directly.

Anyway, I was testing the system last night for leaks left it on all night, no leaks and no problems actually it was very handy for filling with the system off, as i've made a mains lead with a molex connector and can use this to directly power the pump by disconnecting it from the PSU and connecting it to the mains lead.

I'll have some more images this evening of my GPU mod ;)

[Starbuck3733T]

Oh gooody.

One concern I'd have is the coverage of the block on your hotplate of your TEC... the edges wont get cooled. You might want to take a look at JayDee's lumpy channel TEC block at procooling, I feel that would be a better solution for the tec than the WACC block. Just constructive criticism of course!

[Johnny™]

Yes, i had that worry... but i'll have to wait and see. This is such a good block i really want to use it. I added another coldplate on top rather than adding the CPU cooler directly ontop of the peltier in the hope it will dissipate the heat away from the edges of the pelt and be absorbed by the copper block. I figured that the water channels inside most copper block will not reach the edges anyway, but your point is very valid! :(

Mod time again..:D

Another small GPU mod.

I have to give props to Womblebt for this one!

The WACC GPU cooler (http://www.wetandchillychips.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=26&products_id=94) !

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc384.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc385.jpg

I've drilled a couple of holes to fit two 5mm blue leds (being incredibly careful not to crack the acrylic block!)

The great thing about the Lian-Li V1000 case is, thats because the MoBo is upside down, you can really show off that GPU cooler. Traditionally it would have been hidden underneath the Graphics card!

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc387.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc388.jpg

Two 5mm LEDs fit perfectly!

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc389.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc390.jpg

I've soldered the two LEDs in series with a 1000 ohm resistor (heat shrink over the whole lot). This will be attached to the 12V fan out put on the Graphics card.

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc391.jpg

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc392.jpg

The GPU fitted to the graphics card!

http://www.kilkeelgolfclub.org/ebay/wacc3/wacc395.jpg

Here is wombles WACC (http://www.wetandchillychips.co.uk) GPU lit up which i think will look excellent in the dark. I haven't actually fired up the system as i have a some more testing to do but it will look pretty much like this!

http://efc4.isolate-gaming.com/64-bit/shiny%20gpu.jpg

I'm nearly done with leak testing (all clear so far) and hope to fire the pelt up tonite! then i'll be adding a modified MX222 with a Lian-Li face plate (better fit than the provided MO face plate) and connecting up all the case LEDs, CCFL etc..

(A big thank you to Wombletbt for the idea for this mod!)

till then...
