    looks good as is, but it would look a bit better if you lost taht trim stuff and just filed teh edges flat and painted were you can see bare metal, then like paint the heads of some screws to match ur case and replace the thumb screws... just some ideas for the future :thumbsup:

    Yeah, that was my original plan actually. The thumb screws were only supposed to be temporary as well. I was going to do some more work, including dremmling the center fan mounting tabs off the bix2. I've actually begun to contemplate going back to high-end air cooling, so I likely will not spend much more time on that rad.

    I like my computers to be like my lyfe...clean and simple. Remove it if you don't need it, hide it if you do need it, and don't let too many wires show. So what do you think? tnv

    Most likely, I had a lot of fun with the h2o, but I miss the simplicity (and silence, my setup is bloody loud) of air-cooling. It's a real pain any time I want to work on my rig. The temperature decrease really did wonders with my AthlonXP system and 9800 pro, but I'm just not seeing any gains with my A64/X850.

    I used case window mod rubber as the surround. Looks pretty good, and allows a lot of air out. Acts almost like a big blowhole. :D
    Where did you get that rubber trim from? I plan on doing something very similar to a case next week, and I like the look of that :thumbsup:

    Hey Dragon, what kind of cases are those? They look pretty cool from the back end.

    Got them from one of those auto aftermarket spares places. Sell oils/filters/tools/consumables. It supposed to fit on the sharp edges of doors.

    Lian Li V1000. Love the case, not the fact they don't have a reset button. Just the on button.

    Got it from bigfoot computers I believe. I basically bought a case side window kit (the one that comes with a pre-cut piece of plexi, and the surround, and I just cut the trim to size.

    Due to cpu running way too hot, made a bit of a mod.

    2 fans.........1 for cpu, 1 for ram cooling as we're planning to o/c it.
    Used a couple of sprinkler surrounds as i had nothing else in the shed. :rolleyes:

    Temp dropped by 10C. :thumbsup:

    what fans are those??

    Adda AD0812LB-A70GL. Came out of a brand new Lian Li case i picked up for a song. The guy had 3 Papst fans in it and gave me the Adda's.

    They push 26.2cfm for 22.5db.

    I put the second one in for ram cooling as we are throwing in a OCZ DDR ram booster which we have but never used as yet.

    Thought i'd give it an Aussie touch, hence the Vegemite. :cool:

    :D decided to test theory that as long as there is lots of air flow, you can garbage up the rest of the space . so there are 2 120 mm Silverstones blowing out the top, 1 Antec 120mm blowing out the back, the Antec PSU has its 2 fans blowing out, and there is 1 Antec 120mm sucking in through the front. the CPU fan is a 9bladed Silverstone.all fans have speed controls, but i have found that only the CPU fan has to be full power. all others are at lowest speed. then i added as much lights and uv sleeving as i could fit.
    so, at highest settings in Doom3 or Far Cry, the CPU temp is usually around 40 and the GPU is around 60. one strange thing- if all exhaust fans are maxed, CPU temp drops,and GPU temp rises. i believe that is because there is so much CFM going out those 120 mm exhausts, that the GPU cooler(Arctic) can't force air out! i actually get to have a fairly quiet rig. ambient is around 22, idle- both CPU and GPU 30-32, normal useboth in upper 30's. i kind of like the cluttered look, and at night i can play games with no room lights, just the comps. lights :p

    actually,my plan WAS to not clean it up, and see how the cooling went. so far , so good. i like seeing the spaghetti light up at night, while playing games. some day i may tuck it all back and tie it up, but not for now.
    i'll also show my eBay comp. all hardware bought off eBay. hardware also almst identical to clutter case.all modding stuff was leftovers from first.(kinda got carried away buying stuff)picture blurry because i moved camera slightly. :shakehead

    Not so much a mod, as a un-mod(?) of my computer. Started to take out anything I didn't need, then anything I could. Finally I was hiding everything leftover. Now there's more not there then there is there (?) tnv
