Hi,

Further to my previous thread :

I put the rig together with the stock cooler, then my Tuniq Tower came so started all over again and put that in.

Some people requested some finished pics so here they are.

So as you can see I've done pretty much the bare minimum in cable management. Hopefully that should keep it cool enough for some good overclocking. Currently 39 degrees @ 3.4GHz with a few apps open. Time for some stress testing and try to go further.

If any one has any tips related to my particular parts please feel free to share !

Cheers

Wow dude Im loving it!

And I thought my aeroflower was big!

yeah its a beast alright....

unfortunately I installed the Tuniq Tower the wrong way around so the black cover on top isn't on poperly..... the air is flowing towards the back of the case so thats all that matters

Tuniq looks better upside down with the fan in its correct orientation. Looks spikey and messy. I put my bro's tuniq in like that

Looks very nice otherwise mate. Try to hide some of the calbes with strategically placed cable ties and itl look even better !

Nice rig there, well done

.

Did not realise the case was long, I`ve got a lian li pc7 and my sata cables on the hard drives are touching the graphic cards.

wow thats nice... once you sorted your cable's it be well wkd

The tuniq does the Akasa 62 full justice

oxygene · 18 Nov 2006 at 18:55

you have a floppy disk drive..... It was all going so well

Borden · 18 Nov 2006 at 19:04

Nice work. I didn't realise it was that long either. Looking at the first pic it seems to have a bit more space than my aurora between the psu and cd drives.

I want a Tuniq Tower now

It looks like such a beast.

As for the floppy drive, why not install it into the spare hdd bay and have it facing inwards. Then you just need to open up the sidepanel on the rare occasion that you need it

yeah loosk ncie that tuniq is huge makes my freezer 7 pro look small lol

Jaap74 · 18 Nov 2006 at 21:01

yeah i don't even need the floppy so it's not connected..... I didn't realise that I could use RAID without needing drivers on a floppy with the P5W mobo

geff_r · 17 Feb 2007 at 00:29

yea its almost as if the tuniq was made for the eclipse.

Was hoping to look at temps

PU7E · 17 Feb 2007 at 03:55

I did the same with my TT, so i took the fan assembly out of the HS, and turned it round. Fan flows in the right direction, and the top cover is on the correct way too. Its just a bit fiddly with the wires.
