at present it does. but not by the time i have put red chrome on some bitfenix fittings.

and fitted 1 of these.

But on the bad side. I just had to RMA the motherboared.

Came up with 30 on the led poster. meaning "system is resuming from S3 sleepmode"

and thats all it would do. everything was working all the fans where spinning etc. tried removing ram and graphics cards. tried doing a static discharge. tried booting into the secondary bios. reset the bios. hard resetted the bios using the jumper. nothing would work.

So had to take it back to the shop i got it from. and i have been told it will be a 28 day wait. OH WONDERFULL. so i am on the lookout for a chepo 1155 mb so that at least im not having to use a damn sempron 3200+ that i dragged out of a cupboared and made a make shift computer out of lol.

wow..

Using emachineshop I desighned a bracket to properly secure the rad in the front of the drive bays.

It is being made out of 2.2mm 303 stainles. and then having a brushed finish applied to it.

I did toy with the idea to use 4mm perspex and then light up the edges with Red LED's.
Still undicided on this though. So i orderd one in stainless and one in perspex.

If the connectors are at the top how do you get them to the monitor.
Also did the PSU have any trouble reaching?

Connection's from the top to the monitor?

I assume you mean the DVI lead from the GPU to the monitor.

Well if your remove the lid of the Raven this is what you see. Just like the rear of any case realy.

But their is pleanty of room under the lid to rout the cables to the reaer of the case where they go under the carry handle and out the back.

as for the PSU for the most part yes, al the cable reached however the pcie powercable where a streatch. hence why i went for some phobya pre modded cables. and being as i was buying them as extentions for the gpu's i weant and got them for all the showing cables.

BUT good news Asus sent me a nice new motherboared to replace the one that randomly died. Just so happend to die on me wilst fitting a new radiator making me think i did something wrong lol.

So a couple of random photos.

Next on the egenda is fitting my stunning res. and fittings.

It actually looks really nice, but I guess if you spray the gold things it voids the warranty? Imma just buy some spares off flea bay and spray them

Im yet to have a case go wrong to be fair lol

Hyburnate · 20 Sep 2011 at 22:20

Yanno, never know the day when you put a fan in and it falls apart in your hands, I don't know what I was thinking when I said that O.o

Jony27 · 21 Sep 2011 at 19:03

i LOLed when i saw the intel stock cooler along with a maximus extreme

how come your not watercooling the 2 cards?
and tbh, i prefered the clear tubing with red dye.

The cards will be watercooled soon. its just finding the 5870 blocks that i actualy like lol.

It black as when i fit the res their will be way to much red in the case. also going to be Red fittings to go with it.

Any modifications you make to something you've bought only affect the modified parts unless they lead to the failure of another part.

For example, if you've put aftermarket alloy wheels on a car, the dealer can't not honour the warranty on the gearbox. However if you replace the ECU on an engine they can refuse to honour the warranty on all sorts of bits since the ECU is integral to all sorts of stuff. So its a bit of a grey area depending on the complexity of the modification.

It would change his ability to send it back for a refund though.

Anyway, props to the OP, the red stripes look much better than the gold.

Hyburnate · 22 Sep 2011 at 19:27

Yup, the gold look tacky and in the Raven 04 (If/when they make it) they should loose them for a much more less in your face colour or like BitFenix do with their Shinobi case sell new stripes
