To many wires!!!! So cut some off :D

No then this is where i had a major issue!
The new pump top had a large leak, a VERY large one, the outlet had cracked and joined with the screw thread = water all over the place and inside the pump...
The pump ended up fried and the Top useless.

SOoo Its a good thing i have 4 pumps! So in goes a spare 18W ddc with an old top i had laying about

One last problem.

I have no idea where to mount my 2x 1TB drives... They wot fit down below or in the middle, or in the drive bays as they will look a mess.
I think i will need to make some sort of place for them at the top so i cant actually see them.

Please let me know what you think and if i can change anything.

Things to do:
Braid the second PCI-E wire.
Wire up DVD drives with new Sata wire im makeing.(short)
Make a HDD place.
 
Aww can't take a nice dose of the truth?

The choice of colour scheme is rather qeustionable as it looks rather like an epileptic child chose the components. You are aware Xigmatek make blue versions of those fans right?

Ah well enjoy your "safe" build.

WHy are you attacking my choice of hardware parts?

I am aware that they do, but as you can see they are only used on the 360 rad...

If you look its all blue / black, thats boring... i wanted some orange!

If your just out to take the mick out of peoples rigs then get lost, I was haveing a laugh about the tubes as you can see from my last post on the other builds log.

Grow up.

I couldnt care if you are a Don... Your acting like a "stupid head" < so you will understand.
 
Good, I hope you are... Shows that your exactly what i said you were.

If you remove your stupid post i will get the ones i spoke ti you removed aswell.

there was no need to start a text war on my build log.
 
Dayum boi!! What dye did you use? It's looking nice mate :)

Its Thermochill EC6 UV Blue :)
With Blue XSPC Hose

Well I am attacking the decision to cut some of your PSU cables!!! you ok in the head?

Yea im ok in the head, Its no longer in warrenty due to this but i have saved the wires so if need be i will re attach them and can use them again.

Is that a bad thing to do :confused:
 
Its the TX950 not HX :P

I dont wnt to sell it, if i upgrade for any reason my brother has dibs.

Might seem silly to others but the extra wires i have removed have saved me so much space down below :)
 
Well.

he got me thinking... So got 5 blue versions of these fans on the way.

and 2 red 92mm ones... i will be spraying them blue though (cant find any blue 92mm ones :O)

Also in talks with someone about creating a new cage for the HDD's and the SSD, will be placed where the SSD is currently :)
 
I have had a New HDD cage created for me that will sit on the mobo try and have the SSD on the top so its still in view.

Its currently drying after a coat of Black paint and will soon have a some pics :)
