Could you mount the cooler with the fan at the front?

He seems to be on AMD socket.
Its a common issue that coolers only fit pointing upwards.

Could you mount the cooler with the fan at the front?

Unfortunately not due to the odd shape that is socket AM3, once my braided cables and Alchemy LEDs arrive I'll get some better shots and write up the review.

I've now also removed one of the two hdd cages and the vertical bar that holds the piece of plastic that hides the psu and drive bays. Looks much cleaner without it

I love how you've got that long bit of pipe work going from one rad to the other.

Yes I am rather proud of that.

It's going to be a shame when I get blocks for the graphics because that bit of pipe is going to have to be changed to go through the GPU's

Couple of slightly better pics showing the hdd cage and support bar removed.

Internet cookie to the person that spots what I forgot to do.





Edit: and ignore the shoddy looking fan controller, I have a sythe Kaze Master on its way

You forgot to plug in the GPU power connectors.

Cookie for you, I didn't even realised till I tried to boot it back up

Well, first I bough some bits...

Then realised I'd forgotten the case...

After a lot of effort I'm happy for now with the cable tidying (first attempt at that, never bothered before).

This is of course, stage 1.

Stage 2 is to get a decent cooler for the 3770K and a buttload of fans.
Stage 3 is to replace all the plain ugly cables (especially the orange SATA cable!) with nice braided ones
Stage 3 is to water-cool the Jeebus out of it - GPU included, keeping to a Blue and Nickle colour scheme and cover-up that red on the Power supply.

Work in Progress.

I built this a couple of years ago, may be time for some upgrades, 780 for starters... however living in Vietnam now, air flow and cooling have been improved out of necessity.....

I also have a little HTPC I built around the same time (2010), still perfect for the job!

 

[jonnyp1993]

Thats nice dude, is that a cm case... one of them huge ones lol

My god that is sexy I have always thought about water-cooling! Never took the plunge

The mini ITX case is an Antc ISK110. About as small as you can get for a mini ITX board and fit it all in.

as I mentioned, this build was end of 2010... look how SSD's have come on!

This is the current situation with my Nanoxia DS1.

Ordered some braided fan splitter cable and some black SATA cables to match.

Next on the agenda is a new GFX card as my 560Ti died recently and maybe move the HDDs to a different position to improve the intake into the case.

 

[Hyburnate]

Not too bad need some blue cable extensions

 

[archerz]

I was looking at getting a set of these...
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-124-CS&groupid=1929&catid=2221 but concerned about the connections. Do all modular PSUs use the same connections at PSU end?

You want these instead

[archerz]

they are all extension cables though? I would like it to be direct from PSU

 

[doyll]

Nice job Archerz. I like the blue & black theme. Blue SATA cables would look good too.
