Skulltrail:

Ghettooooooooooing it like a boss

Some minor changes:












I did some minor cable management... it didn't work so well. Also moved the PSU to the bottom so only one of the chambers are a mess

Also blue LEDs are just temp.

Enjoy. Some of these require captions...but I'm too lazy. Maybe later.

Edit, good god I'm going to have to reorganize these. Photobucket put them in a terrible make-no-sense-at-all order.

 

[EK_Derick]

Meh had a GPU change for the lulz.

Here they are: Prepare yourselves for a very "Derick" thing.












Got these for a nice price. I'm sure a lot of you are wondering why I went with such an old card. One because it's me, two because I don't game that often and 5870 quad fire is more than plenty for myself. Lastly, the 2GB of vram over the 1GB ref will very nice for 1440P and over. Paint is a little chipped but I plan on repainting the red accent orange anyway.

I do plan to watercool these.

No G-Vans product here folks! This is heavy duty, high quality FC. I wasn't even aware the FC10 had a temperature controller on it and was pleasantly surprised to see it! It also included a 2012 calendar, which I was happy and kind of bummed to see as it's almost 2013...however I flipped it over and saw that it was a 2013 calendar as well

Huge kudos to Spawn32 on OCN & Lamptron for sponsoring this! More to come

Playing around with WC'ing the Ares

Stock


Or is it





Stock & Raystorm


Stock Screws


Raystorm Screws, did I mention it was perfect?


The problem...


This block looks meant for this card


Stock off - has no problem with clearance on the other side.


Mmm nice and dirty. Just the way I like it.


More of the problem:


Top back on, love this


Another pic.


Probably be ordering the other Raystorms shortly.

My rad looked like this... see that dust? Yeah imagine that on the entire rad. It's nice and clean now


A little frontal rearrangement


Dem Ares


R.I.P.


Yummy


Did some rearranging, added back the plate separating the main chamber from the bottom chamber. I think this looks a LOT cleaner.

Final shot for today:

So basically to update everyone on the other forums.

My SR-2 died, so had to order a replacement which put a huge delay in the build as well as only allowing me to build one of my 2P 2011 setups

On a positive side, my new SR-2 will be here next week, as well as chips for my Z9PE-D8 WS.

I have a couple random things coming in from the DD fire sale, and a second PSU for the STH10 portion.

Heh, do you fold? We've got a great team that would definitely make use of your two 2P setups.

Hehe I'm an editor for the OCN team
