BUILD WEEK(S) PROGRESS!!!
Hello everyone!
It's been way too long since I've posted on what I've been doing and how the build has been going for the week.
Seems like all my spare time has been put into working on detail work, etc.
The final build has been much simpler than I thought it would be as things seem to be going together really well and coming along nicely.
The only parts I have left to order for the build are:
CPU
GPU
HDDs
Fan filters
RAM heatsinks (as if I'd keep them red, lol)
Thermal compound (Indigo Xtreme)
New mouse (which will get modded to match pad vol knob, kb)
I will be ordering all of this stuff at once on my next order, just have to wait for the money to come in.
I've finished and mounted the back plate and will wait to mount the RAD to it until I have all the parts in so I can build all of the water cooled stuff all at once.
Build Pics!
Well, here goes...
Support posts to mount mesh to
Progress!
PSU mounted.
Most of the wires ran.
All done!
Lots of stuff
But it all fits! I will probably end up painting those screw heads black
NO COLORED WIRING!!!
Much better!
Hole drilled for fan wires
LCD panel finished and mounted
Marked and ready to cut
Time for the hand file
DONE!
I'm happy with it!
DVD drive finished and mounted
All wires up from the shelves
At present.
I'm making little touch ups here and there with my flat black paint and need to correct a few small things. All detail work at this point.
Once I get all the rest of my parts in, it shouldn't take me more than a day or two to have this baby up and runnin'!
Thanks again for all of your support! I'll have progress as it comes!
