Ur comparing contractors with da knife?

Why not.. look how every single piece of acrylics are being cut neatly edge to edge.. and the contractors I dealt with, fuh.. Neway I was referring to the skillls Mac has.

Hey, thanks guys...


You really are TOO kind....


A few problems though... While the RAM has sufficient clearance, I'm a little concerned that it gets too little airflow being stuck behind the PSU. The expert board will solve this due to the vertical placement of the RAM but... no expert board!

Am considering re-doing the PSU. Perhaps a vertical placement. Unfortunately that would mean re-doing the middle shelf too.... Hmmmm.

A suggestion for the RAM cooling. I looked back at the pics on pg11 to see the RAM area. Looks like there's sum space in the PSU next to the RAM. Y not just put a couple of 40mm fans either on the outer wall of the PSU or inner wall. Then it'll suck the air from the RAM area into the PSU n get exhausted thru the PSU at the back. Easy job. Nonid to refabricate everything all over again.

Nice, nice.
Just screw that coolermaster fan and make it look steadier and you'er all set!

Mac one thing to take note, I have my old chapalang PSU side window replaced with piece of acrylic. complete with small ventilation holes. After using it around 6 months, I notice some very weird pattern on the surface of the acrylic. I suspect is the heat that is causing this to happen. Anybody having the same problem?

Have decided to suspend work on this for the moment. While everything works as planned... a few considerations.

Have finally gotten my grubby hands on a DFI SLi-DR Expert board. Now this is one nice mobo. RAM placement, 8 phase power, excellent board layout, mucho options on BIOS... Will shift attention from modding to overclocking for the moment.

Why not the expert board in the G5?

1. The layout of the PCI-e slots mean that it is spread WIDE. Meaning it needs all 7 *gasp* PCI slots which the G5 case will NOT be able to do. Not without some serious backplate cutting which I am extremely reluctant to do. This got me thinking... CrossFire uses a completely different method of linking the two PCIe GPU's via a crosslink cable. I will utilize this to bypass the need to cut the back of the case.

2. The vertical RAM slots placed to the rear of the mobo will benefit from having an exhaust fan next to it for overclocks. In the LianLi v1000 (with my Aquagate Mini) this means a very large (and very quiet) CoolerMaster Aluminum fan will be ideally placed to cool it....

3. The additional SATA ports of the DFI SLiDR Expert will mean an ability to utilize more than two SATA harddrives. The LianLi v1000 has six bays... Advantage: LianLi.


So there you have it. Am putting the G5 in storage until I build my CrossFire rig.... Will then update this thread.

oh. will miss ur work!

Crossfire board's out...apparently the X1800 master cards should be out as well. So what are we waiting for?

Can't wait for the end-product.

walao, he's got UMS ( unlimited money supply )

Well I certainly don't have UMS.....

But I am interested in Crossfire/X1800 mastercards.... Will have to wait for the user opinions on the setups though.

In any case I'm at present swamped down with work. Modding will continue after christmas though! Ho! Ho! Ho!

U called?

wow just finished reading all the pages.. nice err or should i say great job!!

really respect ur work


p/s - later when u dont want that casing consider pm me 1st! haha

Fantastic man,class and refinement at it's very best.........
