Start date 10/10/2011.
Got this two casing. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Will try to retain the stock looks as much as possible without gutting the whole casing when fitting in standard pc components. I'm still wondering if the trouble will be worth it or should I have just stuck to using Lian-Li's for alu cool glory  http://imageshack.us/g/11/slide1dj.jpg/ This post has been edited by zenix: Oct 14 2011, 02:04 AM |

Had some time today so did abit of planning.
Issues: 1. Backpanel won't line-up with any *TX mobo. 2. Mobo screws won't line-up with any *TX 3. Any GPU going in won't line-up with the backpanel ** motherboad form factor wiki ** So how am I going to solve all this without cutting and gutting the beautiful case?   This is my project ideas thus so far for the G5.         Added on October 25, 2011, 3:17 pmare g4 and g5 ram cross compatible? This post has been edited by zenix: Oct 25 2011, 03:17 PM |
