Completed a basic setup for a customer recently .. The setup is not really for UV funky guys ... but "performance"

Its quite hard to squeeze everything inside considering its a quite big TT Armor case somemore ..

Cable management is hardest, I had to custom solder all fan cables & some other cables seperately in order to hide the wires ..

Below are some hardwares & details :

5x Seagate 320gb Sata II .10 model .. ( quickest Sata drive !! )
DFI Expert 939socket
1x PCI-E 7900GTX 512mb ( SLI ready anytime )
1x DVDRW
1x Internal memory card reader
1x M-Play Blast Programmable LCD display ( 5.25" )
1x Pump
1x 3x120mm Fan radiator
1x Swiftech Storm CPU block
1x DD Maze4 GPU block
1x DD Chipset block
Clearflex hose
3x Nidec 120mm 3bladed fan with thermal sensor for the radiator
1x Shroud ( for the middle fan on rad, )
PC ICE UV reactive coolant. Non conductive, so any leak NOT supposed to short your hardwares ..

Sound insulation material for automobiles but used on PC ..

Customer didn't want to spend on my other UV ATA & Sata cables, so we use back the original UGLY DFI cables. Those yellow cables are indeed ugly & dull looking under UV light even though its reactive ....sianzz

** Shroud act like an air tunnel. Made from a faulty 120mm fan )

One of the nice case i have seen....

But i think the holes for water tube to flow out or in from radiator could cover with U-Channel for protecting the tube scratched from the case .....

Awesome mod. But seriously, the Dfi cables are ugly, spoil the whole thing.

Off topic:

If you want Akasa Paxmate, I know Overclockers Paradise sell those in Lowyat. Not cheap though. Personally I am using it and it hardly muffles the sound.

You can try Dynamat extreme but it is rather expensive though for that.

Dampening material only works well if it's heavy and thick. The thin ones rarely make a difference.

The sound insulation material looks like it could generate static, is that possible?

Almost any material can generate static. Even your fingers. The risk of you discharging on your computer components are much higher as opposed to the static generated by those insulation pads. Anyway static is generated if you start rubbing your hands/fingers on the pads. If you don't know anything to them, they are relatively safe.

LOL i had some slight problems with static when I was working with electronic parts in my previous job. I sort of like killed a camcorder set tongue.gif

But of course, my super soldering skills killed about 5 more sets.... sweat.gif

Well i used a lot of flux the last time when I did component soldering. It's definitely needed especially when you try to solve an array of miniature caps and resistors which are about 0.5mm long! doh.gif

Do remember to clean out the flux with alcohol once you completed your soldering. biggrin.gif

There are a few type of flux, some come in a paste form while others may be a little more on the wattery side. I like the paste version, works wonders but when you solder, the thing gives an awful smell. rclxub.gif
