Everything will be arriving tomorrow.

Side thought: Which version of Windows 7 are you all running? 32-bit (x86) or 64 bit?

[EDIT] Wouldn't you know it: One of the Superclocked 460s I was looking at went on a one-day sale today. It's $5 more than the card I bought. DOH!

 

[Bonecrusher]

Didn't I tell you not to look at the prices again? It's bound to happen lol. I'm running Pro 64-bit, no significant problems here.

 

[TAZTG]

Pro 64, its wonderful..

 

[Devastator]

Ultimate 64 here, runs great.

 

[Bonecrusher]

Seriously? We're taking up 3 slots now?

 

[TAZTG]

Dang, think of going SLI with that card.

 

[Bonecrusher]

In for pics of the goods! Ice?

 

[Iceburgs]

Will take pics while we build tonight.

 

[TAZTG]

Build Done, Icey trying to fix his Hacked OS problem.. System is nice will post Pics tomorrow getting late.. Damn, that's a Sexy Case.

 

[Bonecrusher]

Seriously... he didn't go legit?

 

[Bonecrusher]

Not to hijack or anything, I haven't sized down all the pics I took, but here's a shot of my final build swapped over to the Antec 900.

I'm not trying to steal Taz's thunder. I just wanted to see if I could upload a photo from my phone (I can), and how good it looks. Here is a pic of the finished build.

Pic kinda dark Ice. I will post mine up when I get home.
I really loved that case and especially how we was able to run all the wires.
Boney, looking good. The black paint job turned out good.

 

[Bonecrusher]

Very nice! I still want to get a light source down lower to light mine up more. The front fans don't light up through the HD cages as well as I was hoping.

Looks good though. I'll upload a pic of the wire mess I have hidden behind the other side panel. Fully utilized all the holes I cut out lol.

 

[TAZTG]

Black ICE!

Here are some PICS. Had to upload to COMCAST first. Seems BU having problems uploading files and no they wasn't to big.

WoW, these are after I resized them 50%..
Nice System Ice..

 

[Iceburgs]

"Black Ice". Hmmm. I LIKE it!

 

[Bonecrusher]

There ya go! lol. Nice looking case, lots of room to hide the wires. Very nice job. Now how does it run the games???

 

[Bonecrusher]

Here are some pics for ya:

1. The holes I cut with the dremel. Red is the motherboard outline, blue are the holes I had to cut myself.
2. All the parts stripped off (this was taken obviously AFTER painting)
3. The old Coolermaster Case setup. Never liked it. Messy, flimsy, etc.
4. GTX 295 size comparison
5. One of two HD cages. Inside portion painted silver.

1. The wire mess hiding behind the other side panel (fully utilizing every hole I cut). You can see the heat shrink wrap where I soldered in some wire to make them long enough to reach via the hidden route.
2. The beauty of a clean wiring job. No mess.
3. No flash. Needs more light in there somewhere
4. From the front

 

[TAZTG]

That's some serious Air Flow.. Moving all the wires makes it look nice and clean. Jim, the holes you cut look pretty sharp. Do you have any concerns with them cutting into the wires?
