jrock75 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 The photos showed up for me. Looks pretty nice there, good work. Can I just ask, when you hooked the front audio jacks to your Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium card did you have to move the pins around, and if not does everything work ok?

gconnor5455 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Terrfific looking setup AlphaTech, I have a question regarding the WD velociraptor HDDs. They come in various "flavors". Do I need the WD3000HLFS to use the hot swappable trays? Cheers, gconnor5455 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x509 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Beautiful, simply beautiful. What kind of paint did you use for the adapter backs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slamscaper Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Looks spectacular. I can't seem to get enough of this case. By far the best case I've ever owned, and definitely one of the best ever created. Nice job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanG Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 As I have seen on other builds,I still dont get the black sleeving on each and every wire coming out of the power supply.Looks much better as one cable.I been wiring custom bikes for over 20 years and if I ever did that on a bike,I would be fired.And to spend 30 hours on it is really crazy.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneaky Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 noticed your radiator feed return pipes at the top, hmm mines at the bottom, i know these are sealed units, just wondered if there might be an air trap obviously at the top, thats the reason i put my pipes at the bottom.... or do i need to refit my rad, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZMoving Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Can wait to see your new pics! Build looks great so far.... BTW how did you wire up your fans to the controller? Please detail each fan location.... Did you need any extensions or Y's? Assume the H50 pump is hooked to MB, is the fan? or does it go to controller too? Wanting to do same cooling setup and learn from someone who seems to know what they are doing Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZMoving Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Alpha, Notice you're not using the heat pipes to cool the northbridge. How is it being cooled? I noticed because of the sound card in the PCI-1 slot. Can you run this board without using the additionally supplied cooler and not water cooling to those parts? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaTech Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 The systemboard has heatpipes built into the it. The X58 has been moved down to lower right of the board for cooling.
