they are nice tools. your misses got you a nice gift

I'd tell ya what else she got me or well did for me but the post would get removed.

Picked up a few fans over the last few days ( thanks for the 120mm Denty ). Did some strict cable management and sleeved a few more cables with UV Blue sleeving. Today I pick up an Asus P5B motherboard and an E8400 and 2GB of ram.

Tonight I am going to put in the rest of the hardware and wire it up. Photos to come.

Have you found a good source for UV cathodes or leds in HRM? You've inspired me...

Picked up the board and took some time to remove the stock North Bridge heatsink. Then attached the Zalman NB cooler. A little more flashy and better heat dissapation.

Next, sleeved the stock HSF. The thermalright cooler is huge. It will fit in the case, but I would need to figure out how to keep the fan grill on the side panel with no fan to screw it into. For now to get windows installed, stock hsf.

I didnt tidy any wires or anything yet, just fired it up to get Windows on as tomorrow when I pick up the back I/O plate, I will be running cables and doing things right and hopefully making some cables dissapear.

So more photos to come as things get tidied up and wire tied.

Seeing as the stock cooler is retarded ( and not in a good way) I figured I would slap on the massive Thermalright, sporting two Silverstone high cfm 120mm's.

I screwed the motherboard in place and checked out the side panel, looks like the 80mm on the door will fit along side - yay

Now time is going to be spent wiring and making the build as tidy as possible - as wires are now in a helter skelter looking deal. Not to mention finding a mounting place for the second UV cold cathode.

Final build shots to come a litte later when complete.

That's a stupid big cooler, and I know my stupid big coolers!

With these final shots I bid Project Enermax complete!

All I have to do now is the installed and configuration of the OS, programs , updates etc. I will post back the temps with the thermalright too when I get PC Probe installed.

EDIT: I have mounted the HDD in a floppy bay and the hdd pushes in pretty much to the very front of the case, so less of the hdd is sticking out and the case gets full on air from the front mounted 120mm. Cool air blows along the bottom of the hdd keeping things cool.

A few shots with the flash turned off.

You know, you haven't even posted the specs here, what it's going to be used for/sold. Awesome job though JJ, very impressive, where's the UV effects?

When I get off work today I will post up the specs and what not. The temps are good but it was reporting an unusually high motherboard temp of ~46. So I may have to put the stock NB cooler back on and see if that makes a difference.

The UV effects can be seen but are a little drowned out by the LED 80mm's. If you are looking right in the case you can see the blue cables glowing which is nice.

I will see if I can get a decent photo of the effect tonight after work,

Now to answer Phonix's question..

(in case you hadn't guessed lol) Enermax case
Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 Stock @ 3.0Ghz
ThermalRight CPU cooler w/2 Silverstone 120mm fans( made variable speed )
Asus P5B Motherboard
2 Gig of DDR2
LG DVD Burner
360G HDD
ATI X1650 ( yeah I know but its better than onboard)
Coolermaster 500w PSU.
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

Hope the photos show the blue glow.

Intel... Thermalright... what is the world coming too

2 fans on a T.R.U.E is probably overkill for a dual core.

Agreed but when I bought it, two fans and the bracket came with - so I installed it.
