Ok Intel has a mod contest on You Tube
YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Since the mod has to be done and filmed (1 min Video) by Jan 14 I thought to build a tower mod with stuff laying around.
It has to be Intel stuff (Im a AMD Fanboy, lol) so I will be using The Asus mobo DB bought for me at PDX10 and a $38 single core Intel CPU, lol..(no expense will be spared)

I am going to keep it smaller (case is 14" high) here is what Im starting with.
Newegg.com - Rosewill RZS05 BLK Black SGCC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail

I bought it a couple mos ago when I saw it for $19. I thought the idea of the PS in the lower front of the case was pretty cool.

Ok now the Shuttle contest was pretty embarrassing so I am hoping to do better here. (at least I wasent last, thanks Travis)

Here is a shot showing the case and mobo


I am going to use my 2 8600GTs and the Koolance H20 stuff. Single rad in lower front (I only need to cool a 35 watt CPU and the 8600s)and PS mounted where the floppy/Hdds go.

I was thinking of making the Mobo tray from CarbonFiber/Aramid (yellow/black) as well as the I/O panel and maybe the face.


I also was looking at it and will be mounting the 2 Laptop hdds (raid0) behind the mobo tray and doing the hidden wiring thing.

I will be mounting one of my smoothed out fans for an exhaust. I was wondering if I should use a Thermalright cooler for the chipset or borrow a Koolance cooler for it (hint hint Travis)

I have an old PC Power & Cooling 235watt PS in the closet I was thinking of using (LOL, SLI with a 235watt PS)


Any ideas what would look cool?

Mark I would try to give you some ideas but Iam so burnt out from doing chaos stereo and rebuilding firebox that iam so tired I also got 4 computers infront of my desk right now that have to be fixed from neighbors shit I havent even had time to do any gaming in weeks now iam going though with draws...

lol ohwell...

PS That case actually looks pretty cool

well thanks for stopping by...I need to get this finished this week so I am off to the races.

I liked the case (especially for $19). I am thinking once done it should turn a few heads.

Now where did that darn Dremel go to.....

Me likes! where do you get the carbon fiber?


your going to have to come up here and give me a few lessons on wire management!

That would be so fun.
I am cutting out holes in the mobo tray to pass the wires through and allow cooling of the back side of the CPU,Memory,NB- SB.

I also need to make the mounts for the Hdds on the back of the mobo tray.

Once I clean up my crooked ass cuts I am going to lay the CF. Il post a pict of the mobo tray tomorrow. (CF takes a while to cure)

stop stealing from Ultra

Ultra Carbon Fiber ATX Full Tower Case (ULT40072) - $100 Instant Rebate!! - FrozenCPU.com

LOL, only $1299 for an Ultra case? Thats almost as bad as the $800 painted case from Coolermaster...

I dont get what their marketers are thinking..Crazy money from entry to mid level hardware company.

I am especially impressed by the thick alum panel on the front....... NOT!

1,299.99 i think you missed a few hundred dollars!

Here is a shot showing the new DVD rack (2 slots instead of 3) The PS will hang below it above the rad.
