The cards are now sporting Tweakmonster BGA ram sinks, they were chromed, and seem to fit the auto motif the best of all of the sinks that I had found! I adhered them with Arctic Alumina Thermal adhesive. I used a bit more alumina in the mix to make the epoxy a bit more diluted... should I want to pull them off.

Where are the Flame Shrouds for the Graphic Cards. I suppose you will work them back onto the Build. Love the HD setup. Nice and Neat, hate it when they have excess cabling.

The shrouds will be back. I just had to get hte leaks located and properly taken care of.

I hope to have the shrouds back on in the next day or two.
:)

That first picture... I feel like I'm about to come out of a very long tunnel and going "too bright... it's blinding!!" :D :eek:

I got my shrouds in!!!

Not my final pics, but getting daaaamn close!
;)

Golly Gee TD thats a Badarse case.. :) Hey, whats the word on the Top Panel? You still planning on doing it over? I understand for competitions you want it to be close to perfect as possible. Love how the lights shine up on the inside.
(Psst, LED Pipes whats up?)

Do I ask to many questions are what.. ;) ;)

Light pipes are still comming, I promise!

I still have to get a couple more coats of clear on the side panels to get them nice and smooth...

I might do some accent lighting, but the shrouds filled the dark part of the case that I was worried about... so I am still a bit undecided on that.

I also have another hard drive, a Raptor, that I need to get into there... I have an idea for that , :)

That front air filter screen looks awesome! Dude... if you were to sell that, I'd reckon to price JUST the case to be at least $1000!! Yikes! o_O :eek:

too nice of a job!

Waiting Patiently is hard sometimes, I hope something didn't go drastically wrong.

DOH!
No worries bro! Nothing wrong! I've been cleaning my garage as I got tired of not finding any of my tools! ;)

I am half way done on the cleanup, and will hopefully have some nice glamor shots of the current state of the mod.

I still have not done the light pipes, but I have a *****en plan on the implementation. Just need to talk to some people that have done the circuit I want to build.

Here is a sweet little bit o news.... I lost a bag of smal bitsies taht I needed to help put this rig back together again (another driving force behind cleaning my garage).... I contacted a person at Thermaltake to talk to them about this mod and the parts I am missing (as well as my botched top window), and they just simply shipped me an *entire* Armor to scavenge!!!

Granted it was damaged... but... OMG!!!!! A WHOLE FREAKING CASE TO PULL SPARE PARTS FROM!!?!?!

Thank you ThermalTake! That just ROCKED!!!!!

WoW, that is amazing. They know that its an awesome MOD and it makes their product shine. Props to them for great customer service.

I guess cleaning the garage will help your wife get her kitchen back. LOL

Up to date pics as I promised...

Not done.. but daaaaaaamn close!
;)

Daaaaaaam, Deuce is beautiful. You have done a masterful job with the flames. The way the colors work together, the lighting is awesome especially the white led fans. Can't wait to see how you intergrate the LED Pipes into this already badarse mod. Great Job TD as usual..:) :)

We are not worthy (except for TAZTG)! :eek: Wow...

geez talk about a labour of love, over a year of work and dedication.
very nice! im betting yer mighty proud and well deserved!
