From Antec to LL (pics inside)

Yesterday i got a beautiful PSU from Frozen CPU. The Ultra Xconnect is unlike all other power supplies. Not only is it already sleaved with UV reactive plastic, it also features removable wires. Why have wires that you don't use clutter up your case. This was such a pretty PSU (yes a PSU can be pretty). The outside case is mirror like. I could easily see my reflection in it. I thought this psu deserved a home that could show it off. And that is where my adventure began.

(I am not a master photographer)

First off a few pics of the PSU.

Next up my current case, Antec 1080AMG. It is a great case, but function comes first with that case.

I bought this PC-65 about 8 months ago. I used this for a little while, then i got sick of all the lights and window.

I wanted this to be really good, so I decided to sleeve the wires that came with my Vantec Nexus.

After a few hours of work here is the finished product.

Later tonight I will get some night shots, with the UV cold cathode on.

I will eventually stealth the front drives. I also want to go back a clean the wires up a bit.

Whoah. I've never seen that PSU before.

That's friggen' sweet!

A few updated night shots.

I went to my local computer shop. I bought some black cooler master fans, but i decided to return them to see what led fans are like. I can always return the green led fans too.

The reason i went with green was, I have seen blue played out so much, especially in my case. I have been looking at hardforums and gruntville to get some different ideas.

I sorta want to start modding, but i am afraid i will mess up. I thought it would be cool to put a window on the top, sorta like those old kingwin cases. (Why did they stop making them? I really liked them. Their current cases are a ripoff of the Pratorians)

I haven't tried oc yet. In my old case i oc'd my barton to 3200+ speeds (200mhz fsb w/ a mulitplier of 11). I would get random shutdowns every once in a while, and who really cares about benchmarking scores.

Looks great, what brand of UV cathodes are you using?

I got a Vantec 12" UV tube and it doesn't do crap to make my UV reactive cables "glow" :mad:

wow! i dont know much about nothing, but that sure does look pretty!

THAT POWER SUPPLY IS AWESOME.

What's the Amps for each rail?

nothing is played oout, what you need is a "theme"

It is a pretty common fan controller. I googled it and found one of the many reviews.

http://www.frostytech.com/articlevie...articleID=1291



Here are my rails:

+5V (4.92V)
+12V (12.34V)
-12V (-12.20V)
-5V (-5.05V)
+5V standby (4.90V)

oops, sorry, i meant to say "not" very knowledgable :)
