[XP1800]

Ok here we go...

Hardware:
Epox 8RDA+
XP2100+ @ XP2700+
512mb TwinMOS pc3200
ATI R9500NP flashed to 9700NP
Chaintech AV-710
Maxtor 60gb
WD 80gb
Enermax 350FMA
Lian-Li PC-60

Here is a shot of the front of the case. I stealthed my Sunbeam fan controller behind a Lian-Li faceplate and dremeled out the filter guard to allow more airflow (can't see). I also have the Lian-Li optical drive covers, that complete the sexiness.


Here is the side of my case, with the AMD Logo and my name drilled into the side of the case door. When I had my LED fan's it used to glow but now I have Panaflo's.




Here are two shots of the inside wiring and hardware. I know the angles are wierd so I will replace these later today with some better shots of my wiring. Pretty good for a 9500, 2 HDD's, and 2 Opticals In these pics, you can also see where I added the second exaust fan under the stock one.




edit: And here are two new shots with another more RAM and an SLK-947/Enermax on the CPU.

Gentlemen,
Meet.....the VapoMAXX. The worlds only triple phase-change machine in one case.
Vapochill LS on the CPU running at -38.5c
Vapochill PE on the northbridge running at -25.0c
Vapochill XE on the GPU running at -18.5c
All three Vapos are wired together so all must be at temp before booting, and any of the three can shut the system down if there is a problem. Both the PE and XE compressors have been MOD`d to run off a Radio Shack external power supply while the chill controls are still run by the computers power supply.All MODs and wiring were done by me including the window kit and changing the color of the LS.
Abit NF7-S (no MODs to any hardware)
XP-M2400 @ 2.85+Ghz
512MB kit OCZ PC3500EL
Gainward FX5900
This system currantly has broken 4 differnt Futuremark 03 bench score with 4 differnt VCs..
Ti200 + Athlon XP
FX5200 + Athlon XP
Ti4600 + Athlon XP
FX5950 + Athlon XP




Results with a FX5900 non ultra, still 200 marks from the record, tweaking in progress...



This system IS for sale.

Best shot of the internal hardware I have (sorry I don't have better, but sister's comp is now down in Irvine, CA and I'm up in Montana). Also make sure and take note that this is pre custom paint job.


Here you can see the combo drive ejected, and also the custom paint job.


Picture with drive closed (and stealthed).


And here's what the window looks like in the dark with the custom engraving lit up by the purple ccfl.


I wish the purple color had turned out better in the pictures. In person it is actually shiny like the rest of the computer.

Well here's my entry. My BioHazard case mod. ALL power cables sleeved and cleaned up. The entire sleeving job was done by me with countless hours of work. Used a combination of green and UV lighting to create a "BioHazard" color scheme with the lighting. Still pending a paint job in the future though. Hope you guys enjoy is as much as I enjoy staring at it when I'm bored.

System specs are all in my sig. She's a scorcher



Painted my drives to match the flat black of the case.

Probably a bit late but what the hay..
