I took pics while i was making the system, once it was tested and assembled, and then while i was cleaning up the massive cable mess i left behind.
The following pics will be in chronological order
Boxes!
excitement!
A friend wanted the window but didnt get it with his, so i got the window version and we swapped panels.
Top ports and X-dock
Front view (theres a lot of these )
Widdle baybee mobo!
Angled shot
The original fan setup - the top fan actually hits the TRUE 120, so i moved it down the bottom, and removed the black fan.
Curse you ram slots, for being so close to the TRUE120!
Due to poor layout, i'm stuck with 2 SATA ports only (why dont they face the OTHER way, so the 90 degree cables go OUT, and not over the other ports? retards!)
Look at me, i'm a soundcard and 5870 and together WE ARE FREAKING HUGE
Top view - you can see my PCI-E 1x E-SATA card in the top slot here
At some point i dissasembled the case to mess with the top fans and put another one here, these are those pics.
You can see how the second top fan will nicely cool the ram
Front with panel removed
Front with panel on
I ended up with two white bladed nexus fans for the top exhausts... they look nice
The mess. it should be noted the fan on the CPU is sucking air, so that it blows into the top exhausts.
Badger badger badger SNAAAAAAKE CABLE SNAAAAKES (oh and some assorted debris, i broke a plastic thingy and it went all over the carpet)
Zip ties make big messes small messes!
My IDE cable-Fu
The reduced cable mess
Side view without panel
Side view WITH panel... looks a lot better IMO.
Final cleaned up shot - i could waste more time on this, but i ran out of zip ties.
