[UPDATE] - New Motherboard and Sleeving done

After a long wait and frustration with a dead motherboard and no receipt i have decided to just purchase a new board. Its the same EVGA X58 4xsli board which is around $450 nowadays.

I have a more official post possibly tomorrow with some pics of the sleeving work i have started.

With a advancements and achievements come losses and pain in the asses. I ended up melting some of the front plastic of the case when a bare light bulb lamp rested on it for to long. Was topping of the coolant due to some leeks during the diss/re-assembly . Anyway more on that latter with pics of the sadness.

Tomorrow will be a nicer day for a nice detailed post with pics and possibly some items for sale.

cheers!:toast:

[REAL UPDATE] - Sleeving and Melted front plastic of chassis

So here we have something a little more official with some photo press.

Bad News
While topping up the water in the reservoir i had a lamp without the shade rest against the front of the chassis. Unfortunately it was to late for me to realize the melting plastic smell.
Here is the carnage :




If anyone has any idea where to find a replacement part like the one in the pic or have one for sale please let me know. Its a Cooler Master 932 case. Looking at it straight on, its the strip on the left side.
I'm all ears for ideas even on how to somewhat potentially fix it.


Good News
Now that the bad news is out of the way. Started some sleeving finally.
Got one of the Motherboard ATX cables done. Actually its just and extension because the ones coming out of the PSU just quite aren't long enough.
Did the PCIx power cables as well.





Left To Do

-Now just for one more Motherboard ATX cable and the 24 ugly pin power cable.

-Some of the power cables for the HDDs and the top piece with the power button and usb cables , such and such

-Got black sata cables coming in to give it a nicer look than those standard red ones.

-Touch up the paint job which got lots of scratches during the whole disassembly process.


Current Setup

oh man,. this project is totally messed up. good attempt though.

maybe you can fabricate something in aluminum over the rim of the case so that it covers that part where it melt?
