Red and Black themed once again as 4.0 was but we are going with MATX setup this time.

EVGA X58 Micro
I7 920 D0
6gb Crucial DDR3 1066
4870x2 atm
NZXT Rogue
All Cables will be sleeved in red and black.

Pics of board, and pics of case coming soon.

Plans.

Remove the pos plastic top from the case and put meshed aluminum.
make some heat spreaders (idea, not sure if im going to do it)
5 x white/red 120 mm fans
RED led's galore (i hope)

A question for someone.

I picked up 1/4th heat shrink from frys today and i was testing on some extra wire i had laying around. When i put the sleeve around the cable, then the shrink, it didn't fit snug

is 1/4 the wrong size? if it is, what do i need? i found 3:1 1/4th is that what i need? i think i got 2:1

Nobody Knows on the sleeving!

Kantastic · Feb 8, 2010

You're not going for the MDCP-X sleeving? Then check out NZXT's new sleeved black cable extensions on Newegg.

freaksavior · Feb 8, 2010

Nope, bought some already. i just need to know on heat shrink. Plus, Im going red and black, those are just black.

freaksavior · Feb 8, 2010

Small update with major setback. my case arrived but it being the wrong one so this is on hold.

I was pretty pissed yesterday when UPS showed up with the wrong case.

Im not really sure what all im going to do with it since i haven't really seen this case before. it just fits what i want it for.

craigbru · Feb 10, 2010

Well, the case is pretty solid, although on the large side for mATX. You may not have much for plans now, but you will definitely have the room to get creative if you want to.

freaksavior · Feb 10, 2010

I really like what you did with the fan controller. How hard was that?

craigbru · Feb 10, 2010

It wasn't that difficult. I pulled the aluminum panel off the front of the controller, and used it as a template. The most critical part was in ensuring the holes were drilled correctly. Once drilled, the controller was set in place and clearances were checked. There was some of the case behind the front face that had to be cut away to accommodate the controllers heatsinks and connections. I just took my time, and checked clearances every chance I got. Everything lined up nicely in the end.

freaksavior · Feb 10, 2010

I may steal that idea from you. i like it

craigbru · Feb 10, 2010

Go for it man! If you need further help, you know how to find me. (Either here or at Losias.)

freaksavior · Feb 10, 2010

will the door still fit with the fan controller modded like that?

craigbru · Feb 10, 2010

Yes, the door fits with no interference at all.

freaksavior · Feb 10, 2010

is 1/4" the right heat shrink size for the 1/8" sleeve?

Also, would i be better off buying http://www.frozencpu.com/products/1...PCI_EPS_Connector_Pins_-_Female_-_4_Pack.html to make my cables shorter, or just cut and solder?

craigbru · Feb 10, 2010

Yes, 1/4" usually has a 2/1, or 3/1 shrink ratio which works well with 1/8" sleeving. If the wire to be covered is very small, then sometimes you can get away with 1/8" shrink, but it's not always the case.

I used those pins with a crimp tool, and it worked well. Cutting and soldering works well too, so it's just a matter of personal preference.

Thrackan · Feb 10, 2010

Rogue mod, gotta watch it

freaksavior · Feb 11, 2010

I cannot seem to find the Zalman and the psu modding kit in stock at the same place.

That doesn't explain how you got it to fit...

Thrackan · Feb 11, 2010

And ordering from 2 places sucks obviously...

I'm getting a new case this weekend, so I might keep the Rogue for some modding

freaksavior · Feb 11, 2010

Yes it does. Newegg wants $37 + 6 shipping for the black one and $36 + free shipping on silver. Directron has the modding kit though which is local.

Huh, maybe I didn't get pictures of the area behind the controller...

I won't have time until Monday, but if you are a little patient, I can pull the controller off and show you the area behind there. (The case is disassembled as I'm not using it now...)
