I learned a lot on this design... the upcoming green stripe may be yet another exercise for me trying something new and different... we'll see. Each time I pick up...

    So... lots of work done today... Did a lot of cleaning up on my top cut. It was while I was working on that piece, that the realization hit me... I'm still missing my power button frame!!! A bit of quick engineering, and the blessings from my dearly departed father in law, and the inspiration...

    Hehehehe.... nice! The heat generation could likely be reduced by a side by side row of 40mm or 60mm fan placed near the cartridge opening. that would minimize the additional cutting, as there appear to be enough other exhaust points to push some of the heat out. Does the hard drive cover...

    He did not want yellow. I wanted to go with something that was more contrast, but he wanted more of a ghost flame effect... His cast... who am I to impose my will! ;) And yeah, Rob, you go break something and come see me.... I'll hook ya up! I seriously considered putting together business...

    What case?

    The new Coolermaster 690 has been getting a lot of praise from system builders lately. Roomy and well thought out. Also, it is a bit more aggressive in the styling department, but the Tagan/A+ El Diablo case features a 360mm fan on the side and a 240mm intake on the front. Relatively quiet...
