[Case Gallery] No Wires????***New Pics updated***

[Uncle Vinnie]

To view this case mod, go here.



Specs:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600 2.4Ghz, OC to 2.6Ghz
Motherboard: Asus Crosshair
Cooling: 4-120mm, 2-80mm fans, CPU-Blue Orb 2
Memory: OCZ 2GB DDR2 800Mhz
Video Card: Ati 1900XTX, OC to 688/792
Harddisk: Western digital 150Gb 10,000rpm
CD/DVD Drive: ho knows (it works)
CRT/LCD Model: 19" Samsung SyncMaster 940bf
Case: Thermaltake Armor
Sound Card: Original Audigy
PSU: Thermaltake TWV 500W
Software: Windows XP

Mods:
2-120mm fans were added to the front blowing air in the case.
On the back of the case a 120mm, and 80mm hole were cut, so the 2 back fans can take the hot air out of the case more easily.
Material used to go in front of the fan so I don't chop up my fingers is basic plastic gutter guard bought at home depot for $3.

ATI 1900XTX mods:
OC to 688/792
Temp before mods at same OC were:
Idle: 52C with fan @ 40%
load: 72C with fan at 100%
Voltage regulator:
Idle: 49C
Load: 67C

After the mods as in the pics, same OC:
Idle: 44C with fan @ 40%
load: 66C with fan at 100%
Voltage regulator:
Idle: 44C
Load: 60C
For something that didn't cost anything, it worked very well, I was very impressed by the results.

Very Awesome! amazing wire job, i love the mod on your video card,how is the plastic gutter guard hooked on to your front fans? thinking of doing something similar

 

[DiabloAzul126]

WTF?! Where'd all your wires go? Heh. awesome management.

 

[new_rez]

That is absolutely sweet! I wish I could get my wires like that! Have you cut holes in the tray behind the motherboard etc?

Oh and 10/10

 

[mullered07]

ZOMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


its a magic pc, no frikin wires damn i hate you, hate you !!!!!

v nice tho one of the only few on here i would actually give a 9/10 as 10/10 is perfect and we all know no one is keep it up soldier

 

[Uncle Vinnie]

Gutter guard is hooked on with staples.

Yes there is 2 holes in behind the motherboard about 2*2 inches big, that's the only way I could get rid of all the wires.

I agree with the guy a few posts above me. I HATE YOU TOO!! Excellent job man!! 9/10 from me. Wiring job is nothing short of amazing looking.

Finally someone got wire management right. Beautiful rig, Excellent job. Home depo also sells perferated metal screening in several patterns for covering heating vents, etc. Brass, copper, aluminum, and steel available, can also be painted.

wow nice job on the custom cooling for the x1900xtx 9/10

 

[mikey8684]

Teach me your ways oh great PC Jedi Master .... lol .... simply awesome job on the cables and I love the modded X1900XTX Super Cooled Edition .... 9 / 10 coz its not sitting in "MY" games room ... lol

 

[WeZaL]

I like what you did with the wires....it looks as though their non-existant. 8 from me

 

[PVTCaboose1337]

That gfx card is really neat... but a little overkill.

 

[KennyT772]

Perfect other then you could use a new cpu cooler...Should have removed the shroud when you cut it so you didnt cut into the funs...but other then that it is perfect. congrats! 10/10

 

[Solaris17]

OMFG werred your wores go?...dude 10/10

 

[Uncle Vinnie]

I've been thinking of a new CPU cooler, however that Cooler is doing it's job cooling the CPU that I haven't bothered with it.
CPU is OC to 2.6Ghz, not a lot but....
Idle temp 29-30C
Load: 48C

Thanks a lot everyone for the compliments.

 

[freaksavior]

Incredible clean!
very nice cable management
9/10

 

[Bokinator]

This sir, is art. 10/10

 

[Thermopylae_480]

I admire clean cases, good work.

 

[DrunkenMafia]

Nice one bruvva!!!! I bit to blue for me but hey, looks sick anyways...

9/10

PS. Love the vcard mod!!! You should probably just cut the whole plastic cover off the heatsink though and mount a 120mm on it... the air from the original fan is probably pushing against the air from the mounted fan. It could be reducing the cooling slightly...

 

[Lu(ky]

very nice..

 

[JC316]

Beyond nice my friend. Incredible job. 10/10.

 

[Wile E]

That is by far, the best wiring job I have ever seen. Not even VooDoo PC approaches this level of neatness. Simply amazing. I think the only thing you could do to make it better are to get a new cpu cooler, and perhaps getting your video cooler mod to look neater (fiberglass, perhaps?) 9/10 from me.

 

[ex_reven]

A damn fine setup like that can only deserve a 10.
The wirework and that gfx mod are just awesome
I think il try that with my cables.

Wowzers! lol 10/10.

The card mod is a great highlight let alone the rest of the awsome set-up.. really makes me want to cut some holes in my case lol but I need longer sata cables.

You gave me courage to have my 1900gt bios oc'ed to highspeed The longer I wait for dx10 the better I think since its new. 660/780 here I come
