your gonna put a UV processor in there right?

aCid888* · Feb 6, 2009

Gotta love the DFI boards under UV light, especially after smoking. :roll:

Edit: can I have your rig fit? lol

DanishDevil · Feb 11, 2009

Little update. Well, not so little.

The phrase "perfect fit" comes to mind...

Fitseries3 · Feb 11, 2009

does the pcie cable plug in right?

DanishDevil · Feb 11, 2009

I'd have to run them down towards the back and under the card.

It blocks the first of two HDD bays in that cage, though. But I don't need that many HDD's anyway.

EnergyFX · Feb 11, 2009

Hah... that's about how tight my vid cards are in my main rig. Although I think you may have me beat. I think I have about 2 or 3 mm of clearance between the back of the vid and the fan grill on the heat exchanger.

At least it fits though... right!!

DanishDevil · Feb 11, 2009

Well you can always take that drive bay out, which I will probably do anyway for a 120mm fan and maybe a radiator

JrRacinFan · Feb 11, 2009

Holy crap DD! Talking about a close call! You may want to look into some 5.25" to 3.5" mounts for hdd's and pull the cage.

Good thinking Dude!

By the way DD, so far looking great! Subscribed.

DanishDevil · Feb 11, 2009

I actually don't need that HDD cage at all. Right now all I have is a single HDD, and the upper cage holds three, while the lower holds two, with dual 5.25 bays down below.

I want to get some mounts for the drives and put them down below eventually to make room for a dual 120 or 140 radiator (if it will fit). For now, I'm thinking of a few more drives, but not more than 5 for sure.

for some reason, I love P182's!

DanishDevil · Feb 11, 2009

Remember this isn't a P182 though

P180

looks the same, just smaller got thrown off, I guess i love P180's as well, same thing almost just smaller right?

DanishDevil · Feb 11, 2009

It's not a P180. It's a MINI P180.

The P180 was the original Performance 1 release from Antec. It was replaced with its updated version, the P182.

Recently, they came out with the Mini P180, which is more like a Mini P182. This one's Micro ATX and MUCH smaller than your average case

---------------------------------------

Just realized that the ASUS Dark Knight 4870 1GB is a completely non-reference card, including the PCB. I thought it was going to be a reference PCB. Because the VRMs on the 4870s run so hot, a full cover block when watercooling is almost required, and because this is a non-reference card, I may not be able to find one that will be compatible. Any ideas? I may end up selling this for another 4870 who's not going to move onto watercooling.

Ok, now I fully understand. Well the Mini P180 is still awesome! Looks great at least.

Exavier · Feb 11, 2009

just get a gpu only block and some enzos and as long as you have a fan on that baby you'll be just right

it's not as bad as you think, my vrms/vddcs under water (full block) are still at 50-55c idle...they run hot and are rated to do so..I think you'll be fine

DanishDevil · Feb 11, 2009

Well the guy I was going to get a Fuzion GFX2 from said the reason he's selling them is because his got to 125C and shut down while under the Enzo's. It's a shame because the Dark Knight looks so sweet in this setup

JrRacinFan · Feb 11, 2009

DD, you still plannin on watercool? If so how come the talk of the Dark Knight?

DanishDevil · Feb 11, 2009

I plan to watercool soon, I just don't have the money for it right now. I'm still about $50 in the hole because I wasn't expecting so few people buying items. I've had much better luck in the past selling on here

It's really rough selling stuff right now unless you are close to giving it away.

Love the way the project is looking. :toast:

DanishDevil · Feb 11, 2009

Yeah don't I know it. I just sold my Cosmos S and Gigabyte 3D Mars for $140 :shadedshu

crtecha · Feb 13, 2009

DanishDevil · Feb 13, 2009
