    :eek: Please, please change the ply. Being a chippie myself it turns me off to see such a beautiful piece of equipment ruined by a 1 euro piece of plywood. Pick up a piece of oak, cherry or ash etc. Not that expensive and finishes much better than ply. Send us a template n i'll prepare somethin for ya m8.

    Well done on everythin else tho. Lookin deadly. :D

    All my WC gear arrived today from alphacool so got to work doing a quick install for leak testing.. so far so good, perfect seal all round... Still, i have my doubts as to weather my mobo is gonna fit as the barbs from the rad n HD cooler will sit very close to it..

    Anyways, here's some pics..

While thats doing i'm gonna give the case internals a couple more coats of paint n then try n find some money to buy gear to put in the thing :-/

  • Registered Users Posts: 4,227 ✭✭✭awhir


    whats the story with this ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,828 ✭✭✭unklerosco


    Not much.... I moved out of my folks place so have no space to work, got quite ill as I was nearly finished it and didn't touch it for 6 months. I still have the case and that in storage. When I eventually get my own place(renting at the mo) I plan to get stuck into it and get it finished. Would like to have it as a HTPC, so its on show. If nothing else it will go down as possibly the slowest mod in history....
