The long awaited Twice 7 case from MountainMods has arrived!
We are taking the time to do a better system build and take more pictures than we had with project: Bob SLay
one and yes i WILL shoot for some better wire management
I will be posting more pics of the system build
**** the RAM, Video card, and Exos are all Temporary I will be putting a water cooled 6800 Ultra, and Corsair DDR 4400 C2Pt (and maybe some corsair Led ram???) I will be posting some new pics soon****
The Exos is being used ATM because we were not able to get of a Koolance Reservoir & Pump, 1kW Series 5.25 Drive bay unit

Just pulled the box's in from the rain! I was surprised by how light they were
We unpacked the box's and set most of the hardware out on the table.
There are 2 80mm Fans holes in the back of the case above the Io plate
Here we have placed a Thermal Take 120mm Radiator in one of the front 120mm holes (It was sitting around)
We also Placed a Koolance 120mm Radiator in the rear 120mm Hole.
Throwing in an Xconnect was not as easy as we had thought, because the cables do not have much flex we were unable to use 2 of the 3.5 inch bays
and the third to bottom drive bay is a little pinched when it comes to extra space.
The motherboard I am working with is an ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe Because I will be overclocking I have places Koolance Ramsinks on the Mosfets and Caps around the CPU to help with Heat Build up on the circuits.
Dropping the motherboard in was very easy, there is lots of room to navigate your hands and position the board so you don't knock off any resistors.
Wiring the components was kind of a pinch as you can see in the picture you run into the drive bays. There is a gap between the drive bays and the Motherboard tray but it takes a bit of snaking to get them through.
* there is a nice gap under the motherboard tray but it doesn't look to appealing to have all your wires pass in front of the board.
The shotty wiring job IMO doesn't look so bad considering it didn't take more than a few minutes and a lack of planing.
To help cool those ramsinks and remove heat from the Memory, Circuits and back of the video card I found this Kool little Motherboard from Koolance.com
it fits Most boards (all of them with a little modding) and can mount a 80mm, 120mm and with luck a 90mm fan
So far this is what she looks like from the top.

Now for the water cooling!
We have a Koolance Dual Hard Drive Hydra Pack
Koolance 120mm Radiator
Koolance 200w CPU block
Koolance 200w Chipset Block
Koolance 200w GPU Block NV-2-L06
Koolance Exos 1 (With Mods)
15Ft of Koolance UV reactive blue 1/4 ID tubing
we attached the Hydra pack to WD 80GB 8mb Sata drive, It was amazingly easy it was pretty much a snap.
we ran the tubing through the IO pate in the back of the case and to the Thermal take radiator in the front (1 tube) and the other tube under the Motherboard tray and up to the Koolance radiator
The tubing than ran from the Koolance radiator in the back to the Koolance Hydra Pack On the sata Drive.
The tubing than went behind the Motherboard tray and around to the Koolance CPU block and back to the Thermal Take Radiator.
On to the Exos!
I reoved the bottom plate of the exos to expose those ugly green tubes someone had mod'd into it... *Cough Chaoserver Cough*
I replaced them with The UV Blue tubing and aad2 Cold Cathode UV lights
And to finish the Build...
The case comes with 3 UV blue acrylic side panels *etched to our designs*
The Laser etching was done by MountainMods.com beautiful! and very very clean

We couldnt do it without them
