PC-V350 should be renamed to cable clutter case :D :



Temperatures :
E5200@stock@idle : 44C
HDD (WD6401AALS): 38C
HD4850&T-Rad2 : 45C

2x9.2cm Noctua are at 34-40% speed (4-5V), according to T-Balancer bigNG.
2x12cm Enermax Magma are at 30% speed (3.8V), according to T-Balancer bigNG.
1xNexus on cooler is at 30% (regulated by Speedfan).

HDD is below DVD drive, cooled by 8cm Noctua @ 1000 RPM (that's why i placed those drive bays with holes & fan filter from PC-A17 here.
 
Theres an option for a second 240mm rad on the other side too.I just need to sleeve the pci-e power lead now,and cut the motherboard tray to run the atx 8pin lead through the back of the board.I thought the rad there is pretty slick myself,some people like it and some dont.Its the best use of the space in this case for the rad i didnt want it external at all,as i go to lans with it occasionally,and not on the top as i plan to get a second 4850 at some point.Having the rad in the top inside would preclude xfire,and agian,i did not want it external.

The advantage of this layout is,i can take the whole cooling system out,without draining it.

Thanks for the comments :) it does look kinda like dna.
 
I also didn't want any of my watercooling gear outside of the case... here's how I stuffed everything in :D

The only wires that are just hanging around are the ones for the fans so I can remove and clean the fans easily.
I'm thinking of getting some red PrimoChill spiral junk to wrap the black water tubes... and I absolutely must do something about the stock cooler for the graphics card, too loud.
I'm just messing around, trying to see which way I like everything.
 
How do you sleeve and heat shrink wrap your cables like that? Do you take off the end connector?
 
@FusionXP
first possibility:
you take of the connectors from your psu:


second possibility:
you buy a extension:
benefit - you do not lose your psu guarantee but you have to hide more cables...








 
MCP and Tremeloes, your stuff looks alot alike. I really like what you guys are doing and may emulate it in one of my builds some day. Awesome work guys.
 
FusionXP:
I personally did what Tremeloes suggested as a "second possibilty"... keeps the warranty in tact and also adds a bit of cable so I can route it how I want to... but yes, either way you will need to remove the end connectors to sleeve it correctly. There are various tools available for this task, but I personally like to make my own tools... a small flat head jewelers screwdriver and some tweezers I filed down work wonders.

Tremeloes:
I like that little critter you made from the sleeving... shows that you have ingenuity :)
 
How are you V1000 guys hiding wires so well and getting the side panel back on? (especially ATX12v 24pin)

I'm not too crazy about modding such a beautiful case but no matter what I do, either a) there's wires in several spots or b) I can't get the frickin' side panel back on because the cables bulge out too far.

You don't have to mod too much... all I did was cut a nice little chunk of metal away from the little lip near the bottom 5.25" bay on the motherboard side to run wires up through. Then I sanded it down for the safety of the wires and, as Emeril would so eloquently put it, BAM! Now all of my wires can run up behind the 5 and a quarter bays and never see the light of day again. I just sleeved my 24 pin and ran it and the gpu's power up through the little hole they provided. The 8 pin motherboard wire comes up through a tasteful little hole right above the power supply itself and plugs in, you can't even see the hole unless you are looking for it. The way I figure it, you're most likely always going to need these spots for cable management... so I kind of see 'em as essential mods that should've have been done for you from the factory. Here's what I ended up with...

I think it's about time to clean my fans and stuff that funky green wire back down in it's hole :rolleyes: stupid green wire.
 
I cut a similar hole out behind the motherboard tray,so the wires will fit through and not restrict the sidepanel.

Kinda like this

I get the same problem and its a pain having to push some weight on just to close it. Gonna have to dremel the pre cut ATX wire hole to make it a little bigger (middle panel divider)
 
My atx wire,front panel,usb and sata all go up behind the motherboard tray through the hole i cut as in the pic above.
 


That my friend is AWESOME. Very clean, that's the exact same setup I want. I've got 2 4850's and a 6400+ i want to WC.

Do you have a worklog I can go off of?
 
@Sandman:

Thanks! Here is a link to my worklog. It might not have as much detail as you would like, so PM me if you have any questions. Linky

I was worried that the 2x120 rad wouldn't be enough, but if you have powerful enough fans (Scythe S-Flex... 1200 rpm I think, very quiet, yet powerful) then it works great.

@anodize:
Yeah, I painted the internal parts myself. I didn't do the whole inside because I wanted the contrast. The paint job is a little dinged up, but for my first time I think I did well, and I'm glad to read that others think I did well, too!

Very very nice JDM...impressive clock on the E8400 for such a tightly packed system with nothing external.

If I had any room left over in my TJ08 I'd consider a similar cooling system, but I'll have to settle for watercooling I guess.

E8600**... It's not that impressive. I've gotten up to 4.98 but 5.0 won't boot. I'm happy with it though.

Better show me some screenie running Prime95 or orthos small ftt @ priority 9 running at least those 4,75Ghz :D
 
Sorry about the shitty picture quality... I don't have my SLR up at school right now.

The wires below the motherboard area are pretty messy, but my main concern was the visible area up above. And it looks much nicer in person. The camera can't capture the black lights very well, they look blue and really bright when they are actually very subtle.

The desk I'm using in my on campus apartment is awful because there is no place to hide the wires except on top and behind all my gear. Fortunately, I'll have a great place next year to enjoy.

The fluid is just Distilled water with Highligher dye and a small amount of biocide.

I hope you like the pictures.
