exposed 8800GTS SSC edition.

there is a green sharpie mark where the gpu was selected from the line for rigorous overclocking. from that line it was picked again to be Super Super Clocked. These Also carry 112 SPU's over the normal 96.

A'la SSC edition.

Soon after it got AS Ceramique

Here are the side panels.

Chassis being hand sanded

I saw no point in taking apart the front cage and painting it. Only time you see it is when the front is off.

right side.

if you look at the picture i said last month you'll see the front part wasn't painted all the way.

so here it is on it's 3rd coat about a week ago.

Here is a better picture of the front fan.

Video card w/ fan blowing on the back side of the gpu. Helps alot.

That one is a 74mm. The Fan is resting on the Bracket screws. not on the PCB itself.


putting it back together after 3rd clear coat.

After this sets up for awhile it's time for a carnuba wax job.

I just ordered a Bunch of Crap. 5.25" LCD screen Controller, another rheobus controller,slot fan,dual 4" red neons for the front intakes and a Athlon X2 6400+ w/ cooler.

[Twigsoffury]

So i got a Lian Li TR-5B

Four thermal probes and three fan speeds i think. Manual or automatic adjustments. aluminum bezel and just about as big of a 5.25" screen you can make. It's semi monochromatic but for 50$ it seems about as good as what I could get outside something that resembles a Car stereo.

I'll post a review with pictures of it in the other department when I get it. I appear to be the first person on the internet to Order one as there are absolutely no pictures besides Retailer pics, no reviews and just about noone saying anything about them. No youtubes. No googles. no toms hardware really or TCBS.

Well hopefully its not crap.

So some new stuff.

I found some nice aluminum 'esk paint. so I took the Front lifting rods apart and painted them. There flat Black on a Stock Vento. I'll do the guiding mechanisim later when I've got the patenice to do it.

The black slit on the back of the rod is where the retention spring goes.

So for the Safety of My fingers and the Fingers of others I got a 120mm Grill for the back fan.I almost caught myself Slippin' one night with those 110v Fans going at about 75% of there speed. I soon decided that It needs a Grill ASAP.

It'll be red like the chassis here in the next few days when it gets warm enough to paint in the basement.

Other things in that picture are the ghetto Cardboard slat test I have going as you can see. It Really reduced My tempatures So I'm going to have to Fashion one out of aluminum,Steel or Plastic. The 74mm Fan also on top of the card helps a crap load. Rests on the bracket screws. I know you'll say "they don't make 74mm fans"

They do for Humidifiers. My kids Grandma might of left it on the carpet so it burned up. But the fans and switches worked. Took out my micrometer measured across the gap. took that measurement and compared it to the bracket on the top. and it'd fit! so there you go.

I have a 75mm fan but it doesn't rest as well on top of the card.

This is what that cardboard slat is for. It's a Jungle down there at the moment. I'm adding fans to those holes. just waiting on the fans.


It's really hard with this case since it's got a Sealed in Motherboard tray. No place to do secret cable stashing. Although i have a card up my sleeve....


Heres a Sorta Top down view in case you were wondering what that sticker said.

home made 110/220V Fan controller.

I'm going to print out a dial and try that as a gauge. I just put some dots on there for now. First dot is my "Quiet mode" that 2nd dot is what i use for video games.

Lol Ta-Da!!1
