ODST Legendary

PS is almost ready. I bolted the PS down to the case using screws. Case is almost ready to go on. Need to cut slot for power switch and extend the slot where the cables come out. I will post the completed PS later today...

I rewired the back fans 5v and used a power switch to MB cable to connect them to the PS.

Have a few meetings today, but will become a little free around 6PM...I will work on the back panel and the rest of the fans then.

Still to be done:
- Shield/SMG/Skull front piece
- Etching/Engraving right panel (UNSC logo)
- Cut slots for front IO panel/power switch
- Back panel
- Sanding/priming
- Ordered paint (will get here in about 1 week or so)
- Fans

Very interesting PSU mod.

Thanks! I guess it was because of the power supply I bought...I have seen a lot of other PS mods which, well, had a lot of work to be done on them...in this case, it was almost a straight swap.

Also, there is a ton of space left in the PS enclosure...maybe something can go in there :)

Finished the Power Supply (Finally!)

I moved the on/off switch to the top so I don't need to cut anything in the grill.

Next up, back panel...

That way, if your heatsink falls off, it can quickly hit the switch and save your procy :P :whistler:

LOL...that was good...hopefully, it won't and I still get to :banana:

All work and no play...so I thought I would have myself a laugh with something going around my brain...just randomness ;)

and says to himself when safe:

Good job with the PSU. It should look really clean once it's installed in the case.

Thanks TC, most of the credit goes to you for the PSU modding :D

I started working on the fans and so far the PCI and the front intake fans are done...I will post pics once all fans are ready. I used Technochicken's guide here: http://build-its.blogspot.com/2011/0...c-g5-case.html

Also, I changed the motherboard/CPU combo I thought I was going to use. Instead of my original plan to use AMD, I went out this evening and got me one of the newer Z68 based boards. I am going to use the i5 2500 in it. Pic of the board below:

So, this is going to be an all Intel build :)

More pics later today or early tomorrow (unboxing the MB + Fans)
