Pretty nice man, I'd personally go with a cleaner wiring, but I suppose since you don't have a side window it's not that big of a deal. Looks great regardless!
I just got them parts in there. still have to repack the cables up in the 5.25" bays to get them out of the way.Quote:

Incredible PC man!! Thanks for sharing!
Fixing to gold plate the front cover's guide arms with 24k Gold.
Wow the vento is such a neat looking case. It amazes me the premoded cases you can buy these days. Nice work.
Screwed the landing up on the first heatsink.. haha but its a one shot deal with that thermal tape.
40mm fan blowing on the heatsinks to keep them cool.

Yeah man that's a sweet stock case fo-sho. I really like the look of the intake fans. It reminds me of jet engines. Thanks for posting!
arg! no song credits -.-
what is the name of that song?
Too many fans, and generally too busy for my taste, but its a cool case. i like the red light in the vents:D

Switched the CCFl's so you can see them when you look in the ducts
two fans from AMD stock coolers + VHB up in the top two 5.25" bays behind the fan controller,
It actually works pretty well against sound.
Sexy. The music also goes along with it quite well.
nice rig!thanks for inviting me here dude..ill post mine later.. :)
Yea i seen it, looks amazing & Your inside is way neater then mine is. I'm always changing parts in and out of here every year or so, gave up the uber cable management about 3 complete hardware exchanges ago.Quote:

If i've got time tomorrow i'll clean them cables up and post some "bedroom sheet background" pictures and call it a day.
That foam really does work great as sound insulation, made absolutely no difference on temperatures (didn't get any warmer)
Pimp blue vento again man.
whoooaa!so do you sell your hardwares and buy a new one?im also planning to upgrade a bit on my hardware since that nvidia videocard is way too hot..im also planning to remodify the side panel...but im still searching for the tool to do it..lols!Quote:

XFX was best in aesthetics and in performance..:)
Craigslist, yea 5850 was something like 100$ more then this 5770. and im pretty much holding out on a newer Geforce 400 series once it matures a little bit.Quote:

so sooner or later you'll sell your 5770?there was GTX 480 now..it was recently released here in the philippines.. :)Quote:

anyway very nice cards you got there..liked also that EVGA.. :)
Yea that Evga is a 8800GTS SSC edition with 112 Cores instead of the standard 96 cores.. it's a non + edition 9800GTX in disguise.Quote:

oddly enough the 8800SSC kicks its butt in the older d3d9/dx9 games.
(*powerman 5000 voice* lotsa cables everywhaarr!!1)

wow that is freaking awesome dude!!!
what PSU do you use for your setup dude?you got a lot of fans right there..i think that was cool..:)
Enermax "champion" noisetaker v1.0 600WQuote:

[old pictures]
This is what controls the 110v fans, its a wall dimmer switch
hazzah , wall dimmer ftw.
dude... overkill... i love it
wow that's nice!you give me an idea..dimmer switch..:)
yea works well for 110v fans.Quote:

just nitpicking.. looks like your right ccfl is tweaked a little bit askew. Still think that is a sick case...
Yea i've got to get in there and really secure them to the front intakes, they just sort of sit in there right now so anytime i go and clean the dust off from the computer (attracts dust like a demon) i'll bump those CCFL's sorta on accident, there sitting straight right now but i'm sure i'll bump them again.Quote:

It is weird some people on the internet will think the case is weird or strange. but everyone at lan parties or that comes over and sees it thinks its wickedly cool. and everyone always says "that looks like ____" or "that's seems like its a ____" darth vader,MMT from starwars, vaccum cleaner, space ship, bullet train i've heard some strange ones but everyone always say it looks like anything but a computer
last time i moved the cable guy came and asked if it was a piece of contemporary art.. once i poped the front lid and he saw the CD/DVD rom he knew it was a computer... haha he said " I didn't know they made computers like that"
While its not really super Moded, its a extremely rare case. it'd sorta be like cutting some holes in a Ferrari at this point, i'd just trash the value if i went and cut to many holes into it. besides i personally think its a sweet design as it stands and just wanted to bring its features and stuff out a little bit and make it how i personally wanted it to be.
Thanks for l00king and taking the time to comment
wow !!new updates!cool man..:)
what case is that?the taller one you got there buddy?:)
This? its still the vento, unless your talking about the other thread "Electronic tint gibson"Quote:

Supposed to run on three C cell batteries, but a small resistor and a piece of wire fixed it!
working on rummaging up a relay and a rectifier so it'll blink and fade with the rest of the lights
