Project: Part Crysis

Holy Powerful PSU batman!

mines 850!!! haha, still nice though

the paint looks a bunch better +rep.

Thanks for all the kind words guys!

Yeah, this thing does have a ton of cables. I especially like the abundance of SATA connectors (6), as well as the 4 pci-e plugs, 2 six pins and 2 eight pins for pci-e 2.0 power.

The unit really is very powerfull, the specs show a max load of 825 watts, an 85 percent efficiency (which means it uses most of it's power), and it stays cool and quiet.

As for the paint, yeah, I would have to agree with you there. I am getting my window kit tonight, I have some black gloss trim coming in that I intend to sleeve on there, I need to sleeve one of the floppy power plugs on the PSU itself as well since it will be in plain sight powering the SLI configuration.

Solid work there dude.

Can't wait to see the SLi setup in action

Thanks man!! I can't wait to see the SLI in action either, I will probably be putting a pair of the newer revision 8800GTS in there (the 65nm one scheduled to come out soon).

I got my trim last night, and the install went OK, it was a little tougher than I had hoped it would be. I got all of my wires sleeved, and they look great. I will get some more pics tonight once I clean all the excess caulking off of the window.

one thig i noticed is that your side panels are a little warped/bent up, you planning on reinforcing them or straightnening them somehow?

cool other than that and the front looks very cool

[dexaroni]

Eh, that was a problem I was hoping no one would notice .

I am going to see if I can salvage this one, if not, I intend to order another from Antec and then cut a new hole in it, because this one is just weak as hell, and kinda bent up. Hopefully I can clean it up, if not, I will be replacing it. Luckily, I can still finish the rest of the PC without a side panel

[dexaroni]

I have some updates, a LOT actually. A lot of stuff came in so I got some work done.

First I decided to clean up the window.

I think it looks a lot better now, I bought 5 feet of trim, and it was all wavy and looked like crap, this fixes that problem for sure. It also removed all of the bends and dents. Here is a before and after pic for comparison:

Before:

After:

Next I sleeved the wires in the system, the switch, the SLI power connectors, and the LED lasers. Here are some pics of that:

And of course I had to wire up the switches:

I grabbed a bottle of Fluid XP Phantom Black, my favorite brand of coolant, but I still want to try out Dangerdens PC Chill.

And finally here is the front panel, I haven't applied the carbon fiber, so this is NOT the final look. But what you do see here is the finished layout and shape.

I ordered a Sound Blaster Xfi Fatal1ty Pro edition, so I can't wait to get that and take a look at it.

I'll update the thread when the carbon fiber and sound card arrive!

[dexaroni]

Teh Carbon Fiber vinyl came in today. I got it from rally graphics. Really good price and speedy shipping.

Here is a picture of the vinyl itself, really nice stuff, should look great!

[dexaroni]

Does nobody care about Part Crysis anymore?

WELL START CARING... because I present to you...

Some carbon fiber crap.

Check it.

I think it turned out pretty good... what do you think?

[The boy 4rm oz]

Yeah it did turn out pretty good. I was wondering what you were gonna use the carbon for , and what you were going to do to the front due to it being all scratched.
