evil red htpc

[xr4man]

it's been too long since i updated this.

first thing, i remade the power cable from the psu because i screwed up the sata power connectors.

then put the mobo back in the case and replaced the screws with red anodized allenhead screws.

then i started building the rear intake fans and mounting them. i wanted as much air blowing on my cpu cooler as possible because according to the bios it was running at 50c just sitting there. i found out later by using HWmonitor, that the bios is reading about 20c high. so all this extra cooling i installed probably wasn't necessary at all.

and here they are installed where the original psu was.

next pictures will be the completed money shots.

hmm, i wonder what they would say if i showed up at "glamour shots" with my case asking to get pictures taken? hahahhaah

You say that like overkill is a bad thing.

Seriously though really like the red screws. Adds a little extra detail.
