The Left Handed Build

[piggin23]

Thanks m8

I've just sat here going through your build from page one to this and wow, what a build. I did make me chuckle at the fact its taken so long to do (if a jobs worth doing etc..) that you have changed so many parts of PC. Still very very impressive stuff.

[piggin23]

Glad you enjoyed the read.
As for time scale, this was always going to take a long time as I changed jobs just after this build began. (less time off)
And changing parts, don't tell Mrs P as she things its all the same equipment

The cabling on the underside of the case is just as neat as the rest of the build





The bottom panel is held on with black 4mm button headed bolts
The feet are attached by screws through the bottom plate





All four feet are attached the same way





The rear panel is attached to the frame with the motherboard section




All the power cables for the fans & pumps come through the cut out in the centre deviding plate




These cables then run up the side of the motherboard panel





They come through the top of the motherboard panel where the fan controllers will be fitted





140mm fans are fitted in the front of the frame with 5mm countersunk screws




Also 140mm fans fitted in the rear





All the braided fan cables come out to the fan controllers & DVD drive





Test fitting of the front panel







As you can imagine, Mrs P is not a happy woman coming home to this

Crikey it's HUGE! Great thread, must be nice almost having it built up after so long?

[piggin23]

Will be nice to have a proper case again & Mrs P will have to find something else to moan about
As for size, the dimensions are very similar to what you would have if you purchased a mountain mods case

I think this build would impress Nikola Tesla. Can't wait to see the finished article.

Thanks, just hope I don't have any sparks when I start this baby up

Had a new CMStorm Trigger keyboard delivered this morning, so thought I would do an update just to ensure it is working

Placed the panel behind the motherboard section so all the power cables are hidden





Attached the PSU to the rear panel & run all the cables into the false panel





Bulk head fitting used to bridge the gap between the rear of the motherboard tray & false panel





Placed the hard drive caddy on the centre divider & attached with bolts from underneath.





Placed sticky velcro discs on the side of the drive caddy so the cover will stay in place.





Placed the cover over the top of the drive caddy so everything is hidden from sight





Top rad fitted with pipe work running down behind the PSU & through the centre divider plate





Once side now completed





I think it looks quite neat but I would say that

Is that three 120x4 rads in there in total? All rigged in push/pull? So 24 fans!?

And I thought I was a nutter with Cunning Plan! (which is still ongoing, btw, just need to put some time and money into finishing it off...)

Looks lovely, but good lord that's a huge case - hate to think what it weighs...

[piggin23]

Yep, 3 rads, 3 pumps & 24 fans (+ all the fans that do the case cooling.)
I think that should keep everything nice & cool

Another update should be along soon
