Ok, well a short while back I mounted a 120mm 190cfm delta on my athlonxp3000+ using a custom made bracket made by a good friend of mine, tho this isnt currently running in my rig anymore until i get a black solid xaserIII side panel from somewhere! Here it is:

I also cut out all the fan grills and fan filter grills on my xaserIII (see relevant thread), swapped out all stock fans for panaflos, smcf2's, tornado etc, removed hdd bays, tidyed cables and recently modded the EL panel section to improve airflow: (n.b: the swirly grills that are visible on my fan filters have since been removed too)

And I cut holes in my motherboard tray to allow cables to be hidden and active cooling for the rear of the cpu socket and northbridge:

None of the mods where that original tho. Sadly i dont have any pics of when i was running dual 500w psu's in there....! The rest of my basic and limited mods can be seen in the modding xaserIII thread.
Come on people what else have you done?

You will hopefuly think my wiring is a sexy job, heres a pic as onyl a few are any good!

That pic shows the inside of my Xaser 3, not very well but it does.

The watercooling setupis alot different now, the interneal wiring has finaly been sorted out, all the lighting has changed aswell.

Nope, it had about 1-2" clearance, but yes the restriction of the side panel was alimiting factor - i took the perspex window outa my side panel and it took my old 3000+ @2.4ghz to 26°c idle/ 29°c....thats better than water cooling, albeit a hellofa lot louder!!! Due to the case filling with dust,a cpu upgrade, and the fact im looking for a solid panel to make a 120mm hole with filter for it , for the moment iv taken the 120mm off. As far as cables go, my temporary setup is looking quite tidy:

helps airflow LOADS!! got my now dead p4 2.8c to 3.4ghz @ 38°c load

ps - duallykickass to keep the thread tidy can you try and avoid double posting - the "edit" button has its uses dude - you can use it to delete your unnecessary posts

Vrykl, What is the clear blue plastic for, the one that is covering the caps surrounding the CPU HSF?

DuallyKickass · May 17, 2004

PROBABLY TO SAVE HIMSELF FROM WHAT I DID AND SNAP A CAPACITOR!
