As much fun as the box is, its not really a pc now is it =)
I do enjoy my box, but I've got to admit that the hardware is rather lacking in it. That low resolution really ruins it for me.
On a second note:
I'm pretty sure I've read an article somewhere that stated that penis size was proportional with your pc's power draw.

Playing FPS on PC totally ruined consoles for me. My box is only used as a dvd player now.

If it wasn't for Halo i probably would have sold my two 360's to upgrade my PC.

think that covers everything, will post some photos up shortly, nothing fancy yet until i get my 2 new led fans (and i suck at cable management, some cables just don't want to be hidden, and i onyl just got the led feet with 2 more fans on the way so figured i could tidy up a bit more on monday :P )
pics:
and a closeup of the heatsink because i like how big these things are:
edit: swapped to photobucket, i don't like imgur for thumbnails
erk, 1 sec >.>
yeah, most of the cabling i did today, more specifically most of that crap is actually the led feed (cables from the back switch to the controller then 4 cables to the feet themselves), as i say, hope to tidy them up properly on monday (this is a relatively new build, and as most people will tell you .. cable management, after you've just built the computer, you just can't be arsed sorting the cables for a few week :P )
and finally resized, woo >.>

Pictures of the Elusium during leak testing. You can clearly see now how big this case is with a normal ATX motherboard in it.
When I started filling the system, I thought to myself "this is so loud, what have I gotten myself into". But after bleeding the system, omg, I have to put my ear up next to the D5 to make sure its still running. Sooo quiet and I'm so pleased with it so far. I'll have completed pics and temps up tomorrow as long as everything goes smoothly.
All the text is hyperlinked to the picture of the case.. I dunno how that happened *shrugs*

Get rid of that mitx board and get a real one! oh..wait...
Isn't it a little over the top huge.
When you're going to add the GPU to the loop, you'll stand there "oh fuck, tubes are too short "
I just realized that on the sidepanel of the Elysium you can probably fit in 4 200mm fans if you want to. With modding obviously.
That motherboard does look tiny in that case... needs moar SR-2
I finally got around to tidying up my cable management (except I semi-failed since you can see all the wires jumbled up above the PSU... I'll have to fix that later >_>) I also had to move my 1TB Caviar Black closer to the intake fan as it was running hotter than it normally would (~40C in the back cage... ~33C in the front one)
Also... is there any way to control a case fan so that it varies its speed based on the GPU temperature? (instead of the CPU temperature that it normally goes off of) If I can do that, I can do without the fan controller altogether since all I have plugged into it is the bottom AP141 blowing at my graphics card (potentially soon to be graphics cards )

Looks cleaner than my case does right now. Need to do some more cleaning again. Thought I'd prep up the 5 hot swap bays so I could use them at a later point, so they're all connected and ready for HDDs.
That's when I realized I forgot the bays' screws at home. Which is 850km away from here.
