....with this Tt Armor Jr.

Mr. Bones didn't like the front ports on the top, so we put them on the front, where they belong.

We also cut out the honeycomb grill in favor of a more traditional look with better airflow. The fans are 120mm Antec Tri-cools.

Improved intake airflow as well. Mr. Bones wants this baby to be as cool and quiet as the grave....

....so we modded in a 4-pot fan controller.

It's a work in progress. More sleeving and wiring, lighting and modding!

Happy New Year, Y'all!

Lookin' good!

Makes me want to mod out my Kandalf a bit with some of that water tubing spiral wrap and a few heat exchangers.

Nice work Joe, loving the tidy job on the fan controller and the frontpannel connectors.

The old pro shows how its meant to be done yet again

Awww, shucks. Thanks guys!

I'm building this for my nephew, and bling is pretty high on his list of wants.
Right now, here's what's going in it:

DFI LanParty UT nF4-D Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 ATX AMD Motherboard (modded for SATA II, improved chipset cooling.)
AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego 2.2GHz 1MB L2 Cache Socket 939 Processor. Thermalright XP-90 cooler with blue LED fan.
Kingmax Hardcore DDR-500 (512 x 2) RAM
BFG Tech BFGR76256GTOCE GeForce 7600GT 256MB
SinTek 500W modular PSU
NEC silver DVD burner model 7170A-0S
Silver floppy
SB Audigy 2 ZS

Nothin fancy, but cheap and good lookin'. Just like I like my women!

Here's the board after mods.

DFI LanParty UT nF4-D modded to SLI and SATA II, with an Evercool VC-RE copper GPU cooler modded for the NF4 chipset. The additional 80mm low speed fan does a great job of cooling the PWMIC 'sinks. The Athlon 3700+ (2.2 GHz) is happily priming away at 2.75 GHz at stock voltage.

I see you have the standard shark tooth and hammer for emergency disassembling. Also, is that a relative of Mr. Bones tied up in wiring at the top left corner of that picture?

Oh yeah. The board looks great! I'm kinda jealous actually. lol
