and this Thermaltake Kandalf LCS i put threw a lot of mods. like there is nothing like cutting up a brand new $350 + case on day 1. and i have not stop yet.
for starters i cut out the mesh on all of the rear fans to help with air flow. it helps with less restriction against the fan


this is what it look like before any cutting happen.


then i got the extra side door with the 250mm fan in it.i did buy the better fan for it from performance pc. and then i cut some of the mesh to add more air flow threw it.


then on top were the extra USB and fire wire and head phone ports are at. i removed some of the plastic housing to help the top 92mm fan out. since the plastic was more of a restriction then any thing else


i then just not to long ago when i up dated my cooling system and cut this up some more. for the fill port


now the front of the case when the door is open, which held the stock radiator and three 120mm fans. which are now gone. behind the removable filtered 5.25 bay covers. i mounted 2 - 5.25 bay fans with mounts. which i all so removed there mesh for the add air flow and less restriction.



and when i upgraded my system from AMD to a Intel set up. i got to cutting the inside to help me route the cables and such better. just wish i could have stripped it down then. and then painted the interior then with gloss black paint. maybe next time lol
as you can see in this photo there is one hole filled up.

there is 2 more that do not show up. the 2nd hole is top left corner were the cables for the UV CCT lights are ran threw to the back to help hide them. and the 3rd is down botoom right were the pump sits at. not to bad uh? for some one that has never been to school for this. and i have been messing with pc for only 5 yrs so far. the next stop is the switch panel i made up for the CCT lights. which i had to make since before i had these switches mounted and pl,aced every were. now they are all in 1 spot and easy to get at.


then after that was done i moved on to a device which i find very handy. it is from Aero cool, it is a 3 zone temp and fan controller with a 55 - 1 digital card reader. which is really nice since i can monitor the temp of 3 devices, such as the north bridge and the pwm. and the card reader i can put the card out of my cell right into it with out a adapter. real handy.


then i replaced the stock cooler on the EVGA 8800gtx 768mb pci-e gfx card with a Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme 8800 cooler. i like it a lot. this is what my 8800 look before

now after a 1hr or so .


now the H2O set up:
i removed the stock system which was barely adequate for the job beside restrictive lol. i all so had no choice the stock pump going on 3 yrs old. was showing signs of aging. it is a good thing that i did just after i removed the pump the wire for it came apart. that would not have been a good thing ya know. i went and got mostly Swift tech parts but the cpu block. which i am still using the DangerDen TDX block for the 775 socket system.

radiator = MCR22O-QP Res
pump = MCP655-B with out speed controller
Swift tech rad box, had to modify it to work
Swift tech high flow 1/2" barbs
Tygon R-3603 1/2" ID 3/4" OD tubing

which is what i got now. i have add some little things here and there but the looks mostly. but now these last few photos will be what my rig looks like now.

OMG all those Shots are So Awesome Scavy!!

Your RIG is a work of Art!!

Blue

Adore the Color Scheme!!

thanks Blue i sure try my best. and yeah the color are good. and just think my favorite color is red lol!!

well here is my mouse and keyboard and mouse pad i use now. and i sure do love them a bunch. i have a spare brand new keyboard in case i have troubles with this 1. which i am starting to think is a good thing to do now days. when you get a great deal and if you can do it, do it buy 2. it is nice having a real good back up for what ever you use.

night shot -->

Very nice job Scavy. I wish I had the patience to do work like that. Guess no one would see it if I did though because my Rig is on the floor next to my desk and the wall.

However, I did manage to slap a new GPU cooler on my 9900GTX just recently. I used the BW5000 (Boeing Windstream 5000) GPU Cooler. Man can this thing push the air ....

dam HJ nice 1.. hey that looks like a old 7900gtx 512mb? since i use to have 2 of them and they was both evga. killer cards let me tell ya. but till i got what i have now. which blew both of those right out of the water!! with ease mind ya..

thanks HJ i do try to do the best i can do. no matter what it is. my 1 instructor at the city college would say. if the job is worth doing once, its worth doing it right the 1st time. no matter what the cost.

since there was a lot of other that would say they could not do it right the 1st time, cause they didn't have the cash. lol when they had to do it again, guess what? they had the cash to do it right that time lol.
