Mike was kidding about the phaser Alan

No I wasn't.

Bill you have to go ruin everything!

You have to admit it would add a new dimension to PC hardware.

You can't put a phaser array on a laptop or iPud.

Killer air flow though your rig Wordsworth !

It cools real well especially compared to the old case; there's another Noctua for exhaust in the top back drive bay as well; takes any remaining rising heat on out.

LOL (literally) on some of our comments here. But I figure it's all a little cheaper than modding a car or truck, well that's a good excuse to justify it all anyway.

Hmmm, I do need some new tires before winter though, maybe some new wheels would be nice....

A set of four of these should work for us.

Now mounting the phaser array that was a pain in the behind.

Yeah, I had trouble with magnetic container for the anti-matter vessel.

Were using a generator w/flux capacitor for power.

No anti-matter needed.

Wordsworth and I will be collaborating on our "Death Star" version next.

LOL! Yea, I think that will work for this winter, especially if we make up for the lack of one last year.

Watch this year will be a record blizzard.

Screwy weather.

Oh well back to topic.

I have been feeling poorly and needed a good laugh.
It has been enjoyable.
Thanks for allowing this side tracking of the thread.

+1 on the 3 screens, wow didn't notice the tri 27" set up, now that's a wall of monitors !

Need my visual real estate. I'm usually doing 10 things at once, so three screens is wonderful. I don't know how I lived with two for so long

@Britton; Re the PSU; It seems that upside down is the most common way of mounting PSUs on the bottom. I've been told, and read online, that in situations like mine, where I have thick shag carpet, that the way I have it is better, as the carpet may restrict air into the PSU. With cool systems drawing air from inside the case and out through the PSU I feel would not be undesirable. So, thanks for the feedback, but I'm going to leave it the way it is. Seems in a lot of cases to be personal preference.

@Wordsworth.. I wish I could get my wiring that neat. Looks very nice.

Wordsworth · 29 Sep 2012

Thanks TanyaC. It was not neat from day one but a project in continual progress. Cable management can be time consuming, more than we sometimes have for it. I kept buying different cables and trying different routes and tying things together over time. Some of the cables that helped were those for the drives like this. Nothing you can't put together yourself with some sleeving and heatsinking, but buying off the shelf saved time.

That's one flush looking rig you've got there Wordsy. :)

Does that brace not slightly annoy you though? I remember when I was working with the Stacker and the brace where the PSU sits would annoy me like crazy as there was only so much reach and freedom to be had without wanting to rip off the top and attack it from there.

So I've got all the new cases features finally working. These are the issues you find when moving too fast without reading. Trying to figure why my integral 2.5" HDD hot swap bay wasn't working?

Then look at what I found...very odd clicking that suddenly stopped!
