Think everyone will agree with me WE NEED MORE PICS :) Grats on the cards m8 what a cool Grandad.

Hi marti123.......Pics are coming, I had to reorder everything now that its gonna be a ATI system.

Wait, why would you have to reorder everything now that it's going to be an ATI system?

Dang, looking very nice so far. Why do you need that much power though?

You ever think about doing CF'ed 5970's :D you'd need that 750w then :P

Yes sir.......read post #48....will answer your CF question

As I stated in post #48, my Grandpa bought me (2) ASUS 5970's for my b-day....well get this. **Warning about Superbiiz(ewiz.com)** My Grandpa went to ASUS's website to find "where to buy" stores so everything would be legit. Superbiiz was listed so he called them and they said they had (2) in stock. He asked the sales rep. to verify that they did have them and to please check with the warehouse....and they called him back and said YES they are here. So he placed the order.....verified with recept and e-mail.....went to his bank got a cashiers check (because he doesn't like to use credit cards....LOL) and sent it on its way. He placed the the order on the 6th, sent the check out the same day *certified mail* and they received it Mon. the 10th. The check was cashed and cleared Wed. morning by their bank. So...Wed goes by.....Thurs. goes by and Fri. the 14th my Grandpa calls them and says he wants to know what is going on with his order because he hasn't heard a thing......they proceed to tell my Grandpa that those cards are no longer in stock and would he like something elseUNREAL!!!! So after G-pa gives them a "what for" he said just send me a check...you just lost a customer. So my G-pa looked online and called just about everyone that carries ASUS 5970's and they cannot be found. Special order only 2-3 weeks wait. So he purchased (2) XFX 5970's from mwave and they will be here 2morrow. Not good ewiz.com......not good. Nice way to sell someones products right out from under them. I don't know why ASUS 5970's are so hard to come by, but all is ok now. XFX is a good company. More to come.................

My 5970's came today so its a happy day!!! I pretty much have everything now for the build....I was stalled until my cards came because I needed exact measurements for cables etc. So let the work commence and I will most likely be revealing my "secret" of the mod hopefully within a week or so. Here are PICS and a list of my hardware(new stuff is in bold text)::::::Crosshair IV, AMD X6 1090T, 8GB Corsair Dominator GT, Muskin 128 GB SSD, W.D V.R 300GB, W.D V.R 150GB, W.D 1TB Black, EVGA 9800GT S.C(Physx), (2) XFX 5970 B.E, Corsair HX1000, Corsair TX750, Logitech Illuminated K.B, M.S Sidewinder Mouse...............more to come

Wow  BIG TOYS!!!!

I find it pretty interesting that they had no problem cashing your Grandfather's check but did not even bother to call him to tell him what was going on; crooks I say. Those parts just chilling there are looking mighty fine.

Hey Clergy......no, they didn't have a problem cashing the check did they..........what REALLY gets me is my G-pa placed the order and received a electronic receipt and confirmation via e-mail(in my eyes that is securing those items in your cart). Am I wrong there? And then they go and sell BOTH of them to someone else out from under us.....****? Needless to say ewiz.com has lost my G-pa and me as customers because that is just POOR customer service. Im still trying to wrap that whole ordeal around my head...

Hey after hearing this I will gladly avoid ewiz.com. The reason you can't wrap your head around it is because it is just flat out wrong, there is simply no other way to put it.

Ooo purty looking tv. *steals and runs off with it*

DAng! it makes mine so small!  really nice!

Ok, i'm gonna let the cat out of the bag! That secret picture in the beginning was a Danger Den Water Box Plus Case. This whole project started when I saw the Silverstone Raven 2 case and just LOVED the M.B tray being turned 90 degrees....just made sense to suck cool air from the bottom and exhaust warm out the top. I was just going to buy that case but I could not sell my Cosmos S.........and so the wheels started to turn. I originally was going to cut the M.B tray(i/o panel and all) completely out and turn it 90 degrees, then I saw the Danger Den case and loved the acrylic pieces and that I would not have to cut the whole M.B tray out of the Cosmos S. Don't know if anyone has tried this yet with any other projects(if you know of any please let me know), but I think its turning out pretty well. I did have to make some "adjustments" to my final design, but all in all its coming together nicely. Here are some pics so you can see exactly what i'm doing........more to come

Oh wow that's crazy. I love your keyboard because I have the same one =P

Crazy it is Do you like this keyboard? I havent even opened the box yet.....

Dang, very nice. Now that's giving me ideas for my Cosmos 1000 case =D

Never did like how badly supported graphics cards usually are, especially when you have them watercooled and they don't have the stock cooler helping to support them. Easily removable side panel of the case doesn't hurt when connecting wires either.

Now, I wonder if this is possible to do in a watercooled case... shouldn't be too difficult, I imagine =D
