I would like to thank Copie, Rory K, Heatpipe, BarryThePenguin for idea/support/advice you have given me.

So to kick it off, I just brought my new, case.
Coolermaster HAF 932.

Starting Pulling it apart, but i have come to a stop since i don't want to brake the top part. Currently looking on the internet "how to remove parts of haf 932"





More Pictures soon, the camera battery died.

I wouldn't feel bad about it, I went way over that & I still have more to get.

You did well for the fittings, radiator and reservoir you got, it's all good quality stuff that will look good when you've finished.

Thanks ElBeasto.

Quick Update.

Case down to just bay brackets, finding out how to remove them. yay.


Piles of parts from the HAF.


My hardware in a pile, how much i miss you. This E8400 isnt as quick as you.

[ElBeasto]

Don't be dissing the E8400, it's all I have! lol

Are you going to be sleeving the PSU?

I might at a later stage, but at the moment no. It would be great but since i have anxiety, it will be hard. I would probably crack it too many times while trying to sleve it.
Just depends how much it is, really haven't look into it that much.
But now you mention it ill look some prices up.

Lol yeah, seen your posted about it, I think 80 odd dollars is a bit rich atm.
Tomorrow once im done helping my dad in the morning I will paint the case.

Due to my awesome selling with my parts, W/C might be ordered in the next couple of days *fingers crossed*

[Dark_chaos]

So changed my mind on the res, so ill need a new layout idea.
Been so busy today that I didn't have time to paint the case. I might be able to do it once I've had dinner.

Because i can't read "In Stock Meters" getting the graphics card block is going to take longer, since no ETA.

Question now is, Whats the difference between:
EK-FC 5870 Nickel-plated
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?...ducts_id=12748
EK-FC 5870 Plexi
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?...ducts_id=12736

I would assume the Plexi is going to get a little more hotter then the Nickel plated. And that the Nickel looks twice as good.

[zeropluszero]

copper's lame.
nickel ftw.

[Rory K]

There should be absolutely no temperature difference. Choose the one you like the look of.

[ElBeasto]

I vote for nickel too, I'm not keen at all on the copper coloured blocks...

Nickle looks god damn awesome, Copper just seems a little cheap looking to me.

Thanks for that Rory K, i was looking everywhere to see a bench mark. Only ones i could find were the Nickle and Acetal.
