Relikar: For the Lady

Yup, 7 more tubes in the cardboard sleeves. I ordered it off Frozen CPU.

Overkill for my girlfriend's pc, but I'll have it for my next build. I just hope Daz has hard acrylic fittings by then so I don't have to order from that states again.

Look what came in the mail ^-^


Test fit went smooth


Bigger gap than I expected!

[Hooded]

That is looking very nice indeed.

[Relikar]

Thanks Hooded.

I should be get getting the PSU and Mobo either tomorrow or friday. Then I get to play the waiting game until I can afford more hardware .

I'm not sure if i want to mount the res right there, or if I want to elivate it a bit and mount it to the rad somehow.

Lookin good Relikar

looks like some fun tubing bends you have ahead of you

[DazMode]

shaping really cool!

[Relikar]

Well, the power supply just arrived and it doesn't fit

Bitfenix says the max PSU length is 160, leaving only 20mm for cables at the back. Unfortunetly, if you're using a modular psu, that 160mm rule does not apply. Looks like I'm going to have to knock out the back of the PSU cage.

You can use motherboard stand off , it will give you more space, like this prodigy

[Relikar]

That's actually a great idea, but I'm not sure I like the looks of that.

You could also consider something like a Lian Li psu extender model PE-01

[Relikar]

I think I have to go with the standoff plan, otherwise the wires will be up tight against the hard drive cage.

[Relikar]

Anybody know where I can order some 6-32 30mm screws with a flat head? I need a flat head to be able to put the filter back in the top of the case with the rad mounted.

[Hooded]

At an Acklands, Brafsco or Fastenal you can buy any type of screw/bolt.
For a few dollars more you can get them at a Home Depot, Lowes, Canadian Tire or a Rona, they have a smaller selection though.

all my screw came from here

they have alllll screw/bolts in many color and type

shiping is not to expensive and fast

but 6-32 30mm will be very hard to find

try 6-32 x 1 1/8 or 6-32 x 1 1/4

[gdesmo]

Yeah, I would try Crappy Tire. I think they are about 6-7 bucks per 100 and will be 1 1/4 long(31mm) If I remember correctly they use a robertson #1 screwdriver for the ones at Crappy Tire.
