Sprocket Redux

**clocker** · 11-01-2005, 10:32 PM

More new waterparts on the way...a Swiftech MCP655 pump and a DD Maze 4 chipset block.
With the relocation of the vid card I've been dying to see what adding the NF4 chipset to the loop would do.
Should have the pump by Fri. and the block early next week.

Now I really do have to get busy on the new reservoir.

Clocker sorry if this is like a silly question but I was looking at Sprockets innards

and I've can't see any ribbon connecters in there,have you took em out for aesthetic value or am I missing something?

I believe he's gone the way, of sata, or hid them well, he's always doing that.

See the thick yellow wire to the left of the fan in the picture:

It's a SATA cable:

Sprocket is all SATA, from the five HDDs to the Plextor DVD-RW.
I really dislike IDE cables...too bad I'm going to have to mount the floppy back in, it's too much trouble patching it in to load RAID drivers (and I'm reloading Windows about every three-five days now as I experiment with stripe sizes).

Judging from the horrendous cable-mess I've left exposed I'm surprised (and flattered) that you would think "aesthetic value" was in play yet.
T'will be, but the layout must be finalized first.

Getting close, methinks.

*Got a new Saitek key-lit keyboard coming, too.
Now I can hunt and peck in style.
