Just an update-
It's been up and running since immediately post-last-picture, then new sata cables, a fan controller, Vista Ultimate 64 in RAID 0, blah, blah, blah, I took pictures (it's still kind of a mess inside), but the fucking things are defying my efforts to spin them right-side up in PhotoBucket.
Aaaaaaaargh!
Use imageshack man. It's waay easier and they have a really neat toolbar ;)
You can easily take screenshots or upload multiples from your HDD. I find it better
Okay - as is obvious, some sort of housekeeping (the time-consuming type) is in order...I am toying with the idea of treating the sata cables to a bath in boiling water in an attempt to make them more pliable during installation - smoother bends, dontcha know.
The power cables will need some sort of surgery; some transplanting/grafting is in order.

A view towards the front end - again, she's pretty full, and temp-probe leads from the controller are a bit of a dilemma; maybe I can find a variety of them somewhere to lend to neater routing.
Big hands and failing eyesight are another problem...

A general view of the floor...I may just cover it somehow.

A close-up of the new sata cabling... little bastards are stiff.
I think a hot dip may be just what the doctor ordered.

Never thought I'd abide a picture window, especially when it opens on such a bird's nest.

I'm a sucker for this stuff; it elicits such emotion I can't hold the camera still.

I think any more pic-worthy mods will be a bit slow in coming, as I will have to learn the proper surgical techniques, so.
Ah, Glasshopper.
The learning curve is steep and you are a stout person, plogless will be srow.
I could whip that baby into submission in about 4 hours.
Nah nah nah nah nah!
Looking good J. You don't have to do it all at once you know. Do a little at a time and it'll be done before you know it man ;)

Much to do, I think.
A 6° drop measured from where?Quote:

Must be (I'm not looking at it just now) about three inches or so above the CPU cooling fan.
