One on top of other one, and yes they are reversed
yeah theres 2...is there like a place behind the mobo where he runs them to the other side of the HDD? Like does the place where the mobo screws in have a thing behind it for wires to run through? if you know what i mean...haha
i see both the HDs now, and normally they dont produce to much heat, well mine dont anyway. and yeah, all the wires are wired uner the mobo tray.
Yep i would do that, but like said i need the cable to be invisible not just out of the way... say anyone have some invisible paint??
haha...my case aint got a mobo tray...oh well..rounded cables are krunk too
Well my acrylic has nothing but some screws that go out to the mobo... and you can see that...
Hey clocker an idea what would it take to make some ribbon wires that ran inside some plexi walls??? as small as mobo circutry?? what ya think??? I am think that i could have some ribbon small as a dot kinda circuts running power everywhere?!?!? what ya thyink
(this post is not just for clocker i just also want his opinion included...)
:P
Hmm, Cases with wiring in the walls.... Do you just have to plug things into the walls of the case, and plug things in at the other end, interesting.......Quote:

:P
Also Big dawg, he has room between his right hand panel and behind his motherboard plate to run all the wires back there.
There is a pick of the back side showing the running wires, but I cant remember what page of what topic it was on.
That would be really cool if you could overcome two problems...Quote:

1) It would be tough to change things around much so you'd have to be very certain of your current configuration and anticipate future additions/upgrades.
2) You would have to use much better connectors than Molex's...double the number of connections, double the current loss through the connectors.
I hate Molex's anyway...

I've got a can of that, it's yours for $50. Might have a bit of trouble finding it though, I accidentally spilled some down the outside of the can. :lol:

I posted something similar in another thread, although I didn't take it quite as far as circuitry actually embedded in plexi. I think normal UltraATA connectors might be a little too much for that sort of thing, but SATA might be feasible. I suppose the solution would be to have two thin layers. The inner layer could be made in sections of different sizes. Rearranging the order of the sections would allow you to move the connectors up and down to match your motherboard.

Good news boys and girls!
I figured out a way to use two of my uberMuffins after all.
It's been driving me absolutely nuts that I was unable to use these guys, as far as fans go these are the nicest I've ever used, and I've been eying them speculatively for the past two days ( while I've been halfheartedly rewiring my main PSU).
While straightening my workspace up I grabbed the panel that the fans came mounted upon and hark! I had a epiphany ( or perhaps just a senior moment, hard to tell the difference anymore...). A quick look with a ruler and yes, the measurements would work. Or at least it looked close enough to try.
If you'll refer back ( sorry to put you through this) to the original pic I posted showing the fan panel, you'll see that they were arranged in two rows of three with an open space down the middle. Oddly, this open area was not centered...one side was 3/4" wider than the other. The wide side is 7".
Which just so happens to be the width of the rails where our PSUs rest.
And my PSU isn't up there anymore.
Hmmm.....
The fans were 12" apart (outside edge to outside edge) which looked like it would work, so out came the ole jig saw.
Being stainless steel and having a flange on each side, the panel was not happy to be cut, but sheer perserverance and two blades finally convinced it to part.
A test fit proved me correct, dropped in like it was made for it, so I went ahead and mounted my speed controller ( in real life, a wall switch light dimmer from Home Depot) wired it up ( almost all the way) and laid it on the rails.
Much better, but still a bit of vibration or thrumming noise.
Another AHA! moment lead me in the garage, where a little digging around yielded up a 3" length of closed cell foam tubing, usually employed as insulation around exposed water pipes. This has a slit down one side ( so you can slip it over a pipe) and thus clipped right over my two rails. Then I layed the panel on top of this and YES!
No noise except the beautiful sound of vast amounts of whooshing air.
All of my other fans are running on 5v so the loudest fan in the whole case is the stock Zalman HS fan as SpeedFan cycles it up and down.
I can live with this.
Currently Folding at 30-31c ( temp keeps bouncing between the two so it must be close to 30.9 or so) after 1 hour.
All that is left is to cut a hole for the pwer plug recepticle ( I didn't want to go to the trouble before I knew this might work) and finish up the PSU.
I had tried to cut/splice the PSU wires, pretty much knowing all along that I was doing a half-assed job, finally decided to do it the right way and unsolder the wires from the circuit board and then cut them to the proper length and resolder them back in.
It's actually easier than I thought it would be plus it gave me the opportunity to completely eliminate the two extraneous Intel-only cables ( you AMD guys know the ones I'm talking about...I'll bet yours are wrapped up on top of your PSU, aren't they?).
My motherboard power connector ( the big 21 wire beast) is all done, but I have lots of test fitting to get all my power leads to the drives, etc. just right.
Right now I'm just luxuriating in my apparent success ( knock on PCB) and may take the rest of the evening off.
But I'll take some pics first so you won't have read all this for nothing....
So, pics in an hour or so.
