Well it took a while (10 hours plus leak testing) but here's some pictures after recasing into the new ThermalTake Armor Tower.  It's not the easiest tower to run wiring in but let me say I LOVE that tower.  The air flow is phenomenal, rear 120mm and 90mm, top 90mm, front 120mm, and a whopping 250mm side fan.  Just from interior air flow I saw a 3C drop in idle temps.  I still have cabling issues, but there's no point in cabling much until you know the transplant went well.

I ran the panel connectors, usb connectors, and floppy cable under the board.  There is no way to run the 24 pin connector on the Ultra 700w under with out dremeling the mobo tray, which isn't happening.  

Here's the side of the Old Ultra Grid case in front of the box for scale, that's one honkin big box.


Front before starting to case it


Side open Before


Back before starting


Top where the Usb, FireWire and audio connectors and top 90mm fan are located


Then it looked like an ominous undertaking so I stopped to play with

One of my grandkids Amaya

Then this is about 3 hours in and I'm thinking maybe just once I can get good clean cabling from the get go


Then I'm thinking maybe not


Then some leak testing after the safe leak testing


This is the same exact loop, I just removed the hoses from the Radiator, drained it, pulled the blocks, dropped one screw and the whole setup comes out of the case intact.


Heres the rear mounted rad conveniently located right in front of the 120mm and 90mm rear exhaust fans


The front with the wings closed after first power up


Wings open after first power up, notice the movable stash tray in the center now, below it is the Sony/TSST sata DVD Burner, Asus Quiet Track CD Burner, 2 hard drives in a 3 hard drive tray behind the 120mm front intake fan, and a floppy on the very bottom.  The Switches on the top are also movable.


Here's a couple of side shots




The fans on this thing are whisper quiet, unless I'm listening for them I don't even notice them.  Some of the surprises I should have known about, the side has a lockable handle, sweet, chassis intrusion detection, sweet, top mounted usb, firewire, and HD audio jacks under a flip up cap, sweet, room to rear mount a triple Radiator and still have access to the power supply, and mobo connector panel priceless.  

To get the rear mount I picked up 4  3 inch screws, 8 washers, and 4 wing nuts, total under 2 bucks.  Removed the rear fan mount, bolted through the fan using a washer so as not to create a pressure point on the plastic of the fan, put a washer on the out side to prevent pressure on the case, then loosely wing nutted it on, screwed onto the Radiator and ran the hoses.  On after thought I would have flipped the radiator over and ran through the bottom expansion slot to reduce the amount of hose.  The cut outs for hoses on the back and my trying to use them gave me brain farts I guess.  First time I drain I'll flip it.

The knockouts would be fine with a dual 120mm radiator but a triple was a little much for it.  Other than that I removed the plastic expansion card holder because the 8800gt was just a little tall for it, and I don't trust a $270 video card to a plastic hold down.

After I recover a bit (messing with this stuff to long at a shot makes my arms go numb from a broken neck and some internal jewelry I got a while back) I'll cable it, get it up on the desk and play with it some.

Nice System and that has to be one of the cutest lil kids I have ever seen heh.

Yeah... what he said!

 Nice build..........;)

 

But I already said that ............ 

 Yea she is a cutie.  Takes a chunk of cute to get me away from an update on my rig.

 

It'd be nicer if ya was to ship that dusty ole Mountain Mods case my way Bio    I got away with this case with out spending the night on the couch, If I hadn't hit the back button on Mountain Mods site they don't make a couch small enough for the dog house.

Finally someone with pictures! (What this area is all about!) I love the Thermaltakes and liquid cooling so I enjoyed this one very much. Thanks!

 NIce. looks like you could easily fit some more rads inside that case as well.
