intense! nice!

ow and I know the feeling. Painted my HQ45's insides black too about a year ago. Dust like hell, but who cares, it's beautiful.

Work in progress

Looks like i done my homework very well ... everything fits just nice. I only have to find 1mm to make the floppy sit perfectly in its 'slot'.
There's almost nothing left of the hardcano, the iron holder is cut off and drilled in ... in several places.
The noise is OK. The 120mm makes some noise at 100%, but i'm sitting next to it and it's certainly tolerable. Can't hear the fan at it's lowest level.

sweet

you could get quickly some plastic flower pots to hide the imperfection of the fanholes....

nah, that's ok

industrial style, just as it should be

2 last pics to close the day.
Fitting the CPU temp probe was difficult, had to try at least 30 times before getting it right.
Fitting the mobo was hell, i think the frame took a couple of blows and is like aty or atz in stead of atx. Had to push VERY hard to bolt it down.
Fitting the AX7 was OK, excellent mounting system ... but the spring is quite tense ... i used a shim but i thought i heard a crack during the mounting ... hope the core is still intact.

Now only the back- and side plate, hiding all the wiring, installing the OS and i'm all set.

try booting the PC first maybe, so that you still have time to fetch a new CPU

Diagnostic LED function table

0000 : The processor might be damaged or not installed properly

bwa, 98 EUR for a new 1800+ ... it could be worse.
I was already gettin' suspicious because everything was going so well.
