Corsair H50 + Antec 900 Wire Management

[Snuf]

Today a friend of mine stopped by with a gift. He got me the Corsair H50. Since I had to remove my MOBO to uninstall my old HS/FAN, I decided to take my case completely apart and finally do Wire Management at the same time. Here's how it came out:



I had to add a few new holes. The RED circle without a hole has a hole now that was added after the pic for my top fan power wire:

I had to flip my PSU over so the cables would reach to the top of the MOBO. So I had to cut a hole on the bottom of the CASE to allow my PSU to breath:

Here's a bottom view after I put my rubber feet back on:

This is a pic of my CPU. I lapped it about a year ago, figured i'd show it off (For those of you that don't know what lapping is, here's a quick link: http://www.legitreviews.com/article/402/1/):

In this pic you can see the reflection of my iPhone:

And here is the final product with the Corsair H50 installed (I did a PUSH/PULL Config with my fans):

That's it for now.

What grit sandpaper did you stop at for your lapping job?

What grit sandpaper did you stop at for your lapping job?

don't you need to use like 6 different grits??

start at like 400 and work your way up to 2000 grit??

Nice, Im probably gonna Lap my cpu heat sink and maybe my CPU once I order my new case and some new thermal paste.

I have seen people saying to start with 400.... then 1000.... then 1500.... then 2000.... then 3000.... and VIOLA! Of course there is also diamond lapping compounds you can use beyond that

Anyway.... I had to say that you case is smexy.... I had a 900 and the frustration of cable management and too little air flow for the fans in the case is what led me to building my computer into my desk... and I can tell you that the 200mm fan on top of the 900 is CHOKED in that case.... it is like a table top fan out of the case.

It's been awhile since i did it, and I can't find the paper i used. I want to say I used 400, 600, 800, 1200, 2000.

Man, snuf, I wish I could get my setup like yours. I may go to Quakecon this year & talk with some experts bout getting my setup a lil cleaner so that there will be greater airflow.
