What kind of camera did you use? Pictures seem kinda grainy.

Are you going to try and clean up the wiring?

The first successful build is a good feeling, ya?

Like Cricket said, you may want to bundle and hide some of the wiring. Just run what you can along the rails and such. It'll help with your air flow.

Congrats!

I'm willing to put a small amount of money on that being the camera from a Nokia phone, maybe the N73? That' grainy/blue look is exactly the same effect as I get on mine in poor light. So much for '3.2 megapixel'!

Oh, yeah, and congrats on the successful build Perkster!

yup was happy it worked pretty well right off, got some cable ties and will start to clean it up now i know its working fine, wanted to test it all first.

and yes remarkably it is the N73 phone i used, and was in poor light! amazing knowledge there!

buying a new digital camera soon. when i have tidied the cabling ill add a new pic, cooling should be fine, one fan on the front, one on back, vent on the side, fan on the processor, fan on the GPU, and the exhaust from PSU.

Heh, well that's born out of consistent annoyance with the photos mine produces, so I'd know that blue tint anywhere
