Well one video card is not going online, yet.. Why?

The Thermaltake 2.0 Pro cooler decided to start leaking water, at the swivel joint...

I don't know if this can be fixed or not, short of buying a different cooler.

If not, there went about $50.00...

Edit: I emailed Thermaltake on this and I've got a few pics.

An EVGA GTX580 BlackOps card with the Tt Water 2.0 Pro...



Definitely water there

I did do more than the video card, that doesn't leak, I rearranged the cases psu and the Antec 620 radiator, finding an Antec 920 for less than $100, it's going to be a while for one card. But on with the pics, I found out that I have to use a drive bay for a power cord, since the pass thru ports are too small for a 12awg power cord.

A shorter 180mm psu and I could have 2 Radiators in the bottom of this case.

A right angle 8ft 12awg C19 to C20 extension cable will set Me back $33.92.

I did find a cord that has a right angle connector in 12awg, then the cord has to routed out the back through the hole where the psu had been located at, I have a vented plate to cover the hole with, but to use it, I'd need a hole cut for the external cord.

I still can't find a plate to close up the rectangular hole where the power cord for the forward psu location, since the the forward ports are not able to accommodate the larger type cord.

The stock psu cable sticks out too far to put on the lower front cover.

A lot more room than with a rear mounted psu.

On Wednesday in the morning when it's cooler, I'm going to install both the primary card, a PNY LC GTX580 and the Coolermaster Glacer 240L cpu cooler in the top of the case.

I've installed the Cooler Master Glacer 240L cpu cooler and the PNY LC GTX580 video card as the primary card, I need to buy a C19-C20 extension cord with a right angle connector on one end and 2 Phobya fan splitters(each can handle 6 fans) to connect all My fans to power, plus the 2 brackets for the Zotac GTX580 Infinity, which will fit just below the PNY, the PNY has 4 long screws, It was driving Me up the wall(not literally), turns out the washers that came with the PNY card were in the way, I removed the washers and the whole thing is now mounted properly, I had to put the case on the floor to do this. On Wednesday I'll try and install the block on the cpu and do some wire cleanup(the two fan cables under the Glacer).
