If one has the money then I suspect a shop with a tracing machine could cut the panels.

This is the chassis I have on order Lian-Li PC-P80 Armorsuit.

Well let me tell you.

First I was doing ok. Then I was INCREDIBLY PISSED.

I got a new Stancor glow plug relay and went to install it. So the batteries on my truck are pretty well shot. I went to put a charger on the truck. No power from the outlets. Ok. Brought the charger back over to the shop and got jumper cables. Jumped the truck off Pinkie (embarrassing to say the least)

Got the truck partway in the shop. I swapped the Stancor in for what I thought was the GPR. Then I realized it wasn't the GPR. So I went to reinstall the old part, but I'd stripped a nut on the GPR and that was being a bugger. Then I went to reinstall what I'd taken out when I thought it was the GPR. Then I torqued down the nut on that too hard and shattered the casing on it. That got me even more pissed. At that point I just got the truck all the way out of the shop (it was half in half out before and there wasnt enough room to go all the way in)(no perverted comments, guys) and locked up.

Now I'm doing ok since I asked in the 7.3 forums and it was just the AIH relay. Now I know I can just rip out all the wires that went to that relay and get rid of it all since I already deleted the AIH itself.

Hi there Sean:

From what I've learned so far about my computer build, the motherboard's northbridge waterblock, as factory equipped by Gigabyte, is aluminum, and I suspect (but have yet to hear back) that the DDR water blocks from Koolance are also aluminum.

So I'll have a aluminum radiator to serve them.

Now, the BFG video cards come factory equipped with copper waterblocks, and the EnzoTech Luna Rev. A CPU cooler I bought is copper too (by purpose on account of the BFG video card), so I guess I'll have a second radiator serving this independent cooling loop.

This will make for some interesting plumbing.

I'm thinking I'll have the aluminum radiator circuit entirely within the PC chassis.

And I'll have the copper radiator as a remote setup with an Eheim (VAC) pump handling the heavier heat load of the CPU and video card.

Yea. Fortunately there's no real damage done.

I deleted the actual AIH already so now I'm just ditching the rest of the system. What I shattered was the AIH relay. And I am able to get another nut on the stancor above the stripped one to sandwich a connector in there.
