Baybus...Not in a bay

Inside the case:

I have replaced the Red yingyang with a Mirrored one. And you probably cant tell but there is a home made shroud on the heatsink aswell.

and my Radeon 8500 128meg:

More to come eventually.

Think you could give me a closeup of your shroud? :D

Also, where do you put your computer? (on a desk, or something) I like where you put the BayBus.

Cool, thanks for sticking your camera into your computer for me. You are using foil (aluminum/tin) for that, right? maybe I will try the same. Either way, I KNOW this AX7 is going to rock! :D

Yea, I used the wider, heavy duty stuff. Just folded it over its self a few times and dabed glue i na few places. slid it down and was set. I wraped it around the fan when I was making it to make sure it was snug. :) Not sure if it actually helps or not, but I dont really care. :)

Can you take a picture of another thing for me? :D I guess you don't have to take a picture, but I have a question. How do you have your fan mounted behind your motherboard? You said that really helped. But, would a 15mm fan fit between the motherboad tray and the side panel? When I measure, it doesn't fit. But, I could also mount the fan outside the case, may look tacky, but it provides cooling. What do you think?
