Nice Fathers Day. Daughter took me out for breakfast early enough where I could get back home and finish the install.
First thing I did was try to figure out the best way to mount the Seagate 500G drive. I had an old plastic cd tower that worked perfectly! It fit perfect and allowed me to mount the drive suspended with springs with nippled foam underneath in case it ever 'bottomed' out. It also allowed me to mount a fan that blew the air down 'the channel' which worked great at blowing air on the motherboard also. Couldn't of asked for a better, more efficient setup....
Mounted the cd tower with the drive and fan next to the motherboard.
All done! View from the drivers side
and passenger side
and of course, the car
I threw a quick video together to show the software I using. It's RoadRunner with Digital FX 3.0. You can see it
here.
Over all, I am extremely happy with the setup. Everything looks and works great!
