I changed the motherboard in the second pc so I could put in a gtx 660 along side my ceton infintv 4

 

Tomorrow I will sand down some areas of the wood and cut out for the motherboard and power supply

RIP. It exploded, noob mistake. Air rises to highest point in system and since not all the air was out, this was the highest point and it since my system was on it heated up the tubing and it exploded. I had to replace the motherboard and graphics card barcause of this.

post-97032-0-57183800-1430438597_thumb.jpg

 

Replaced the 980

post-97032-0-21988300-1430438697_thumb.jpg
