.. does he hate his son? Who would give that as a gift to anyone D:

It ain't worth repairing that. When you can generally get a cheap, working, 5~7 year old PC with Windows 7, for less than $30. (that PC is even older than that)

I use http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec
 
Its not just for photo's. You can pick which file types to recover and runs on lots of different os'es
 
Good luck with your recovery

I just removed it. For now so dont I need that 5th radiator anyway.
Will replace it with a shadow box for Dreamhack, will see what happens after that. Consept can be found here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Paper-Cut-Shadow-Box/
 
As for crystals, it seems Skeeper will be adding more custom work to this build:

Wait, where does the liquid go after it reaches the rad?
There's only a in tube, I don't see a out tube. Magic?

Ok, so finally an update.
I cleaned up the welds and started to design panels using CAD (cardboard aided design)

The motherboard tray will be mounted off of the back by about 10mm, in order to fit a led strip behind, to make a floating mobo effect. Speaking of mobo tray, I managed to clean up the edges today on the grinder, but there is quite a lot of flex, so I'll have to weld some reinforcement to the back.
 
On another note, I came up with these nifty case feet that I think match the build quite well.

In other news, I'm having some more upgrades coming to my X-carve setup, which I know you guys will like. And I finally got a MIG welder.
That's all for now guys,

I would honestly love a mouse mat like that. That would be really funny and confuse everyone at home
 
"Is he like a video game character or something?"

One more vote for Recuva. It took a while, but it worked like a charm.
 
OP, make sure to load Recuva onto a drive that's not the drive you want to recover from. Use a flash drive or something.

Been thinking about this issue a bit more.  Let Recuva do a full scan of the HDD and take it from there.
 
If Recuva doesn't find anything, there's little point in buying HDDs to recover data onto.  In that case you'd be better off contacting a specialized data recovery firm.
If Recuva does find items, just run to the store and get a 4TB to recover onto.  If you're careful to recover to the right disk, there's zero chance of accidentally overwriting your own files.
If Recuva simply doesn't recognize the drive due to the RAID it is/was in, contact a data recovery firm as well.

this is what I use
really good for recovery

If I remember correctly Recuva worked pretty good 6+ years ago when I was still working in a PC repair shop.

I keep a copy of every file on a separate external drive so this doesn't happen to me... But I've used Data Rescue PC3 before and its worked on "dead" drives where the OS can't read data off of it.

its opinion to a point i'll admit.
 
if amd top gpu scores lower than nvidias (or the other way) thats not "opinion" one GPU is testable better than the other. different games run better on different cards ends up boiling down to "it depends what you want to do"

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

The use of the word  "Murica."
 
It is pronounced  A mer i ca,  America.
Last time I checked it has no other name. Murica is derogatory.
 
(Yes I take it personally, I served and its discouraging to have to see or hear it, disappointing even from US Citizens)

People thinking that they know everything and thinking that you think that you think you know everything.

People how buy Apple devices because they are "Better" and wont listen to you when you give them suggestions 

When your parents try to justify a gaming laptop at the same price of your PC, "because you can sit anywhere you want with it" and "desktops are dying out, laptops are coming in" despite having done no research whatsoever

What really pisses me off is when people demand respect and tolerance but they refuse to respect or tolerate other peoples actions or moral standards 

This. Right. Here. My freaking math teacher does it and it makes me want to kill somebody.

When people say minus instead of subtract. "You have to minus the five from the 7x and then minus that from 8".

My story is a long one but I can safely say my current build was partially a result from high gains in the market done in one day.
I'm a swing trader, who was a former day trader. Long story short, Day Trading was great I loved it, I made much more money than any salary based job I've had in the past, but some things came up and I lost the time iI had to trade full time. Sustained myself, paid the bills just fine and then some with day trading.
Investopedia is a great place to learn about trading in general, I spent many hours there and other sites learning about stock trading. Also went to local Barnes and nobles to read up on trading strategies.
I'm sure you know already that day trading isn't some get rich quick scheme. It's suicide If you get into it with that mindset.
@Vitalius is also another fellow stock trader who knows his shit.

Stocks are very unstable right now so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone right now.
