I wasn't so sure as to where this goes, as its not really 'spammage' but its not really a technical queiry.

Anyway, this is one of my other past times apart from playing COD.

Well its not so much that Ive had megaproblems with it (well other than that one leak), I just find it a pain in the ass to work with.

I use it on my everyday/COD PC for quietness, and have been for 4 years sans leaks.

You just have to be careful and thorough! :icon_upyours:

weiner, how much would a set up like that cost?

Weinerlicious
07-01-2008, 09:24 PM
Ummsies... So far all I've paid for is the acrylic, which comes to about £50.


The rest was free :D

how was it free, am i able to get it for free? lol

It was free because I'm universally loved.

I'm still waiting for my 'little' bits to arrive, so this is a slight progress report.

Here is what the case 'sort' of looks like at the moment. I really need to decided on my mobo soonish though as I need to work out the back I/O panel holes etc.

Otherwise, its colour scheme time. What do you prefer?

1. Just UV with Green Tubing and Coolant

2. UV with Blue LEDs and Green Tubing and coolant

http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t233/AJManktelow/DSCF3405.jpg

3. UV with Green LED's, green tubing and coolant.

Thanks. :p

Some progess and some issues today:

Firstly, the Feser Fittings, allthough pretty, are HUGE. So big that they mean I've got to re-design the side panel (I had to anyway) and move the radiator 2mm down towards the back of the case.

The ABS boxes fit in exactly as I wanted them too, the read one, **snugly** between the Fans and the PSU, and infront of the PSU and the case. I've decided that having the DDC out on the bottom of the case would be a better idea. The larger ABS box will be used to hold an Aqua Computer Aquero and various other bits, prehaps a 2.5" HDD for me to put Vista on.

Anywho:

http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t233/AJManktelow/DSCF3425.jpg

Its going to be tight with the tubing, so I'll be using a series of 90* angled Danger Den or Bits-Power G1/4" acrylic 'thingies' to solve the problems.

http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t233/AJManktelow/DSCF3428.jpg

And with a normal ATX Motherboard in. I need to buy an mATX one for the case, and then make the appropriate with holes in the back and the mobo plate.

watch out for that supply they have had problems with them taking out computers looks very good i was gona do one like that but gets way too dirty. If anyone is looking for a case look at the cm690 from coolermaster i have 13 120mm fans in it now all high speed yate loons if anyone know what they are.
Watercooling if done right is quite but its only good for a couple degress lower temp i wanted to do one until i see a buddy take out a brand new $2000 system doing his first water setup i said i will stick alot of fans in my and settle for a lower overclock if need be

Nothing really done today, bar a little problem.

I first fitted the Coolermaster 700W PSU (with love from Specialtech (www.specialtech.co.uk). Its about 10mm shorter than the original test PSU I was using. I know I have to add in the length of the modual connections, but as I will only be using one of the Molex/S-ATA power ports, and one of the PCI-E power ports, it won't be a big problem.

http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t233/AJManktelow/DSCF3445.jpg

It fits in at the back too which is nice.

http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t233/AJManktelow/DSCF3447.jpg

Here is where the problem starts. When I started designing this mod, I didn't intend to use an Aquaero, but now I do and thats one of the reasons for ze box. I didn't factor that in when designing mark two of the res.

http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t233/AJManktelow/DSCF3448.jpg

Ooops. (those scratches are on the outer cover film, so all is well)

Well, I'm not desinging that res all over again :p. Soo, I'm thinking that I'll dremel out part of the back of the box, and then add an Acrylic Danger Den 90* bend (http://www.dangerden.com/store/popup_image.php?type=D&id=302&title=Acrylic%2090%20Housing&area=C) to take it back towards the PSU. Its a little ennoying I know, but I promise it'll look good.

Or. I could just do away with the box on its own, and have the Aquaero 'floating' or the front panel.

Thats a great skill u do there Weinerlicios. I know of a friend at the former DIY-Street forum who does the same thing, building cases, Acrylic/H2O cooling. I built myself a case too to house my watercooling, but not as awesome as your build lol.
