Project: Centurion | Many pictures

[Razzz]

I will show you some pictures of my the project I´m working on right now.
I have worked on it for about 2weeks and i think it´s time to publish the pictures on an english site too.

The case I´m modifying is a Cooler Master Centurion 534 wich I have polished on the aluminium at the front, as you can se on the pictures. This will be a watercooled system.

Special thanks to:

Nice work, but I can only seen 1/4 of the pics, they take along time to load/don't load at all... Is it just me?

[NickS]

Wow that looks AWESOME man. Keep updating! :D

[SparkyJJO]

All the pics loaded for me but it took forever (5+ minutes. It must be the server they are on or something because each pic is only ~300KB MAX so it shouldn't take that long.

VERY NICE, how did you polish the case like that? One thing I wouldn't like about that though is it would show every single fingerprint :p:

[OV3RCLOCK3R]

That looks very very nice.

More updates please! :D

[Razzz]

Thanks thanks! :D
Hmm. I´ll try to find another server today.

VERY NICE, how did you polish the case like that? One thing I wouldn't like about that though is it would show every single fingerprint :p:

I´d used alot of sandpaper. First i started with 100 - 250 - 400 - 600 - 800 - 1000 and then I used autosol, about 1,5 tubes on this case :D It tooked me about 30h to do this.

More pictures will come probably tomorrow.

[Navig]

Better lap your cpu and heatsink also, or you'll hear no end of it!


Looks awesome! I once polished out some of my hardware, takes a lot of patience and hard work at the elbow! pic. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v363/navig/Acrylic%20clean%20cabling/Shinyplacard.jpg)

[Knapman]

MMmm. Thats looks nice. More pics!:woot:

[Mr. Chuckles]

Personally, I wouldn't sit my RAM on the carpet/rug.... now you're really asking for a ESD! ;)

[iSlash]

What will you do with the drivers? Stelth?

[Razzz]

Thank you all!

What will you do with the drivers? Stelth?

I have been thinking about that but I don´t know how to fix the button...

Personally, I wouldn't sit my RAM on the carpet/rug.... now you're really asking for a ESD! ;)

Hehe, the memory is already dead so it dosn´t matter.

[whoodiestyle]

nice job kept it up

[x-kid]

pictures did take a while but it was worth the wait. nice work!

[Razzz]

Tnx! :toast:

Can´t fint any other server to put the pictures on.

My watercooling system arrived today together with some other stuff.
I´m still missing one Black Ice Pro, but it will probably show up next week together with some memory and my motherboard.

Enjoy:

[Razzz]

[el rolio]

[Razzz]

New updates.

I´v painted the whole case black as you can se on the pictures. A shiny black on the outside and a not so shiny on the inside. The fans allsow got a new silver look on it´s back, hate the white plastic look they have there.

I alllswo started to sleev my Antec 550w and my memory showed up :D

More updates soon.

[serious1]

looks really nice. i can't wait to see the finished product:). how did you remove the hard drive cages on the bottom though? mine are riveted in and i want them out.lol.

[Escobar999]

if there is rivets u can probably just drill them out and take the cage out.

EDIT: nice and shiny!!! i like it. keep it up

[SoulGG]

Advanced Batch Converter:rolleyes:

[Razzz]

I finaly got my last radiator so the project is up and runing again.

[oshox]

Looks great! I can't wait to see how well the PA120.2 fits in the bottom.
I'm hoping to do a build much like this one myself

[Timmay]

Just drill out the rivets.

[Razzz]

Tnx all

New updates.

Due to some scratches on my outside I had to do it all over again.

I cut out some holes for the second radiator at the bottom and fixe the mountings.

I allsow attached the pump on the 5,25" bottom.

[NickS]

Um, problem. You're NEVER supposed to have your inlet facing down, EVER.

[Razzz]

It´s my outlet which face down?

[el rolio]

yea that outlet

[eXa]

yes, so no problem there. Exept it looks like it will be a(two) thight bend from the pump to rad....?

[NickS]

Oops, I was looking at it wrong. Sorry :(

[Razzz]

New update finaly. I started to work on the reservoir today. I will use a "T" at the bottom so this I just to make it easier to fill it up. I put it on the side of the 5,25" so I had to do som modification with case.

wow that's pretty heavy right?

awesome work :toast:

[SP1]

For a G1/4" fitting what size hole do you drill?

[Razzz]

Tnx!

Yes, the computer will get pretty heavy :D

I used 13,5mm for the hole.

[Razzz]

Finnished the reservoir today. Allsow put some wheels on the case.

[Senater_Cache]

sick build man !! wow.

upside down D5 = not so optimal.

[eXa]

as long as inlet doesnt face down u can mount any way u want!
So no problem there!

[smopoim86]

I figured you would have cut the fan grill out of the back of the case. Just to allow for a tad better airflow. Other than that, It looks great. I really like the res.

[Razzz]

Almost done...

whoa! :clap:

[el rolio]

holy :banana::banana::banana::banana: balls

[SparkyJJO]

totally amazing! Nice work on the piping, dang that must have taken a lot of work.

[serious1]

wow that is an excellent job you did there :up: . you have inspired me to mod my centurion now:) .

[smopoim86]

wow, i bet it took a while to get the tubing bent just right. That looks freaking awesome

[Ron 61]

Best Hardcore case mod Ive seen. Skill level for this is beyond most modders. Like looking under the hood of a hot rod. Totally first class.

[Razzz]

Thank you all! Great respond!

Hehe, yes it did take som time, 4h to bend those pipes, and another 4h to put them on, but it was worth it.

The camera I use is so bad so I will put up som new pics next week, after dreamhack.com.

[[XC] moddolicous]

Wow, very nice work. I cant wait to see what it looks like. If I ever get a case that looks half as good as this I'll be very happy.

[Big SturL]

What kind of fittings are those? Plumbing?

[Patriote]

Woaw! Awesome work Dude!

[thespeakerbox]

That's insane!

[crotale]

Great work Rasmus! :thumbsup:

I had the opportunity to see this case live at Dreamhack, and the details of the work is great!

Now we just have to convince him to get a black colored graphics card ;)

[VIctorj]

holy 5h1t!
That's the most amazing mod i have ever seen (those pipes man, they RULE!!!)

Congratulations man!
Keep us posted.

[Snatch]

Amazing. I have never seen WC done with this kind of pipes...

[Razzz]

Thanks all of you!


Now we just have to convince him to get a black colored graphics card ;)

Hehe, It would be perfect with black PCB on the graphiccard. :toast:

I will probobly change to DFI RD600, should have black PCB but orange plastic details.

[H0RM0NE]

I have got to say...That is one of the ULTIMATE H20 cooling creations I've seen. I wish I had half the skill and expertice for an outcome like that...really well done Razzz!!!!!!! wow.

Thanks for sharing.

[SerialSniper]

Very Nice!

[Solarfall]

wow really great build.i really love the pipes.

[bryan_d]

INSANE

That is down right crazy nice work you have put in there. Really shows your efforts. Wow.

Bryan d

PS - wonder how much of a headache it is to take CPU, NB, or GPU when upgrading... or worse... RMA'ing.

[Femto]

Absolutely incredible!

That is freaking awesome, that tubing looks insane!

Great work!

[Nosfer@tu]

Subscribed to ownage wather :p

Btw dident see it at dreamhack :/
Where was it?

[Frank M]

Stunning...
Must've been a lot of work...
Nice job! :clap:

[AllAgainstPaul]

I plan on doing something similar to this and would like to know where you got the fittings for the pipe.

[Big SturL]

You can get those sort of fittings in any plumbing shop.

[Pete]

How the hell do you go about planning the piping....love to do that in V2000B with my 7 loops!!!

[funnyperson1]

Beautiful piping.

[xB0n3s]

Amazing work :toast:

[emir]

cool job, but the case seems like faded. so dark :)

[GAR]

amazing
