Custom H2go

[clone38]

Heres my new case that tom has modded for me to start a new build for myself.

Orange powdercoat:drool:

2 X Thermochill PA 120.2 rads and the option to install a 120.1 if needed :drool:

2 loops will be run in it.

1/ Cpu on its own
2/ Mosfet/northbridge and southbridge,maybe the videocard

Mods done by Tom @ Chilled Pc

Top window panel cut out the middle section to make it one big window,was going to fit dark plexi on there but now i think i`ll get some more mesh and maybe fit 2 120mm fans blowing onto the motherboard.

Both side panel have a mesh grill cutout to help with air flo,fitted with dome head black screws.

Rear panel has had the top rear rad barb holes cut bigger so that i can mount the fan inside the case for the rear rad.

On the rear lower 120mm fan hole ive had holes cut to take a 120.1 rad if i feel the need for it.

Power button is being replaced with a black bulgin with orange led ring.

Fans are Ultra Kaze 2000rpm :scared: 38mm and they look the dogs,wires will be braided black.

Had my D5 pump tops modded to take barbs.

Thats it for now.

I would like to thank Tom for the excellent work he has done for me on this case,as its rare that a shop will go above and beyond for their customers like tom has.


Thanks mate ;)

[LogAn'sRun]

maN, I really am beginning to love that case. The more and more I see it, the more I think I should pick one up.

GL with the build and more pics please!!

[clone38]

Hi, does anyone know if any of these heatsinks fit in this case?

-OCZ Vendetta 2
-TRUE
-Thermalright ifx 14
-Noctua NH-U12P

Im planning on ordering an H2GO, but i want to go with an air cooling setup first then change to water cooling, but im not sure if any of these heatsinks will fit. So basically i was thinking about getting a thermalright si 128 se and lapping the base for the moment.

[clone38]

You have 17.8cm from the motherboard tray to the top of the case if that helps.

Small update as im waiting on some mesh coming for the top panel.

Rear rad fitted with the Ultra Kraze 2000s to the inside with black wire grills,had to file the barb holes a bit to get them to match up to the case.

Got some XSPC 1/2" Hose to put in the loops,room is tight in this case as its quite small.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v293/clone38/Picture003-5.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v293/clone38/Picture004-4.jpg

Had to cut up my mose matt to put under both pumps :001_rolleyes:

[heydo6]

i am so liking those pump mods , why isn't the t-line screwed in place like the other one ?

[clone38]

Just trying out things at the moment as room for hose is tight.

[clone38]

Small update got some mesh for the top panel,was going to get plexi but im going with mesh as it will let heat out,had to buy silver as black was not in stock this will be no problem as i can spray it black later :)

Cut 2 holes for the Fillports.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v293/clone38/Picture001-8.jpg

Was toying with the idea to have a 120mm fan mounted in the top panel to blow cool air over the motherboard e.t.c good idea or bad??

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v293/clone38/Picture002-7.jpg

[BlueAqua]

Looking real good. I really like those H2GO cases, such a great idea by Mountain Mods. I love the orange too.

[Canadmos]

I think that top fan blowing out or onto the mother board is a good idea. Is there any way you could mount it without using a filter or cutting that mesh? The mesh looks really good and I think cutting a hole in it or having that filter there would ruin the look. Maybe put a 140mm under there? :D

[clone38]

Im not going to have the fan now as it will spoil the look of the top panel i think,i could mount the fan under the mesh if i wanted,not sure tbh.

[Canadmos]

Good idea on keeping that mesh intact as it is. :up:

[clone38]

Some more work done today :)

Mesh now installed instead of plexi window,and top silver mesh sprayed black to match the rest of the case panels.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v293/clone38/Picture008-3.jpg

Fan filters fitted now and black bulgin with orange led ring :drool:
Had to fill the brive bays with a MM plexi plate to clean up the front.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v293/clone38/Picture007-2.jpg

Rear rad with filters.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v293/clone38/Picture003-7.jpg

I can use my black tygon hose for the build.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v293/clone38/Picture001-9.jpg

Need to save some pennys up to finish.

[Canadmos]

That looks awesome.

I can't wait to see the rest.

[clone38]

Wee update changed the grill`s to Thermochill with mesh on the back sprayed black,also changed the way the lower fans work now to help cool the pumps down the rear blows air in and the front fan sucks air out.

Also fitted some Lian li mesh drive blanking plates.

[systemviper]

Sweet, that's the Mustang SVC color, very rare and super fast....

NICE!

[NoobCake]

WOW, very nice build mate :)

also do you think how the mobo is placed atm, ( the mobo tray ) could it be placed in lined with where how the PSU is mounted atm?

so its like a Horizon but a H2G0 version...

cause i don't know the exact measurements and all

thanks :)

[DarthBeavis]

Clone I <3 u work bro!

[NoobCake]

clone, so you think i can switch the mobo tray around to the back?

[clone38]

No mate cant be done,could ask MM to build you a custom one though.

[NoobCake]

yeah, you think they can change the panels around? without changing any measurements?

btw, i think i didn't make it clear in your pm, so sorry

[Pub_Randy**]

the orange/black combo is hot as.

I like the pump mod too :)

[disruptfam]

lovely build

[NoobCake]

BTW Clone, you know how you mounted your rads in front, could you mount the rad to the case instead of the fans first?

[clone38]

Yep sure can mate.

[NoobCake]

Yep sure can mate.

ohh awesome !!!

thanks, IMO i think that looks better?

also i can't mount a MCR220 straight to the case right?

also what screws did you use to mount those beefy 38mm fans?

[clone38]

You can mount the MCR220 in the case but only one fan will match up to the hole as these case`s are cut to fit thermochill rads,only meens the other fan will hang over the fanhole but thats no biggy.

Fan screw got them from a model shop in the UK.

[NoobCake]

ok thanks for that..

May i ask would you be happy if i did the same to what you did to the front of your H2GO? Im thinking of doing the same thing, love the work there.

Also regarding your grill, AC Ryan say they only fit HW Labs rad and swiftech but how the hell did you get it on thermochills? ALso is that mesh under those grills? did you just put a mesh under there?

:)

[clone38]

Go for it :)
My grills are thermochill as my rads are,mesh was sprayed black and put under the grills.

I had the same thing with my duality,.

and i didn't want to spend $$$$ buying PA 120.3 thermochill
when i already had brand new swiftech 120.3's

My radiators are mounted horizontal

So I mounted the 4 side fans difectly to the blow holes
then i mounted the center with a long bolt thru the fan
and into the radiator like usual.

Worked like a charm.

Also used velcro to help support the radiators,
but just the center mounting was fine

[NoobCake]

Go for it :)
My grills are thermochill as my rads are,mesh was sprayed black and put under the grills.

lol thanks :up:

anyways, if i get it, does that mean i would have to get the thermochill rad grills then? or can i just get these ones and put them on how you did?

BTW More updates on your build please! ;)

[clone38]

Yep they will do :)
Builds stopped at the moment as i need to save me some pennys up :D

lol dam :(

ok do you think the silver H2GO will match black?

im thinking black rad, fans and grills etc and then silver case..

also you think these will fit under the ac ryan fan grill you got?

http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=92&products_id=3402

BTW sorry to crap your thread with my noob questions but i think your the only one who can help me with a H2GO

[clone38]

Silver and black always looks good,them mesh fan grills cut air flo down quite a bit,you can find some mesh like ive done for next to nothing on ebay.

Swiftech= AC ryan grills
Thermochill=Thermochill grills



No worries if you need any help just ask away mate thats what this forum is for :)

lol thanks :)

so you basically bought a piece of mesh then made little wholes where it meets with the radgrill?

so would those mesh thing i linked to will fit under the radgrill like a mesh thing like yours?

THANKS ONCE AGAIN

[clone38]

Update:Pc is now up and running on air cooling for the time being.

Case all done now :)

[clone38]

Going to see what i get out of the cpu on air first :)

[MINIz guy]

Love the orange all over this build. Very pretty!

[vengance_01]

wow after seeing this case I have had my eye on U2-UFO. Its alot of money but I look at it this way, I will never need a new case again as long as ATX is still the standard.:)

[clone38]

I said that 3 MM cases ago :D

[vengance_01]

I said that 3 MM cases ago :D Well I am still a poor college student:) So 1 will be enough for a while =)

[Colossous]

Top job Jo :up:
Whens the waterworks going in ? :cool:

[disruptfam]

fantastic build i love that colour and case

[clone38]

Thanks :)

Watercooling in a few weeks going to have to get used to this DFI board first as the bios has loads of tweaks in it that need doing.

[NoobCake]

looking forward to it :)

anyways, do you there is some sort of bay cover for the dvd/cd drives that will fit H2GO?

something like this: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=6559
