Insane.

Sides on, psu in, test the fans, Bitspower power hub . . .very nice. It powers 12 fans in my case as well as most of the pumps.

He didn't pay for most of it.

Hence the intel branding.

Ain't life grand ;) BTW . . .love ur avatar!!!

Despite already knowing that, I posted anyway.

6 G's in computer hardware is still insane regardless of who paid for it.

[disruptfam]

insane indeed nice work buddy..

where did you get the bitspower power hub from??

Two different models there.

[H2omg]

Man that's snazzy looking. For my own rigs I usually prefer sleek minimalist designs, but I love all the colors in this one. Really eye catching, especially the blue sleeving : D

[atomman]

like the fans on the pumps -

I found when I was playing around with mine that the magnets in the pump interfered with the fan and that if I had it too close (like the distance yours are) the fan would cease to operate. I was using a 60mm AMD CPU fan.

Have you seen anything like this? I was also worried that the magnet in the fan would hurt the pumps performance ...

I have not had a problem with it but I am going to rebuild the assemblies with about an inch of space . . .I also had LED fans I will use instead.

I got the hubs from Performance PCs . . .

I cannot disagree . . .but when I have generous sponsors I just cannot refuse such kindness ;) I am afraid if I do not use their stuff (much of it ES) then they might give it to someone who will stick in a beige box . . .

[Kayin]

That's exactly what would happen to it.

Oh wait, or they could give it to me.

[DarthBeavis]

I am sure you get the better stuff anyways . . .probably only top bin stuff 4 u . . .

[SiGfever]

Looks great! What coolant is that?

[Kayin]

I just got a cut rate on my QuadFire setup and a K9A2 Plat V2 before they released the rev to the public. The rest of it comes out of pocket.

While it would be nice to be sponsored, it's still just fine being me too. Sometimes the freedom to just say fsck it and do something different is cool too. I was just joking.

Not being sponsored does mean I have to figure out how to afford those video card blocks, but then again I'm free to use whatever or try and make it myself if I feel up to it as well...

Its all good bud! There certainly is pressure . . .I have three MAJOR builds I have to have done by mid-July not counting having my Skulltrail rig primp and proper and also getting Hellmouth (the Buffy-themed MM cube with phase change and an axe in the top) done by then as well . . .btw . . .I Hellmouth will soon be up for sale . . .QX9650 with TRI-SLI 8800 GTXs and modifed vapochill.

That blue cable sleeving is nice. I tried ACRyan Sleeving but it has a darker blue without UV. I like those light blue. Which type of sleeving did you use ??

[charles_h]

Very nice DB. Looks like its going to weigh a few pounds.

I was just thinking of doing this.

How "stout" does the pump to rad connection feel? Does it flex?
The non-metal connections make me wonder...

[septim]

very nice DB. after the wire management, this should be another awesome rig...

[HaCKs]

Ain't life grand ;) BTW . . .love ur avatar!!!

THanks, an admin made me change it.

can u PM it to me?

[Crankyhobo]

I have to say, using a real human skull would improve the overall aesthetic, perhaps from a small child.
Looking good though :P

Hey Darthbeavis

Are those temp sensors into the tees at the bottom of your radiators?

If so what are they?

[aspire.comptech]

yes they are.

[b@llz0r]

I wanted to get the danger den acetal tee with alphacool G1/4 temp sensors but my supplier told me the sensors were be too long....

[Sparda]

Which type of sleeving did DB use for the wires. Anyone know?:shrug: :shrug:I´m gonna change my fugly dark blue kabel sleeving. That light blue look so nice.

[skinnee]
