Project: Silverstone TJ-07

[dingdong555]

Hey all =)

NEW WORKLOG IS HERE!!! (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=217289)

This will be my first attempt at liquid cooling, I want to do as little modding required and have the best "look" I can =)

Ok, So my LC parts are currently on their way to me from Jab-Tech (Best support I have seen! :clap:)

This is what I will be using -

Heating :ROTF:
Intel CORE 2 Q6600 2.4Ghz
Asus P5KC - DDR2/DDR3 support
DDR2 2048MB Team Xtreem Dark
GeCube Radeon 4870 GDDR5 512mb
Samsung 750gb
Western Digital 160gb
Corsair HX620 watt modular
Silverstone TJ07

Cooling (On its way)
D-tek Fuzion V2 (Barbs: 3/8" Dtek Barbs)
Swiftech MCR320-QP-K Triple 120mm Radiator (Barbs: 3/8" Swiftech Metal High Flow)
Swiftech MCP 355 12v DC Pump
XSPC - Acrylic Reservoir for Laing DDC
PrimoFlex Pro LRT UV Blue Tubing - 3/8in. ID x 5/8in. OD x8
EK High-Flow Fitting - 3/8" OD x4
Plastic Tubing Clamps - Black x10
ARCTIC SILVER ARCTICLEAN 60ML KIT - THERMAL MATERIAL REMOVER
Arctic Cooling MX-2 Thermal Compound
YATE LOON 120mm Case Fan - D12SH-124B - UV Blue Frame with 4 Blue leds - High Speed
Scythe "KAZE MASTER" 5.25" Bay Fan Controller - Black

I hope to get my Quad core to ATLEAST 3.4ghz which really should be a piece of cake :p

I STARTED off by wondering where I can mount the HD cage ;) Then an idea popped in my head!

(Sorry for some bad pictures, My camera doesn't want to work atm :( )

THINKING WHERE I CAN MOUNT THE CAGE:confused:
http://i37.tinypic.com/2hi5puv.jpg

I TOOK OUT THE USB/AUDIO BAY. REPLACED IT WITH HD CAGE =)

http://i36.tinypic.com/169qiye.jpg

NO MODDING/SCREWS REQUIRED!!!

http://i34.tinypic.com/v310dk.jpg

FINAL LOOK

So that is pretty much all I can do until i get my LC items to play around with ;)

More pics will be with you as soon as I receive my goodies :)

[Dangals]

Nice one - Love the TJ07!

With the HDD mount - I never thought of that with mine, however I still wanted to use the front USB ports. Judging from the pic how you show it fits outside the rails - why not still have the usb bay there are run the cable through the hole in the side of the hdd bay. You said you are only running the one hdd so there should be plenty of room for it. Just a thought.

Looking forward to some more pics.

Shouldn't be an issue - I have orderded things from both the US and the UK and they were both here on time. :up:

Looking forward to seeing some more pics of this build!

[disruptfam]

nice work mate

look forward to some more updates..

love that case

[fepple]

Another take for the HDD mount. I took the bottom of an old CD-Rom drive, so I had a piece of metal in a |_| shape, drilled holes in that and screwed the original mounting point for the HDD cage on to that then mount the CD-Rom base in the 5.25'' bay. Makes it easy to get out as you only have to undo that one thumbscrew on the mounting point

[dingdong555]

Nice idea :)

Well, my liquid cooling stuff is still only shown as "International dispatch" which means it is still on THE PLANE 4 DAYS LATER!!

Yes I am pissed, it is probably sitting at customs and hasn't been scanned yet!

Far out!

[dingdong555]

*UPDATE*

As requested, I mounted the HD cage with the USB reader IN as well :)

(Note, you will need flat heat screws for the HD cage to fit OVER the USB screws ;) )

Place the card reader in, (USE FLAT HEAD SCREWS)

http://i37.tinypic.com/azjmnp.jpg

Run the cables INFRONT of the HD bay, the bay cover SHOULD fit around the cables) *YOU CAN CABLE TIE DOWN THE CORDS SO YOU CAN HAVE ANOTHER HARD DRIVE IN THE CAGE!*

http://i38.tinypic.com/ebajk2.jpg

Bay covers fit around the cords :D

http://i35.tinypic.com/1z30vuu.jpg

FINAL RESULT :thumbup:

More updates will come as my stuff arrives :mad:

[dingdong555]

WOOHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It arrive on Thursday late in the arvo, It was just sitting at my door when i got home :\

ANYWAYS lets get on with it shall we? =)

(THIS IS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT LIQUID COOLING SO ADVICE IS APPRECIATED!!)
First up, my WC gear!!

http://i33.tinypic.com/4pxfk2.jpg

So after staring at my stuff for an hour because I had never seen ANYTHING like it before, I decided to do a leak test!

http://i34.tinypic.com/e96ejc.jpg

http://i35.tinypic.com/2jltl.jpg

http://i33.tinypic.com/j0f96f.jpg

ATM I am running @ 3ghz, Temps are 24 celcius.

I will update this with pics of load etc.. as soon as i get a chance to OC it to 3.4-3.6. I will also run 3D mark etc..

Water cooling for the first time was a BLAST for me, Fun as!

=)

[disruptfam]

looks really good mate and your did a fantastic job for your 1st time !!!

glad your injoyed the experience and you well be addicted to watercooling i bet

[Dangals]

Nice work mate - good to hear you got everything up and running smoothly!!

Looks good with the blue tubing too!

[dingdong555]

Thanks guys :)

My tubing is THIS (http://www.jab-tech.com/PrimoFlex-Pro-LRT-UV-Blue-Tubing-3-8in.-ID-x-5-8in.-OD-pr-4115.html) one. Does my tubing look like that in the picture? No. Is it UV reactive? No.

I have emailed Jab-tech because i looks like i got the wrong tubing! Just my luck :ROTF::shakes:

[dingdong555]

Got my new motherboard + Ram :)

Ahh, made my pocket empty but IT'S WORTH IT!!!!

THanks, the two top (exhaust) fans are still way too loud. i might do some sleeving with the help of your genius guide ;)

[BlueAqua]

Looks good man. I see you have some new compression fittings. It looks like you cannot screw them down all the way. I have the same effect when I tried my Primochill tubing. What size fittings do you have?

[dingdong555]

Yeah, I have the primochill 3/8 5/8 UV tubing. Fittings are 3/8 5/8 (don't fit on the Fuzion V2) To get the compressing fittings that tight, boil some kettle water and place about 5cm of the tubing in it. Leave it in there for about 30seconds :) It will still put up quite a fight though when you tighten the compression!

New pictures also! I re-drained and "un-tangled" the tubes.

I've got some questions for you:cord:

So did you have any leaks? [referring to that OCAU warning thread]
Is 3.6 your final oc? I really find it hard to get past 3.8 IBT stable without raising all my voltages by a large amount.

Warning thread? link me please :)

3.6ghz is a piece of cake to get, I could go past 3.8 but I would have to raise the NB voltage which I can't be bothered doing LOL!

[LogAn'sRun]

Is the MFII like the board? I ask because it seems like more and more people have this board than anything else. . .besides, I'm thinking about getting a p45 as well.

Yep :)

It is an awesome board, looks awesome, overclocks like a champ and has a great layout!

Ah k, thanks!

Not sure what he is saying about a "Hot" day. I can only recall 1 days when it was about ~26C = not hot IMO.

Cable ties + BP Compression FTW!!

Lol well to not check your pc for 6 months is beyond my logic anyway. I mean you service your car right lol.

[BlueAqua]

Looks good. I did a bit of black painting yesterday too. The black looks sooo much better.

[twwen2]

Hey nice stuff dingdong! :)

What did you use to paint?

[dingdong555]

Hey nice stuff dingdong! :)

What did you use to paint?

Dulux Quick Dry Flat black ~$9.50 a can, i got 2 cans + 2 cans of White primer. Took a day or so! It has been completed but I'm waiting for the sun to get some pics :D The cables are everywhere but that is because I'm waiting for my MDPC sleeving to arrive!!!

Pics tomorrow!

[MomijiTMO]

I think I'm gonna do a BlueAqua. I'm going to get a Lian Li and paint the inside. I'll have a look at the paint you used because it turned out great.

Waiting waiting waiting. Oh life is so unfair. . . . . :D

My MDPC lseeving has been shipped out today by Nils.... w00t!

[.Logic]

That is looking really good, if I was REALLY REALLY picky I would change the positioning of the tubing on the inlet of the fuzion so that it fills up the right side of the motherboard compartment more :p:

Oh... I almost forgot,

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e17/photonoob/ya_rly.jpg

You called it upon yourself :D

P.S. I'll be praying for your fingers during the sleeving process.

My fingers are still black from painting, they're also cut because it was the first time I have every used a dremel, getting the cutting disk on with a screw driver is hard then it sounds :ROTF:

[dingdong555]

I got my MDPC sleeving. Nils looked after me very well! I'm so impressed by this sleeving, it's my first sleeving job i have EVER done and it was an amazing experience!

+1...Nice job! I like what you did with the 8-Pin connector. Looks pretty slick coming over the top like that.:up: If you cut a whole the mobo tray would you have needed the extender?

edit: I forgot to ask. Anymore shots of how you mounted the rad?

Thanks heaps!!!

I needed the extender, it was way too short with it, a 20cm extender is plenty :) As I cut a hole in the motherboard tray ;)

Mounting the rad....short and simple....VELCRO!:yepp: yes, VELCRO, it works like a gem and takes 5minutes, if that. I then made sure the radiator was leaning forward a bit so I placed a few "offcuts" of tubing infront of it to hold it upright :) Like so....

http://i33.tinypic.com/1hsfib.jpg

It was the only thing lying around the house and I couldn't be bothered going out to get something to mount it lol.

[Dangals]

nice work on the sleeving! looks fantastic :up: Kinda wish that I had known about the MDPX sleeving when I purchased mine months ago....oh well maybe next time :D

Anyway! UPDATE time.

I have tossing up what tp use as blue coolant because I'm getting an EK 250 res. Feser one? not @ $40 a bottle over here in Australia!!! Stupid price. USD > AUD = even worse!

*Ignore the fans not being sleeved up the top, I'm going to do them tonight!

The Vraptor! (with the Samsung 750gb behind it!) More updates to come within the next few weeks!

Hi dingdong, can you help me measure up how much room left with upper part of DDC+XSPC reservoir to middle case chamber partition when installed on bottom compartement on TJ07?.

As you may have seen from a recent post by "emuexport," I recently found out he lives near me so what better to do than ask him for some "spare" parts I could buy off him ;)

Here is a teaser shot of my newly mounted Velociraptor 150gb and my UV lights which activate my UV tubing! (Thanks emuexport)

http://i35.tinypic.com/3338npd.jpg

More updates to come when I mount my Ek res/BP temp sensor etc...!

Hold tight!

Thanks Dingdong, want to place DDC with xspc res at the bottom temjin 07 then add rotary elbow for the intake hole, but not sure whether it fit or not.

[dingdong555]

I'm actually selling this computer on ebay (Australia) because I want to do another one. If you're interested, PM me.

Here is another shot of the rig :)

Nice build :) when are you putting in the res?

[dingdong555]

Nice build :) when are you putting in the res?


If I sell my computer, I'm not, I'll keep it for my next build.

*IF* i order a "T" line/3 barbs - which i need to be able to mount to res, then, it'll come to about $100 AUD (Shipped) :down::down:

[dingdong555]

New order, bare in mind I recently got an EK 250res.

2 x TFC Barb (Compression Fitting) - Nickel-plated, 1/2"-3/4", G1/4"
(FC-FI-1234) = $19.92
1 x T-Fitting G1/4", Delrin, Black (DD-FIT-D100) = $12.50
1 x Fill Port (G1/4"), Delrin, Black (DD-ACC-509) = $18.95
10 x Barb (Fat Boy) G1/4" to 1/2", Brass, Chrome-plated (DD-FIT-B502) =
$45.00
2 x Feser Tube - UV Blue, 1/2", 3/4", 1/8" (FC-FT-0062) = $27.90
------------------------------------------------------
Sub-Total: $124.27


2 x Feser One Fluid - UV Blue, 1l (FC-F1-0001) = $81.00
------------------------------------------------------
Sub-Total: $81.00




Yes, I know, stupid prices, this is Australian prices for you. Since the AUD sucks, purchasing from the US would be just as bad.

Should be here soon ;)

Guess I was lucky lol.

[N19h7m4r3]

Looking forward to the updates :)

[dingdong555]

Ok guys! Little update for you, I can't wait until the weekend to install everything so I installed the EK 250 res on the motherboard tray, no liquid is passing through it as I'm using my current loop (until the weekend :) )

Please tell me your honest opinion on the placement of the res/sleeving. I need your advice! :up:

[anubis_is_evil]

guess to move that res a little bit to the right, so it will give bit space for the sleeving/cable to through into the res..well that is just me :)

Through the res?? OMG LEAKS!!!

Lol, I know what you mean ;)

[dingdong555]

i just had a VERY PROGRESSIVE DAY!

Got home from school, said, "nah, can't wait until the weekend! Why not do it now???" And I'm finished in about 4 hours :)

Changed all my barbs/tubing/pump top/res/liquid. =)

Updates TOMORROW when i get my UV lights ;) I promise.

[anubis_is_evil]

Through the res?? OMG LEAKS!!!

Lol, I know what you mean ;)

hahaha :D..no, i mean, in the back of the res..but i dont know it will fit, i never use ek res thought :D

goodluck with your new project..:up:

[dingdong555]

FFS!

Sorry guys. I weas about to leave for school this morning then I saw blue LIQUID ON MY DESK!!!!! Luckily, I saw it, no damage to ANY hardware. It was because I used different barbs on my Swiftech MCR320QP as opose to the Swiftech High flow ones. Oh well, just another excuse for me to order TFC360 ;) Should be here by wednesday I'm hoping. Also a new monitor is on its way :up:

[BlueAqua]

Let's see some updates dingdong555. ;)

New monitor??

[dingdong555]

Let's see some updates dingdong555. ;)

New monitor??

Should be here Monday, my TFC360 rad should be here on Wednesday. Don't worry guys! I'll bombard you with pictures. Right now i'm on my Pentium 4, 1.5gb DDR400 ram machine, sounds like a space ship! :shocked:

Monitor = 2433BW ;)

[dingdong555]

Ok guys. Got my monitor, it has ONE dead pixle (is bright blue) that I can ONLY see on a black background. I'm not sure if I should take it back or not, I REALLY CBF but if you guys insist, I will :D

Anyone got a Canon IXUS90??? They're about $280 over here and reviews sound amazing. Maybe Santa might bring me one so I can take BETTER pictures for my worklog! :rofl:

Thanks!

[dingdong555]

Ok all!

Well, I got my TFC360 radiator on Wednesday, installed it with 2x Feser rotaries off my mate that I got, leak testing.............. Put and paper towel around the 45* rotary and it had blue coolant on!! Another LEAK!. Once I drained the system, I looked at the rotaries and one of them had a bigger gap than the other (where the rotary bit is)

I just went back to my "Fat Boy's" and all has been going well! Temps have only dropped by about 2*C lol.

New camera is coming soon so say goodbye to :banana::banana::banana::banana: pictures :) These are the best i could do! (FOR NOW! More coming!!)

Hmmm, does anyone smell MurderMod backplate?

[cobra_kai]

Damn that really looks great Dingdong. ;) I really like the color of the Feser One blue coolant.

agreed, that really looks sick

[disruptfam]

seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeex

[dingdong555]

Thanks all!

My black powder coated Serpentine Backplate has now been shipped to me! a HUGE thanks goes out to Charles and nils, those 2 guys are truly amazing. :up::up::up:

Also, just went to bunnings and got blue paint....hmmm.....what could i be doing do that???

I'm on school holidays now so I will "paint" something tomorrow :)

[MomijiTMO]

School as in you still go to school D= or do you mean uni/private college/TAFE?

If your still in school holy molly you must either work a lot or have really nice folks.

PS : Could you give me a rough idea of when Flabbergast sentiment went bad?

School as in school. High school. I'm not as old as you think ;) I'm er.....young.

All these parts have been raised by me from doing a "secret" job online (Which includes Adobe After Effects) and my job @ woolies for $8/hour. lol, slavery much??

Flabber didn't go "bad," he just had to close his store because as you know, most of his items are "pre-order" that was because he didn't have the funds to do bulk orders like Gammods. He got hit hard by the USD so he decided to close the store, most refunds have been given out but now he can't contact the peeps on OCAU that have PM'd him their details because they banned him lol. 2ish weeks ago he decided to close.

[MomijiTMO]

Oh so how young? Great to see you can save up for a big project :up:

And no I didn't say Flabber went bad, rather everyone getting narky. I don't know enough to have an opinion on much. People on OCAU are pretty vicious especially with the more relaxed language standards.

[shazza]

Really nice job, dingdong. Looks like you have the makings of a master modder!

Hope you're enjoying your warm Australian summer while some of us are freezing in the US :)

[Splave]

looks amazing, could you add a dual rad on the top if you wanted?

Yeah lol, they're going nuts. He tried to sell some stuff on the FOR SALE section so he could get the cash to refund the last few guys, instead, they banned him because he owed too much money haha. I'm 14 BTW. 15 in April :up:

Wow , thanks HEAPS! Enjoying the warm summer and warm liquid temperatures! LOL. Lucky I got a TFC360 radiator! I prefer winter IMO :)

Thanks, yes I could but it would need a tiny bit of modding and I don't have plans to do it (Don't need to)

If this is summer i'm not looking forward to winter...:eek:
Been raining all week now.

Nice rig dingdong!

Excellent photos dingdong...I really like the build you put together!

The ROG logo through the tubing is pretty slick IMO.

More to come, this isn't the end!

More as in, painting something, receiving a backplate and finally, getting a new CAMERA!

better shots coming soon :)

[MomijiTMO]

Seriously, you have a massive head start since you are 14. ZOMG, by the time your MM's age you'll have a million pcs :p:

I can't wait to move the hell out of Brisbane in 10-15 years. I melt in this weather. It's not pretty.

You'll melt anywhere in Australia lol.

Not to go off topic (but I will) ... you guys stop complaining about Australian summers! I was fortunate enough to live in Australia for 3 years, and loved every minute of it ... we wish every day we were still there enjoying your beautiful country.


And ... back on topic ... can't wait to see what dingdong has in store for us.

[MomijiTMO]

Yeah off to Canada I go despite it being way more socialist than we are but meh, cold >> politics

yep, it's awesome, the Australian dollar SUCKS so much that it is cheaper to get liquid cooling parts over here rather than order from the US.

$1AUD = $0.66USD
3months ago $1AUD = $0.98USD <----- That was the shizard.

Second coats on ;)

One item is black, the other is blue :O

hmmmmm.:confused::confused:

[dingdong555]

Small update, I emailed Nils/Charles and wanted advice from them as they're the "Professionals" in my eyes. They gave me a few suggestions, one of them was the red heatsinks had to be taken off and they don't "go" with blue. Why take them off? I thought to myself, so I painted them blue ;) Turned out pretty much the exact same colour as the tubing under NO UV. Looks pretty good in my books, my backplate has been removed, just waiting for the MurderMod one to arrive :) (Thanks Charles/Nils) and something else "Black" is drying.....:confused:

Few pictures (New camera tonight hopefully!!!)

Nice stuff DingDong! I considered painting my shields too as the red clashed but decided just to toss them. I like the blue paint though, looks great. I still see a red Maximus II Formula sticker though. ;)

[disruptfam]

Very nice indeed

haha, sneaky you are.....hmmm, gives me ideas :up:

4870's are so bad, mine is bending quite alot. I'll try and get a pic of it, actually, in the first picture you can see it.

[theorie]

nice little build, from one TJ07-brother to another!

[Baxxxter]

Nice mod on the MF2 heatsinks. I myself was thinking of doing the same with mine...:D

[dingdong555]

Ok all.

My little "other" thing was the DVD drive, I have been spraying it black but the paint on the BACK (Really the only side that you see when it's in the case :( ) is cracking. I have sanded it numerous times and started again but I think it's just getting worse, I'll see how it is tomorrow but I may have screwed this one :down:

Anyway, new camera! I quite like this photo. There is no case backplate as i took the stock one off (my MurderMod one should be here soon!)

Maybe you could try the Ghetto solution I did when I painted the back on my drives!

Find some big fat black permanent marker pen that is smear proof and dries instantly. I bought my fat marker at an Art Material Shop, the pen tip was 12mm wide and ~5mm thick.

I took the drive with me to the Art Shop and asked what I could use to paint the back plastic with in the most easy way, and they were really helpful and showed me these fat marker pens.

I then let it dry for 24h in front of a table fan on slow speed, and the result looked real good later in my TJ07.

The only problem I had was to find the right marker for the job. Some markers from the super-market I tried out with first on an old drive - wasn't good.

This was 2 years ago and I don't remember the name of the marker pen, and the Art Shop I bought them from is now unfortunately out of business!

I remember though that the marker had a VERY strong smell that almost made me high :peace: and that the ink was very hard to remove from my fingers, so vinyl gloves is recommended.

So ask the Art Shops for a strong fat marker that has a good reaction with plastics (etches in) not too strong though, so that the plastic melts :D.

Thanks for the tip!

I'll keep that in mind :)

I actually may have fixed the paint after about 3 days on painting/sanding!

FINGERS CROSSED!!!! :up:

Don't worry my friends, I hate not giving updates as much as you hate not receiving them ;) :up::up:

I am going away for 2 nights with my family so final shots will come then (or maybe this morning IF i have time)

I hope everyone has a FANTASTIC Christmas! Stay safe all!

[shazza]

Aww shucks, I was hoping to see some great shots of your beautiful build. Guess I'll have to wait a few days. Enjoy your Holiday ... I believe you're already celebrating Christmas, while some of us in the USA are still awaiting the sound of Santa squishing down the chimney.

[BlueAqua]

Fantastic work dingdong! I've really enjoyed seeing this build progress and getting better and better every step of the way. That backplate looks really nice, I must admit. It seems like every time you are done with the build, you step it up a notch. What's next? :)

[Dangals]

Great work DingDong!! - that backplate looks wicked!! I knew you would love it. Well Done :up:

Thanks BA, I have REALLY enjoyed your log to, it has inspired me as mine hasn't been, "1,2,3 = done" mine has been an on going mod due to limited funds. Thankyou for your kind words my friend, much appreciated :)

What's next? Fark.....I would LOVE to sell this and do another case ;)


Great work DingDong!! - that backplate looks wicked!! I knew you would love it. Well Done :up:

Thanks Dangals, it's nothing compared to your case ;)

Soon! Just got back from a holiday :) :up:

[dingdong555]

Well, too many people said, " SHOW ME THE WHOLE CASE NOW," so i guess I have too :) These pictures aren't the best because

1) The window on the case reflects EVERYTHING!
2) I'm a "photo-n00b"
3) There is none.

Happy NEW YEAR! Bring ON 09'!

Looking, great! And you're pics are getting better and better. It's hard to take a good photo of the black cases, especially when there are reflections - I think you did a nice job (on the photos and the Build).

And ... to ask the important questions -- does it perform like you want, and are you happy?

You know those gold things that you screw into your motherboard tray in which the mobo screws into? well I got 2 of them, screwed them together, got another do, did the same thing, then I screwed them into either side of the hard drive and THEN put it in place > Screw into the 5.25" bays. :) (If you understand that :) )

[Borys]

Verni nice looking clean and sweet. Maybe you are thinking about the BS fittings?? It will be look great in your WC i think :]

Thanks man! The back is not as clean as I would like it to be, mainly because of all the molex connections I have!!!

To make it so clean, you have to cut a piece out of the mid tray. Takes about 5minutes :)


what an awesome final result, looks good:up:

Thankyou!

hi just read this entire log and liking it! very similar to mine actually, and almost an exact copy of what i intend mine to be like (eventually!)

mine is in this thread just below yours! its pretty sloppy cos its unfinished!

i would also like to see your ninja-like cable skillz at the back.

good work dude!

one suggestion...if you have access to a pillar drill (at your school for intance) then get some smoked acrylic (or transparent black...its the same thing) and replace the stock window with a dark one. it looks much , much better.

The fans are yate loons UV blue. One suggestion for you, turn your CPU block around so the cables go in a "cleaner-look" loop. I turned mine 90* ;) Scarey indeed......

Really nice job James!


I have 3 little suggestions.

I'd remove the plastic edge protectors from the holes on the midplate - not needed IMHO.

Mabe paint the GPU IO plate.

I find those teeny zipties kinda look like a portly dude in a speedo - Mebe go with ones a bit thicker for visual balance. Like a dude in a speedo, I get the feeling that those you've got look like they may pop off at any moment. :ROTF:

Great work! :)

Thanks for the tips Charles, the white protective things, yeah....I was looking to paint them but I may just ditch em' because paint will peel.

Speedo's - LOL! I'm in Australia! it gets VERY hot over here! :up: Yeah, I shall swap them though ;) :rofl:

GPU plate = That's on my "To - Do" list. I just want to sell it so I can do another one! I'm craving to do another build!!! :rolleyes:


Wow, you have inspired me to get a job and make a awesome computer like yours! I'm 14 as. Well.

Glad I have ;)

Very nice looking, I can only hope my next build will be anything close to the look of these cases.

BIG UPDATE!

My case is sitting in about 20pieces next to me, I'm giving it an overhaul.

I just ordered some more MurderMod parts (Thanks Charles).

My plan is to get a new graphics card, do a dual loop with the CPU/Chipset in on, GPU in the other. I don't want to give too many secrets out yet ;)

Powdercoating the case should be done as soon as the MM parts get here, after that, I simply have to wait a few weeks so I have enough funds to order some stuff from the US.

I will be starting a new worklog as soon as some parts arrive and I decided on a name :yepp:

STUNNING....SIMPLY STUNNING!

Sorry if the question has already been asked, maybe i read over it if it has. How have you mounted your 2 HDD's? Are those just longer screws? Do you find any vibration / noise resulting from the way you mounted them?
