View Full Version : WIP: Sakura - Persephone Morphing.

Well, this is long overdue.

Also the Last WIP on this case and this board/platform.

I have renamed Persephone into Sakura.

Japanese Sakura means Cherry. I'll let you guys decide if my rig is a cherry or not.


Right now i finished tearing the system down, and its getting replanned.

Also to follow Iany's Dare, i am gonna limit my posts to 2 pictures per day.

Anyhow:

CPU: I have just finished lapping the QX. I am showing off 2 of her sisters. Can you guys guess which is which?

http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p73/aigomorla/IMG_1144.jpg

The IO sector, is something im proud about. This is the one aspect that makes my rig stand out:

http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p73/aigomorla/IMG_1145.jpg

All raptors. The 16meg are going in the system, the 8megs are going into another. I contemplated 8 raptors, however, after hearing people's advice, i wont notice a jack difference without a controller.

Controller to arrive next week hopefully.


Anyhow OOPS 2 pic quota is up! Tomorrow comes updates. :rofl:

Enjoy.

I thought i might as well thow this in. Sorry iany i wont break the dare anymore. :rofl:

He's had too much contact with RRR ! 2500 grit heh. Next, he'll take a pic of the reflection with UCSB. Lol

Naekuh: you know that the bandwidth without controller is sort of limited to 180 mbps, and even worse for Nvidia SB.. Like 140 mbps. Its just terrible! I was reading up on the IOP348 on the 1680i. Great stuff!

NaeKuh
08-24-2008, 04:55 PM
lol thats why i have a controller coming in soon.

:wasntme:

And yes Dave, this is 1 out of 2 that is going up against you.

Should I post the pic of the 6-73 gig Seagate SAS drives I have?:rofl:

hmm...wonder if you're going to have to tape the computer down, just so the drives don't rumble it off the table? anyway, nice looking build.

08-24-2008, 05:00 PM
Nice Naekuh, i'm looking forward to this one. I don't think i've seen a project from you while i've been here ;).

Aren't all those raptors gonna make your ears bleed!? :p:
And what happened to the Cheetah drives huh...?

my hearing is already bad. :P

Iany is going to need to bring out the shotguns. Were gonna get a lot of blingsville people asking for sanctuary after im done.

:rofl:


The lapping is for the most flat contact surface i can get. I know i can end at 800, but why stop there? :rofl:

IanY
08-24-2008, 05:45 PM
The Cheetah X15.6s are reserved for me.

They are the fastest HDDs in the world, faster than the Savio, much faster than Velociraptors, and definitely faster than any SSD ever released thus far, including MTron Pro.

True that! :ROTF:

I was looking forward to getting an SAS drive along with one of them ASUS P6T mobos (built-in SAS) and Bloomfield, but alas i have caught the SSF bug (and will probably save myself $1000+ as a result!). :D

You know Stealth. If they heard us coming in blingville, whats the point?

You want to sneak in and drop a bomb on them. :rofl:

Hey, does your backplane allow SAS cables for use with Sata drives?

Dho introduced the Addonics 2.5 backplanes to me for SSD/Sata/SAS. Takes only one Molex to power four drives! Can use either SATA or SAS cables. Costs only $65, and can be converted into eSata external use too. They also sell extra carriers so that you can warm swap drives in and out.

I thought they used the same connector...?

No my friend. The connectors are slightly different. Look at the picture on the right.

NaeKuh
08-25-2008, 08:34 AM
iany mine looks exactly like that.

Guys i finished stuffing. Only looping then testing, and then finalizing is left. :T

Sad note, i snaped my custom accelerator plate in half while cleaning. It got logged in i pry'd and the plate snaped. :[

Updates, 1/2 pictures :P

Hd's loaded into Rack.

IanY
08-25-2008, 09:37 AM
Sorry about your custom accelerator plate !! Do you have another one ?

We'll relax that rule to 5 pictures today :)

That's a beautiful picture! At least fill the bottom two slots with some other drives for a photo opportunity!! lol

NaeKuh
08-25-2008, 09:47 AM
I have 2 more raptors. :wastnme:

And yes iany my plate looks like that. Has those 2 and SAS ability.

http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p73/aigomorla/Harddrives.jpg

Price 29.99 :rofl:

4xscorpios, make it one of the fastest for a single 5 1/4 solution. Well 4 scorpio's in raid > 1 single drive.

I've been looking for those Seagate 15.6's - where did u get them from?

IanY
08-25-2008, 12:30 PM
What 15.6s ? He doesn't have 15.6s.

You can get those 15k6s straight from the company. Give them a call. Only about $300 each for the 174 GB version.

NaeKuh
08-25-2008, 02:57 PM
well im leak testing now.

i'll post up more pics later.

I have some system shots. The coolest thing i have is my koolance distribution system. I call it the perfect 90 with drain port.

Ran into a small leak with PEX fittings. :down:

Also need to warn you guys about the stopper that comes with koolance. The plug thingy offered on there brass module. Its alu and it corrodes.

Another interesting discovery.

Having 2 outlets at the bottom prevents vortex effect. :D

just a noob
08-25-2008, 03:39 PM
all those hard drives made me laugh a bit at first, this looks like a very fun build :S what case is this going into, or is that a secret?

That counts as 2.

3. The PEX fitting leaked. I had to swap that out with 2 martin's MOE's to make a Perfect Martin's U. :rofl:
http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p73/aigomorla/IMG_1151.jpg

4. My Koolance delivery / perfect 90. Thats a QD drain you see sticking out.

Oh i just reciently heard theres a new bios out to fix the HD4870X2, so those will get swaped out to that and an ARC-1680 controller once it gets here. I intend on slapping a MCW60 on the 1680ix as well :T

Now you guys need to wait til tomorrow for more pictures. :rofl:

Ummm, Cooling:
I'll tell ya guys tomorrow. :rofl:

08-26-2008, 03:11 PM
Found my stupid relay i thought i lost.

Might undergo another mounting system change back to pushpins. I cant seem to even the cores out on this hard mount and its pissing me off.

I have major work to do tonight.


On another note, because i need to beat dave, im even contemplating on using my X3370 on suicide settings, on a "beat dave or broke" scheme. :shrug:

NaeKuh
08-26-2008, 07:04 PM
Updates: I got a pass on 4.1ghz with linpack.

I need more :\ i dont think its gonna be possible.

I might have to breat out a E0.

Yeknom
08-26-2008, 07:17 PM
Meh, WCG stable isn't the same as Linpack stable. P95 with small ffts is stressful enough, just test with that :P

I don't think WCG will be more stressful than that eh?

08-28-2008, 10:49 AM
sorry guys been busy at work.

:T

I plan on doing some updates like pulling that PEX off, and straight tubing it.

Also i need to flip my EK 180 degree's i think the injector head is very depenant, on orientation. And what makes things worse is it maybe a YMMV so you dont know what direction is correct until you mounted both ways. :\

drbhatti
08-28-2008, 11:35 AM
wow! brilliant stuff, excellent hardware - would love an atto on the raptors though!

NaeKuh
08-29-2008, 01:22 PM
i'll continue on it today if time permits. If not tomorrow for sure.

What i did so far:
1. I added a relay to the RD-30.
2. Replaced PEX /w Martin's Perfect U.
3. Stress Testing and Vista Install.

What i need to do:
1. Need to flip Supreme 180.
2. Add compression springs for it and remove hard mount.
3. remove martin's perfect U and go straight tubing.
4. Remove 1 dead raptor and submit to RMA. <-- yeah i lost one. :\
5. Cable management
6. More cable Management.

7. Start on Hime(Princess). <-- #2 Movieman Crusher.

So another WIP goes up on Hime after i finish this one.
Q9650 + ASUS P5Q-DLX. Freya is getting broken up while i battle dave.

NaeKuh
08-31-2008, 06:48 PM
some updates.

I did the block 180 swap. I got worse temps. :P
So martin's guess is probably correct. The way the injector plate was laser cut is the main driving force.

1 of my HD3870's offically died. Thats the last time im buying diamond cards. They were seriously a headache and major disappointment. The HD4807X2 i have is waiting a block. Dayam DD why you OOS.

Oh another note. <3 QD's on GPU's Seriously!! <3 em to death.

Stock sink was 86C :O sick load temps.

After waterblock it doesnt break 40C :D

Dayam i love water. :rofl:

pics to come soon.



NOTE:

Guys, i just wanted to tell you, the DD block was much easier to install then any EK block ive had. The block fits nicer, and they added stubs where the screws go in for easier fitting.

Hard to explain, but installation wasnt as bad as my previous EK stuff.

Just thought i should share that

She passed linkpack, so i'll be throwing her on WCG soon. <dayam speedstep is on>

Mansion? shack falling apart rofl... The painters said 8 grand to paint the outside... I almost mooned them lol

There's a beautiful house five houses down from me.. on the market for 14 months rofl.. The properties here were way out of line to begin with.. now we're looking at 40% discount to typical market. *Nobody* is lending. They want 40% cash upfront, and ultra high credit standards. No jumbos, except for the big timers, who don't need mortgages in the first place.

Most of the cars are shed already.. at least the leased ones and all those with options to purchase... lol...

Traveling light for now... three out of five bosses are already unceremoniously dumped out the door.. thankfully I don't have a super senior executive position. They didn't ask me to stay at work this weekend, so I guess I'm not part of the inner circle with the rescue plan rofl

Think I can run a hot dog/lobster roll stand up there in NH?

Salesman? I've got the personality of a brick wall hahaha

How do you turn a spreadsheet number crunching credit analyst who reads legal documents all day long into a charismatic likeable salesman rofl :rofl::ROTF:

I am a depressing individual who specializes in turning around depressed businesses, filing bankruptcy and chopping them up for sale... wanna buy some asphalt... hahaha.. :D

I know a woman who has a hot dog cart down on the main street in manchester that pulls in $700 a day in the 7 good months of the year.
App $400 of that is profit..
She sets up at 10am and shuts down at 3pm..

That's exactly the type of cash-only liquid business I need. No sales receipts, no bank accounts *wink wink*

When the IRS comes around, I run to Vermont... "notta speka ingles.. por favor"

No, Vermont is not a place you want to live.
The politicians there are absolutely nuts and I mean nuts.
Maine has high taxes like Mass, NH is the one lone holdout to sanity that I see.
No state income or sales tax and that says it all.

Well in Texas we don't have a state income tax, but each city sets it's own sales tax though. I guaranteeyou the cost of living is cheaper...

IanY, I could teach you all my tricks of selling...:up:

This is it for here:
Personal property tax on your house and car.
In this town our $300,000.00 house is $4000.00/yr
A $25,000.00 car is $200.00 the first year,$150.00 the second year and $75.00 the third year. That is it. Electric is .145 cents per KW/H so thats not cheap, we have our own well so no water charges but $135.00 every other year to pump septic, thats really it.. Cheap to live here.:up:
This is $300K here.. 26x48ft split. 2 acres land,fenced yard,20x40 inground pool on a quiet dead end cul-de-sac..Not fancy but comfortable..
Visitors to the yard include woodchucks,deer,a great blue heron and on sunday am a 7Ft moose.
Great place to live!:up:
Oh, and FIOS is available.. I have a 15/2mbit line

OK, I give...

What kills us is School Taxes, how bad depends on what school district you live in.

Insurance rates are some of the highest in the nation, here in Harris County.

Did I mention the added bonus of a Hurricane every 25 yrs...

I'm 60 miles inland so by the time the few hurricianes that do come up here they are fizzled out by the time they reach me.
We do get 'Noreasters" in the winter..
We had one week 5 years ago with over 100 inches of snow in 7 days.
That was the year I remembered that line about 'men over 40 shouldn't shovel snow" and I quit.. I had 12 ft tall embankments beside the driveway and got to the point I couldn't toss it over.
Had a guy with a 5 ton dump truck come in and clean it out for $100.00
Last year Texas got more snow than we did..

In regards to the i7, close friends of mine have known me to have these chips since august. :rofl:

Oh evil, i may need to visit iandh very soon.

He's gonna make me some hold down plates for my supreme.


Another note, this build represented in sort of my cleaning. :rofl:
