Wow, that is some engineering for sure. Too bad they used so much Alu that has direct contact with copper.....

[kinghong1970]

woa...

tha dude got skillz...

/cue aluminum vs copper posts...

:sofa:

[SquidgyB]

:eek2:

e: I didn't read about it having aluminium and copper in the same block. That's a bit daft, considering the workmanship that's otherwise gone into it...

[Navanod]

:shock2::bows::worship::shock:
truely shocking...
but there goes upgradability :rolleyes:

That is superb workmanship. Brings custom waterblocks to a new level..

[SoulsCollective]

Performance will probably be awful, but god damn it looks so good that I don't even care.

[HawaiianSupermn]

I'm amazed, nice work bro! SKILLZ!

[Alexontherocks]

I feel so amateur using plexy and glue....

Wow that is an impressive piece of work..and accually it looks like you can take off the individual blocks and replace them.

[TedShred]

Absolutely amazing:shocked:

Great art!

[gxavier]

Wow that's fing awesome! I love the way the 'case' looks

[AndrewZorn]

Wow, I love how the waterblock is also the frame!

However, it must suck when a new video card comes out.

[Whiteranger]

****SKILLZ****

[ShArKo]

wooowwww..........nice job dude.........very nice work..........

how many days take to build that ????

[hotdun]

Truly unbelievable craftsmanship. Unfortunately, it's really a one-off type project that wouldn't see much benefit in our arena of constantly changing hardware components.

[Kayin]

Amazing. Simply amazing.

I hope he got mad sponsorz.

[NaeKuh]

agree'd the setup is totally speachless in bling.

but copper rad + alu blocks killed it in performance.

Someone needs to teach that builder that a baby can blow out harder then those crappyX fan's he has.

[trfnj74]

I wish I had mad skills like that, its a work of art.....

[inCore]

If the links in his signature are his sponsors, they're quite decent.

Amazing work, if you build something like that with such easy you probably have similar projects every once in a while, when you feel like getting a new set of hardware.

Rolex holds a much better value over time. And it actually gets more expensive as it ages. :rofl:

Id rather have yate sponsoring me then crappyX. Incase you dont know what crappyX is, its SilentX.

The overbloated lying SOB's fan company we all learned to hate and bash without a second thought. Sorry SilentX needs bashing.

[Zw_Roodbaard]

Great piece of engineering :) but the only thing I wanna know is how does it perform with all the heat sources in one loop ?

[gxavier]

I just love the way it all comes together. It's like a test bench setup, but so stylish it looks like a full case. I love the way it looks. The base with radiators reminds you of a v-stroke engine, and the red fins cover the mobo and give the illusion that it's enclosed in a case. A+!!

I totally wouldn't want to use those gigantic waterblocks, but I love the way everything else looks and is put together.

[RockfordFosgate]

Simply amazing.

But i think something missing @ outside..

Isn't it SilenX?

[Flip_Lx]

what am i missing? I only see 1 tube connected to it

pretty colors and its the fastest one there is cause we all know "the red uns' go fasta"

The other tube is behind the first. There's a pic of this in the full log.

[NaeKuh]

:rofl:

i think your right.

In short, every fan review ive read talked MAD crap about them.

Even vapors. And they even tried to viral market on SPCR and got caught/ban'd. :rofl:

They dont even make it to anandtech anymore. In the cases and cooling that i moderate, i make sure i link all my proofs that there the worlds crappiest / most expensive fans you can get.

[systemviper]

It's amazing what some minds can come up with, it just looks fast and cool. :up:

[NaeKuh]

incase someone is misunderstanding me.

His job is L33t. I give him a lot of credit, and would love to hire him on some tasks as long as he avoided the ALU.

Its the alu that has all our panties tuged up giving us murphys. :rofl:

[HESmelaugh]

Kayin;3370755']Amazing. Simply amazing.

+1 on the sponsorz.

Really jaw-dropping.

[Waterlogged]

QFT +1

I also have to give him a 10/10 engineering. What you guys don't understand is, his GPU blocks are more or less modular. All he needs to do is make new bases for whatever cards he gets and he's done. Even the MoBo block can be re-done in the same manner from the looks of it. Only problem I can see, is if the spacing on the GPU's change at all.


I'm gonna stray from the "pack" a bit and say that while they are over priced, SilenX fans do make "acceptable" case fans if you have them already. I used to recommend them when I was over at DD's forums but stopped before I left there. Yes their actions on SPCR were deplorable but that has nothing to do with the products themselves. I would recommend that useless you've actually used any of their products you keep the bashing limited to the thoughts in your head.

:rofl:

WL ive used them and the OG Noctuna's, and when i placed them next to a yate low speed and then did exactly what masaville did, which was yell a bunch of vulgar words on why 1 silenX fan costed as much as my entire fan setup of yates?

:rofl:

shall i necro this thread WL?
Sorry I hate SilenX with a passion, and yes ive used them. :shakes:

So today I received my 6 Yate Look 72cfm fans, which I purchased after reading many threads of fan choice (and watching Pete's fan vid haha). I plugged them in I was amazed at how a 32dba fan can be as quiet as the 14dba Silenx Xtrema Pro fan and blow as much if not more air. I already had the Silenx Xtrema Pro fans from before you jump all over me....heh.

What a complete waste of money.....doh.:eek: :eek: :eek:

At 30 bucks a pop those Silenx fans are a joke!!! I think I paid about as much for all 6 Yates as I did for a single Silenx Xtrema Pro 120mm. Crap.....crap....crap.....bah.

I also purchased 2 of the Yate Loon 72cfm 32dba UV blues and they are actually quieter than the 14dba (eerrrrm....bull:banana::banana::banana::banana:). ...Silenx UVs. WTF??? lol

Bah......grrrr......:slapass: <-----slapping the ass of Silenx


The part i bolded is exactly how i felt after i grab'd yates and compared them. :rofl:

[axis]

I like his design on the CPU block. The "bullet" in the middle works well on turbos as a air accelerator and i'd think it would do something similar in water. Not sure how the raised fins would work though. Definitey WC pr0n though. He needs to hook up with Martin.

[jc99]

Apple should have gotten this guy to design their G5 liquid cooling system. At least it would have looked nicer. :yepp:

[T_Flight]

That's what we'd call in the Aero/Astro buisness a "hangar queen". Totally georgeous, but non-functional. Once it corrodes it would be termed a "BUFF". I won't spell out what BUFF stands for, but leave that to your imagination. :)

is it like FUBAR?

or for the B-52 it was: Big Ugly Flying Fword

[Martinm210]

Wow...that is a ton of work...I don't even want to know how many hours that must have taken...:eek:

[FrostyPanda]

MDPC quality for sure...

[smee]

WOW! Thats insane. :shocked:

I love the end result and how the case looks, thats just totally SICK!!!

I agree with the whole alu+cop=Bad, but if it doesn't bother him, then thats fine by me. :up:

One thing I noticed tho.... he's not running his memory in Dual Channel. :rolleyes:

[aspire.comptech]

[Duniek]

:eek: I'm speechless :eek:

Did you make all measures "handly" or 3d element scanning?
all fits perfect, that is awesome :shocked:

[BreeSpree]

Looks awsome, what pains me more than the alu/copper mix is how hard it must have been to mount that thing. Everything would have to be perfectly set into the PCI-E slots and then you would have to screw it in. I wonder how he attached it to the second Sli card? However it is very blingy, I would sure use that if I could make one. Something makes me think that there could have been a better all-in-one design block though. Still gets 10/10 all the way though. Especially 10/10 for creativity. :up:

[BiFfMaN]

yah Fword seems to be more PC then F@%K. :p:

Yeah i saw this on bit-tech a while back, it's just amazing! :eek:

holy :banana::banana::banana::banana: thats :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing amazing awesome work bro and im sure the temps arnt bad

[hellcamino]

That is an absolutely incredible work of art with function, to all you who have anything bad to say about it...Where is your elegantly engineered and hand built hardware that can compare to it?

NaeKuh, I too was a bit upset about spending so much on the SilenX when I finally got my first YL SM's, but in all honesty, I never really believed the CFM/dbA numbers on the SilenX in the first place so I wasn't too disappointed by their performance. I did buy more than a few of them though, and try to use them when ever possible just to get rid of them and they really aren't as awful when they are just moving case air with simple wire grills. Once I've used them all and they finally all die, I can put that chapter of bad purchases to rest with most of the other "bad purchase" chapters I've had, the one exception being my BI GTS, that thing just refuses to die. :shakes:

[WaterFlex]

Amazing!

[mpower1001]

That's insane

[bigslappy]

Oink Oink ! Let's get out there & put some lipstix on that Pig & sell it !

[atomic ferret]

Oh..my...god...

[Jimmer411]

Very nice block, it serves its purpose well.


Seeing as its not a production block for the masses I could care less if it is alu or cardboard. What matters is that the creater achieved his vision within the budget and design limitations he/she may or may not have imposed on themself. The block is art, not XS.

I really wish that all the ALU haters would just pipe down. I mean, you CANT buy the block, its not in your rig so who gives a :banana::banana::banana::banana:?

[SimpleTECH]

You know DarthBeavis is going to be jealous.





*Begins to step back a few feet*

[Apollo4g]

wow thats nice!

[tiro_uspsss]

i just wet my pants...

that is.. insane, amazing & awe inspiring
the craftmanship is superb

& the case is something out of this world

[naokaji]

A piece of art, but would perform twice as well if he would use real fans.

[rintamarotta]

Thats just one peace of great craftmanship.

10/10 for everything else exept cooling witch gets 2/10 :)

[dualbrain]

Too bad the case fell off the table when it was supposed to get an MDPC-photoshooting. No kiddin' ...

[Salad Fingers]

Too bad the case fell off the table when it was supposed to get an MDPC-photoshooting. No kiddin' ...

Really! how p i s s e d would you be!

anyway, so you all know, I remember reading somewhere that the total cost for the completed system was 40K. can't remember if it was euros or what not. the costs broke down like this...

components, MB, CPU, GPU's etc... 4500
raw copper & alumimium blocks... 500
labour 700hrs @ average rate 50hr... 35000

40K!

But he did all the labor himself so total cost =5K + time.

[bentleya]

OUCH!!! you are joking right?

Well the only way it wound fall off is if the table capllosed, due to how heavy it is, you wound have to go some to push it off or lean on it ?

[Brodholm]

Is it just me or does that look awful? I think that the chassis is really ugly...

But I have to say that it is REALLY Impressive engineering :clap:

I would rather have a murderbox than that :yepp:

It looks like a 12 year old boy did the design.

But hey, that's just what I think.

[voigts]

If he had a good anodizing job done on the inside of those aluminum tops, he would be OK if he uses a healthy dose of antifreeze or the like. Apart from the alu issue, I fail to see how the cooling is going to be inadequate at all.

This has got to be the most incredible build I have ever seen. Truly unbelievable.

[Jah]

Holy mother of god!

Some ppl have to much time and money, simply out standing engineering, this in not a computer this is a sculpture.

[NysoO]

Nice engineering indeed! Although I think the case is a bit wierd.
The back is fully "open", no motherboard "plate" or such. He avoided to take pictures on the back so I guess there is a reason for it. Also the case looks like it is frontside back. It is tilted down "backwards" which make it look a bit stupid :D

[mstrmold]

Is it just me or does that look awful? I think that the chassis is really ugly...

Its just you. :rofl::ROTF:

Anxiously awaiting to see Brodholm's masterpiece made to life. :D

[TedShred]

That would be an epic tragedy:(

[Brodholm]

You wait and you will see! :bravo:

No, but seriously. I really don't like the red stripes on the sides and how it screams "LOOK AT ME". But all the other stuff is awesome! especially the block, that's just insane!

Not saying that I can do better because I can't :)

But I think that he/she could have made it less flashy and more clean and simple. But I'm sure that many people like that style. Including him/her :yepp:
