[BreeSpree]

TBH the school bus yellow sort of makes me feel sick when I stare at it too long, it may just be the picture, but it does suit the "bumblebee" theme well. The gear you will be putting inside, should appreciate the watercooling, but where will you fit the GTX rad?

[Cpt_Zero]

i will be mounting my 2x GTX480 rads at the back like a jet lol

[Chicken Patty]

subscribed, coming out great so far :)

^^^ Sweet Bro, Can't Wait To See This Thing Put Together :)

[Cpt_Zero]

thanks chicken_patty

looking forward to finally complete this :)

[Chicken Patty]

thanks chicken_patty

looking forward to finally complete this :)

no problem bro, I will be putting my components back into my case tomorrow. Right now they are out of a case. I did some minor modding and cutting/trimming. Now I have more space to mount my water cooling stuff and hopefully better airflow. Ill post up a pic or two so you can see it. I hope to have it done tomorrow.

[bianco]

looks like an interesting build!
sub'd

just wondering though, what's up with the mannequin?


http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l165/nellrollon/151020081842.jpg

:D

:cool:

[Cpt_Zero]

:shocked:

omg if only i can have the link of where to buy these 1/2 ID 3/4 OD yellow tubes


:shrug:

and it could really help my rig to be completed hehehe

http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l165/nellrollon/yellowtubes.jpg

if only these yellow tubes will be in my rig huhuhu

http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l165/nellrollon/yellow.jpg

[Zw_Roodbaard]

I like the first picture with the Swiftech GTZ :) But did you already looked by the Feser Company for these tubes?

[omaryunus]

feser has these tubes but they only sell 3/8" ID version of this tube... there 1/2" ID colored tubing is not the best selection

[Chicken Patty]

cpt zero

you can get clear tubing and this coolant from Feser one :)

http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=383&products_id=22682

[BlueAqua]

Why don't you just go with 3/8"ID tubing then if you want that color? The performance difference is almost negligible.

[IcepiK]

u need black or yellow tubes, those green ones ruin your "bumblebee" look

[Cpt_Zero]

chicken patty

i have to say that those who plan to make yellow themes in their watercooling tubing, i would really say that you have to dump the idea of using UV yellow Coolant from fesser one if you want your liquid to appear yellow.

you will only be dissapointed. i have bought this yellow UV coolant and its appears to be green if you pour it in your system.

http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l165/nellrollon/161020081854.jpg

that is one of my problem

i have a color scheme problem in my tubing


http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l165/nellrollon/161020081858.jpg

even in close up, it is green in color huhuhu.

i tried to add distilled water as per advice of other LC'ers its not still yellow sheeettt

http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l165/nellrollon/171020081894.jpg

[Chicken Patty]

damn dude, I had never seen it in person. It just said yellow so I figured. Maybe using their dye will get the color yellow?

[Cpt_Zero]

yeap chicken_patty i dont know really why but i guess there is a thin line in being green and being yellow in coolant that is why i really wanted the yellow tubes :(

but i have already contacted the modder of the rig above and its tygon omfg

1/2 3/4 tygon yellow and damn its so expensive like 5USD per foot huhuhu

[Chicken Patty]

holy crap dude, thats amazing!! can you take better pics of how you mounted the rads, I might be really interested in doing something like this :up:

[andrzr]

awesome color scheme!
i really liked those yellow details on fans and rads.

congratulation for such a nice job!
cheers

[cpt.incredible]

thanks chickenpatty

hmmm i have taken pics for the mounting of the rads

its actually like a v type styled. i made a bracket with holes that are in line with the mount of the PSU.
it helps that the anodized thumbscrew that hold the PSU will be hold also the bracket.

anyway just watch the pic, i hope it helps :)

http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l165/nellrollon/18042009559.jpg

thanks andrzr for the appreciation :)

[Chicken Patty]

thanks for the pic, im trying to figure it out but man regardless this build is insane, great job dude :up:

[yonton228]

Looks pretty freakin sweet man. Awesome job. And I second Chicken Patty's request on more pics of the RAD bracket. If you could take a couple of more pics of it I would greatly appreciate it. I have the same case and I am trying to get ideas to mount my 2 rads. I am debating to either go external mounted in a similar way that you did or to take a spare case and turn it into a radbox.

Anyways, sweet build.




-yonton228/timmy

[cpt.incredible]

thanks guys

anyway i will wait for the dlsr of my friend,

il take more pics for the rad mounting. hope it helps. :)

for the meantime
