New Madness!

The new Madness plan is taking shape!

1. Case will be 33 H x 24 L x 9 W and support two PSU's, if needed
2. MB tray will be HPTX, just in "case" I decide to go with a SR-2, @ lowfat:p:
3. One loop
3. Three Rads, 120.4, 120.3 and 120.2:eek:
4. Four D-5's in Dual Top Configuration
5. One Res, EK 400 Advanced
6. BP Fittings as usual, True Silver on the Pumps, Black and Red for the blocks
7. Tubing, White or Clear PLT
8. Fan Control, Aquaero 5 XT

The case may be here this week. Once it arrives, I will have to assemble it, do a bit of cutting and then it it will be off to the powder coater.

Stay tuned.

Didn't you say you were putting your other stuff up for sale? I didn't see it.

Custom case?
LittleDevil's case?
Need a lot of space to accommodate such an expanded configuration.

More rads !!!!!!!!!! :-)

Scott,
Just kidding about lowfat. I decided to try the RIIIE before I bite the bullet on the SR-2. The 990 is very impressive on air and I think I may be able to hit 5 stable 24/7 with H20.

Lowfat, you are not a crapshoot.
Ah, best to take advantage of the hardware while you have it!

Yep, that is my current thought. However, the SR-2 is tempting, but who knows what our friends at intel have in store for Q4? I feel like a free agent in the current NFL lockout...:shrug:

A few parts arrived today...........

Crazy comes to mind :D

These fittings multiplied overnight. Who knew?

I really like the red o-rings! Any one need any green o-rings?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...d/DSC03796.jpg

Like I said, red o-rings and the red plugs....me like

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...d/DSC03797.jpg

Ten of these too! I didn't show all of them, got tired of stacking.........

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...d/DSC03793.jpg

And two of these for NaeKuh's pleasure......

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...d/DSC03798.jpg

Nice sturdy packaging...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...d/DSC03799.jpg

For $70.00 each, they should sleeve the cables! Crap, more sleeving to do!!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...d/DSC03800.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...d/DSC03802.jpg

The quality is nice, but not up to Aqua standards. My powder coating bill will be large to say the least.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...d/DSC03801.jpg

That's all for today.
Three more shipments and I will be ready to start :eek:
I still have to order the SLI fittings, but I will not know what to order until the case and the custom MB tray arrives. If my calculations are correct, I will be adding a third 580 and an EK FC-Bridge. I have numerous options and I am hoping to get this build completed before Ivy bridge debuts!
Cheers!

Like rabbits :eek::rofl:!

I'd really like to hear how the FC-8 works for you. When I get some new radiators and extra fans in the next few months, some decent control is much appreciated, seeing as I'm using a 20W controller atm :(.

The two FC's powered the A/C just fine. I will let you know how they work with the PC :D

That is one expensive and beefy looking fan controller! Do you know if you can control your pump speed off of it safely?

This build is going to be nice :up:

liking the parts so far! :up:

seeker wait til u see all the parts sprawling on the floor.

Then tell me if u still want to finish it... lol..

or better yet, tell me what motivates you to finish it, so i can use it next time.. :rofl:

Looks like it's going to be another fun and crazy project! :D
More parts this time, and more = better! :D
Good luck with it, I'll do my best to follow closely. :yepp:

Never on the floor with my parts! The case should be here next week and assembly will begin. Unfortunately, I have to assemble everything, cut and drill, disassemble and have it powder coated. It will be finished.
Motivation=scotch :D

Thanks, it should be fun. I cannot wait to see what type of flow I get out of 4 D5's. :eek:

Subbed, looking pretty good so far.

Thank you and in the words of Bachman Turner Overdrive, You ain't seen nothing yet! Oop's my age is showing :eek:

Actually, I am still trying to decide if I should go with the SR-2 over the R3E?

Depends on if you need the computing power or not, I guess. I'd stick with R3E if I were you.
