Looking forward to the next BlueAqua Special :up:
I was going to use No More Nails heavy duty tape since it's stronger than 3M, but I'm terrified I'll slip and poof, pump on wrong spot :P
Or if the bugger dies :/
Well, it took me quite some time to read this thread from beginning to end, but it certainly was worth it.
I just found out this log exists yesterday, and it's simply amazing!
Sadly, my murderMod is sitting next to me empty and lonely. My motherboard is finally back from RMA, but sadly my CPU cooler replacement (TRUE was too tall, going with Tuniq) is not yet here, and my 8800GT iandh RAMsinks aren't back yet from iandh (he had to trim them to fit with my T-Rad2).
This log makes me want to get some progress on my murderMod and start using it already!! Your system is absolutely beautiful. The white tubing looks amazing.
One BlueAqua Special coming up! :)Quote:

Nice to see you here hiiyah777. :) What do we have to do to get you to water cool that beautiful machine? Seriously, I want to help you get your feet wet. I hope to see some pictures of your build, and if you need any tips don't hesitate to ask.Quote:

It's working great so far, the temperature control is working just as I had hoped. I just need to tidy up some stuff, fix some small details and then it'll be ready for prime time.
Wow, you have made a great murder build!
I love this build log, so classy
I like the white tubes, looks nice :)
love it - that is a picture of pure perfection right there :up:
Well done my friend - you should be very proud of what you have done here :clap:
No, you have done enough already. Just relax and spend more time with the family. Do you still have the box? Just send it to me and I will finish it up. :DQuote:

Very nice build that you have there. :clap:
For the rocketfish that you painted, did you have to do anything special to keep spray paint from getting into the holes for the various screw holes? I've been thinking about painting my motherboard tray for a while, but am not very eager to do some trial and error with it :D
Wow man, just WOW!
*Kicks my computer*
I wish I had one like you!
Awesome work with everything! including all the picture perfect pictures!
Hmmm *Sniff* What's that? Maybe MDPC action here! ;)
Wow! This is without a doubt my all-time favorite build.
awesome pics again BA.
can i ask you about those rivets?
what size did you use or did they come with the murdermod backplate?
thank man
Thank you! Great comments like that make my day.Quote:

Your computer is fairly similar to mine and is a fantastic build. Cheer up mate! :) I do take that as a compliment though, so thanks a lot.Quote:

Wow, thanks!!! That's one of the best comments I could possibly imagine getting. I'm incredibly honored. Thank you.Quote:

very nice
very stylish,
the only thing I don't like so much are the sata-cables that are hanging around, but that my personal appeal, in general the case is looking very neat and tight ;) :up:
:) I just can't stop grinning.
Wow! Great Job man :up:
I hope mine turns out half as good as yours.
Hey BlueAqua,
Congratulations on an amazing build. I have been <ahem!> watching your progress with great interest and trepidation for a long time. I too am awaiting my MurderMod TJ07, but mine is being made in Germany by the other MurderMod partner, DualBrain.:toast: It seems great minds think alike, as in your build you have included many similar bits of hardware that I had also planned to use, but your mind is faster than mine :( One advantage for me, though, is that you have enlightened me in a few areas! But I have a couple of little questions for you. What have you got your top power switch hooked up to? And, how have you hooked up your Aquaero (did you need extension cables, what does it control etc)?
Well done once again, sweet build and riveting worklog. Any little nuggets of advice would be most welcome, PM me.
You're welcome!Quote:

When idle the fans are slow but when the water temperature raises by 2 degrees then the fans speed up to a faster speed to control the load. It really works great. The Aquaero is really a great tool, my 2nd machine with one.
If you want to know the details about ANYTHING, please PM me or post, I would be happy to try to help another Murdermodder achieve their desired results.
I've finalized almost everything in this build, but forgot to take pictures of the back... doh. I have some fancy LED lighting in the top too, but taking pictures of it is very challenging. Core i7 might be a consideration too, we'll see.
Great work as always my friend, system looks superb :up:
Sorry, I didn't make myself clear, but I think you already answered my query in a roundabout way!:rolleyes: I meant the switch at the top right on the back of the case, I am guessing this allows you to switch your lighting on/off?
Tell me all you did with your Aquaero, I have not used one before, but DualBrain recommended it. Do you use it to control your fans seperately, or have you linked them together with a splitter cable? Have you got you pump controlled with it? Do you have a flowmeter hidden in there?
On another note, funny you should say about Core i7.............:yepp:
<EDIT> Just re-read your post, specifically the Aquaero bit, properly. D'oh! What temp sensor did you use in the Res?
Thanks my friend. :)Quote:

Check out Aqua Computer's site for more info about the Aquaero. I recommend watching the video of it in operation so you can see it's abilities. I personally really like it and think it's a fantastic product. It looks great on the interior of the case too, and it lines up with the back of the dvd drive just perfectly. I need to capture some nice pictures of it.
Thanks Blue, can't wait to see some wallpapers of your preciousssss!:up:
