^^^holy god, you taking a pick up truck right? hahaha
LOL Definitely :)
More updates! Did some fabbing while waiting for parts to arrive and orders to be filled.
http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z..._Progress1.jpg
OOOOO, you guys are in for it soon, got HUGE updates. Got all the rest of my parts in minus 2 hard drives and a rad, first loop is plumbed, fan covers fabbed and installed, custom screws replaced the old generic ones, both pumps have been mounted, and most of the wire management pieces have been painted and are curing before installation in the case. Starting to almost resemble a complete project WOOT! FINALLY!
hey we want proof PICS!! :D
Pics or it didn't happen! :up:
Lol shall I include pictures of the part where I took a metal bit to my case lol. I had to bore out the fan screw holes from 1/6th to 1/4" to accomadate the custom bolts I ordered. Yay!!! Next I get to drill holes for the drain ports ;)
I feel.... strange... taking a metal bit to a $600 case o.o
Yeah but that's what makes the build exciting knowing your modifying expensive parts to make your own creation. I think I have more fun building them then playing with them afterward. :up: Keep up the good work mate!
alright folks, picture time. Its late and no good light to shoot in, so this is just a couple of teasers for now. Believe it or not, ALL the cabling is run in these pictures, everything has power, everything is connected, and all the wire management is done.
Still to do:
Remount CCFL
Remount HD's and HD Bracket
Rig up 2nd loop (waiting on 2nd rad)
Fab 1 more fan grill (lol I miscounted by ONE, isn't that annoying?)
Figure out how to wire my switches correctly (anyone wanna point in the right direction on this one? The built in LED comes on but the switch doesn't function)
Mount the last three fan grills up front (after rad and last bracket come in and I fab up the last one))
Drill holes for fill and drain ports (I want my top ben! lol)
Run the fill and drain ports.
Test loops (after I figure out how to power up my PSU without having it squeel its balls off at me for now having enough drain on the rails >>)
Then it'll be done! WOOO!!!
Ok yah, enough chatter, pictures:
http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z...k/IMG_3332.jpg
The front, looking kind of naked still without that 2nd rad, DAMN YOU NCIX!! I paid an extra $50 just to get my 2nd one from PPC's just because I got sick of waiting after THREE WEEKS waiting on it, well that and PPC guys are awesome (thanks for taking care of me guys :up:)
http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z...k/IMG_3333.jpg
Here's the back, this is the final look for the back so you can kind of get a picture of how the rest of the case will look
http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z...k/IMG_3334.jpg
Here's the I/O area on the back panel, looking smooth after a ton of disassembling and painting.
http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z...k/IMG_3335.jpg
Here's for anyone wondering what exactly that copper stuff over my fans is, its well, copper. Copper CLOTH to be exact, just because I'm baller like that, and copper is awesome.
http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z...k/IMG_3336.jpg
Here's the dual pumps that will be running my loops. mmmm, bitspower + XSPC = win.
http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z...k/IMG_3337.jpg
more BP goodness. Better pics tomorrow, if Im not busy with turkey ;)
^^^ :::drools:::
The build looks great so far cutless. What mesh size did you choose for your copper cloth? I tested some 100x100 (mesh size) copper cloth that we've had in storage where I work for the last few years and it blocked 70% of the airflow from a 1500rpm s-flex. I knew it'd be bad, but gaaah!
I have several 12" x 12" sheets of stainless woven wire cloth on order from McMaster ranging from 24x24 (comparable to the plastic mesh filters that come with the Cooler Master cases) to 84x84 - 'gonna be interesting to see how they perform in my makeshift wind tunnel.
I went with 100x100 copper wire cloth for this application. It's actually quite see-through from straight-on, so I'm hoping it wont hinder performance too much. It really is beautiful to look at though. This rig isn't really meant for hardcore OC/benching, and the rads I have are basically overkill for what I'm using them for, plus I'm using high static pressure Ultra Kaze 38mm fans, so either way it shouldn't be bad, even if it does block 70% of airflow. Unless it causes unwanted noise etc I'm not really too worried about it.
*edit* - mcmaster concurs with your findings, stating that 100x100 mesh has an open area of about 30.3%. If you step it up to 1500x1500, it goes up to 44%, however at that point Id be worried about it breaking as soon as I tried to bend it, as thats very very very very VERY fine threads. (think about it, thats 15 times thinner than the 100x100, which is already like, freakin thin as hell).*/edit*
I spy a "Super Multi Blue Drive". :D
Check my sig out. My LG Burner just arrived today. :clap: That's pretty cool that you have one too.
yup good eye, that is indeed a blueray/hd dvd player/burner, and it has lightscribe, WOO!! lol :)
now all I need is n I7 rig :P LOL - nah, Ill wait till the first stepping revision before I touch that ;)
That's an "Everything and Then Some is Supported Drive" with LightScribe. Mine is slightly different. It has a small thin silver bar accross it that's the thickness of the power button, and has trick looking bars that go along it on the front bezel. They are cool. That LightScribe is neat, but wait until you get to see what the media cost! Make sure you ask them for a chair so you can sit down before they tell you the price. Those dang disks are expensive man!
A buck a pop doesnt seem too terribly bad man (30 disk spindle, 27.99, plus tax = ~$30). Granted a sharpie is cheaper, but then when you spend 6K on a computer, a buck a pop for anything sounds nice LOL.
Yeah I got used to a dime a piece CD-R's! hahaha
For that kind of media it ain't too bad, but it kinda shocked me from the price of CD-R's. It's good to have though. Keeps things Neat and professional looking. I like stuff like that. Can't wait to play with it. I'm gonna go nuts on the graphics. hehe :)
nice work good system
Moarrrr.....
WOOOO, just cut my first one inch hole for the first of two drain ports on the back of the PC, and the first of four total in the case (two on the top, and two on the back). I drained almost 2 full batteries drilling it, but it came out smooth as a babies bottom, more pics tomorrow guys! Turkey day was awesome, hope everyone else had a good one too!
[edit] oh yah, and I spent most of the day countersinking every screw on the back of the case, so none of them stick out at ALL anymore, they are perfectly flush with the case! What a difference![/edit]
Drain ports mounted, and some pictures of how the pumps are mounted (wooo UN design bracket combos!), and some pictures of most of the tubing run. Got my last rad in today, just waiting on some screws from mcmaster, and the last of the sleeving and shrink and fittings that I need to finish soldering the fans together and running the tubing, and the top from Ben so I can get the fill ports drilled mounted and the tubing run from them. Also got in my ball-valve fittings for the drain-plugs.

Looking good!
^^^^ jaw dropping. Wow, how much is that case again?
I like the location of the drain ports at the rear corners. I was hoping to put mine in the front corners, but they won't fit with the radiators installed. :(
If you put some modder's mesh between the fans and the copper cloth, it'll flatten out all of those ripples in the cloth w/o having much impact on airflow. Those ripples'd drive me nuts. :D I've picked up some modder's mesh for that very purpose and I think I'm going to need it now more than ever - I just found some 80x80 steel mesh with 0.0012" diameter wire. I have a small sample of the mesh now and it's awesome (over 80% open). Tho it's not *quite* delicate, I'd still worry about the fans sucking it up, so that modder's mesh will come in handy.
I love your black and copper theme!
I believe I paid just over $600 after shipping for the case, like $615 or something like that.Quote:

You should put some enzotech or swiftech ram sinks on the back side memory on the 4870X2s They would really go well with the theme and also cool those chips.
I would but Im at the end of my budget, so the stock sinks are going back on painted flat black to match the rest of the case :up:
That is really a monster of a case, but it looks pretty good. Are you going to fill up the empty 5.25" bays?
Seriously considering, putting two Alphacool dual bay LCD readouts there to monitor clock speeds on the outside of the case, but only if budget allows.
It's funny cause when I made those Brackets this was exactly how I pictured them being used. Nice Job the build looks fantastic!
Wow... I looked at those pics and was :shocked:. Awesome work man! I kinda like that case i might consider it for my next rig that I build.
I really like the build, but I'm wondering how much the copper cloth is blocking airflow.
same question here !!??Quote:

Im also using high static pressure fans to help compensate. If it hinders performance too much Ill have to come up with something else, although I really dont want to have to.
Even if the current copper mesh does hurt your performance too much, I wouldn't completely give up on the idea... 'just need to find a mesh that's open enough to give you the airflow that you need to meet your performance numbers while still having enough copper wire in the weave to give you the look you want.
I did a quick test on a 43x43 stainless mesh (.005" wire, 61% open) last night and was surprised to find that it only reduced the airflow by about 15%. It's probably just a *little* bit too open to give you the look that you want (with copper wire), but I bet a 60x60 mesh with a .004" wire diameter would give you the look without having much impact on the airflow.
Here's what the 43x43 mesh looks like with steel wire (and modders mesh in front of it). It's actually a little bit more transparent than what the photo shows - you can barely make out the fan in the photo. This was just thrown together quickly for this photo:
http://www.scottallyn.com/images/Mou...43x43-mesh.jpg
Hmmm, I actually wouldnt mind if it was a bit more seethrough, you used 43x43 you say? I might have to order up some mesh and copper cloth to try that out.
Hmm, the cloth I used was 100x100 with .0045 wire thickness, but its only 30.3% open.... hmm... gonna see if I can find ~60% open wire cloth.
Very nice, however it looks like your mobo is bending.

Its been discussed in another thread, it came like that, and it does it even just sat on a flat surface with nothing on it. Its been suggested that I just leave it like that since thats how it came so I dont destroy bus paths etc.
P.S. Note to self and others, when testing Scythe Ultra Kaze 38mm high static pressure high speed (3,000rpm) fans, DO NOT TOUCH THE BLADE. HOLY CRAP *rubs numb finger*
If you can wait until the middle of the week, I should have the following steel meshes here to test with my anemometer:
20x20, .009" Wire, 67.2% Open
24x24, .0075" Wire, 67.2% Open
30x30, .0065" Wire, 64.8% Open
42x42, .0055" Wire, 59.1% Open
43x43, .0045" Wire, 61% Open
58x58, .0045" Wire, 54.6% Open
60x60, .0045" Wire, 53.3% Open
70x70, .0037" Wire, 54.9% Open
84x84, .0035" Wire, 49.8% Open
The 80x80 mesh that I have with the .0012" wire diameter is only 3" square - too small for me to test, but when I blow thru it, it's like it's not even there (over 80% open).

-yonton228/timmy
:rofl: I got that very same fan about two weeks ago so that I could use it for testing in my little wind tunnel (made of fan bodies). I had the fan powered up and was holding it in my hand while shifting my seating position. I moved enough to pull the fan cable taut and lost my grip on the little beast so that it fell right into the palm of my hand while spinning at 3000 rpm. Then there was screaming and dancing!Quote:

Are you sourcing these from McMaster, or elsewhere?
All are from McMaster with the exception of the 43x43 and the 80x80 - those are from TWP (twpinc.com). I ordered a 12" square sheet of each from McMaster so that I could test them before buying a larger sheet to use for filters in the new case.
Great work, looks incredible
Wow this build is amazing. But I find it funny how you bought the best of everything and decided to save couple bucks on the 4870x2 WB.
Why not, all the blocks work the exact freakin same o.o
I mean think about it, its a chunk of copper, touching hot things, does the name on it really matter? Theres got to be less than ~1c difference if any between these blocks.
Just like 4870x2 will max every game on the market regardless of solo or crossfire (in some cases quadfire performs worse O.o). I personally thinks EK's 4870x2 blocks looks much nicer than a XSPC one, maybe it's just me :p:.
thats awesome.Quote:

Hah! Thanks, but trust me... you don't want me teaching you to play the guitar! I'm way too irritable and impatient - we'd probably be smashing guitars over each other's heads within 20 minutes. :fight:
Cutless, check that Kaze thread you posted. That display issue seems to eba common one. I posted a post about a long 2 months of trying to deal with it and with Skythe.
Nice, looks like I'll be returning these :down: Thanks for the heads up T_Flight, can you reccommend a fan controller that actually works for me?
How sad that a scythe product doesnt work with its own fans o.o
Fun, fun, FUN stuff:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpWTqENH434
T_Flight, maybe this will you help you out with your problem as well? I know I'll be sending this to scythe along with a receipt and asking for a refund since I cant use these bloody things *sigh*.

I tried to work with these folks, and dammit I wanted to come on here and say "I have a cure for those of you experiencing issues with the Kaze Master controller and Ultra Kaze 3000's". I really did. I kept quiet about this, becasue i'm not one to go blaming products and downing them. i like to take the approach of helping cure issues and keeping things in a positive light, but I just could not sit here and watch somebody have the exact same problem and not say anything. Especially when over a two month period I have not received but one e-mail from them acknowledging my claim. After that all electronic correspondence has been ignored. I've called them a couple times out of maybe 5 or 6 and was told that the rep would call me back, and he never followed up with me. Not one time. Everytime I've spoken with them, I've literally had to "catch" during a game of phone tag.
I work with places. I like doing it. I like working with this stuff. if there is a problem I might have been able to help them, but they never followed up with me. I never wanted anything out of it. Only to see that it would keep others from having the same issue, but it didn;t work out that way. I came on here today and what did i find? The exact same issue. I do not want to get into the details of what I was told over the phone, but will say it's not adding up.
I am also going to talk with my e-tailer aboutt his issue. I don't want him to have to "eat" these things due to something that he has no control over. This is definitely an issue and that video is ********EXACTLY******** what mine is doing. I mean precisely, and it will do it every single time. You can cut up two fans, and then sdtart to cut up the third and before you reach 2200 rpm you get a funkadelic screen like a watch the batteries are dying on, and thena click followed by zeroes accorss the board, and the only way to reset it is to disconnect the molex or power down the PSU completely cold via the PSU switch and rthen recycle.
I am seriously trying to work through issue like this. I couldn't begin to describe to you folks the ammount of work I have put into this machine. If I told you, you probably wouldn;t believe me. Until i get some pictures up and get something lookign presentable it's "pictures or it didn't happen" and believe me, I want to get through these dang problems so I can buold a system that works. Maybe that will help some people. That's why I am here, to seek some help from experienced folks, and maybe try to give back a little bit of that.
I'm with you man, a company needs to stand behind their products, if they dont get something done, I have an aunt who is any companies worst nightmare, its the standing joke that when we cant get something taken care of we "sick" her on them, haha, she always gets what she wants out of a company ;)
HMMMM, what could THIS be?!

OK, you fooled me with the asterisks. I counted them and they came out to "Pedestool", and I got to thinking "Man, he'd have to take a bunch of stuff apart to do that", but that wasn't it. I had thought about the panel covers, but it didn;t fit the asterisks. Those are very cool looking. :)
It's actually a slightly modified electrical symbol :up: WEWT
It is pretty cool looking.
It was funny because I kept thinking and said to myself "Surely he is not gonna all that apart." :D
Yup should be badass, gonna put acrylic behind it and modders mesh behind that :up:
Coolio.......
w00! The steel meshes are "Out for Delivery", Cutless. I'll probably play around with them this evening but my monitor at home is dead (actually, it's just the power brick that is dead), so I won't be able to post anything until tomorrow.
cant wait man :up: just waitin on those results before I order the new stuff.
Holy crap, that's a lot of fittings! lol Looking good so far but will having the fill port on the top panel make it a bit more difficult if you ever want to remove that panel?
Nice video update.
Beauty is never easy :up:

I tested my cloths/meshes this evening; I'll post some numbers from work tomorrow. The copper isn't actually as bad as I initially thought - at least not in terms of air flow. The first piece of copper mesh that I tested was *very* tarnished. The piece I tested tonight was shiny and clean... and only knocked down the air flow by about 40%. It created a hellacious amount of wind noise with the Ultra Kaze, tho... way more than the other meshes.
More tomorrow...
Here are the numbers from my quickie wire mesh and fan grill testing:
http://www.scottallyn.com/images/Mou.../mesh-data.png
...and a few photos of my crude little wind tunnel and the meshes/grills (click on 'em for larger images):
http://www.scottallyn.com/images/Mou...eshes-thmb.pnghttp://www.scottallyn.com/images/Mou...front-thmb.pnghttp://www.scottallyn.com/images/Mou...-rear-thmb.png
For each mesh/grill, I noted the anemometer reading with the filter installed on the intake side of the wind tunnel and then again immediately after removing the filter. There's some turbulence inside the tunnel which caused my anemometer readings to bounce around a bit, so I just averaged out the numbers over a period of a few seconds and noted the before/after numbers for each mesh.
The main thing that I wanted to check with these meshes is their noise level with the Scythe S-Flex fans but figured that, since I actually have a little anemometer, I may as well check the air flow. Almost all of the meshes/grills are noisy when installed directly adjacent to the fan body, so I used an extra fan body as a shroud - made a world of difference, especially with the Ultra Kaze.
I'm probably going to go with the 43 x 43 mesh for my own case (mostly because I already have 12 feet of it). It's a tight enough weave that it should keep most of the pet fur and much of the dust from entering the case, yet it still allows for good airflow and won't create any extra wind noise in my setup. If I didn't already have all of that 43 x 43 mesh, I'd probably go with the 60 x 60 - it'll catch even more dust and still allows for decent air flow.
I think that copper mesh is too restrictive - even without looking at the numbers, you can just *feel* the difference at the end of the wind tunnel. With that weave as tight as it is, it won't take very long to build up an accumulation of dust and fur, which'll make the mesh even *more* restrictive - it'd probably require daily cleaning and I'm waaaay too lazy for that!
I'm sure there are flaws in my setup and test procedure but it told me what I needed to know - maybe it'll be useful to you guys. :)
Edit: Here's a close-up of some mesh swatches to show (more or less) their "transparency" level (Click the image to see *all* of the swatches in the full-size photo):
http://www.scottallyn.com/images/Mou...tches-thmb.jpg
I didn't have any time to set that photo up, but it looks about right. The swatches are the first 10 meshes in the table above, in order from left to right, top to bottom.
Thats completely awesome scott, can you post a picture of each of the mesh's so I can get a feel for what they look like aesthetically as well please?
Soldered the second set of three fans together, one more to go!

Nice soldering and sleeving, planning to hook them to a single fan controller?
Very nice test. Just want to double check is a c ryan's filter unnoticable quiet?(thinking about low speed fans and a quiet set up).Quote:

Should be some major updates next week, has to be finished by next week friday, maybe the following monday if some things pan out, but definitely must be done asap. Its getting close, this is final build right now, except Im trying to find a temp display that lets you hook up BP two-prong temp sensor stop-fittings to.
o.O its amazing what people fit into these MM cases
MM cases are really big, but I think tall and slim better than cube
Yep, for some people. I got one becasue of the ease of fitting stuff. I have the perfect place to set it though on top of small entertainment center like setup that's made for a stereo and the square TV's. Since my WS didn't fit on it the WS is on my desk, and the my Ext Ascension will stand proudly on top of that stack. I wanna get a picture of this place once I get it cleaned up. It's kinda embarrassing right now becasue this room is a disaster area. I have boxes, packing material, and stuff everywhere. Just a complete disaster. I'll post some pics in time. Might even give some guys here some ideas.
Anyhow, don't wanna clutter up Cutless' thread with my build. Just some suggestions. They ARE huge.
Very huge. In fact Im "downgrading" to a MM Tower next build just cuz this thing was such a beast to work on! Be nice to get back to a good ole case, reverse atx ftw, CANT WAIT!
