two small red connectors on the back, not exactly a main visual feature ;) not to mention I have lots of black DVI connector covers I could use on them if I really cared about it a ton, maybe put them on for the photo shoot but thats it

currently I am using a white sheet of formica ;) its a laminate (I think) that is rather thick and flexible, kind of similar to a plastic.

well, there is always the DIY lightbox setup made from foamcore, some pvc-pipe, and such - I know one of the guys around here uses one, maybe it's Kirk (BlueAqua)

Thanks a bunch Charles :D I use a lot of foam core / silver reflectors in this particular setup because it is just the one overhead light bank. In the larger set I make up soon I will add in two satellite left and right banks because the reflectors just wont cut it in this particular setup with the larger items.

but your photos have really great aspects and feel to them, some times less lighting is more if you know what I mean. ;) :up:

Thanks for sharing your lighting setup, SNiiPE. I like the formica background - probably much easier to work with than my ol' Office Depot poster board! I'm looking forward to learning to work with Strobes.

Cheers Ian. :)

Since I don't have a studio flash setup, I try to stick with the "keep it simple" philosophy. Reflecting natural light and shooting when the sun is low on the horizon is always favorable to incandescent lighting, IMHO. That being said, I miss the "pop" of studio strobes. In a past life, I had a decent Speedotron setup. Nothing beats the crispness of 1k+ watts of strobes. :)

The studio is a good thing, but then Daniels MurderMod was in your MurderLair and the background for photos was Vancouver citie it was amazing, beating any possible studio with softboxes etc.

I don't think he blurs it, he's just got some sort of a black sticker, or a black duct tape to hide the Canon logo, ya know some ppl hating, and other stealing, so sometimes when u got high-end stuff, or anything that looks expensive it's sometimes worth to hide it. Sorry for the OT.
Or maybe I'm wrong ;p

You've got a sharp eye rob :) all the logos and markers on the camera are taped over. My dad and I recently went to Paris and you cant let people see the make and model of the camera in a big city like that. The tape on the camera strap has a steel cable under it that prevents the strap from being cut off of your shoulder as well.

and no problem with the OT :D I like my thread to have a friendly atmosphere so everything goes :up:

I do the same, and I didn't thought you'd blur the name of the camera, and then tell us what this is ;) Better safe than sorry.

And yeah, the DVI connector are wrong.

Ok no problem, because on other forums I am on, you get a big notififaction when you get a new PM, so I thought you totally ignored it. :D Okay then, I also have a lot of work, end of the year at school, so take your time for your stuff. ;)

Looking for updates. SNiiPE_DoGG ... I know you're focusing on getting your panels done, but am really curious to see how you're going to set up your cooling. I see the 955 and 2 x 4890s and one pump. Will you be setting up a single loop, and with what radiator/s ? There is not much info on water cooling performance with the new AMD setups, so interested seeing how yours does.

Well in the OP I mentioned that I will be getting a Thermochill PA140.3 for the bottom chamber of the case. Secondly, the AMD processors are not very hot running ;) IIRC even overclocked they only put out about 130-150w heat.

so I will indeed be running a single pump-single loop with the CPU and the two video cards in parallel. The biggest reason I chose AMD actually (besides winning the CPU in a contest) was that its chipsets don't even come close to needing a waterblock so I can keep the loop simple and letting things flow :D:up:

about the panels - I took a look at the CNC router yesterday and I can definitely use it soon, It is absolutely insanely huge and powerful! each head is about 10" in diameter and has a self contained oil cooling system for the bit (there are 4 heads) when I bring my camera into work I will get some pics for you guys.

I am making an order from performance-pcs today and I will have more modding related updates soon. first order of business is the PSU :yepp:
06-02-2009, 06:57 AM
shazza

Thanks - I missed the 140.3. That'll certainly do the trick. I'm quite impressed with how cool the AM3 system runs, and just looking for more systems to compare to.

i will be watching this one closely cause i have almost the same system, very close to it

also i will be gonig W/C also this will be my 1st, very nice log so far Dogg ,keep it comming

love your work on the Thors Hammer Snipe! i got talked out of lapping mine a little while back because people fear mongered me into thinking id breach the heatpipes, but having seen yours lapped and looking beautiful i think its time to do the same :p:

it really IS a truly awesome looking cooler, i don't care if its better/worse/same as the TRUE, it damn well looks a thousand times better! my TRUE has been confined to dust gathering :ROTF:

cool man :) if you want a certain resolution of a pic or a crop I can make it happen, these are 22 megapixel shots so I have a lot of leeway

@mullet: definitely lap it, mine had some pretty iffy flatness in placesbut after the lap it was perfect :up:

@Dobro: yes it is all the bays, I dont care for CD drives in my computer - I only ever use them to install the occasional game and if I need some files I just use my laptop + my external drive.

you can kind of see the features in the reservoir I hope I can actually pull off the acrylic work :eek:

Still wondering mow much coolant that thing is going to hold ;)

Are you going to try to have it etched too? That would probably look pretty sweet in the front of the case etched with some LEDs in the front panel:up:

I'm not sure about the exterior elements (etching and such) but I am getting all the pieces laser cut so I will be able to add that in as I complete the design.

Made a McMaster order today, some cool stuff in there :)

*drool* I would LOVE to have some of Permafrost's and Flow's pictures as wallpapers at 1920x1200... I'm sure lots of others would too.

Wait a minute... An air cooler on the CPU? You mean to tell me that project flow doesn't have total and utter waterflow? Aww... Regardless, I am on the edge of my seat on this one!

I will try to get some 1920x1200's together tonight...

the air cooler is going away soon :p: I am setting up a water loop on the test bench for the cpu that will accommodate the rad being dumped in a salted ice water bucket :D

Your rad is going to live in a bucket? Or is that just for testing?

Any reason you chose the Phenom II over the ever-so-popular i7?

i7 is too hot, this (phII 955 + 2 x4890's) is going to be single loop with a TC PA140.3
06-11-2009, 09:43 AM
ctsoccer13

Only one PA140.3? With dual 4890s, I would've expected more rad. I'll be interested to see how your temps are.

BTW: I noticed you go to RPI and your avatar (assuming that's your frat). I have some friends who go to RPI that I interned with at Cisco one summer. I think the two guys are in SAE and the girl is in a sorority, just don't remember the letters.

4890s run cooler than 280s IIRC, and PII runs ice-cold compared to i7. A 140.3 should be plenty of dissipation when paired with decent fans.

SNiiPE_DoGG

the 140.3 should have close to 1000w of heat dissipation at 10c delta and considering that the PHII + 2x 4890 is less than 600w I think I will be able to punch out some nice results :)

Ah, I had no clue AMD/ATI was so cool (pun intended).:ROTF:

From my experience so far with the PII 955BE, SNiiPE_DoGG won't have any issues at all with the 140.3 rad. I'm running 2 x Magicool 240 rads and Low Speed Fans, with a 4870X2 in the loop, and temps are so low I thought something was wrong.
06-11-2009, 09:59 AM
SNiiPE_DoGG

Yep :) these are the fans I got for the rad, its a PA so these should pull some pretty good amount of air through.

This looks awsome Snipe....your skill and attention to detail go without saying....but how are you going to up the ante over Permafrost:shocked::shocked::shocked::shocked:

There are a lot of things modding wise I wish I had done better on permafrost, its what keeps me going I guess :)

Thanks Rise!
updates you said?

here is a single pic, sorry but I have just perfected my technique which took me longer than expected, more updates are coming up fast as I have recieved the end mills for the router from MCmaster and a whole bunch of goodies from P-pcs and Sidewinder :)
