Personally, no idea, I took the PCI-e bracket in and told him I wanted that, he said, "Ahh, textured black, we can do that" and that was it, turned out great! :)

Such a beautiful build, ding! Totally feeling the textured black.
I've always been an admirer of your sleeve color selection. I would have chosen purple tubing though err... purple liquid.
I remember back in the day, Hulk always had purple pants for some reason. :p:

More please!

Mips for sure, can use your own barbs :) VERY easy to install, take the top heatsink off the dominator (3 screws per stick) and you're done, just place the block ontop and screw it on.

Small update for you all.

Meet the twins, twins, meet the audience...

(I'll be using a black 90*)

http://i49.tinypic.com/2evvxp0.jpg

Not all is glamour, as you can see, the 90* hits the backing, so, I need one of THESE but it's around $20AUD shipped for the fitting + it'll take around 2 weeks. I should be able to work around it though, even if I have to use 2 45*'s together. We'll see what happens. My reservoir should be here in ~2 weeks so that means I'll be at completion!

Yeah, seen them, but, for some reason I think the black sparkle will look nicer, breaks up all the black :)

Yep, I think you are bang on with that.
I intend to only use the black sparkle BP fitting on my build, hopefully starting in Jan 2010.

Loving the twins, ding! Black sparkle and Matte Black do go well together. :up:
Looks like everything is coming together this time 'round much smoother.

But ouch for $20.00AUD for an extender. :(
When I was in Aussie, a 750ml bottle of bourbon was close to $40. Ouchie.

Yeah, I know, we pay a premium over here, for no reason. Prices should be MUCH lower for everything but they raise the price, cause they can.
$40, yep, you're smack bang on that. :shakes:

Damm right we do, for everything.
It makes me cring when I see the prices over in the states, you can add 30+% just for the fun of it over here.

As to the "old and wise modder with 30 years of watercooling and casemodding experience" not true, especially not the old bit, well I am getting there at 37 years old I guess.
But what I do bring to the table is 20+ years of fabrication skills working in a variety of industries from welding fabrication of truck bodys to striping and re-building blast drills rigs on gold mines,
to a wood machinist in a salvage yard, I like a change, to mix things up a bit.
I do know my way around steel, aluminium, perspex, wood and worked with high PSI hydraulics before. Thats how I found out I hate grease, oil and most of all black jack.

As to the water cooling PC side of thing and building a PC from the ground up,
you could probably teach me a thing or two.

The most important thing I have learnt in life is "All I know, is nothing at all" and I really do mean that, there is just so much knowladge out there, a life time of learning wouldn't even scratch the surface.
The best thing anyone can do is seek out the people with the knowladge that they need/want, listen and ask (hopefully) intelegent questions.

Thats why I am here at XS, I feel it's the best place to learn about WC PC and pass on a little knowladge to others, I hope you don't feel I have miss led you in any way.
I am really looking forward to starting this building as well.

Postman came today! Usually he comes in the morning but he came in the afternoon today, I was VERY eager to receive this package.

EK Supreme HF!! Let me say, EK are top quality, they've recently moved to a new box design and it really helps sell the product, packaging is even better too!

Here we go.

http://i49.tinypic.com/152kdu8.jpg

Nice box inside the cover

http://i48.tinypic.com/r94e28.jpg

What's inside?

http://i47.tinypic.com/2s8iqsm.jpg

EK have everything needed now for a liquid loop, apart from their own fans/tubing, I'm expecting to see some kits soon.

http://i49.tinypic.com/t9ebv9.jpg

Well packaged!

http://i50.tinypic.com/minkuq.jpg

Oh my!

http://i45.tinypic.com/2a7d6ba.jpg

Quality.

http://i47.tinypic.com/24msytx.jpg

Interesting....EK's rebranded MX-2 :) Nice thermal paste to come with a block!

http://i47.tinypic.com/2yzemmu.jpg

Here she is! *drools*

http://i47.tinypic.com/jfgql2.jpg

With her 2 big "bits" :)

http://i48.tinypic.com/awyohw.jpg

The jet plates. No, I won't be designing my own :)

http://i50.tinypic.com/21blwgj.jpg

Her with the dress off

Cheers, I think the jet plates differ for different pressure/flow. So, depending on your loop, they may have a slight temp difference,

I was hoping I'd be the first around these parts to sport Eddy's new HF. :p:

Ah, well.. I'll have mine in a couple of weeks. We'll differ somewhat since I'm going w/ the plexi top. Looking good there. I like Eddy's overall makeover that he's done with the website, packaging, etc. Looks great.

Haha, their logo is also very similar and reminds me of Etnies shoes, my friend has a pair and when I first saw his shoes I had to look twice, wasn't sure if he was cooling those things!

Love the fittings. Looking into those for Project Slumber Parties on White tubing. Only thing is everywhere I look they treat a bunch of them like gold. Its cheaper to just get silver and get them powdercoated. LOL I'm still a cpu, fittings, tubing, coolant, silver away from getting PSP up and going. Sigh.

Hey all.

You know how I got that 5850? Well, I sold it about 5 minutes later, my friend kindly offered me a new card which I couldn't resist :D This will be my 2nd last update before I go away on the 18th Jan - 28th Jan for a holiday right before school starts again. During that time, I'll have my FINALLY 3 parcels delivered which means when I get back, you'll see multiple updates from me and last but not least... a finished build! (fingers crossed). There is still one slight twist to come, more on that when my reservoir arrives.

Anyway, nude shots will come soon! :)

This is my last update before I go away (tomorrow, for 10 days) I'm still deciding what reservoir to go with, wait for Iandh's res, or, just go with the EK250 res. Ian's reservoir is much better IMO, it's just the wait that will kill me as it's the LAST thing I need for my build.

Anyway, my EK package arrived which I was expecting during my holiday! It only took 4 business days to get here which is SUPER quick! The problem that I had was that the stock OR EK backplate hit the MIPS block, this is an issue ONLY with my board blocks AFAIK and a backplate will not hit the blocks on a classified. I couldn't change my layout as it would have been too hard, *Out comes the dremel...ZEEEEEEEEEEEE ZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

It now fits like a glove and looks pretty cool too. (sorry bout the dust guys!)

http://i47.tinypic.com/j5f3es.jpg

One thing I was amazed at is EK actually thought about us users with 1/2"ID 3/4" OD compressions this time, you do NOT need to use a 45* or 90* for once! w00t.

Back from holidays!

Got my new reservoir yesterday, EK250 res, then sold it in about 5minutes, I know, I could have finished the build but I just bought a different/better/you'll see reservoir which got shipped minutes ago., via express of course. It'll be here early next week I hope, then, the HULK will/should be completed :) There is still one little suprise...

Well, here is a small update to keep you occupied until I get my final piece for the build early next week :)

Sorry about the picture quality, I forgot to turn ISO back down to 80 so there is a lot of noise.

Meet the twins.

And here is the Lamptron Flex Light strip which will light up my WHOLE system.

Once again, I'd just like to thank my sponsors.

Wow! Love the twins, James. I can't wait to see how the flex lights up your system (show night shots!) I'm glad to hear you're nearing the finish line on this incredible build but sad that I don't get to see more surprise updates.

Always been a fan of your color choice on sleeving and you certainly didn't disappoint again.

Do I win anything if I guess the res correctly?

Anyway. This looks sick! The colours are just perfect!

Hehe, yes, the 2 pumps connected to each other will result in more flow/powa.

Hey guys!

THE INCREDIBLE HULK IS ALIVE! Yes...you heard me!

Finally shots won't be until Fri/Sat as I'm EXTREMELY bussy until then. Sorry about that!

Anyway, here are my shots of my new reservoir made by Iandh himself, these are a masterpeice and will be available from sidewinder.com soon, so sit tight. The reservoir is very unique, especially the clamps, they really do look "stealth." I'll keep this short and show you some pictures -

nice dingle!!! Ive been hitting refresh at sidewinder every hour now since I heard the news that iandh was releasing it there (couple days ago).... you're a lucky guy :P

keep up the good work, very pleasing to the eye...

p.s. I copied your idea to hide the mobo tray holes/ lower PSU area... although i took the lower piece past where u did and bent it around the corner of the mid-plate..... just thought i would let you know :P haha

I think so, they're definitely metal :P They're also spring loaded and have an anti-clipping coat on them so they're as touch as bricks. I can't see ANYONE breaking these.

All I can think is "finally, a case mod with no Bloodrage, Classified or red anywhere!". It looks great.

Looking good, James. Can you show a pic (or describe) the ports on each end of iandh's res (since you are so special and have one early ;) )

Glad it's back together!
And the case upgrade is nice too.

Your balance of colors is exquisite.

Thanks Shazza, quick explanation for you. The bottom 3 ports are like an EK cylinder, pretty standard, except, the bottom DOES have an inbuilt Anti-Cyclone which is great and keeps those vortex's away. The top port is for filling and allows you to fill the reservoir above the tube into the hollow cap so you can NOT see any water line :) Pretty sweet but basic feature!

They are laser cut steel sheet, the housings are tig welded, and then the fingers are rubberized and assebled with the housings using high grade machine screws.

These are built to be a one time purchase.

You're the first customer on planet earth with one of these in hand btw...

I believe that some more thorough pics showing that should be on the "official" thread for these in the LC section. :)

Thanks iandh for clarifying that.
I am really impressed that you have made some holding brackets with such high quality.
It was the weakest part of res's like this.

The fact that have high quallity parts and "These are built to be a one time purchase." I feel is a really good thing.

Well done mate. :up:

Awesome score, James!

Just in case the excitement makes you forget and not that I don't think you will, but sharing more res pics installed to your already amazing lookiing build would be a super awesome eye-candy surprise. :up:

I'm jealous.. (but I don't have that kind of money to spend on a rig.) :lol: I've been wanting that case since pre-production, but the price won't let me.

a teaser indeed... looks great! cant wait to see more shots :D

a question...

do those screws pose any problem with your window,or did you modify it to make it work? ...the window on mine sits flush with mid-plate; its a little bit tighter now with the 18 gauge steel panel in there; dont know if i can put button head screws in there... maybe if i went counter sunk...
