Which block comes first in each leg?
That is to be determined. I was planning on the Apogee first, then the Fuzion, but if the other way round works better I'll do that instead. Note this won't see any overclocking, given the type of board it is, so a couple degrees won't be a big deal either way. The whole aim of watercooling this was more for silence and the "cool" factor than anything else :D
Make sure to bling it up with UV tubing, UV lighting, and....n/m, it's in a cardboard box, man. ;)
You know, I think I have a green cold cathode around here someplace, I should stick that in there for the fun of it :rofl:
Why don't you go ahead and build a LEGO castle in there while you're at it!
Or... dude, a case made out of lego? :eek: :rofl:
Cool and innovative casing.

What's next, styrofoam? :D
Thats messed up :rofl:Quote:

PSU is mounted too, and have the wires I need in there. Not pretty, but I'll organize the wires later.

And in case you're wondering, yes, I am going to run in the cardboard "case" for a little while.
looks a bit weird to get all this expensive material in a card-board case... but i like it ;)
We can haz multiple angles of t3h cardboard case?
just put a little support piece across the top from one cardboard piece to the other. that will help the rigidity of the "case"
You might be an addict ^^^^^ when this happens:rofl:Quote:

I'm hoping to get it filled up and running tonight, but if not then it should happen tomorrow :)
Go Sparky GO!!:clap::up::D
The pump won't stay running :confused: :( It runs a little bit, stops, restarts, stops, restarts.... It starts up and gradually revs to near full speed before stopping and restarting. Is the D5 supposed to gradually get up to speed or be near instant like the DDC?
*edit* hang on, I think I've got voltage drop on the 12V power supply I'm using...
*edit2* nope, not the power supply. It starts up, gets up to near full speed, stops, and tries again, with each try spinning less and less until it barely even tries. Crap.
*edit3* and to add insult to injury, my res is leaking :shakes:
yikes when it rains it pours. just don't let it pour on that board. stay with it!
So whats the latest?
Very interesting build :D
Ok! But fill it with careful :yepp:Quote:

I'm sorry I totally forgot to update this. Hrm.
Basically, my pump was DOA :( Got that taken care of (well mostly, still need to send in the dead one for replacement, long story). Got it filled, got it running, and... well, it looks the same as the pics above, I left it open like that :rofl:
So, here it sits, on the desk, running :up:

I don't have a screenshot of the temps, but the CPUs run at the low temp of about 38C full load. I guess that is cool enough... :ROTF:
No, the hard drive and DVD drive are not mounted to anything yet. The SATA cables are too short to reach all the way from the top to the bottom.
Nice work Sparky, inspiring to say the least.
OCM :up:
Well done!
It's very funny, but I think it's cool too :)
