@ DVL73: Dude that looks wicked sick, total pwnage (at least cosmetics) but yes, please do replace that DDC res with a real res and a normal Alphacool DDC top.
@ Hungry: As posted in your thread, it looks nice, but you should check out that T connector and switch it out with a Y connector so that the block recieves some flow.
@DNottis: I can see someone likes UV lol :p:
Usama aka Ferrari Freak
@DVL73: i love it... very very very nice job...
@ferrari_freak & @JoeBar
I did put the disclaimer (in the main post) that I'm ready to sacrifice the substance for a style, as I really like the res look, with the bay window in front :D apart from the fact that practically I can revert back to just T-line + Fillport (my previous set-up) and plexi top.
It's so relaxing watching all that pretty blue water rushing in & jumping in the plexires :) It's effective to, as it gives "dynamic" (may I say alive) PC look. I had couple of (non technical) friends at my place and they were stunned with the PC. Couldn't take their eyes from it :cool: for a loooong time. Yes, I know it's just a "bling", but hey, I guess that I still believe that it's possible to mix the fashion & form, even when we are talking about the uninsping PC.
There are better res out there that have great looks and don't hinder performnace... ;)
Can someone tell me the inner diameter of the Alphacool plexi top?
Look at the pic... it doesn't look very wide to me.
Doesn't it defeat the purpose of 11mm (7/16") ID tubing?
To me it's like a chain: as strong as its weakest link.
Plz correct me if I'm wrong, I currently have a Swifty MCP655 so I may be talking crap :p:
this is a picture thread so discuss this somewhere else. just search i littlebit!

Poor Eheim and right angles. Looks beautiful.
Looks great but that thing on the front is hideous :(
Wow. That is insanely cool.

Only *just* finished the system around 30 mins ago and it's running nicely, need to do a big tidy up and hide some sins :p
Can't really compete with a lot of cases here in aesthetics at the moment, hopefully will look much better when it's finished.

My god that tubing is thick. How did you make that hole for the t-line cap?
I know, it rocks :D. I used a 1" holesaw with a bit in the middle for the tline cap. I didn't measure, nor did I tape anything. I just kind of made sure nothing was near it, made sure it was fairly center and drilled away. Came out awesome, too. Not one bit of silver aluminum is showing around the cap. :D
how are your temps, NickS? curious since you have 2 120 rads in there.
NickS, Ilike that colour scheme. I like it so much it is what I am in the process of building with my black v1000 :)
And if you don't mind me asking, what is the water additive you are using?
@ Aiya, they're great. :) Anywhere from 34-38*C load for CPU (depending on room temp) and 30-40*C idle-load for GPU depending on room temp. :)
@ Munnsyr, thnx man :) I'm using Pentosin G11 blue. You can find it cheap @ PetrasTechShop.com :D

Nice job Adaman! But is it just me of the tube going out of your t-line to your pump is kinda bending a bit too much?
It is a pretty tight bend. I'm considering putting some cool sleeves on it.Quote:

@ adamant415
in the front on your lian li it seems as though you have a dual/triple bay cooler...??
is that a lian li hard drive cage, or is it like a scythe "kama bay", if so where did you get either from (and could you mount a 3.5" disk behind the kama bay if it is indeed that???)..
cheers,
houlty
I FINALLY have my build set up for good!!!
Dont laugh at my use of tape, or foam for the HD cage.
I used a bit too much tubing in a few places but it is fine until I rebuild in 2008.
I'll either extend the pump out or turn the case to make the t-line vertical to bleed... Probably do that for a week and then she is going to be closed and locked and the key is going to be thrown away... I have been slowly working my way to this machine since about April and she is finally done. (Well, gonna add another exhaust fan but that is nothin')

It is a scythe kama bay. I used it to mount the fan and radiator. You could mount a 3.5" disk behind it, but not with a fan and radiator.Quote:

But the bubbles make it a little more interesting looking than solid water :p:Quote:

plenty dangerous, you never know when a certain ddc might get itself stuck upQuote:

OK. I know almost nothing about watercooling at this point, so please have patience with this n00b, I'll be asking questions every so often :)Quote:

Threads like this one are inspiring....
Modding this stacker to fit a pa 120.3 in the bottom took me way longer than I thought it would. The stacker's designed to fit a 2x120mm rad in the bottom so some metalwork is required, but that's half the fun, right?
With thanks to Clokker for the inspiration.
EDIT: redid my loop thanks to SDkevin's rec.

New image shows reworked clamps, and filter - since I had to drain the loop to rework the clamps, I have to filter the water again.

@vyper: re-clamp your T-Line, it is wrong! URGENT!
Edit: you shouldn't clamp at the tip of the barbs, I'm surprise that nothing is loose yet :) you should push the tube all the way in and clamp at the body of barbs not at very tip of the barbs
LOL! I just did the Same kind of mOdification to my Stacker, so it can fit a PA120.3 Used a Jig saw and soem other tools. It looks a lot more Home made than yours but it's clean and works perfectly ;) So many ways to Work on these Stackers! Ive seen so many Different watercooling set-up in that case that i had a lot of ideas on how to mount things when i build my first WC set-up in it (Of Course half were nto good lol). Now im at my second WC kit installed in it and i felt like it needed some Hard core Mod's to fit a Nice\Clean WC Set-up! Ill take some pics this morning!
Nice job! Vyper!
@Patriote: yeah, can't wait to see the pics. Like others have said, the Stacker's a forgiving case, it'll take a lot of punishment and still come out looking halfway ok. Meanwhile, I've got a lot of work ahead of me redoing my loop on account for my n00bness. :(
I feel left behind :( . Lol been planning on getting my first water cooling loop, but our friend Petra still hasn't managed to release his DDC top! Maybe I'll just bite the bullet and go with the Alphacool top but I haven't heard too many good things about PPCs lately. And damn Vyper the PA120.3 is huge. Dunno if I should install on the top of the case or the bottom... The top would look better because it would hide the rad and have a shmexy grill on the top but the bottom would allow for easier bleeding because res would be the highest point in the loop and also allow for easier wire management.... Aaaahhh.... Decisions decisions.. Advice?
Usama aka Ferrari Freak
I agonized for days and nights about whether to go top or bottom with the PA 120.3 - it's beast sized and the stacker won't take it without some modding. In the end, I went with bottom because:
1) there's so much space down there - at the top you have to worry about the psu and wires, the motherboard and peripherals, as well as the stock 80mm blowhole. Plus that plastic cap (for want of a better description) gets in the way of things.
2) I wanted push/pull with 6 yate loons and there just wouldn't be space at the top for that much radiator
3) Small temp difference between the top of the case and the bottom.
4) Slightly easier to bleed
Unless you plan on mounting it on the outside on top? But why, when the stacker is so roomy?
Creidiki put hit 120.3 in the front of his stacker. Also I hope you fixed the tubing problem and put them all the way onto the barbs.
I'll prolly put it bottom with 3 Yates because I need the front for other things.

SDkevin..awesome work
That is a PA120.3 in the bottom? ..fans in a pull setup?
Doesnt PSU block some of the fan performance?
The HDD mounts are fixed on the top and bottom as well...did you have to modd that as well?
Hey SDkevin, can you post a pic of the bottom of the case? How did you mod it to allow the fans of the rad to pull fresh air?
sdkevin: thats how i am going to (attempt to) mount my rad in the bottom of my v1000. Although I am not going to have the hdd there as well... Very nice setup.
Yes PA120.3 is at the bottom w/ pull configuration, PSU doesn't block the fan performance since this is a pull configuration, PSU only block the part of airflow but it doesn't matter at all on this setup. I have the HDD rack cutting in half and reverse it so I can have better wire management, w/ pull configuration which helps to cool my hard drives very well, not only I have fresh air pull into system and provides somewhere airflow to PSU tooQuote:

BTW, my case is not on the floor :) too dangerous at the floor, as far as I know carpet is radiator killer. I had my case on the table at all time so dust don't get into my case that much, I did the mod w/ jigsaw
Those are some nice cutting lines man. Nice job. Close ups of the DelRez!

so you can unscrew the HDD mounts and reattach them? wow..your work is awesome...Quote:

And boom the hole was Completed after an hour. Filed of the sides of the hole and added some Black Electrical Tape all around the hole and it was done.

I recently did a new build around a x1900 crossfire card I got a good deal on. Several hundred $'s on top of that led to this. I had the following goals...
1. high performance on demand / low power idling
2. Efficient
3. Quiet
I am absolutely blown away on how good this computer does on all three fronts. :woot: The Opteron 148 runs at 2.76Ghz (11x251) in games and at 1.02GHz (5x104) idling and using low power apps like DVD viewing. (Thanks to RightMark's RMClock and microGuru from ABIT). In quiet mode, it is essentially inaudible and the system has enough reserve heat dissipative capacity to run the fans at 7 or 8 volts and still handle stress tests like Madden 07 at 14xAA 1600x1200 with flying colors, e.g. CPU at around 45C.
Other watercooling stuff in there...
Thermochill PA 120.3 <----THE RADIATOR for low airflow usage!
Swiftech 6002 (CPU) and MCW60's (GPU's)
Swifttech pump (The blue one...you know the one!)
I don't think you care what HDD's, keyboards, mice, power cords, etc. I use so I won't put in the whole list. Case is the Lian-Li PC-G70 with the optional HDD rack installed. I removed the original HDD rack to make room for the radiator. Great case BTW.

I have a Stacker T01. They're nice and all but nothing really for looks, but man, vkbms, that has got to be the sexiest Stacker I have ever seen. Good job man. And I like your rad mount on the bottom Patriote, will prolly do as you did.
