Evil I'll pay for shipping on that dead Q9450 since it's dead.

At least it would be pretty to look at :(

Do you plan on taking the IHS off? Take pics, I've only seen a Q6600 without an IHS, never a 45nm quad. :)

update :up:

i got a Q9550 (C1.. wish it was a E0) and a slot feed dvd burner
worst part is i got 2 stuck sensors... what is up with that? super
bad luck or something? i hate that.. one of the reasons why i tried
to RMA my Q9450.. i had 1 stuck sensor and now i got 2! its so annoying...

and im getting some REALLY weird temps, but i can trust them because
of the sensors :(

you think sensors ever unstuck themselves?
anyways, i put a fatter heatsink on the NB and it loads at 35C (via smart guardian)
havent decided where to put the rom yet, maybe side ways next to the PSU

well see, cheers

thanks :up:

someone talk me into buying more stuff... :p:

i need another CPU block, i gave my dtek v2 to my gf well because her
apogee drive fitting broke when i was draining and refill her loop... :rolleyes:

ive got the supreme on the none fuctional homewrecker and i plan to leave
it there but since its not in commission i guess i could use it first..

you guys think a MCR320 could handle a Q9550 (OCed moderately probably like @ 4... :rolleyes:) and the two 4870s... ha

unless my CPU stays on AIR :mad: which i rather not... lol

i wish sleeping wasnt so nice.. i stay up to 3 banging and drilling in my room
then i get up at 6 to get ready for work... ha

theres not enough time in the day, we should add a few hours a day and get rid of leap year :rofl:

More evil! You need more stuff! :p:

I'll make a list to start you off:

Swifty GTZ for CPU
2nd MCR320 to handle 2 x 4870s and Quad

You could even go dual loop!:rofl:
Just imagin that, a dual-loop SFF! :ROTF:

... im going for a dual loop lol

first i need a new block to commit to the project
first.. which i definitely can not afford! (seriously! lol)
now that ive moved the PSU and got the slim drive
i could probably get away with dual MCR320s! haha
well see :rolleyes:

damn it! now you have me rethinking everything again
poor wallet, its already small to begin with hahah :up:

hey evil, what brand slimline drive is that? I was looking for a Panasonic UJ875 slimline slot loader, but went with a Sony/NEC sata tray loader instead, out of placement and dust concerns. I'm excited to see how you will mount it, will it be internal?

Fantastic build man:up:

Thanks for all the info on the JAE adapters Bro. I agree that the red one looks best. Looking forward to seeing how yours works out. :up:

Hey evil, are you gonna use a fan to cool the PWMs?

Remind me, are you using the heatpipe assembly or is that gone?
09-11-2008, 10:51 PM
evil-98

right now its cooled by the ultra Kaze, but in the future its going to be cooled by 2 50mm fans which you can find on the first page

hopefully i can get a block made for it soon that why i wont have to worry about it :up:

Hey evil! Lookin sweet man!

I'm not sure if you've already ordered that JAE adapter yet, but I found this:
http://www.bettercomputers.com.au/sl...oem-p-848.html

I'm also planning on getting that drive you got and buying this adapter. :up:
But I've got a question, if you've tested the drive out of course, how fast is it?
Is it reasonably fast?

hey smee! long time no talk, hows life.

anyways thanks for the link though there out of stock right now.

i did test the drive, well not really i just plugged it into a laptop and
made sure it functioned correctly. seems relatively fast, didnt have
any issues installing/reading from a disk. i havent burned with it yet
but ill get to it.

UPDATE:

its a SECRET!! shh... im such a tease.

i want to tell, but i rather show as it will only be a few more days!!

Awesome build Evil! as always!

I have the red sata adapter for my Pioneer slot drive. I've been using it for about 8 months now and it works a treat. Cant see mine cos its hidden though! The drive is sorta loud when seeking but I dont use DVDs too much if I can avoid it.

Outstanding! :up:

He must be a really good friend or you robbed a bank! ;)

Those look like easily over an hour of laser cutting and that's not cheap.

I can't wait to see those in place and the paper peeled off.

Bravo! :)

Awesome build evil!

Coming along nicely, love the grills.

Where does the slot drive fit. i.e. where to you put the disc in does it fit thru one of the slots on your front cover? It didnt look like it would line up. Slot loading laptop DVD drives FTW! save so much space. And I love slot drives ever since my first Pioneer DVD-ROM (So many years ago).

I'm struggling fitting my hands in and working in ATX cases let alone a SFF!! Great work.

Hey can you believe this build started 5 months ago? In that time we have swapped mobos, killed a cpu, changed to a 4870, gone CF, wc on just about everything. . . . . . :D This is a great log.

Looking good Evil. Can't wait to see what kind of temps you get on your 4870's VRMs with the EK FC blocks. Haven't seen any results posted about these blocks.

Yea, i havent heard much about these blocks myself, to be honest i only know of a few people here who actually have them.

so far all i can say was the instructions where shoddy especially when it came to there EKs thermal pads and how to prepare them, and memory contact on both cards were kind of bad in areas.

+1, i pretty much had to guess what pads went where, how to cut them etc. Did you put the thick grey pad on the VTEC chip?

And yes, i'm just waiting on the rotary fittings. Them i'm done. ;)

yea thats what was confusing that fat grey pad, i assumed because the other pad were covered that that pad would be covered as well.. i sent like an hour staring at it wondering if that rough side was suppose to be there.. lol and which side up it would go... in the end i put the tacky side down on the chip and called it a day..

we need 90s! :up: and mosfet blocks! :up: lol

Looking great Evil! I love the sleeving.

I have a pair of the 90 degree fittings you're looking for, but I think Sidewinders is supposed be getting restocked on them on the 10th, which is tomorrow.

Aww it's not fair evil!

How come you have space to mount your pump internally!? :confused:
There's no chance of that happening in my V350 :shakes:.

I wanna see you fit the 1/2 x 3/4 tubing in there! :up:

Its the Strider ST75F, i also have a DA850 and a DA1200. i really like the strider alot smaller then the DA, zeus are also nice but i dont like the fact that they use smaller fans.

Looking nice m8 :)

But some connections could need some polishing :P naaj just kidding, I like the way how you did the fittings on the 4870's.

The only thing that could be a little bit better is maybe changing the fan at the Radiator next to the CPU. I know that's a very nice fan for some decent airflow through your rad, but maybe only for the pics you should use a fan that's a bit thinner :up:
