Talk about a Nice Case! And Nice Build! Great Job coolmiester!
Very nice job with the case, it as a very clean look. :clap:
It also has some interesting details. ;)
Congrats
What a mess! Can you find the pump? :D
Yup, its behind the IDE cable.
Time to add my riff-raff to the neighborhood...

Fuzion block, great pump, 2 rads, orange fans, everything very clean...what can I say? :toast:
Most of you remember my old setup with the Lian Li PC7B & Tri-Rad. That was a little OTT so I decided for something a bit on the conservative side.
So I went air, and lasted about a week before I had a major craving for water again. One thing I'll say, when you've gone water there is no turning back.

Just a small little setup. Getting average temps, comparable to my old system.
@ 3.5GHz 1.48v Real I'm getting around 60/60*C WCG, and the paste hasn't settled yet.
I've been meaning to post some pics of my beauty. :D

Garu,
You better put a rubber grommet in that hole where your tubing exit/enters your case to protect the tubing, the edges of the hole might be sharp.
Those 2 blue fans in the front of your case that are blowing at your harddisks,
what size and make are they?
Those look perfect for cooling RAM.

Garu I love your project man :)
Tygon and UV green dye... I've had that, you don't want to know what your tubing looks like after let's say, 5 months or so :eek:
Nice build though :thumbsup:
I'm actually using HydraX. Cheap pretty good performance.
Sorry double posts.
funny, I've had tygon and HydrX for exactly 5 months now, tubing looks new and fresh, what is it supposed to look like?:confused:Quote:

ohhhh....I think I've just came:clap:
I must be dumb. :( What are the long skinny ones for? RAM?
It's a complete set for the ASUS Commando. 1x Northbridge, 1x Southbridhe, 2x Mosfets..
omg are those out yet? i must have one...or 4 :D
seeing as its a p965 then I guess those blocks would fit a p5b delux too?
Those Ek blocks are beautifull :slobber:

Wow, shame about the fitting but they are G1/4 thread anyways!!
What bord are these made for exactly as no forum i saw them said, not even in english, german, solviena etc etc!!! I'll defo have 1 of everything bar NB as i'll use my sliver rbx there
How do they mount to the mosfets?
Screws it looks like.
Man, that's a tight turn between the 2 mosfet coolers.

Still no one know what bord there for!
This is a new build, no cable management as u can see as i will soon be building my own case. I am fed up with trying to fit the parts i want into a case that is not designed for water cooling. This one does work OK though and keeps my e6600 3600mhz oc around 48 degrees under full load.
I know all those angles are far from ideal, they will go as soon as my 8800s arrive with sli blocks from DD:)
The loop is as follows: pump1-PA 120.3-cpu(fuzion)-NB (maze4)-pump2-blackice stealth 3-SB-7900gtx(innovatek blocks) and back to pump1. The res u can see behind is just to fill the T-line. the first pump (DCC2) is behind the rad in the bottom and the second is just next to the lose floppy drive (soon to go also!).
I turn the psu around so that is helps suck air out from behind the PA120.3.
Sorry my photos are naf, need to fined a better way to reduce their size!
You don't have to use those fittings. That's just what someone else put in there. Just use EK high flow barbs, they screw right into the block.Quote:

Whoo about the 1st German i have seen to use 1/2'' pn there rig!!! I look forward to this dude
I was the first one with 1/2" tubing, and I love(d) it.. :)
I can only but hope they follow on from itQuote:

Krueml,
I don't understand why a lot of Germans, especially on sites like hardwareluxx.de think that 1/2" ID is very ugly. Those tubes look like the logical size to me.
You always have the most pretty machines. Everyone I have seen of yours has been stunning!
Polizei .. exactly, all blocks are from EK .. :)
IanY .. I don't understand it, too.. It looks very nicely and you have a better flow ..
EffizienzGurus.de for example is almost the only site that has almost user with 1/2" ID .. :)
looks sexy krueml, great job
Those EK WBs are teh bomb!
Maze 2 FTW! :cool:Quote:

Anyway I went and modded a Powermac G5 case with the internals of a pc and went with an internal watercooling solution while trying to keep the outside of the case as simplistic and asthetically pleasing as possible.
currently it's being leak-tested so i plan on cleaning up the wiring later.
BTW can anyone recommend som quick connect barbs?
I'm thinking if i need to service this again in 6 months it's gunna be a pain considering the pains i went through to get it set up
tell me what you guys think

Woah, how did you get a Mac case? That's nice job using Mac case.
ROFL! Is that a baby wipe container you used for your res? I have never seen something like that before... that is too funny. Form over function... :DQuote:

Getting the computer up and running was the easy part...figuring out where to put the PSU, HDD and leave enough room for the watercooling stuff was the difficult part....oh and dont get me started on how i had to get to the powerbutton/front I/O panel working.
I don't think there's water in that right now, at least not in those pics... look at where the pump and reservoir are hooked to... they are not present... heh :)Quote:

krueml_ I love your build... but how is the EK mosfet block mounted?
I don't see any screws around there.
Nice blocks though... :slobber:
I saw in another thread that it screws in from the back of the mobo.Quote:

Pretty indeed. :)
By the way, Eddy has the new mosfet and chipset blocks now in his shop.. :)
Anyone know the difference between the NB/SB block 1 and 2? Looking at the drawings dont make sense to me... Since both are named nb/sb... is on a nb and one a sb block? so you need both or ar they different?
That G5 case is very sexy. :)
Thanks!Quote:

Do you have any more, more detailed pictures? I am trying to pick up a G5 case for a decent price to put a PC in it, however it looks like it is going to be a hassle. I am worried that the PCI/PCIe slots aren't going to be in line definately with a crossfire setup.
What is the rest of the equipment used in the G5?
modded a perfect seal barb for better flow.

You HAVE to cut out the back, it's unavoidable, if you want to have pci slots that will match up to the back of the case.
I got this idea from another person who did this mod. (google aquamac)Basically u just cut out enough from the back to slip in a removable motherboard tray. (the one we used was from a coolermaster wavemaster series...VERY easy to get...if you call up coolermaster's customer service line and ask to purchase one they will send one to you. I had one ripped out of a coolermaster case when i called and shipped over for 19 dollars after shipping. Very nice customer service support.) Drill some holes in the motherboard case to either screw in some screws and nuts or you can pop rivet in place.
you can also drill holes into the tray to match up with the g5 case holes and screw it into place, i found after i screwed the tray into the back of teh g5 that this really wasnt neccesary.
I have more pics at home...once i get home i'll post em. It looks really clean in the back when you use a motherboard tray rather than just screwing a motherboard in place and using the default back of the G5. One of the major pluses of using a mobo tray is you're not limited to 4 pci slots that's on the back of the G5.
I would say the hardest parts of the mod was getting the PSU up top and routing the AC adapter to the bottom, cutting out the back and figuring out the pinouts on the front panel board.
My power button works but Apple uses some sort of internal circuitry to split up power and led signals so i had to wire the power button directly and bypass the I/O panel. The Power LED doesnt work but that's not hard to remedy..i can just make a little board with some leds on it for hdd and power and let it glow through the mesh.
anyway more pics when i get home.
hope that helps a little
if you look at my current pics, yes my psu fan point down onto the vid card, i've placed my hand under it to see how hot it got and it barely was noticable.
the back of my psu has mesh on it and it points to the back of teh g5 case so ventilation is not a problem cramming it all the way up there.
another great thing about using a motherboard tray was being able to route the power cables and stuff under the tray.
components in the case
mobo: Gigabyte 965p-dq6 (some people told me using the case inverted would mess with the heatpipe, but i checked gigabyte's info on their heatpipe and it does utilize a wick...so placement is not a problem)
PSU: seasonic 600w m12
cpu: e6600
Mobo tray : coolermaster wavemaster
dvd: samsung sata
hdd: seagate 7200.10 500gb sata drive (I had some issues figuring out the best way to mount the hdd...in the end i screwed in 4 mobo standoffs drilled the plate under the optical drive and screwed it in place...it worked perfectly...the mobo standoffs served as a gap to help airflow above(under) the hdd
ram: 2gb corsair xms2 ddr2 800
gpu: sapphire x1950xtx
Ok as promised here are some pics
http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/4...24largekh8.jpg
http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/9...44largesy4.jpg
As you can see i had to cut the drive tray in half...this made it easier to service the drives so i didnt have to take out the PSU with everything.

Holes drilled and ready for some 3mm machine screws and nuts.
http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/8...58largexd7.jpg
the scratches on the tray that you see were easily cleaned up with a plastic scour pad.
Thanks for the info. I did find a thread on insanelymac where guys were modding G5s for PCs, and the guy who did the aquamac posted there also. It doesn't look as hard as I previously thought now that I know you can just use a removeable motherboard tray.
