Black acetal all the way :) It would also be more robust and less risk of cracking (sorry for being a bit paranoid :p).
I'm lucky to have both tops when I bought my FC8800 GTS so I can try it but for 20$, it's worth getting the acetal version.
Hmmmm....I've got the acetal EK FC 8800GTX block, and would prefer the acrylic one. We could trade, but I won't be home for about 10 days to ship it to you :( . (I've actually got a spare one ... never been used, as I haven't hooked up my second card).
ACETAL is it then!!!!
I just buy the acetal top yeah? i don't need to get a whole new block right?
10days is abit long for me to wait :( soz shazza i won't my rig finished by then.... :)
I know. I want to see your rig finished too!Quote:

Pretty darn good looking m8! Keep them coming! God i dig those EK NB\SB WBs. They look sick! I just got my MCW30 and i think that both looks awful seeing how good looking those EKs looks :p:
CHEERS MATE yah i love them ek wb's!!!Quote:

Keep the Acrylic. BTX means you CAN see the liquid inside, and that's way cool ;)
You've spent so much already so it seems like abit of a waste of money imo. It still blends in anyway with all the other EK blocks. :up:
I agree. It would be cool to have that spot to see the water.Quote:

i have already payed it for it.... :( so i may aswell use it now...
I don't $20 to set my finance's back to hard anyways...
cheers all...
Looking to finished by next w/e if all goes well..
will update everyone in the mean time
Wish me Luck :)
edit: after trying both the acetal and acrylic tops i think the acrylic one suits my build more so i used that one and sold that acetal top to a mate :)
nice and clean build m8, lemme ask you what are those three fans on your mobo, and is it aftermarket or does it come with a certian brand mobo?
If your talking about the fan's on the ram... it's the corsair dominator ram fan just took the sticker's off.Looks so much better without them on :up:Quote:

oh that sounds bad. mayb you went too much overclock on the getgo?
good luck finding the solution, it must be something you forgot... hopefully all goes well...
no overclock as of yet.. something to do with drivers i thinkQuote:

If you haven't already tried it, I'd strongly recommend testing your RAM using memtest86 (comes with most Linux install CDs, including Ubuntu). Memory errors can do absolutely ANYTHING :mad:Quote:

Still getting bsod's?
no :) have fixed the problem mate!!!
will be posting pics as soon as i find a adapter for the charger that came with my cannon s3 is...
I purchased it from america so it does'nt use the same power pin :(
any1 know where i can get one??
re the camera power adapter ... easiest thing to do is just get a US---> Australia plug adapter. Generally available for less than $10. Double check to make sure your charger accepts 110-220V power (most do).
You can probably also order a spare charger from one of the camera stores in OZ - may even be able to find just the cord to plug in at :banana::banana::banana::banana: Smith's or somewhere like that (I know you can get cords for laptop chargers, not sure about smaller stuff like cameras).
i'm using a canon charger i have a adpater for my mobile i tried that but didn
t fit :( so i'm going to have a look around today see what i can find...
hopefully i won't need a canon adapter just any old one
cheeers
oops, maybe I'm misunderstanding. But, if you just want to plug the charger in the wall, something like this should work:

BTW, glad you solved your BSOD problem.
hey my brother has that camera :) but it trys not to let me near it so i borrow it :D when he's away.just wana ask some questions whats the best setting to use and should i use a tripod and anything else that makes pic of pc mods better ! :)Quote:

Best tip for computer pix is, use natural light as much as possible. On camera flash just causes too many reflection probs with surfaces of the type involvedQuote:

@Disrupt'
Like Shazza said, richard Smiths should have a travel type conversion plug that'd do the job, or Downtown Duty Free would.
Downtown D/F carry a range that has a conversion unit to match each combination each way. Like US to Japanese or Australian to US or US to Australian. Each one only does one job but that keeps the cost quite low.
I've got one here somewhere. If I can dig it out I'll post the brand name, later.

ahhhhhhhhhhhh okQuote:

Spotted a converter at PC Case Gear for $8.50 here.
cheers mate!!! nice find!!

Mesh over the front would look great. All three res colours showing through it.

All your effort has payed off. Looks great.
Runs great too?
are you suggesting i put them over my res's @ the front???Quote:

i will do that this w/e :)
Looks insanly nice disruptfam :up:
What temps do you get?
Three loops are quite overkill :D
regards
cheers mate !!! im very happy with the look!!!! :D its overkill yes but i like overkill lolQuote:

cheers :up:
Just a thought. A cut down version of them or some black mesh. Your and my taste aren't necessarily the same. So what appeals to me might not suit you.Quote:

i only have on a 150gb raptor (os) and 400gb (storage) i'm getting a 500gb soonish...
i only have 1 spot for hd's left... idk if i should get a 1tb hd hmmm (there expensive)
http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/c...dpcpics086.jpg
If you ever get desperate for more space, I've got a spare couple of drive cages. Turn one upside down and hang it forward in front of your rads.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...HDDRACK_01.jpg
yeah that would be good but i didn't want do any more drilling modding... lol
:)
i think a 1tb drive should suffice :)
cheers mate
1 TB lots of freedom there. i just think that with all torrent downloading i'am doing atm, i sometimes forgot that my 500GB is full, 50MB left popped up in my face more than once...
jedda, me thinks he is saving that spare bottom case space if he does go 4 loops, hehehehe...
Yes, in a couple of months when the bug bites again.
Watercool the dvd drives? lol :)
Kickass build disruptfarm, and nice pictures! :) I'm jealous over here. LL cases = hotness.
I thought you went with the acetal top for the FC8800 block ??
Seeing acrylic with purple coolant is a bit weird ;)
That EK-680-1 looks lonely.
Got to get it some lovin'

I gotta say though, i'm pretty dissapointed with the CPU temperatures for such a small overclock and low vcore :( maybe you should get a G0? :rofl:
Turned out nice, cool colours!
cheers mate :) im very proud :DQuote:

i can say i didnt pay full retail price for most of my gear...i got alot of bargain/discounts and selling off old pc gear to pay for this pc...
so i really didnt spend that much.... :up:
very nice mod :)
Lian Li v2000 Modding rocks :)
Feichti
sorry about lack of pics guys...
iam on holidays atm... :) wont be back for week or so.....
:)
and then he'll get the itch for the 4th loop... hehehe
ok im back from holidays...
over the past week or so that i have been gone... my pc has built up alot of dust!! lol....
any tips on cleaning it out????
I read somewhere canned air or whatever its called is good...?
It is but you can go through a few cans.
Some are higher pressure and more air than others. The Jaycar cans are good. D'Smith not so good.
I use a compressor but it needs to be oil and water droplet free in its output. So its a normal compressor with outlet traps or an oil-free type. Don't let your fans spin free. It'll kill the bearings.
cheers mate....Quote:

:shrug:
also would swapping out my cpu effect my os?
I think you'd be better off with the dual core, it doesn't get as hot as a quad.Quote:

And swapping out a cpu shouldn't effect the os, you may have to do an update of some sort but it shouldn't be any problem.
You've done a great job on this project mate!!
But I want final pics... NOW!!!! :hehe:
:up:
Probably. I only have a quad because I render a lot and thats the only developed multi-thread soft atm.
In a year, games will take advantage of multi-threading but multi-tasking is the only other area of quad advantage currently and a dual core does that well anyway.
I've both E6600 and Q6600 here and am only using the quad 'cause its a box for 3D modeling and graphic work primarily. If I was still flying flight sims, instead of making them, it'd have the E6600 in for sure.
It's looking fantastic, looks tidy and the concept is pretty extreme. Really giving the itch for the PC343B to be finished.
It does look good, doesn't it.
Your's is like mine, Mekrel.
Closer it gets to completion, the slower it goes! lol
cheers all....i'll swap out my cpu tonight then :)
thanks for nice comments guys.....
i'll get them pics to youse asap....i'm capped atm so its gonna take a ages to upload them all :(
It comes to something when someone can buy the same case as you 6+ months after and have it set up before you, ~aoe~ managed to do that lol.Quote:

disruptfam, what camera did you use to take those last pictures? They look great :up:
cannon s3 Is
potrait mode, 1600x 1200 res, fine, 200 iso
I've figured out some better (Manual) settings since i took those pics
So new pic's will look alot better...
turned up the res toned down the iso... etc etc
can you share them please :)Quote:

You see that multi-colour anodising effect they have? The TJ-07 you mentioned is one case where all the internals remove easily. Just crying out to be done like that with black and red or blue. With a black exterior and multi internals it'd look great!
Woopsadasie :ROTF:
