Great case;)
What's your camera&lens?
as stated earlier in the thread: Cannon 1Ds MkIII 21.1 mpixel + cannon f2.0 35mm and cannon f2.8 100mm macro. The overall shot was done with a 14-24 Nikon f2.8
Looks very sexy! Is there a big enough gap on the bottom of your case for the rad to suck air in?
It pushes air out the bottom so as to not act as a vacuum cleaner :D and yeah there is plenty of space, I only get a slight increase in airflow when I lift the case up, I think I will put some small pieces of wood underneath the feet once I get it situated on my desk at school :up:Quote:

the pics just keep coming. Nice shot with all the UV showing through the window
Outstanding LC and the pics are drop dead gorgeous!
SNiiPE_DoGG, do you think you could get a picture of the who back drop and light setup with the case there, that would be pretty cool :)
you know, someone else asked for it... but I already broke down the set, I am headed back to school in new york tomorrow and I have no time to spare, packing up all the stuff and preparing the case for transport ate all my time up. Sorry guys :(Quote:

well we use elinchrome packs and lights in our setup, they will run you about $25,000 USD to get just the items used in making these pics tho....
The background is a standard 9 foot paper black background, although in some of the external pics we dropped a different one in on the computer. I promise there are no photoshop's on the actual case tho, that is 100% pure PermaFrost
I think IF this were to become a permanent case photographing station we would use a very dark grey formica backdrop... the lighting config was one overhead fill bank, a right spread bank, a left spread bank and a spot bank on a boom moved to accommodate individual shots.
The back looks really nice.
Dude, you need to paint those lines on the side-panel...
Hmmm.. do you have any pictures taken directly from the side? I have an idea and would just like to share it. :)
u should have painted psu case in white :)
You know actually I dont have any pics from the side :doh:, I think the pictures I do have cover it pretty well though....
as far as the PSU case paint goes, I have killed far too many PSU's to ever void the wonderful 5 year warranty corsair puts on their power supplies. It might have been nice, but I don't mind the contrasting black accents on the case. As long as the PSU isn't red or orange :rolleyes:

Very well executed system too. I do like the two loop color combo very much it gives a very friendly athmosphere with the white interior. That the copper of the GPU does not work so well with green is natural. A nickle version would have been fantastic in my personal opinion. :)
I really wish you would have taken care of the ribbon cable at the soundcard (?). White screws would have been nice as well, but silver still works out. Didn't you first go with a different approach to the sidepanel cuts - like horizontal? It would be interesting to see horizontal cutouts that match the case front. There is one sleeved cable that looks strange, what happened to it (the one cable next to the reservoires)?
Big congratulations on superb photography and the nice two-loop white interior combo :)
yeah I had originally planned to use 2 nickel 4870 blocks, but that changed with the 4870x2. I did not want to use a nickel EK block, they are known to cause shorting of the card and I didn't want to have anything to do with it. On top of that, while this build is uncompromising in looks it is equally uncompromising in performance. Not only does it represent the highest aesthetic quality it also holds to the highest performance standards. The DD block is the best block around as far as I am concerned.Quote:

-The side panel was designed so that the bars are equal width to those on the case front. I preferred the more aggressive look of diagonal bars.
-Are you talking about the cable in the 24-pin stack? if so the reason goes like this: I was using my heat gun on high heat for the first few wires in that connector and unfortunately it began to melt the techflex sleeve outer layer right off, causing fray. I used glue-lined heatshrink so there was no way of removing it. the extra link of heatshrink on there is a cover for the frayed techflex.
Thanks man, it means a lot coming from you!:up:Quote:

Wow man... Just wow. Amazing work.
How quiet is this monster?
http://img371.imageshack.us/img371/7...ewnewpesp2.jpg
It's a pretty rough paint job, but it gets the job done. I think that detailing would look so good. I think it would match amazingly with the white grill on the front of the case.
Very! Obviously its not as quiet as a system with 3 fans but it goes like this:Quote:

the front fans are super quiet, I run them more on the silent side of the built in fan controller, not that I can even hear them all the way up ;)
the Pumps re very quiet because they are suspended and the res mounting brackets are attached to the motherboard tray with 6 rubber washers as standoffs for each bracket.
@ Yukon, yes something involving white detailing on the exterior would look very nice.... I have considered springing and getting the entire set of exterior panels powdercoated in some color... but I dont know what. Maybe this summer I will give smooth a call and have a chat about paint options. thanks for the idea :up:
two words... white pinstriping!
Snipe, as far as the ribbon connector for the soundcard goes- I'd personally give it a shot either sleeving or making it (my personal opinion) black somehow?
it would be fairly easy to do with spray paint and all. The only thing is I looked at the case right before I packed it up and you can't even see the ribbon cable for the audio unless you stick your face right up underneath the video card.... even in the one shot that you can see it in all those photos it is steeped in shadow and its straight and orderly. If the ribbon cable was flourescent orange with leds and glitter on it I would agree a black finish is necessary but as it is I don't think it is warranted.
Maybe I will put a carefully trimmed piece of flat black electrical taped on it, but these photos would require a shop to change that feature (which is entirely possible) because these pictures are not being redone under any circumstances.
too both Nils and Dragoon, I greatly appreciate the suggestions and I am in no way angered by them, however, personally I would prefer to leave it the way it is for I see no reason to change it.
holy :banana::banana::banana::banana: snipe. Just...holy :banana::banana::banana::banana:.
@#KJF$KJV$JK$J#JQ$CKJ#$J Makes me jealous of not buying the PC-P80
Well you guys just had to bust my balls about the ribbon cable :rolleyes: I unpacked the case and set up the studio again this morning because I couldn't sleep last night knowing that that cable was in the picture XD
http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/2...strear1ca3.jpg
i miss the sound card... as I'm sure you would if it wasn't in there. But D@MN does that make for a better picture, seeing all the green slots on the motherboard with the tubing, compliments each other very nicely. It really captures the entirety of the build in one shot. Clean, crisp and colorful (but not TOO colorful :up: )
So - did ya get any shots of the studio?
Your post made me laugh. Given your level of perfection in the project, not surprising you wanted to redo the photo.
I'm with you though, the ribbon cable didn't bother me - especially since it gave you the performance with the soundcard.
Ian - great that you couldn't sleep, because you did not deserve to sleep with a ribbon-thing living in your system.
I guess you looked like the following picture in your bed:
*zzzzz...ribbon ... ribbon ... ribbon....zzzzz*

Congratulations for not accepting that compromise. :yepp:
So now we are just left with the melted Techflex. :D You should have contacted murderMod / MDPC-X for better supplies (sorry for this huge commercial here - I am so bad). But because you chosed what you chosed - you got what you've got. :slapass:
Now there is just the question of aesthetics, that everyone might see different - I in example don't like the gpu-copper, the sidepanel cuts and the top of the case too much - but I am just one and others might love it - and you like it and designed it because of a dynamic look that you wanted to give to the system - so it makes sense and what makes sense is more than ok. :yepp:
I think you kicked the big-industry b00ty nicely with one of the first really appealing white interior systems - now that they jump on the interior black train ... and this has to be rewarded I think - We should let the industry always be a step behind. :surf:
A good design always works without the fact of what you've paid for it. What you have inside makes sense for the design and is not just a money-spending / sponsor show. Congratulations also to your father for doing excellent photography - I think he is not without reason 30 years in business.
Congratulations and ...
:clap::welcome::clap:
Nils, does that no mean that he is in MDPC :) if so woooooooooooop
and as you re set up the studio :) did you get the pics :)
bentleya ;):
My girlfriend (:cheer:) and the two cats (:cat::cat:) have to decide on that now.
Absolutely inspiring build. I'm going black and white with my next after seeing this and Tremeloes awesome machine.
Mad props on the photography aswell man, it's one thing to build a beautiful PC, it's quite another to be able to justifiably portray it to others in pictures.
Michael Jackson's song was ahead of its time :D
very nice, but I'm in need of MOAR pics of this build ^^ :p:
and the name permafrost, genious, (makes me also think of something else :P)
yeah, its cool, I was just offering a personal suggestion, as always, take it or leave it, leave it in for regular use and just take it back out for photo sessions like you ended up redoing (and sorry if I caused lack of sleep on it, lol)Quote:

...and those pictures! Congratulations on such fine work!
MDPC candidate right here if I ever saw one!
That looks fricken amazing Snipe! :cool:
WOW! Man...That's pure awesomeness. The colours are awesome.
Pictures...Well......lets just say that your pictures are some of the best I have seen. :up:
Very good job :clap: realy one of the best mods i have ever seen... Mine P80 realy doesnt stand a chance against yours :ROTF: And the photos :clap: Absolutley gorgeous :up:
simple and clean , the way i like PC , good work snipe dog:up:
Now we eagerly wait for something new even if it's pretty much perfect. :p:
I finally got Ventrilo up and running, everybody in!
Lol Sniipe you left us with so much talk and no pics that I didn't realized it was done until I saw your new SIG today!
All I can say it turned out beautiful and very detailed :bows: The pictures are a topic apart too.
Now it's time for you to ditch the DFI and get a blue UD3P! :ROTF:
Congrats on your new build!
Yes, great job; one of the best looking rigs on the web!
I didnt get to see this until now but great job on this build
Its been awhile since ive seen such a nice build gj!
Thanks for all the wonderful comments guys, I am humbled by your praise :bows:
In other news a new International weather forecast has just been posted ;) :D

it's a real millon dollar pc
Fantastic looking build with equally nice photographs. :clap: :clap:
I know you've gotten praise from everyone here already, but I absolutely love that build. I never imagined I would enjoy seeing a white interior so much. Very very nice work Snipe Dogg :clap::clap::clap:
Incredible build! One of the nicest I have ever seen.
Grats!!
Here it is guys, the grand finale and the seeming end of this build: http://www.million-dollar-pc.com/sys...permafrost.htm
I greatly thank you for your support, your nominations to MDPC and your compliments on the system!
A little tidbit about what my next focus will be:
I have always loved case modding and building computers but paired with that has always been a love of overclocking as well. My next project (already in CAD design phases) will be a benching station to end all benching stations complete with my own custom personally made set of LN2 pots and other goodies. I will probably use this project log as a base for posting pictures of this new setup as it comes along so keep an eye out!
million dollar !!!...:D
congrats Sniipe...:up:...
great worklog with stunning result especially the photo's..
sure thing, your case should be in million dollar PC..:up:
again, congrats Sniipe :clap:
dude you need to apply for a job at lian li these are some nice freakin designs !!! I like the 1st one the best, but theyre all sweet!!!
Congratulations Ian :)
Nice to have another system from the USA on MDPC. To me personally it is the first really good white interior system and therefore you deserve it very much. :clap:

Thank you Shazza :) It is always very hard to decide which system makes it on MDPC. No compromise in design / aesthetics is usually the most important. If a new "theme" is done that fullfills the aesthetics, then 1-2 very small compromises are accepted - otherwise not - not even a wrong screw color or something like that.
Ian's system will for sure inspire people when it comes to white interior builds, because he found a very good theme that goes with white. And bringing design forward is what it's all about. Todays performance will not impress anyone in 1-2 years, so I purely focus on design. It will be nice to look back on MDPC in 10 years and see the designs that made a foundation for computer design development. At least that is the idea behind MDPC :)
congrats man on the MDPC induction! I reported your awesome mod there, just like I said i would. Glad your super-clean rig is with its super-clean friends
Nice MDPC pics :)
I just noticed the extenders on the res inlet... Were your comp fittings not sealing right?
nah, they were being a pain and on the test bench I set up it was leaking. I just used the ST transfer adapters on the G1/4" and it worked out fine. :up:Quote:

We'll see, I have one on order... Putting the finishing touches to the buildQuote:

Test Bench??? Awesome!!!! tell us more!
Very nice job ;)
stunning :D
looks good! tell us some more detail please! how many rads will it be hable to handle?
I like where you're goin with the GT1
BTW
BP G1/4 extender seals the EK+comp as far as i can tell
good to know that worked out for you lyl :)
as far as the other questions/comments about GT1: this will have liquid cooling yes, but only for the NB and it will possibly be TEC chilled liquid loop.
the primary function of GT1 will be as an LN2 benchtable as I will be branching into the realm of extreme overclocking over the summer :). I will either begin a new worklog separately for GTI or continue within this one, but for now all design updates and things I am ready to reveal to you all will be posted up in this thread :up:
Surfed today to million-dollar-pc and guess what I saw, Permafrost, good work like I allready said, it's a piece of art !
42 inches long, 15 inches wide...I see no compatibility issues with anything...other than cable lengths, lol
Small-ish updates here, gives away a bit of my planning ;)

The clean setup and really slick color scheme in this setup is very nice, and all goes together for the permafrost theme. I really envy the photography. The sad part is that even with a nice build like this, it wouldn't look nearly as good as it is in the photographs were it not for the outstanding pics.
I have a basic crappy camera and did my best to take pics of my case this week with a basic lightbox and halogens. It is so frustrating not being able to take the kind of pics I'd like to to get with the kind of lighting and clarity in your photos. But as usual, you get what you pay for, and I for sure don't have access to a 21 megapixel camera with a full photo studio, much less the know-how to take pics like that. Good job and well done.
oh. i didnt realize it was SO HUGE!Quote:

I forgot that I never told you guys what Kind of temps I was getting :)
mind you this is with a low ambient of about 12c (guess), but all the same this triple rad sandwich performs AMAZING and the denkis are @ 70% atm

1st Post.....:woot:
OK....So I have been flying under the radar here lurking and learning for quite sometime now. I just finished reading this whole build log and had to break the silence....SIMPLY STUNNING!!! YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME!
This build is absolutley amazing, and as I am in the planning stages for an upcoming build, I thought it would be perfect timing to ask a question. The P80 is at the top of my short list for my case selection for the upcoming build. Is there anything I should know about this case? I have read in some reviews issues with the 5.25" bays not staying in place after being removed, is this something I should be concerned about? I dont really intend on water cooling just yet, but it certainly is an open option for the future. I would like to have it painted, and am seriously considering a black and gold theme. Any thoughts or any input?
And may I say again.....SIMPLY STUNNING!:D
Hey man I'm glad you liked the build :) :up:
to answer your questions:
-No, I have never had issues with the 5.25" bay covers fitting
-The P80 is a wonderful case for air cooling and for water cooling so you really can't go wrong :)
-As far as color goes black and fold sounds cool :up: just make sure that the case and build is exactly what you want it to be :yepp: I subscribe to the idea that as long as its everything you want it to be then the build will be perfect.
I'm pretty sure this rig is going up for sale, not because I am going anywhere or anything, I just need to build many more computers.
The price is high but let me know if you are seriously interested: via PM or email eyean540 at gmail dot com
What???? You're selling your P80??? :confused:
while I love my case and computer, I want to keep moving forward an innovating in the field of building systems :up: I will always have the pictures and the building experience, that was the goal all along.Quote:
