Project Illuminated - XtremeSystems Tribute

Gosh Darn!

I see 2 miles of sleeve :D

i think i just messed myself repeatedly reading through this entire build log.... I am speechless. and in a good way :shocked: :up:

That is some serious amount of sleevings.... up to the extend that you're scaring me~!
Can't wait for pics galoreeeeeeeee :D

hmmm... been a while since the last update...

xasis, if you've become ensnarled in sleeving and have been immobilized, try to drag yourself to your keyboard and type something - we'll call for help.

I hope he's alright... that is a lot of sleeving...

Glad to hear you're deep in the project. But, don't ya know, we wouldn't mind seeing a sleeved fan once in a while just to know you're still kickin'.

And, I hear ya on Nils. i ordered some bits and pieces from him today ... had a response and a shipment notice (and a little note :) ) within 10 minutes.

:) ... I'm feeling the love for so little demonstrated thus far.... Truth is while being a slave to the art of sleeve I've been continuing to deal with some personal matters + waiting for new power supplies + proper colored 18 gauge wiring ... so excuses aside and with no promises I would expect to that I'll be uploading a boat load of photographs between the 24th-28th of this month. ;)

Seriously though, Glad to see you moving along with the build Wil! I will be following closely to it, although not actively - feel free to gmail chat me anytime :up:

Thanks Ian, motivation has now increased +3. ... and indeed, Germany and all of Europe for FTW as far as water cooling goes as far as I'm concerned (and Taiwan ... keep it up with the power of the Bits Vince!).

:) I've literally put my 5870s back in their boxes now as to focus... though, I don't know that it actually helps to much with dual 295s... I'm not much of a gamer but I must admit if I were to throw in the towel and become a hardcore first person shooter gamer... be warned! :D

My eyes are following your project ;) nice to see what you do!!!

Nice Work Nils, i do not want to know how many cats have to die for :)

so far,
Marcus

"i do not want to know how many cats have to die for" :rofl: Well, I haven't the slightest how many meter but I do no not nearly enough. I'm looking for spools in my shop to make it all more accessible. Which reminds me I'm in need of buying some more soon... Not for this project but just because it's one of those things one must have on hand in their survival gear shelter/bunker/enclave... that's normal right? :confused:

I had high hopes for this build and you've surpassed that on page 3. :up:

Thank you much Cpt! Though I've found that my no compromise approach is also a contributing factor to my taking months and months to finish approach. Thank you none the less. :)

8k? Oh well, when it comes to the parts that will actually end up being inside the build I would imagine ... uhmm actually I have no idea... I do no that I've kept every receipt and have let me think... 7 extra tri and quad radiators unopened... some monstas collecting dust... and a shelf full of merchandise that makes me think I need to become an e-tailer... Next project will be planned far better... and also I probably won't have to buy any of the parts.. har... ;)

NO hats going off until it's complete pingpong. I appreciate the gesture... but it is undeserved until completion and photographic glory is achieved. Thank you anyhow though! :)

I'll do the kindness of removing the religious bit so as not to offend those who uhh... well would be offended but since I'm not very clever and simply spent extra banter saying the obvious with asterisks in an attempt to be civil when any infant knows what I was intending to imply "GOD DAMN"! ... Please, I could use a blunt instrument to the head right about now! Apologies. Lack of sleep being the excuse as usual. :) forgiveness? :)

I'm scaring myself at the moment too... the thing is quite top heavy... I'm having to counter this by lowering the motherboard supports, switching, swapping, etc... After I post this I'm off to MDPC-X ... I'm in need (wanting) of some... well the obvious.

:rofl: Thank you charles, fortune has it that I have a computer out on my workbench for controlling the CNCs among other things so if any help is needed my salvation is fairly close at hand. :)

updates? give your fingers a rest xaxis!

Can you post more photo?
Thanks.

Nice looking build, I also have a CYO and pedestal24 like you.

I only have 4loops... but it was a hell to sleeve everything etc. In total i have +- 32fans :) tomorrow i will try to fill it. I wish you lots of luck with your build and PS :

SUBBED!!! monster build

Where did all the pictures go? :confused:

No pics working. :confused:

Damm!, just finished reading the 13 pages over the last 2 nights.
Xaxis, you are one intense man, and I can totaly relate to that.
Good to see'a still, head down bum up pushing hard to the finish line mate, focus it's the only way you can get there.
Looking forward now to another sweet update.

so any updates today :D

It's been 8 months since the start and 3 months since an update. Although I hate to say it, I'm thinking this project may be dead.

It seems life got in the way ... assume he's back from Antarctica by now. Hopefully we'll get to see some pics from that trip.

I imagine he'll get back to the project when he has time.

Antarctica sounds nice
