OMFG realy nice work men................contratulation ;) jejeje
I wan to see that work finished ;)
Good luke.......
excellent workmanship kibbler.
:up:
i really dig that omega mount... too bad i don't have access to alum around my area.
@Roodbard: ...not sure if that was a compliment...thanks if it was :p:
@Skinnee, Arni, ShArko: Thanks for all your comments :)
@bianco: Thanks and I'm keeping an eye on your build as well, that's a lot of fun toys there (btw I seem to recall another photo in another worklog where some little girl is inspecting a watercooling part. That was on VRforum, was that you as well?)
Hang on a sec you're in Singapore, too! There's lots of raw material around here, just have to find a GOOD neighborhood hardware stores (not the generic kind that sell mostly household fixtures, you need a bona-fide "wu jing" store).
hi Kibbler. yeah, that's where i started the worklog... trying to sync both now. was going to do simultaneous before, but xs didn't get me approved for quite sometime. good having advice from as much experts as i can. that's my daughter performing the quality check. hehe. ok, i'll try to go out further my area and search. haha. thanks!Quote:

wow that would be a coast to coast for me. :DQuote:

Hey Kippler, could you make some schematics om how you made the bracket for the fans and rad? :)
Would be nice as I am damn clueless currently how I myself could pull it up, without ruining the front :P
It was a compliment but it just to funny to see how you can use products originaly meant for the bathroom on your pc ;)Quote:

@CrixD: They're just aluminum angle pieces joined together. I can take some measurements, but with only a steel ruler I don't know if they will be accurate enough for you.
@Roodbaard: Thanks, it's the modding equivalent of kit-bashing, which is great, because I have neither the tools nor the expertise to fab my own parts.:(
@Shocker: It's possible, but depends on how you want to step-down 140mm to 120mm. Biggest issue is the top panel is very close to the mobo, so tall mosfet sinks or blocks will interfere with a top rad. You might be able to get away with a scythe 140mm kama: Mount to the case using 140mm holes, and mount to the rad using 120mm holes.
IF you just could take some pictures and yadda yadda yadda, then I would be happy, due that bracket is genius :DQuote:

Soldering the 1st junction

Combination of heat shrink segments. The wires on the left are sleeved, then the whole junction is heat-shrunk with 3/8 (1/4 would probably work too, but it might be tight). I'm using 3:1 dual wall (glue lined) from cableorganizer.com.

Here's the final

Aha, there's my man! :D
Nice job, you put my handiwork to shame! :(
I see you didn't forget any of the sleeving...:up:
thanks but I disagree:up:Quote:

Missed a short section of the RPM wire on the 2nd junction lol
http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/3518/img0358os6.jpg
i'm curious...what happened to the RPM wires of the other 2 fans?
The 2nd junction kept bugging me so I went back and fixed it up.

too bad i can't daisy chain my fans like that...
it'd overload my fancontroller... :(
Great sleeving job. How do you like that glue lined sleeving? Does it only get sticky once heated? I'm curious. ;)
Thanks BA, that's a great compliment coming from your caliber :)
The dual-wall is nice. Not sticky to begin with, and easy to slide over wire/sleeve. Once heated the glue melts and the tube shrinks, which can squeeze a bit of glue out of the ends, like in this pic (this only happened on 3/8 shrink, not on 1/8, I assume because 3/8 has more glue inside). That may not look as clean as regular shrink, but the glue is strong and I like the security, actual and psychological.
I noticed that most resellers use regular shrink to sleeve their fans. In a few cases the shrink doesn't "grip" enough, and I can either slide the sleeve + heat-shrunk end freely, or pull the sleeve out of the shrink entirely :(. Very nasty. I chose glue-lined to avoid that (for a small price premium).

I'm waiting for updates :)
very nice project..
where did you pick up you glue line heatshrink? on P-PCS they only have regular.Quote:
