All pics work for me:confused:
Only thing that shouldnt be working atm is the first video I posted as it was removed from my photobucket account, the rest should all work perfectly. If they arent working try another browser or copying and pasting the link into your address bar.
Or alternately just visit the album on photobucket that holds all the pictures for this project: http://s188.photobucket.com/albums/z...ormal%20Black/

^^^holy god, you taking a pick up truck right? hahaha
LOL Definitely :)
More updates! Did some fabbing while waiting for parts to arrive and orders to be filled.
http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z..._Progress1.jpg
OOOOO, you guys are in for it soon, got HUGE updates. Got all the rest of my parts in minus 2 hard drives and a rad, first loop is plumbed, fan covers fabbed and installed, custom screws replaced the old generic ones, both pumps have been mounted, and most of the wire management pieces have been painted and are curing before installation in the case. Starting to almost resemble a complete project WOOT! FINALLY!
hey we want proof PICS!! :D
Pics or it didn't happen! :up:
Lol shall I include pictures of the part where I took a metal bit to my case lol. I had to bore out the fan screw holes from 1/6th to 1/4" to accomadate the custom bolts I ordered. Yay!!! Next I get to drill holes for the drain ports ;)
I feel.... strange... taking a metal bit to a $600 case o.o
Yeah but that's what makes the build exciting knowing your modifying expensive parts to make your own creation. I think I have more fun building them then playing with them afterward. :up: Keep up the good work mate!
alright folks, picture time. Its late and no good light to shoot in, so this is just a couple of teasers for now. Believe it or not, ALL the cabling is run in these pictures, everything has power, everything is connected, and all the wire management is done.
Still to do:
Remount CCFL
Remount HD's and HD Bracket
Rig up 2nd loop (waiting on 2nd rad)
Fab 1 more fan grill (lol I miscounted by ONE, isn't that annoying?)
Figure out how to wire my switches correctly (anyone wanna point in the right direction on this one? The built in LED comes on but the switch doesn't function)
Mount the last three fan grills up front (after rad and last bracket come in and I fab up the last one))
Drill holes for fill and drain ports (I want my top ben! lol)
Run the fill and drain ports.
Test loops (after I figure out how to power up my PSU without having it squeel its balls off at me for now having enough drain on the rails >>)
Then it'll be done! WOOO!!!
Ok yah, enough chatter, pictures:

The front, looking kind of naked still without that 2nd rad, DAMN YOU NCIX!! I paid an extra $50 just to get my 2nd one from PPC's just because I got sick of waiting after THREE WEEKS waiting on it, well that and PPC guys are awesome (thanks for taking care of me guys :up:)
http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z...k/IMG_3333.jpg
Here's the back, this is the final look for the back so you can kind of get a picture of how the rest of the case will look
http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z...k/IMG_3334.jpg
Here's the I/O area on the back panel, looking smooth after a ton of disassembling and painting.

Here's for anyone wondering what exactly that copper stuff over my fans is, its well, copper. Copper CLOTH to be exact, just because I'm baller like that, and copper is awesome.
http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z...k/IMG_3336.jpg
Here's the dual pumps that will be running my loops. mmmm, bitspower + XSPC = win.

more BP goodness. Better pics tomorrow, if Im not busy with turkey ;)
^^^ :::drools:::
The build looks great so far cutless. What mesh size did you choose for your copper cloth? I tested some 100x100 (mesh size) copper cloth that we've had in storage where I work for the last few years and it blocked 70% of the airflow from a 1500rpm s-flex. I knew it'd be bad, but gaaah!
I have several 12" x 12" sheets of stainless woven wire cloth on order from McMaster ranging from 24x24 (comparable to the plastic mesh filters that come with the Cooler Master cases) to 84x84 - 'gonna be interesting to see how they perform in my makeshift wind tunnel.
I went with 100x100 copper wire cloth for this application. It's actually quite see-through from straight-on, so I'm hoping it wont hinder performance too much. It really is beautiful to look at though. This rig isn't really meant for hardcore OC/benching, and the rads I have are basically overkill for what I'm using them for, plus I'm using high static pressure Ultra Kaze 38mm fans, so either way it shouldn't be bad, even if it does block 70% of airflow. Unless it causes unwanted noise etc I'm not really too worried about it.
*edit* - mcmaster concurs with your findings, stating that 100x100 mesh has an open area of about 30.3%. If you step it up to 1500x1500, it goes up to 44%, however at that point Id be worried about it breaking as soon as I tried to bend it, as thats very very very very VERY fine threads. (think about it, thats 15 times thinner than the 100x100, which is already like, freakin thin as hell).*/edit*
I spy a "Super Multi Blue Drive". :D
Check my sig out. My LG Burner just arrived today. :clap: That's pretty cool that you have one too.
yup good eye, that is indeed a blueray/hd dvd player/burner, and it has lightscribe, WOO!! lol :)
now all I need is n I7 rig :P LOL - nah, Ill wait till the first stepping revision before I touch that ;)
That's an "Everything and Then Some is Supported Drive" with LightScribe. Mine is slightly different. It has a small thin silver bar accross it that's the thickness of the power button, and has trick looking bars that go along it on the front bezel. They are cool. That LightScribe is neat, but wait until you get to see what the media cost! Make sure you ask them for a chair so you can sit down before they tell you the price. Those dang disks are expensive man!
A buck a pop doesnt seem too terribly bad man (30 disk spindle, 27.99, plus tax = ~$30). Granted a sharpie is cheaper, but then when you spend 6K on a computer, a buck a pop for anything sounds nice LOL.
Yeah I got used to a dime a piece CD-R's! hahaha
For that kind of media it ain't too bad, but it kinda shocked me from the price of CD-R's. It's good to have though. Keeps things Neat and professional looking. I like stuff like that. Can't wait to play with it. I'm gonna go nuts on the graphics. hehe :)
nice work good system
Moarrrr.....
WOOOO, just cut my first one inch hole for the first of two drain ports on the back of the PC, and the first of four total in the case (two on the top, and two on the back). I drained almost 2 full batteries drilling it, but it came out smooth as a babies bottom, more pics tomorrow guys! Turkey day was awesome, hope everyone else had a good one too!
[edit] oh yah, and I spent most of the day countersinking every screw on the back of the case, so none of them stick out at ALL anymore, they are perfectly flush with the case! What a difference![/edit]
