well, I got my electronics issue solved, so I thought I'd post my diagrams to give you a sneak peak at what's to come. . .

If it hasn't been obvious, I've never WC'd before, nor modded a case, so I'm learning everything as I go, and just trying my best, as well as sticking to the ideals.
I feel like I should be done soon as I can't think of anything more that needs to be done, other than trying to hide some cables on the mobo (since temp sensors from the BigNg will be visible), but that may not be feasible.
With my current workload, and then a business trip to Asia at the end of Oct., it may be 1 month more before final pics are posted.
Thanks for hanging in there and staying with the log, even though it's not the flashiest kit, nor the quickest build, but it's mine. ;)
Looking really good. I like the time you put into the diagrams, makes it a lot easier to visualize what you're doing. Keep it up. ;)
Well you have to start somewhere. :D. I think it's better if you take a year to do it right than doing it in a day and messing up. I remember this one guy who posted his wc rig at OCN had done so many things wrong. He thought the outlet of his pump was the inlet [omg poor pump is toast due to pumping air], screwed into his feser rad, no clamps. . .yeah.
Well my little project was the first time I ever did anything by myself and the first time wc [my last kit was pretty much done my a mate]. It was so fun fun fun.
Not a problem for me, I'm just looking forward to seeing the pictures when it's done. As others have said, take your time a do it right! :yepp: :up:Quote:

I think I'm Done!!!! WOOT
Just got back from my business trip and took a free day because of 'jet lag' *cough cough* So I felt super motivated (read awake) and got hustling on my build. did some more wiring, some moar drilling, polished some acrylic, and then put in all the tubes.
Now I just need to fill, leak test for 24hrs, and then install Vista.
Then take some jaw dropping pics!
maybe I'll take a teaser tomorrow. . . :)
can't wait to see some finished pics man!!!
Go go go man!
I can't wait to see the finished result.:)
usch, small hitch.
During my leak testing, I saw that my BP G3/8 to 1/4 converter was slightly leaking from the connection to the PA120.2 That was a bummer as the tygon 3404 is so unbelievably stiff that there was really no way to tighten it without taking the tubes out.
Soooo, I had to drop the rad, replumb the lines, and as a precaution I added another O-ring to all the BP converters, I just felt that they were'nt sitting right/tight enough. Now I'm in hour 4 of leak testing and everything looks good.
Buut, another slight hiccup- and I don't know if I screwed the pooch or not on this one. During the re-plumbing I bent a capacitor outta place on the mobo (under the 24 pin connector), but not off the board. So very delicately I bent it back into place. I'm hoping that the connection is still good, but I won't know until I fire up the computer. Which by the way, has me sweating profusely as I feel I've come so far and would just break down and cry if I had to pull everything out to replace the mobo because of user error (read fack-up).
I guess now it's just wait and see as tomorrow or the next day I'll be flipping the switch and powering up this mutha! Pray for the best!
LOLOLOLOLOLOL. I'm sure it will be fine buddy. I remember CD found a capacitor in his case and the board in question is still crunching and rock stable. I myself shorted out something around my pwm area as the Heatkiller thermal pad contained some metal flakes [I didn't check =p. There was a string of something metalic under the sticky paper.] and my board is fine without that mosfet ;).
well, at least that's some good news (holds fingers crossed)
Thanks Momi!
EDIT: the Good news is I'm up and running Baby!!! Got 4 gbs crucial 8500's locked and loaded, raptor is purring, Vista is burning and Panda is on fire.
The Wife was not impressed with the lighting effects, but unless it sparkles and sits on platinum, she seldom is :rofl:
Now to track down a good camera for pics. I promise to have pics updated by this weekend!!!
Well, my system is up and running now :) , but man I have a ton of bubbles! I thin k it has to do with my mini mini micro-res. If you don't know what I'm talking about, go look at some of the pics (I think page five).
Anyway, I have tilted this damn thing, ran it with the cap off (on the res), ran it for 24hrs or more, but I just can't get the bubbles out.
Any suggestions?
BTW - pics coming Sunday. . .
Yeah I do recall some guys saying days for the normal micro res so . . . . good luck =D
I guess you have danced the case tango right? [shake it]
You could put some gas-x in the loop :D
I've been doing the tango so long with the case my wife is getting jealous :)
But seriously, I think the issue may be the water level + there seems to be a micro vortex happening in the res. I see the bubbles come in and then they spin around but never go over the separating plate before they get sucked back in the 'out' hose.
I'm thinking of lowering the water level so perhaps the bubbles just filter out when they hit a half empty res. . .
I like i like!
I cant wait to see motherboard !
Top effort :)
Well, it's finally done!
I learned alot along my journey as a first time modder/builder. I know now next time around that I'll be able to accomplish my builds in less time although half the fun was in the tinkering!
I'm quite pleased with the final results and my only regret would be the 'top end components' that I bought last year (when I started) are now obsolete :rofl:
Oh well, here's to a year öre saving and I'll be planning an i7 upgrade in 2009!
Onwards and Forwards!!
