Nice work bianco :)
I like the first picture with the ViperJohn flowmeter :) Oohh and thank you for placing these pics because now I will know how my loop will look like when I'm done with planning and building my project. I will also use red coolant and black anti coils :P
thanks Zw_Roodbaard, t'was my pleasure.Quote:

up to the rad on top

Nice :P That's really a freakin jungle in your case. Mine isn't going to be so extreme :P
wow man...
"it's like a forbidden jungle down there..." (compliments of adam sandler)
Seriously though, there is something to be said for planned chaos. I think this is an amazing project and that your loops turned out great. The only things i see that are kinda questionable are the cathode wires. Is there a way to tuck them close to the back of the case by the cathode box maybe? just an observation.... Otherwise GREAT WORK!
Awesome!
haha. thanks Roodbaard.Quote:

well if u wanna change cases, i will gladly trade you my server-tower sized koolance case for your cosmos! haha
haha. thanks for the offer man.Quote:

Amazing job, I love the attention to detail like the red quick swap buttons

Way to go Xtreme! Think I'll have to read over your whole thread again from start to finish!
New case hmmmm..... I had the exact same idea a few months ago...... and now I have ended up at the Extended Ascension (Version of the BDS). Just waiting for more funds (and seeing what the exchange rate does) before I push the order button! (early christmas present! lol)
Most importantly what are your temps like on your hardware?

@ Bianco Really nice mod m8. would it be easy for you to show how you mounted the pump there?
Thanks
Really nice work. It's been great to see this worklog progress really nicely. Are you going to take some pictures of the whole thing?
WOW man thats like 100 ft of hose!!! Looks good does all that tubing affect the airflow at all? Those Viperchecks look amazing.
thanks emu.Quote:

as for the temps... i've just finished hooking everything up. will have to install the os and drivers, etc. will have it posted once done. a bit busy this weekend, need to meet up with interior decorators to fix up a new apt that my wife and i bought. :D
thanks masxerofkartis!Quote:

thanks BA!Quote:

yup, those 2 red orbs look devious! :D wonderful stuff from viperjohn. :up:
hi masxerofkartis. i was able to find the pics finallly! they were done before i painted the case and all...Quote:

measured them just about the same width as the ek d5 xtop holes
http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...esIMG_4060.jpg
screwed a fan grill in between the ek d5 top and the mesh i cut
http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...esIMG_4061.jpg
voila... pump mounted
http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...esIMG_4064.jpg
Thanks a million man. I would do that in my worklog but since i don't have space for that thick rad i guess i just gonna mount it on the drive bayQuote:

Although now that armeniandave has a 120mm pump mount, could have saved you a few steps.
lol, when i read "Raistlin" i was reading it as "wrastlin" some southener refering to wrestling! :)
no problem man. that was one of my earlier plans for the pump - have them in drivebays. but eventually, i decided, i needed the drivebays more. matter of priority... need compromise, i guess.Quote:
