Thanks... It looks like my computer will be fire safe... :)

About 90% of my parts arrived today / I should have a few updated photos of the cooling system available tomorrow... This will be the first time I've taken any photos of it.... :up:
This machine is audacious and impressive. What a machine! I wish you to be rewarded for your efforts, really.
Wait, is that outside of the build? Or is the computer inside that rolling case? If the rolling case-thing is just the cooling, I can see myself buying something like that... it's beautiful!
The picture shown above is the pedestal which is under the main part of the computer / designed to run with or without the pedestal... Each component has been designed to work without the other just in case one fails....

So how much did that bottom shelf cost hardware and all?
Wow! I can't believe I am reading this thread for the first time approximately 12 hours after I ordered the EXACT same Mountain Mods configuration as you have for this build! Glad to see I was onto something. Of course, our cooling components and methods vary greatly, but I will be learning a lot from your build. Awesome and inspiring work so far my friend. This is definitely one of the most interesting things I've seen in a while. Subscribed!
I believe it was around $1,300 - $1,400 for everything which includes the Pedestal, PSU, Coolit Parts, Wiring, Switches, Controller w/ Fans, CD/DVD Drive, Insulating Foam, Ooo and a few Extra Anodized Panels…
Thanks, I hope some of my ideas help / can’t wait to see how yours turns out... :up: You’ll love the case but hiding the wires was a challenge...
I’m flow testing today / had a pin hole in one of my hoses to include a dead pump…. I guess that’s why you should test things when you purchase them :(
Little update... Everything's up and running / had a few issues in the beginning getting the system to boot w/ 12GB of Ram installed (Quickly Resolved). Then I had major issues with condensation because the temps dropped way too low / had to reset the temps to 15C's... I was shocked to see that the coolant temps didn't drop when pushed to 4.4Ghz... :up: Even though the coolant temps stayed around 15C's the CPU idles at around 22C / 38C under load (Loop Includes: CPU / Dual GPU / NB / SB)....
The dual radiators which controls the hot side of the TEC's stayed at around 31C's (radiator intake) which is okay considering it's cooling TEC's / doesn't really affect any of my other components...
Edit:
If only I would of insulated... I could of maintained lower temps...
yes yes, i know that, i meant if there is any tubing between cpu bitspower to mosfet bitspower? or did he manged to put bitspower coupler between?
Yes, there's a small piece of tubing between the 2 compression fittings and it's just over an inch long...

Thanks a lot for this photo, it looks awesome, especially with extenders where you aligned the two fittings.
I will have to buy some more extenders and a few angle elbows, tho this little pieces are expensive when you are buying for whole build with few blocks planned for loop :rolleyes:
No problem, I'm glad I could help / give you a few ideas and yes the bitspower fittings are expensive... I think I've invested well over $300 worth in this loop.
Edit............
h20xide / I love your avatar :up:
Another update.... I used Red / UV Blue antifreeze in the loop... I'm thinking about using black lights to enhance the glow....

This is sex.
Complex machine, wrapped with a little of mystery. Nice the association, the dynamism of the blue and the red. I like this universe :)
As mentioned before I'm getting ready to move and I'm guessing it'll take approximately 2 months before I'm able to continue my work - until then...
Thanks again for your continued support............
You're an animal Mal. Beautiful build.
