nothing special. total cost apart from the hardware was about 150 euro inc the wood and plexiglass.
how bad :)
:shocked:
The rigs here are so so nice! :up:
@troj@n
The DK is pretty nevertheless. :D Ur rig is so so clean! :up:
:rofl: :brick:
I knew I should have kept my mouth shut. :ROTF:
Filled?....yep.
Running?....um......kind of.
I'm trying to do something that we can't talk about in the open....if you get my drift. ;) ;)
I really haven't had much time as of late to play with that rig too much.
adidassler, what an amazing rig m8! Be proud of it!
Heh, Awesome job!
Nice Pictures actually, and great setup, I just love Black all over.
patriote! haha, thanks man...
how is your rig of the month going on?
@knet
indeed black is a beauty!
Here is my setup :)

Love this thread.
@funkflix - Amazing :up:
i love this thread 2
funkflix, your setup looks awsome. Can we get a pic of the whole thing?
FunFlix, your rigs totalllyyyyy rules man. Neat, Clean... just pure... pr0n... Keep 'em comin! :D
Damn nice rig Funflix, and even better pictures.
Where Can I get those RAM Block ?
Looks like a MIPS block. http://www.mips-computer.de/
Looks great, funkflix :up:
Found it, but
Quote:
Preis: 89,90 EUR
New case.
Gee thanks. It was a fricken snapshot, dude and it needed to be brightened up. When I get the mod done, I'll take better pictures and you will be welcome to critique them. Better yet, travel to Denver in July and you can see my exhibit I'm putting up in a local gallery. I'm sure they suck too.
Thermochill PA 120.3 is no longer in the list of FrozenCPU, WHY???
and found this Feser X-Changer, with tag line "Thermochill Killers"
Any Comment on both X-Changer and 120.3?
i wouldn't comment on thermochill killers until i see perf results sounds like alot of hype tbh
I am looking forward for a review comparing thermochills vs. the x-changer...
if you find any, kindly share it here... Thanks!
@Schlingel - nice pics!

Just finished modding a Stacker 830 SE, was kindda hard as the emplacement for the rad couldn't be used due to the PWM heatsinks on the mobo... So I had to move everything as far as possible to the left side... bundled with the too many connectors on the PC Power Cooling PSU which are impossible to hide lol... this was a pain in the butt to accomplish... really thought these cases were bigger...

Lee what size tubing are you currently using?
3/8 it was, my friend thought it was 8/10mm so I bought some new tubing, though when I tried to fit them it was a no go and had to reuse the old ones... pretty cool temp on the Qx at 4ghz around 35°C idle and topping at 57°C under small FFT's ( all coretemps due to Vista )... gonna clean my Thermochill triple rad and use these 3/8's too instead of my thinner tubing...
Couldn't you mount the rad on the underside of the case so that just the fans are on the inside? This is what I'm looking to do with mine (will need the wheels fitted though)
It's still running hard man! I never had a comp running so well for so long :rofl:
I haven't changed a thing on it and i won't for a while. Alltho I'd like to upgrade for a 45nm CPU, a 790I SLI mobo, some DDR3 and some 9800GX2, i can't ATM and probably won't be able to any time soon.
The material life is taking over with the girlfriend :yepp:
a (so i hope) better pic :)
http://www.abload.de/img/gesamts4r.jpg
That's an option Nf, but the Swiftech rad is already pretty thick, if you have a thermochill that's even thicker. Me and Nilos transport their pc's regularly to LAN's so a rad on the bottom could be easily damaged... I prefer it to have on the inside as the tubing is also easier to do...
If you look closely the rad is only mounted via 2 screws on Acryl plates...pump also rests on a foam (for vibrations) so the complete setup is pretty easily removable... but a rad on the outside would have made the installation way easier....
I'm looking for a Cosmos S modded case, as I think I can put my Thermochill triple rad on the top of the case... but haven't seem many mods on that case ( yet )
Like I said before the Stacker is huge though once you put in 4 Hd's and 2 optical drives things can get stuffed, and without a modular PSU things get pretty messy on top...

Out of interest, why would you external mount a radiator in a mozart tx ?
the mozart chassi are so sexy :up:
here are some updates after a pump failure
sorry about the paint scrapes

daj349: What a cool case! What is it?
check his sig ;)
The only VAIO I know is the Sony VAIO laptop. Hardly doubt that...
ORLY? :D
http://products.howstuffworks.com/so...ter-review.htm
@ daj349
don't like the color of your otherwise awesome-looking case
+1 for finding a VAIO desktop case, they weren't too popular
it is a new pc on the inside but i kept the case
here is the exact one though

Here's my secondary rig hooked up to my 42" 1080p Westy.
Systems specs:
LL a05 [blowholes up top - needs the airflow in this case]
Cosair 620w
q6600 (b3) [32 idle]
Evga 750i FTW
Swiftech h20-120 Compact
2 x 1gb Dominators 8500 or 2 x 2gb Mushkin 6400, depending on the day
Evga 8800 GTX
HDs: 250 [XP + Vista Ultimate] / 300gb [apps] / 750 [data + media]
Dvico HD tv tuner
Creative x-fi Audio
LG Blu-Ray/HD-DVD player
Plextor DVD-RW
SilenX fans
nb fan has an Antec Stealth on it instead of the leaf blower stock one. If you own this wonderful board, a better fan is a must! Yes, my Dominator fan is missing 6 screws - I just did a diagonal pattern after stripping 2 of them modding the fan. I put in 3 Mini Kazes, and there is a big difference in dBa - another suggestion worth thinking about.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...5/IMG_0229.jpg
what are your temps and what coolant is that?
I think thats the swiftech Hydro-X mixed with distilled water (Just like mine!) :)
Yeah, its a Swiftech H20-120 Compact. Quite a nifty kit for the small case even though I usually go with discrete parts in most of my rigs. This makes for a clean build, which again, is great for a small case and for optimization of space/value/performance. I use Swiftech Hydro-X in this with a mixture of Fluid-XP+ [clear].
Edit: its around 32 idle/53 load
WOW some great looking rigs, got some great ideas for some upgrades. Here is my Mountain Mods UFO Horizon case. It's been through a few biulds but I luv the dam thing, it's been a great case, an so easy to work on with the horizonal Mobo tray.
Why is your reservoir external? Other than that, it looks good :up:
Hey, I like the external res. Adds color. The whole rig looks mighty fine!
Ha ha ha...
reminds me of
http://www.after5catalog.com/images/...72-06601p1.jpg
nice build!
Thanks ya all, I wish my wife liked it as much.....LOL I found out in other rigs I had that the more fluid you have the slower heat soak becomes an issue and there outside the warmth inside the case, so at the time those were the largest resevoir availible (250cc) and yes it very easy to fill and work on. and they would not fit in case anyways, I ran out of room...LOL each loop holds over 32oz of fluid. I also included a night shot.
Just finished my waterbox plus over the weekend, currently still bleeding to get rid of the tiny bubbles. May change my videocard once the Asus 3870X2 Top comes out or if the 4870's beat it to market.

thanks! first time running without dyes and to be honest i'm beginning to like it
straight distilled and some pt nuke
@pvtdonuts - That is one awesome rig :up:
Thanks! I'll try and get some daytime pics of it up later today, gotta say though the new DD fat boy barbs are awesome
I'm actually using 7/16 tubing and even with that all u need to do is wet the barbs alittle and they slide right on, getting em off is pretty tough b/c of the ridges, but thats why I dont use clamps or zipties this time around. The barbs look really nice too, with 1/2 i think they could slide on very easy
This will sound wierd lol, but I sometimes use a waterbased lubricant (yer laugh all you want guys)
**Head out of the gutter yet??**
and that lets it slip right over the barb.
**No didnt think so, wont be now.**
And its usually a bit easier to pull off again aswell..
Vaseline. The solution to many of life's problems.
Upgraded my loop and motherboard ;) . I ainīt good with modding:sofa:.
clean cabling and short tubing. who needs modding when you have that??
It's the effort, not the product, that counts.
new chipset waterblock
