wow, pretty sweet...
Ive thought about running wire through pipes before but mine would have never turned out so well finished.

I manage my cables like I manage my room... it may take some digging but I can always find what I'm looking for eventually.
wow i didnt see all of that.
i didint realize those pieces of copper were live...
I wonder how the PSU handles that.
looks impressive!
perfect german work ;)
Man, that's amazing :eek:
Made my rig looked like i didnt paid attention to it :(
Thats impressive and risky but none the less a sweetazz mod..
LOL, couldnt agree more.Quote:

thats a damn stupid idea, but it looks good. I would never run live rails like that through my system. just to many things to go wrong.
Live rails, water cooling, what could possibly happen?
I guess thats why its so XtremeQuote:

But those live copper really is trouble waiting to happen, maybe some type of transparent paint in a thicker coating could help...

I actually think it'd look cooler with a cylindrical acrylic sheath running the length of the copper rods. It'd fasten right to the existing mounts.
Crazy or not, it sure does look sweet
this modster is a freak
imagine his house
pens lined up nice and neat heheheheh
wow he went to the extreme on that
some poor unsuspecting soul will reach into his computer, and, well dinner will be served... seriously, i think that its quite foolish, but the work put unto it is astounding. i would be more worried about his hard drives then his mobo.
The voltage from the PSU isn't gonna be enough to shock anyone, it is only 12 volts after all. The only danger I see with the way he has it is the possibility of shorting them together (loose screw for example).
Yeah thats not a human threat, it wont shock you but it could end the systems life instantly if somthing shorts it out.
More than the power rails wich I think is neat, is the fact he said he soldered all the ATX stuff directly to the mobo from the backside. That is what I think is the bad idea. That mobo and maybe the PSU are pretty much set in stone to never be used for anything else, for sombody like me who has had to remove his psu, mobo, ect ect on several occasions to do a mod, clean, and other things this would be a very very bad idea.
So in effect its very showy but fails to perform IMO.
You see just about as many wires in my case due to neat cable managment, but they still come right off the mobo when I need them too.
That's beyond sick
12 volts at 30+ amps is alot of power my friend.Quote:

volts is the potential electrical difference between two objects and amps is the amount of current. current is what kills.
as purdy as those rails are you wouldn't want to be rubbing them when the psu is on.
mm, current is the one that pwnes.
This is pretty extreme, but even so
I wanna see liquid cabling dammit.
mercury maybe?
liquid cabling???? wow.
tell me though, what benefits would this have over conventional cables?
here's a nugget for ya, i'm am soon awaiting a set of pure carbon cables. 48 000 filiments in just under 3mm.
should be interesting...
dangerous or not, well done on the XS spirit. Next up: Hardlines for IDE /sata cables?
this is xtreme system not xtreme caution forum :p:
no, that's his watercooling :slap:Quote:

Oh **** place a ferrite/iron rod between the grounds...EEEK. If a powersurge ever comes, not only the mobo will get knocked. Prolly like everything in the room :D
Btw, i bet that doesnt comply with fcc rules :D
Just to let everyone know, human skin can resist up to around 35v, and rough skin (lumberjacks and boatmen and such) can do up to 60v. My uncle used to be a serious competitor in single kayak races. He was an electrician by proffesion. He's russian btw. No safety involved. Touching bare live midvolt leads was his proffesion.
You can die of 50mA.Quote:

he did an excellent job. It looks good and works well. Thats all he wanted to do and he accomplished it. Unlike you guys, I don't take my machine apart every day and im willing to be neither does he. He did a good neat job. I kinda wish I had the room to do something similar to my case since I already have hard liquid lines in my loop. But I run a mid tower and have no were near the room he does.
enough criticizing. Different things are for different people. Not all apply to everyone.
I tip my hat to him. Good craftsmanship.
Well, I've held bare wires connected to a PSU before to keep them in place when messing with stuff and haven't gotten zapped yet.Quote:

Its very impressive and definately somehting I would call xtreme. The attention to detail is stunning.
sheesh 12 volts isn't gonna kill you, hell you probably can't even feel 30 volts
does touching a car battery kill you? no. does it have a large capacity of amps? yes.
in other words, touching those metal bars = fine, touching those metal bars with something metal (screwdriver, etc.) = bad
besides, i think it's manditory for all computer psu's to have short circuit protection these days, i've shorted my psu a couple times by accident, no sparks, smoke or explosion, the psu just turns off
that is extremely sick. i only wish i had the time and skills to do something like this. totally awesome work.
wonder if he is an xtreme member?
That is mad crazy!
Okay... that kinda voltage won't penetrate normal skin, but a touch of moisture etc... hello Mr Defibrilator. as has been said, current kills, not voltage. and it takes surprisingly litle to upset your heart (I have a condition (Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome), which involves the electrical pathways to my heart, so I have read up a fair bit on this)Quote:

Short circuit protection? Great, your PSU lives, you don't, a lot will not ract quick enough to save you.
Just be careful out there;)
ANYWAY.......
Cracking Mod... original thinking, especially on the support arrangement.
lol I was thinking about similar things, saw those lights hanging on steel cables at a bar, my idea was to use tiger clamps lol, but the copper pipe beat me to it.
I want to send my comps to this guy to CM my rigs...WOW :woot:Quote:

impressive, but couldnt he have just routed cables behind the motherboard?
12volts at 40+ amps is a :banana::banana::banana::banana:load of wattage, and that is what kills. not voltage or amperage.
Putting live copper rods in a water cooled case is just not responsible.
That's pretty sick I like it :) I worked as an industrial electrician for an number of years so I really like the craftsmanship and style, reminds me of high voltage busbars. If it was me I would put a layer of clear acrylic or something on it to guard against accidental shorts, although the psu would trip before you would do much most likely. Safety wise I don't really see any danger, it's only 12v, not enough to cause a shock.
He solders some of the wires directly to the back of the mobo!!! Mental
Well the electricity would follow a path from source to ground right?
So if you touch the other wire while holding something else (metal) it could flow through your heart and kill you with relative ease.
Correct me if i'm wrong.
Back to the mod:
It is definately extreme but I think I see as many cables as some conventional wire management cases.
Back to school! :slapass:Quote:

Well done.
By the way, guys, doesn't help you have a dam (current) and no pump (voltage) to transport it with ;)
DC can do a lot more damage than AC, but you need roughly 40-50V's to be dangerous.
1 amp can kill you if it travels through your body the right way. ive worked on 30,000 amp boxes before in big warehouses. you can stand 20 feet away and hear the electric flowing. you wouldnt even know what happened if you screwed up on that.
amps kill
I wonder what happens if you drop a CPU on it...
you can overclock more! duhQuote:

nothing wrong with how he did the voltage "rails"
if you manage to shock yourself with 3.3/5/12v DC then you probably deserved it.
Impossible to get hutr on that IMO, unless your stupid enough to lick the 12v rail and the earth, which might tingle a bit.
You wont even feel it if you use your finger (well I wont anyway)
Have you guys never licked a 9v battery to see if its charged or not?
I licked the adapter for my game gear when I was a nipper, and I'm alright :wth:
It is beautiful. Really isn't much more to say. I'm sure there is a way to cover them, like sleeve the copper, but that would be more work. Awesome!
I saw that a while back and never really put it together that it was his power running through it!!! lol
OMG you're ME!!!! i did that!!!!Quote:

That is some very nice craftsmanship work! Very sleek and professional looking.
YES! I also tried licking a phone charger (not a new phone, one of those huge early nineties mobile phones). It makes your whole toungue taste like metal/sour. Must be the electricity stimulating the toungue or something.Quote:

I am in love... Absolute secks

what kind of PSU is this one?
i think "extreme" is an understatement :)
I think I just got myself a new project :D
a guy in my city has a uglish case as he doesn't have tons and tons of cash to spend but his water loop is copper piping thats nice and polished with copper joints and such -- his wiring is the same thing basically looks space tech
if you touch the copper tubes will your face turn into a light bulb?
we have already established that human skin has too great of resistance for electricity to travel through it (reason insulation around wires works)Quote:

yeah but just one AMP across the heart = DeathQuote:

have you ever unplugged somthing from the wall? if the answer is yes explain why your still talking to us here on the forums. For that matter why does your house have electricity? why doesnt the electricity just go straight from the power line through the pole down to the ground.Quote:

That is extremely nice and crazy.
I don't understand how this is xtremesystems and more than half of us aren't understanding electricity. I thought it was well established in high school (middle school even) about things like this. You can touch it you'll be fine. You can wet your hands and touch it you'll be fine. You can lick it you'll be fine. If you lick both the 12v and the ground, it'll be fun kind of
Have none of you licked 9volt batteries?
What about have any of you messed with cable modems? The transmission through those can be ~48V or so AC. Hold the bottom with one hand and the coax cable with the other. Go against friends and see who can hold it the longest. See who ends up with bloody hands
Being an electronics tech I think it's so cool. The bars are rigid enough and you could grab them and not feel a thing, the voltage is so low. If you did feel anything, it would be maybe a tingle. I imagine the resistance of the pipes is so low that you have very low voltage droop due to wire resistance. Of course, that's akin to the improvement in mileage you get if you wax your car finish. I don't mean to diss this work, because I am of the opinion that it is a great example of being extreme; something to be really proud of.
i agree this wont harm you, but lets not go so far as to say electricity wont harm you, some people get struck by lightning and live, others get electricuted by a wet extension chord and die. (happened in my area)
Fact is its not a good idea to electrocute yourself. I however would not worry to much about having this case as my own.
That is pure sex!
Yeah, if electrons don't find a least impedance path, and it finds you, they will definitely go through you to the ground, if the potential themselves and you is large enough to cause a flow.
The most effective way of making a path through your heart is your 2 hands, 1 straight line across. The shorter the path(closer to your heart), the more deadlier . :D
So yeah, touching those rods won't hurt you because electrons don't want you to be its path to the ground anyway, they found better path which is the rods.

Very impressive and a great break for the norm of hiding wires beind the mobo.
fresh thinking is great to see.
I'd be scared of touching the copper....goodbye me and my computer :(
haha oh yeah using both hands is a lot more fun. i remember when we used to play with those flash camera capacitors (roughly 300-450V), I soldered two leads so people could try using both hands. I thought about making some sort of game (or studying tool) where you choose answers abcd or something by touching. Meanwhile you'd have the other end of the cap wired to your other hand. Choose the wrong answer. BOOM. Only one person thought it was a good idea, saying it'd be very encouraging during studying to quickly learn the right answer. hahQuote:

But his rig is moderatly safe if he isn´t afraid of shorting something and doesn´t plan on licking the rails :D
And everybody should appriciate that he has done something new! Great work!
I have english as a second language so there can be some faulty translations of the tech talk :)
