Project: MM Horizon with Duality Front

Yeah I was soooo happy that I finally received my MM case after almost 3 weeks :D

Opening the box was so exciting.

BUT!!!

I felt very miserably when I noticed that I missed one part.
The "standard" for the motherboard tray :S
Like in this picture:
http://www.ypsun.nl/images/ultimatep...y_standard.jpg
The thing I put a black circle on, I'm missing!! :S

And I almost got a heart attack when I opened a sidepanel, see for yourself:

Scratches all around
http://www.ypsun.nl/images/ultimatepc/case_damaged1.JPG

One huge scratch in the plexi
http://www.ypsun.nl/images/ultimatepc/case_damaged2.JPG


What the hell!!!!

I'm so dissapointed right now.
STILL CANNOT BUILD :(

Also some order errors with aquatuning.de
My blackplates from chilledpc.uk still not arrived.

Damnn. Am I so unlucky or what?!

Anywayz, I've mailed MM for support... sigh...

sorry to hear your case is scratched dude... i would return for a new one!

Sorry for the damaged case. The way they are packed would not have allowed those issues in transit even to Holland. They had to be like that before they shipped, I wonder where QC was? Ben @ Mountain Mods is a great guy and should make all this right by you. I know that is a small reassurance after waiting so long. I had to wait over a month for my UFO to land.

Please keep us updated on the problem.

The mobo tray isnt supposed to go all the way over.....thats the way its supposed to be. the plexi, that IS scratched im sorry to say. just send that panel back, and get that build done. :-D

Wait, NVM man. that sucks. Realized that the red case wasnt yours. :-(

Damn that sucks. But I am sure with a quality company like Mountain Mods they will make it the situation right.

Yea def. Just call em and tell em what happened. Much better response and so forth over phone. But im sure you knew that anyway seeing as you got modular. ;)

That case should have never shipped like that,i feel your pain mate waiting all that time only to get a duff case.

Yeah I really got a sleepless night.

But this morning I checked everything again, and guess what.
Another damage discovered on the case, in the front panel :(

It's not so big one, but still, you can see it very clear:
http://www.ypsun.nl/images/ultimatepc/case_damaged3.JPG
I've tried to paint it back with a CD marker (the left scratch), but you still can see the scratch :(
The right one, I just left it as it is, you can see the difference.

Anyway, I've got an email back from MM.
They'll sent me a new panel and the horizon/motherboard tray with some goodies.
So that'll make it allright :)

Hope they'll also sent me a new front panel.
Because these 2 damages on the front panel is like a needle in my eye..

they shipped the new unit to me and no issues with the case

I'm just unlucky I guess.

But I do think it's a little strange to ship such damaged panels.

It should be checked before shipped right??
This is just very troublesome and could be prevented by a simple check...

To forget the motherbordtray brace..ok.. humans make mistakes and can forget something..
The front panel.. ok.. if you're very busy packing, you might not notice the scratches on top.
But the side panel, it's VERY obvious that it's damaged! why still packed?!

That's what's getting me really frustated.

But MM mailed me back that they'll sent me a new sidepanel and the missing brace.
So that's good (after) service.

They have not confirmed the front panel yet. So hope they'll fix that too.

WTF?!?!

I think I'm going nuts.

I thought, let's prepare some of the stuff I have without errors.
So I started with the motherboard tray.

But is it me or what??

It seems that the back of the mobo tray is too high!
The sound/videocards cannot connect to the motherboard completely!

Look at the picture:

You can see that the videocard cannot plug into the mobo completely
http://www.ypsun.nl/images/ultimatep...ay_notfit1.JPG
http://www.ypsun.nl/images/ultimatep...ay_notfit2.JPG


Without mobo, just pci cover plate. You see that it's way too high
http://www.ypsun.nl/images/ultimatep...ay_notfit0.JPG

Is this a fabrication error of did I do something wrong?!?!

You got to be kidding me.

I thought, let's prepare the fans on the backpanel of the case.
So I grabbed the fangrills I also ordered at MM.

And guess what the first fangrill looks like:
http://www.ypsun.nl/images/ultimatepc/case_fangrill.JPG



Also, the toppanel has 8 of these "dots", don't think that's normal too:
http://www.ypsun.nl/images/ultimatepc/case_toppanel.jpg


I'm about to throw everything I ordered last weeks out of the window

OH cmon this is ridiculous!! i hope someone from mountain mods comes's in here and sees this

I sent them emails, so they should already know about this.

The bottom, casters, one sidepanel and backpanel are fine.
(backpanel a few minor scratches, but not very noticable, so I'll let that just be)

So I just installed the fans on the backpanel, just to have a little fun after all these dissapointments.

But I noticed a small thing.
I also ordered 10 Yate Loons fans.
One of them, misses a "black round sticker" on the motor.
Is that also going to cause problems? (maybe dust in the motor or something)

Check (the left one has a black sticker in the middle, the right one has no sticker):
http://www.ypsun.nl/images/ultimatep..._nosticker.JPG

Yeah I can do a lot of things to solve the problems.
But the problems shouldn't be there!

The products are broken/faulty and it isn't my job to fix it...

Damn, hope your luck improves...

Sounds like either a careless employee, or a new hire. Maybe if they created a system to know who packaged teh case, things would change, as each employee would be responsible for thier work.

that sucks akuma, spending so much $$ on a case and gettin damaged goods. i'd be furious. i hope my silverstone tj07 arrives ok

Would be nice if the MM guy came on the forum and fix this for you mate,as with all the damage in your order it would make me think twice before buying anything from them again.

Damn indeed, hope it gets sorted.



Ross

It really sucks, I was sooo hoping to get my PC build last week.

Now it'll be next week or the week after is everything goes well from now on.

I've mailed MM now, they'll replace the sidepanel and sent the horizon brace.

The toppanel and frontpanel can be replaced too, but then I would have to sent that all back to MM.
And then they'll sent the new panels with slow shipping (because of the volume) so it'll take a lot longer!!

Damn, I can't wait any longer, it's almost holidays and then I have to work a lot and got no time left for PC building.
So I have to build this PC before christmas :(

I suggested that I keep the front and toppanel and that MM can compensate with something.
The sidepanel is too damaged, so that one they HAVE to ship to me new, with the horizon brace and fangrill ofcourse.

That could be done with FEDEX so I'll have it next week.

About the motherboard tray, I haven't got an answer yet.
They asked me if I used the supplied standoffs. And yes I did, so what can cause the problem then?!

Also, I'm missing one tampered screw (I have 15 out of 16).
It's possible I lost one, while opening the little bag, but I don't think so (I work very carefully).


Right now, I'm waiting for MM's respond email..

Well, finally got some good news :)

I've played around with the motherboard tray, and with using more force than normal, I can get the videocard fit in the motherboard!
So the Tray is allright!!
I should have tried/played around a little more before I had posted this problem.
My apologies to MM for this one.

But the other problems remain though...

Anyway, as said, I will keep the front, bottom and backpanel.
(although front and back is a little scratched, but with a black marker, it's not that visible, see the pictures).

I got a little time left, so I build the chassis :)

http://www.ypsun.nl/images/ultimatepc/case_1_front.JPG
http://www.ypsun.nl/images/ultimatepc/case_1_left.JPG
http://www.ypsun.nl/images/ultimatepc/case_1_back.JPG
http://www.ypsun.nl/images/ultimatepc/case_1_right.JPG

Now I hope that MM will sent out the missing Horizon Brace and the replacement Side Panel and with some compensation early this week, so I can FINALLY start building!

Also still waiting for the mosfets and cpu backplates from chilledpc.co.uk
(previous shipment is lost! :S)

And also waiting for the EK-Asus 1 Acrylic mobo waterblock set from Aquatuning.de
(they had sent me the acetal, while I ordered the Acryl... :( sent the acetal back last week).

So if all three firms can ship their products out this week, I hope I can build my pc this weekend!!!

man, you got some bad luck, hopefully it improves.

Are you going to use 2 water pumps or just 1?

Yeah, really hope from now on no more bad luck :)

I'm going to use two 18W DCC pumps. 2 loops.

CPU - NB - Mosfet 1 - Mosfet 2
GPU 1 - GPU 2 - SB

Sure is looking mighty mean/cool with those PA 120.3 just waiting for H02!

Is this Mobo flat/horiz or vert in this case? Methinks a horizontal one is in my future, much easier to tinker with.

Mobo is horizontal in this case ;)

I need some help.
I don't know how to mount the pumps and reservoirs.

I got these pumps:
http://www.ypsun.nl/images/ultimatepc/DCC-pump.JPG

How should I build these two in the case??

It has to be placed somewhere here, in this picture:
http://www.ypsun.nl/images/ultimatepc/case_1_right.JPG

I had the same problem with my GPU's. The standoffs from MM are shorter than most, I used the standoffs from my stacker, and it fit just fine.

Updated build a little bit :D

Replaced my Raptors to front, behind the lower rad, next to the other HDDs.
I did this, because the backpanel is too "soft" to hold the HDDs (too much vibration).

Installed the 5.25 bays as you can see.
2x Samsung DVD-RW
1x FDD
1x Aero Cool PowerWatch (for 2 fans back and 2 fans on top, also temp reader :D)
1x Zalman ZM-MFC1 Plus (for the 6 fans on the rads)

I did not mount the Pumps yet, still figuring out how to place them.

The the two Microres reservoirs I mounted on the drive bay with a little mod :)

Looks pretty neat doesn't it? :D

See the pictures:

wow. you have had some bad luck with all those dents and whatnot.

Yeah had indeed veeery bad luck :(

But the bad luck it turning around (although I wait a loooong time for it..),
The firms I've ordered the products from are doing the best to solve the problems!

Good news till today:
www.chilled-pc.co.uk resent the backplates without costs, should get it tomorrow. Great service Tom, thnx!
www.aquatuning.de resent the Acryl blocks + my new order (UV-lights etc.) with great discount!!! This will also be delivered tomorrow :D
Thnx Aquatuning for compensation and service!

Only Mountainmods.com... still haven't got reply on my email from sunday.. :(
Hope MM will also ship asap, because tomorrow, I'll have everything for my build, except the parts of my case from MM!

well to me it looks like a scam, so much money paid for such a (and i am not afraid to say ) :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: , the company shipped from US to Holland so they probably didn't care and they thrown in the "garbage" they have lying on the shelfs because they thought that someone from another end of the globe wouldn't care about it, guess what he do cares ! And so am i , i would be red hot mad if such a thing would happen to me.
Never had a good opinion (or any ) about the MM "cases" they are plain but ugly and cheap made skeletons (sorry to guys that own such a crap but that's my point of view).

There's no need to talk crap just because you don't like the case.
I don't think MM sent him a bunch of what should be discarded parts on purpose. My immidate guess was that it was mistake during packaging, and the parts packed were parts that were discarded or something like that.

And btw. MM cases are awesome and anything but cheap.

well like i said/wrote it's my opinion , everybody deserves to have what he payed for and not something like this, if the package was so "securely" packed then it shouldn't be so damaged, i wonder how many of these "US to EU " shipments are like this.
After all these things said i hope he will get his setup ok in the end :]:cool:

Yeah, I was thinking the same way when I discovered the damaged parts.
I was very mad, because the order was over 600 dollars and waited for 3 weeks.
Also the other orders from other firms went wrong, so got a little crazy.

But after calming down, I realised again every company can make mistakes.
Small or big mistakes, most important thing is then the after service!

If the company fixes the problem fast and in a proper way, then the mistakes can be forgiven and there's nothing bad to be said about the company.

If not, the company should die!!!!!

Anyway, MM plans to replace all of the damaged parts!
(except the frontpanel, the scratches are not visible, because of the drive bay, so doesn't need replacement).
And they will sent me some goodies for compensation.
They will ship out tomorrow with FeDex, so should be here by friday.

I'll post if I everything goes allright this time, then they'll have another happy customer.

So please wait making judgements on MM.

Have you ever owned one? Probably not. I havnt, but seeing as everyone that owns them thinks that they are awesome, that is my general opinion as well. Dont talk S*** by saying a reputable company PURPOSEFULLY tried to scam someone when you have never had any experience with the company or their products.

I still think that you should call them. But it would be VERY long distance. Depends on how much it means to you. You would get a very helpful and fast response though.

How is the clearence between your video cards and the front 5.25 bays? I originally asked them about a horizon setup like that and was told the vid cards would not fit, also when I talked to MM they were concerned about not having airflow over the MB even if most parts are water cooled.

The 5.25 bays, got 3 bays each.
At the side of the vidoecard, I got the 2 DVD drives above and in the lower bay I have the FDD.
The FDD doesn't stick out at the back, so the 8800 should just fit with a little space left for the IDE cables for the DVD drives.

As for the airflow, I got the "original top" with has 2 fans.
These will be "outtake" fans, that'll will blow out the heat from the inside/motherboard.
Also another fan at the back, that will blow out.

So I guess there will be enough airflow around the motherboard.

Also, I'm going to cool the mosfets, NB and SB with watercooling.
And I have the OCZ XTC Cooler for my Memory.

So great airflow over my motherboard isn't really needed in my case, I guess.

Damn, no shipment from MM today.
It'll be Monday then :(

Also Mosfets and CPU backplates still not here :(

All other things are here.

So waiting for backplates, so I can mount the waterblocks on the motherboard.
And waiting for the Horizon Mobo Tray Brace, so I can built the motherboard into the case and go live :D

Got nothing to do, so I sleeved some of the cables with green UV sleeving.
Also placed 5 UV lights :)

http://www.ypsun.nl/images/ultimatep...sleevedUV2.JPG
http://www.ypsun.nl/images/ultimatep...sleevedUV3.JPG

I couldn't wait any longer, so I build the motherboard on the tray.
Without the backplates :P
I didn't screw too much, so the motherboard wasn't bending :)

See the Pics:

http://www.ypsun.nl/images/ultimatepc/tray4.JPG

AND DAMNN!!!!

I can't install the OCZ XTC Memory cooler, because of the videocard :(

BUT, I found a temporary solution:
http://www.ypsun.nl/images/ultimatepc/oczxtc1.JPG
http://www.ypsun.nl/images/ultimatepc/oczxtc2.JPG

looking really nice mate

Whats with the cardboard holdups for the RAM fan? Do you not have the things that normally would clip onto the RAM?

My video card also bumps into my OCZ memory cooler. I just insulated it with some electrical tape and the card 'rests' on it now. That may look better than the cardboard ;)

Damnit I guess I need to read more closely. I completely missed the part about it not fitting. Bummer dude.

I suggest that you consider switching to the Corsair Dominator Airflow. That cardboard and/or electrical tape is a risk to your expensive video card.

yeah the dominator ram fan also looks better with all the stickers off imo :up:

I have the CoolIt RAM fan, and it's much smaller than the OCZ and will probably clear the GPU. You should check it out.

In what way is the card board a risk?

pretty sure he means if the unit was to fall on the GFX card or something. But since you are doing a horizon motherboard setup that shouldnt be a problem.

w0000t!

Received my package from MM today.

Brand new sidepanel + toppanel WITHOUT scratches!
And some goodies!

THNX MM!!

Everything is allright now!


Just build my PC and leak tested.
Didn't run 24 hours, because I don't have the time :P

Installing Vista Ultimate 64bit right now.

System Specs:
Asus Striker Extreme BIOS 1.00G 1301, pencil modded
Q6600 G0 @ stock (right now), 21-25 celcius
2x 2GB G.Skill DDR2 PC1000

1x D-Tek Fuzion
1x EK-Asus 1 Acryl Mobo Set
2x EK-8800 Blocks
4 meters Tygon 3603
1x OCZ XTC Memory Cooler


BUT my Aerocool Powerwatch is broken WTF!??!?!
The Thermal Sensors of the CPU and Case are broken damnit!
Now it keeps beeping all the time and it can't read the temps.
Really sucks.
The thing also doesn't control the fans right, it can't run the fans UNDER 1000RPM, that really sucks :S

So guess I have to find a new fan controller with Card Reader and USB front..
Anybody got any tips??
(have to fill 5.25 bays)


Anyway, here some pics:

Thnx :D

But Asus Probe, measured my Motherboard temperature 36 celcius and warned me it's high.

Is 36 celcius normal?
And it's even watercooled.

Finished my build today :D

An awesome built man! Congratz. Aerocool Powerwatch is the most worthless POS ever. I'm glad you got rid of it. I had one before it miserably fails in about 4 months. Then I learned that these suckers aren't even properly grounded so It was a big electrical danger to your system. I also ran into the same motherboard tray height issue that you experienced. I was getting blue screens all over then I discovered my video cards weren't in place due to the same height problem. I solved this by getting longer mobo screws (hard to find!). Glad everything worked out fine for you.

Thnx.

About the motherboard tray, my videocard fits now fine, with some "brute force".

But my Soundcard (creative X-Fi Gamer), doesn't fit at all!!!
I had to mod the bracket of the Soundcard.
I bent the top the other way around and screw it to the stray with some metal plate :P
You can see it in this picture:
http://www.ypsun.nl/images/ultimatepc/tray3.JPG

Now tuck away those cables and you have one mean lean fragging machine !!

don't worry about Asus probe, my Striker too was always around 33-35°C mobo temp, disable the fan on the rams and it will go up as I though the sensor for mobo temp is near the first dimm slot...

Good job mate !!

Hey Leeghoofd, thnx a lot :)

I will tuck away the cables in January, now I have to work a lot and I have to move to a new apartment the 28th :S

So very busy!

But what do you mean with "disable the ram on the fans"?

I had a few quality issues with my Custom MM case too, though nothing near as bad as what you've experienced. I got a few small scratches, and the plexi on the top window is cracked in the corner. I also waited close to 3 months for my case.

Anyways awesome build man, I love it!

Lol Typo mate, no just to see if the mobo temp rises then as the sensor is near the first dimm slot and not the NB like many peeps thought in the beginning...

If I put all the fans at top speed, my mobo temp will lower to 28-30 degrees :)

But what a noise!!!!

My case is still producing a lot of noise.
Even if all the fans are set around 600RPM (lowest possible with the zalman fancontroller).

That's a real bummer, I thought water cooling will be less noisy, but it's about the same as before :(

Is this because I don't use "shrouds" for my rads?

And does Shrouds really reduce the noise remarkable??

awesome rig mate love it

I have never had good luck with LED fans being quiet. How loud is it really though? I'm using Panaflow L1A and (just order an L1BX since L1A's are discontinued) and at low RPM they are fairly silent. Everyone tells me yates are supposed to be quiter so I ordered a few of those as HD fan and exhaust fans. However using a fan controller the loudest part of my system becomes the D5 pump.

I don't think the thermochills really need shrouds, but that may be fan dependent as well.

The other problem is that all the fans are on the wall of the case so it's almsot as loud as having the cooling be external I suppose but not too much you can do there.

Your right it looks like a PITA to drain your loop, when yo do pickup a Y and add a drainport to the lowest part if possible.

You have 11 or so fans? The Yate Loons are pretty quiet, but with that many going you're going to have some noise.

How are your loops set up? Do you have a single loop or two? You might get better motherboard temps if the NB/SB/MOSFETS were on their own loop.

I really like your push fittings. I may go that route myself, but it is hard to justify scrapping my existing fittings and tubings which cost around $100. :)

Nice build!

The noise is really coming from the front fans.
It's like the turbulence in the rad makes the noise.
The fans on top and back is very quit...

I got 2 loops :)

GPU1 GPU2 SB

CPU NB MOSFET1 MOSFET2

If I let my fans run full speed, my mobo temp will decrease to 30 degrees.

Thnx for the comments! :)


I've tuck away the cables by the way, will make picture soon :)

"I've tuck away the cables by the way, will make picture soon "

Hi akuma, Don't get me wrong I like your style very much, but can't you hide those green cables ;) It's too messy in there. Because of the green cables.

Keep up the good work, and nice log btw.

You are much more patient with the case issues than I would've been. For what those cases cost, every single part should be flawless. It's not like those guys are new to the business. :shakes:

looks great :up:

about it being loud, the dBA build up, like since their all the same dBA to start the first fan is about 28dBA adding a 2nd you hear 30dBA adding a 3rd makes it around 32dBA and so on so with the 6 fans up front you hear around 40dBA

Great build, watching with much interest.:up:

Quick question, on the back panel under the motherboard you have two 120mm fans, does this have the spacing to mount a Thermochill 120.2? If so, three loops:D

I totally forgot this topic.

@ Bollocks, yes, it got spacing for Thermochill 120.2 :)
So maybe in future, I'll do three loops.

Actually, I'm already planning it!

I think the tubes are too small, I don't like the small tubes, I like the 1/2 tubes :)

So this is my plan:
- buy another pump for third loop (NB-SB-Mosfets)
- buy another 120.2 rad for third loop
- buy OCLabs XPTops for the pumps
- buy 1/2 tube (the NB-SB-Mosfets loop will keep the small tubes)
- buy 1/2 fittings
- Then change the CPU and GPU loop to 1/2 tube
- Give NB-SB-Mosfet loop it's own loop

Guess it's a little overkill, but it's fun!
