Hi all, let me start by saying this is a great community and im glad to be here :welcome: with out further ado i present to you

http://evil98.insanity-asylum.com/co...wrecker/19.jpg

initally it was a TT armor build, which would be a revision to my existing
system but with some help this is now a completely new build just taking
my old cpu and putting it in this system. so im considering it a different
computer were before it was just a revision. anyways :up:

im warning you there are alot of pics and more to come. so that is the reason
why alot of the images are small so all users (maybe even 56k) can view
with ease.

lets begin.

necessary ones

say hello to TJ07, the box is just absolutely massive i mean a small family
could live in there comfortably. first impression of the TJ07 was wow.
every part of it is very nicely engineered but the the anodizing isnt that
good. not very strong and with further inspection the case had be touched
up with what i presume to be sharpies... but its ok. there small spots so
its not that big of a deal. no the less an amazing case

here i just put the anti cyclone to the test. i purchased it in case of any
cycloning but forgot that the supreme takes good care of that :shakes: (restrictive)
anyways was fun, found out the pump dumps alot of heat in to a loop but
thats a really short loop.

finally got home and opened everything, very impressed with all the parts
especially with the striker, i think they could of made the presidency much
more profound. some times see out of place and just over all design could
be improved but, hey what do i know, im just a designer.. :up: anyways

got another box filled with goodies. stripped the dominator fans, tapped the
thermal right back plate for m4 screws that came with the supreme, started
to install some stuff, put some LEDs behind the mobo for some back light.
not as effective as i thought. has noting to light up so might be changing
that little

testing the G11 also you can see that im testing my fittings which
consist of ek 1/2" barbs and a 1/2" copper elbow fused together seal with
some tubing. not a bad solution, pretty much like a compression fitting
no leaks, no issues, flow is good too :up:

also got my fans installed up top, cut down the wire and hide it out of site
i like to plan my wire management ahead of time. clean is always good

installed everything, tubed it up filled the loop and ran it for a few days my
HD were DOA which is ok b/c newegg replaced them for me which is nice.
found some nice green stuff floating around... so i drained the loop and
started to rethink the process. wanted to go dual loop but ill have to buy
a 240GTX and some DDC which i dont have the money for right now :shakes:
but a single loop proved to be pretty darn good.

so i drained the loop disassembled the block and found my green friends just
hanging out... :rofl: clean it up, drained the system, boiled out the rad
rinsed the system out with distilled and i was back and running. finally
received my 775 plate. thanks eddy :yepp: looks really nice :up:

well those switches i bought from petra looked really really nastly. the used
some 12v lamp inside and was a yellow color which made the switch look
green so i dremeled some blue LEDs to size and shoved them in there inlined
a resistor and waa laa. a REAL blue rocker switch

mounted the radiator, fitted very nicely. did some painting. from personal
experience especially with metals i skip priming. all i do i give it a nice sanding
with 400 grit and clean it really well. then i just warm up the material before
painting and put down light coats and force dry them between each coat.
then a nice wet matte finish clear which i also force dry. comes out strong
and quite nice. cut a hole out on the dividing tray for cables. painted that tray
as well. picked up some plexi, got some special plans :) and made a plexi plate
for the switches in the front.

Holy :banana::banana::banana::banana:!
Wicked build mate! ^^

..... All I can say is.....
O-MY-GOSH!!!!!!!!! :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

That is some wicked hardware "evil"!!!
How how was it to sleeve the ATX connecter?

I can't wait for more pics!!

more pics coming ill answer some questions in a few still updating lol

Looks awesome Evil!

Like that you have a frame for the pictures - looks really cool!

Can't wait for more!

[QUOTE=smee;2818563How how was it to sleeve the ATX connecter?[/QUOTE]

I did mine on each wire and with 3mm sleaving and 2.5mm heat strink, took a good 2 hours but looks amazing

Oh my Goat that looks like pr0n. I just really love your products you chose and I like the 24pin sleeving. How did you dissasambled all 24 cables?

Damn, nice work; scratch that, amazing work. I would second the request for a comment about how to/painful doing the ATX 24pin like that is.

Wow. Well worth the "tease".

I love a CLEAN build. Makes me itch to get back to mine and finish it up.

ill take some pics of how i did it tonight, my mid term is over so im free for a few days. yay but we started a new 6 week project already... :(

thanks for all the nice comments ! :up:

whats up with the DEAD note its on the HDD's? They not working or something?

yea the drives were DOA went through the RMA process got them back brand spanking new from newegg. :up:

More and more I'm thinking of scrapping my TJ08 plans and getting a TJ07 to play with.

Awesome looking build, you have some of the coolest stuff, Evil. :up:

Wow, three dead HD's, someone must have packed them wrong or they just got pummeled in shipping.

yea i plugged them in turn the system on and i could smell burning. and electronic burning smell is very distinctive and i knew it was them.. tested them individually no go. RMA

It's finally here :)

my order from performance pcs came into day, but im at work right now.. so rawr

wow man alot of work has gone into this rig!!! looks awesome..

I like how you mounted you had's and with the raptor @ the front so you can see it doing it's thang lol.

Could you go into more detail how you did that mate?

I'm interested to see how you deal with the front of your tj07.

sure its best explained in this picture

http://evil98.insanity-asylum.com/co...wrecker/83.jpg

i used the mounts from my scythe HD mounts that i was going to use but
decided to go with this solution. the only thing that i really needed to do
was tap the 4/40 holes on the mount to accept 6/32. i didnt have to but
wanted to :yepp:then the mounts screw directly onto the harddrive :)
which doubles for vibrations too

thanks for stopping by :welcome:

damn nice build man!!! makes my things looks crap now hahaha

Holy crap dude, that looks sick so far :D

I have a pair of quick questions:

1. Were the cables on the Silverstone PSU long enough to reach the optical drive in the top 5.25 bay or did you have to add some length.

2. Are the brackets you used to mount the rad to the case custom or are they available from some retailer or another?

Thanks, I look forward to the next installment.

very nice. cant wait to see more. i gotta get around to painting the interior of mine

Excellent work! :)

killer system man

Wow, I'm keeping an eye on this one. Nice work!

actually i didnt check if the cable was long enough i just made one right away and inlined it in to my molex line so i can minimize cables. so that blue SATA power cable i just added you can see in the pic

http://evil98.insanity-asylum.com/co...recker/100.jpg

and those brackets are just some small "L"s i bought at ace hardware

____________________________________________

thanks for the interest guys. got some more stuff today and did some work yesterday ill post the pics in a few

update:

got my clips for the my res yesterday and its really nice ! i like it alot. cut
some more plexi, this time im covering the bay area. need to cut some opening
for the optical drive. i need to pick up a few bolts and nuts for the res clips
right now its just sitting there. plumbing has become an issue. there is very
little room for the pump, and i need to fab a new mount... and im short on
tubing! grr well anyways enjoy :)

haha, yea... it's a pain to do, but it's well worth it in the long run.
I plan on doing this on my build.....:rolleyes:

do it! just make sure you have enough sleeving lol! i almost ran out

it looks awesome, the sleeving :p: the rest of it does too!
great stuff, look forward to the next update ;)

where in socal are you located?

thanks for the comments! cant wait to get home to do some more work lol

im in LA

thats a nice looking setup, amazes me how poeple can make it look so awesome :)

Looks great! It's always fun to watch these types of builds come together.

update:

just putting more working, starting to put in the tubing. thinking of ways to inline
some temp sensors but no idea now water proof these probes are. :shrug: im sure
theyll be fine. res is bolted down now and put in some sound dampening mats looks
nice in my opinion.

enjoy

Keep up the good work! :up:

WOW!! :slobber: That is just soo neat! Very good eye to detail, i really like it.

I like the way you sleeved everything, all the way to the connectors.

2 questions, i see you have those led beams (what are they called?) hidden behind the mobo, do you have a pic of the effect?

Other question, what are those adhesive ccfl holders, they look awesome, much better than the velcro that comes as standard.

great build dude..

looks sik mate

more updates

siiiiiick.

more pics more pics :p:

Nice Job! I have a question. How did you sleeve the sata cables? I have some that I want to sleeve but I just don't know how to. I tried to take the end off but I think you have to solder it back on if you do. Maybe I am wrong though.

hey thanks for the interest!

ive gotten much further, i actually have a working system :)
my camera is at work and ive been really really busy. hopefully
i can get any update tomorrow after class, or wed. but just
in brief.

everything is just peachy

@spoony: you dont have to take off the connector, just
get the correct size heat shrink or get 3/8" heat shrink
and carefully stretch it to the right size. i like doing that
because it shrinks tighter. all i do is measure how much i
need, add a 1/4" to it because when you stretch it, it
shrinks alittle. then slide the heat shrink on to some needle
nose pilers and carefully stretch it to a perfect size. thats
all you got to do. i like to put a ziptie into keep the sleeve
from moving around, but you dont have to do that.

am i allowed to hate you? because i do XD

That is such a disgustingly sick rig i think i wanna puke with happiness.

How many hours have you put into that thing? i couldn't even begin to start with that kind of customisation and fabrication you've put into that machine.

:up: :up: :up:

could U post a SS with P95 and load on all 4 cores with Coretemp?

Btw, thats one heluva beast!

@jadeskye: lol um thanks, its been hard to keep track of how many hours i put in but its been a long time now working on this project

@Aerosupra: sure, can someone show me how to use prime? i could never get it to work with all 4 cores.

thanks for the comments guys.

Thanks. I will have to try that when I get home.

Nice job on the rig! :clap: :clap:

I have done a search and can't find what 'metal' this jet plate is?
It's lasercut I know, but it looks to be aluminium. Explains the green friends :)

Any idea if its Al? It certainly doesn't look like nickel or SS !

PS: Awesome build ;)

I really like the way you've sleeved each individual PSU wire on the 24-pin. Can we get some close-ups of that?

Ah ok. Where does it say that?

Eddy_EK said it himself. Just do a search here for the EK Supreme and you will find a big thread about it.

must of missed it, thanks

ok guys get ready :) hope you like it, i know alot of the pics are redundant but bare with me

this is how the system currently looks like. there are a few things that need to be
fixed, im going to raise the radiator about 1/2", finish applying noise dampening material
wire up the switches in the front, havent decided what they are for yet but will soon
be determined. just some touching up with some stuff. also my drive is hidden behind
a bay cover, and i extended the switch, so i need to mount the switch. but everything
is quiet peachy right now, not happy with two of my cathoes there dimmer then the
other two, but that always happens

well enjoy

correct :yepp:

@CodeNinja: thanks :up:

Doesn't look like you have the nuts on the waterblock tightened all the way. The springs don't even look fully compressed, but it's hard to tell from an angle.. I guess if you're getting good results, that's all that matters.

Can i ask, when sleeving the 24 power cable, how did you group the wires? are they all individually done?
I think next step is to get a copper mount plate for the Ek supreme! it would fit so well with the surrounding heatsinks

correct not fully compressed, i dont feel like theres a need i tried have compression
and temps didnt change one of the cores evened out.. but temp went up. :down:

@ls206: each cable was individually done. ek has a copper mount plate?!
that would look nice :up:

:( i don't think EK have a copper mount plate....but man would it look good!

cheers dude, just watching this build has kept me browsing for hardware and modding supplies.....it's not good you know! :D

yes its quite a deadly addiction :eek: :p:

Thanks for inspiring me to go on with my case (Lian-Li PC71) :up:
Very very well done, very clean too... major PITA to sleeve 24pin cable wasn't it? ;)
Again very well done :up:

omg!

Nice pictures :up:
I'll check details later :D

Outstanding photos! That machine is really coming together nicely

Great job man, very well thought out.

Insanely expensive but awesome! Very nice build.

Fantastic machine!!!

Do you mind if i copy your raptor x mod?

I was going to do the same..and put acrylic in the front drive bays to see it.

Evil enter your rig for march sli rig of the month!!!! go now!!!!! 3months in row do it!

Awesome setup! I would really like to know how the tubing is done especialy around the radiator and the pump. COuld you maybe post a scheme?
Thanks!

Evil, what size heatshrink you using for your sata cables, I just tried 10mm and some 20mm, one wouldnt fit other is too big :(

Thanks

all i do is take my 3/8" heat shrink, stretch it alittle with needle nose pliers
to a sizes that fits and waa laa

ill post a tut if you dont understand

@MMhardKy: ill get some pictures for you tonight, you can see how the
pump is tubed on page 2 and how i run my drain. from there its pretty
straight forward, just a long tube for the outlet to the cpu block

have a whinge bud

Wow!!

Fantastic worklog,, looks terrific!

I would love to know how you managed to get the cable sleeving inside the ATX connector?! I have been trying for that effect but it didnt turn out as planned.

If you could explain how you managed to get the cable sleeving to fit inside the ATX connector much appreciated!

Regards

sure, heres my tip, try to keep the sleeves from frailing. when i cut my sleeves down to size i use a lighter to melt the ends to keep from from frailing but specifically forcing the ends to be very small with a hole barley big enough for the pin/cable to go through. ill take a few pictures to show you what i mean. but generally i just pushed it into the 24pin plug and it stayed :shrug: nothing special. if that doesnt help ill try to get some pictures

:welcome:

Great job you did there evil, i hope mine turns out as good as yous :)

If you could get some pics of how you did it that would be fantastic!

Once again, congrats on the build! Looks awesome.

Regards

Thanks a lot for that, it worked perfectly, i used 10mm heatshrink :up:

Indeed Great and AWESOME man... i wonder how long it takes to finish the job, reading alone your post, and seeing those pictures gave me a long time and enough to prove that you're really a badass rig enthusiast!

photoshop alone takes a long time for all of those photos....

i wish i could be very good in what you are doing right now... haha

thanks! ive been busy with school and work but the project is still going on! got a few parts being ordered.. lets just say DUAL LOOP.. :)

just a quick question for you folks

mcr320 on the 2 GPUs or the CPU? im getting some really good temps with them both being in the same loop but will either lose performance from being split? i dont think so right? i mean that wouldnt make sense lol i just hope that the dual loop is a good choose!

hey man, why dont you go for pa 120.3?

and dump all componets in one loop? well first b/c i love my 360gtx and it pains me to see her go lol, and second its quiet expensive i have a few mcr320 nib that i would like to put to use,

one day ill get a 120.3 but i just cant afford it at the moment. school take a huge % of my revenues.. its no fun being a poor designer with a heavy computer enthusiast sickness..

plus give me a reason to build another rig!

Lol...

That's what you call,

"The Itch That Never Heals!"

hahaha

i don't think you cant afford the pa's... looking on those sigs... you're joking if you can't afford those... hehe

go on, now is the time to experience the power of pa 120.3...


me laugh evil... haha http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...d/balancin.gif
