Project Hulk - TJ07

Hey guys.

Yes, me again :) Time to change the coolant in my "Mortal" PC but I guess that's a lame excuse to change everything ;)

Anyway, Parts will be rolling in soon so I just wanted to get this started, everything is a secret now until I take some pictures (Very soon) I can tell you though that it'll be the same case if you didn't figure :)

This time round, I hope to build an even more "attractive" build than my last, I really can't wait to get this party started. I do have a few sponsors that have hopped aboard, they'll be announced later, all I can say is, I can't wait to start and share some photo's with you guys!!!

Expect more very soon.

I can now reveal one current sponsor, I would like to announce LAMPTRON will be supplying me with lighting for my build! Thanks guys.

I just went through your last worklog and you do some very nice work so I'm looking forward to this one as well! I'm very interested because I just got myself a TJ07, I've wanted one for a long time.

*Subscribed*

Looking forward to the surprises!

Sub'ed:)

Well I had clogging in my loop from the coolant so what's a better excuse to redo the whole thing? :rofl:

Ok, I know you guys hate waiting, so do I, excuse the photo quality, the sun went away as soon as I turned on my camera :mad:

This baby is AMAZING!

Nice James :)

i know the feeling when it comes to a "light cleaning" that turns into a complete overhaul :D

can't wait to see what you have in store :cool:

BTW...thx again for the help w/ the pics - your assistance has been GREATLY appreciated :up:

James is at it again ...

Can't wait to see what you come up with this time.

Out of curiosity dingdong, what made you pick the falcon ?

Mainly the price for the space. I mean, you can go spend so much more on a single Intel drive yet you'd probably won't know the difference.

So far I've plugged in the falcon and it's been working awesomely for a month, I haven't noticed a decrease in speed and Windows 7 starts up soooo quick it's not funny.

Good stuff James! :up:

Looking forward to following along. :)

My first sponsor announced, check the first post ;)

love to see what you will be doing to that murdermod, alright I have my popcorns ready :D

Wow i am looking forward to this ! :)

UPDATE TIME!

Sorry for the wait guys, I know it hurts, I'm kicking inside too, I want to get this UNDERWAY! It all comes down to cash, I have to sell some more items then all my ordering should be complete. I'll be ordering my new motherboard today or tomorrow hopefully, I'm also expecting a package this week from my friend Nils ;)

Anyways! Sponsor time!!!

I can't thank "Andy" from lamptron enough for these products, they're called "Flexlights" are are a strip of LED's which are flexible, great for getting illumination in those hard to reach places. These will be PERFECT for showing off the internals of HULK.

And.....PetrasTechShop!!! Quoc from PT sent me a few nic-nac's which will come in handy for HULK, cheers QUOC! Much appreciated.

That's all for now guys, more is just around the corner, oh crap, I forgot to takes pictures ofmy PSU, not to worry, it'll be getting naked and re-dressed shortly ;)

DD555, I'd love to hear what are your impressions on those Flexlights. I'm eyeing them for my build as well and would like to hear from first hand experience. How bright are they, build quality, does it come with adhesive backing and if so does it leave a residue, etc.

Keep the updates coming man, this is looking good! :)

Looking good :)

GET BACK TO OCAU WHERE U BELONG!!:rofl::rofl::ROTF::ROTF:

so we can see more updates :p:

edit: ot: how does the MX3 stuff compare to the old favourites? unless u havnt already used any... if not let us know!

haha, cheers guys.

Haven't used the MX-3 yet but apparently it's hard to put on but beats MX-2 etc..

dingdong, nice stuff! looking forward to the updates
subscribed ;)

Good to see an up-date, keep them coming,

Interesting to see what you do with those LED strips, bought one couple weeks ago but haven't decided what to do with it yet, subscribed :)

I got some from PPC's and I have to say that are REALLY bright. I got white ones, and my windowed server illimunates the room it is in. Extremely flexable too, and a moderate build quality as I see very little chance of distroying them.

I did not recieve any adheasive, but was easy enough to track down at a local shop.

I will most likely find a place for some in my upcoming Murdermod ;)

.....and it continues.

Sorry about the delay guys, in order to buy new parts, I had to sell my old parts, I know the waiting sucks, for you and for me. I'll make it up though ;)

New GPU on the way, some other EK goodies + I still have to do my order from Jab-Tech but I'm just waiting for something special...

Looks like I'll have a busy weekend thanks to my friend Nils! The new MDPC-X.com coloured sleeve is AMAZING!!! These pictures DO NOT justify the real product and how it looks in real life, thanks to my camera, I can't show you guys the PURE colour p0rn!

Love his drawings.

Red/Orange/Yellow! The colours are AMAZING in real life.

This PSU took me well over 2 weeks to find in Australia, mainly because its been discontinued, AFAIK there was only 1 left when I ordered this.

100% Modular design!

eVGA SLI LE - This baby is a "Classified - Back in Black" pretty much, just without all the "Fancy" bells and whistles. You may also notice the 6gb of Corsair 1600mhz 8-8-8-24 v1.65 and the Core i7 920 D0.

Now, time to sleeve, hopefully the part I'm waiting for @ Jab-Tech will be there soon, my order from EK will be shipped out Friday, more info on that soon.

Cheers!

I am now salivating and it's only 9:30. thanks a lot dingdong...

Bought the same mobo for my new build. I'm thinking about grabbing that full-cover EK block. :D

Keep the pics coming!~

:shocked:

That sleeving is amazing.

sub'd to the max

.....and yet another update.

My order from Jab-Tech will be finalized by Monday, so I should get it by Friday, if not, it'll be in customs sitting there.

My EK order has been shipped on Thursday, that should come in 7ish days. My order with an 8pin extension and some other nic nacs are on there way (YAY more sleeving)

So I decided to do some sleeving on Wednesday arvo, I was going to do a few cables from the 24pin then do the rest on the weekend....well, I kinda got carried away (as usual) and did it all in one hit. One thing sleeving has taught me is that if you're impatient, you'll stuff it up, then you'll get so frustrated the PSU flies out the window (I didn't get to that stage luckily!)

Please excuse the pictures, they were done inside as it's pouring down with rain. Also, excuse the heatshrink imperfection as I couldn't get it even!

8pin Power (GOD DAYM THE GREEN IS AMAZING)

http://i27.tinypic.com/21ct2e.jpg

Dual 6pin PCI-e cables

http://i31.tinypic.com/xdtco6.jpg

And the huge Python - 24pin Connector.

http://i28.tinypic.com/am8cyc.jpg

This week, well, hopefully most of my packages will arrive so I can actually start the build!

Cheers =)

That looks good, ding. I like the green/black color scheme. MintChocoChip is going to be disappointed. :lol:

That sleve looks amazing! I really like the mixed colors

Great dingdong :) Loving the hulk so far.

You go, dingdong!!! Nice pics, and I love the green accents.

Looks great dingdong! I would have never picked that color green until I saw it against the black, amazing contrast. Looking forward to more pics!

One question for you, why did you choose to go with 6 1GB sticks of ram? Honestly I didn't even think they still sold 1GB sticks anymore.

Well, I wasn't going to but I got a good deal on them second hand, so I had to take it =) I don't really want 12gb anytime soon either.

Thanks for the comment :)The green is amazing against the black...

Never pass up a good deal! :D I actually have 12GB of Dominator but I'm not sure how that will affect my overclock so I might put up 6GB for sale is it doesn't work out. So far I've seen some people have good luck clocking 12GB and others not so much. :shrug:

Loving the green! And the red, orange, yellow sleeving look absolutely brilliant. Kinda made me hungry for some fruit loops (A good thing). :)

Beautiful green sleeve, gotta love it.

Hi dingdong have been following your work log from the start and I really like what I have seen so far.:clap:
I too live in Perth also, however I hit a brick wall when it came to finding local suppliers for water-cooling hardware.:confused:

Have you had any experience buying from Gam mods or Pc case gear?

I was lucky enough to be given some info on where to buy water-cooling hardware from, surprisingly, from a guy who was working in a northern suburbs computer retail outlet, he was very helpful.

I intend to build a water cooled TJ07 as well, with blue and yellow sleeving from MDPC.
If you don't mind me asking, could you please let me know the cost of postage for your order from Jab-tech, was it based on weight or size of the order?

I really hope you don't mind me asking about the cost (some people are touchy about that) and I under stand if your not willing answering that.

Keep up the excellent work mate!:up:

kgtiger I advise you to just work out what you will need from Jab-tech and then email them about how much shipping to Australia will cost. I did that when I was looking for my stuff.

GAM Mods is a great store and I think GAM is on these forums (if he isn't, then check the OCAU ones because he is on there) and will always answer your questions. He has a great range of fittings and it just keeps on growing. PCCG has really improved in their watercooling range recently, with now having XSPC radiators, EK-Multioption reservoirs and Heatkiller Waterblocks, so they are also a good store if you want to save on shipping.

Loving this mod BTW dingdong, I should be getting my stuff soon after seeing your last mod convinced me to do it :D Good luck with this one, and i'm sure it will look awesome!

Hey there.

Gammods are great, they have the biggest range in Australia, PCCG are OK but their shipping kills everything. Greig from gammods is also a really nice bloke to deal with and you'll be supporting a home run business

My order from Jab-tech was relatively small, I was charged $75 for express (#-5days with tracking) but then refunded $20 and it was cheaper. Create an account, log in, then add some ideas to your account and the shipping will update for international :up:

Usually, I order whatever I can from Gammods then get those "Hard-to-find" items from the US.

Thanks Mad! :up:

Hopefully having 6 dimms isn't gonna screw with your overclocks much! :)

Thanks MadMonkOfFunk for all you’re in-put, much appreciated and welcome to the forum.:welcome:

Thanks dingdong also for your thoughts, it's been nice to read positive comments about Gam. I have been looking through the site to try and find as much as I can, so I can buy as much as possible in OZ. I think your comments have sealed the deal.

Looking forward to an update.

GAM is really great, and you'll get a helpful reply from him if you need anything sorted out.

Bring on the next update Dingdong! :D

Wow, that Hulk sleeve is so nice! Want more pictures!! :banana: :banana: :banana:

Very VERY soon, order from USA has been shipped (Express, 3-5days)

EK order is on it's way (Sometime next week it'll arrive)

Once they're here, it'll be updates galore!

Nice work, waiting for moar :)

I need to see this!

Hehe, thanks guys.

Tiny update, decided to sell my fan controller and go for something different with more ports. This baby can handle all of my 5 high speed yate loons on ONE port/channel. It'll also house my LED strips which will be here soon.

My order from Jab-Tech is only a few days away, so keep an eye out for that ;) My EK order should be a few days away and my Typhoon III is a few days away! God daym I hate waiting.

The AWESOME new dye (Available soon in retail) Mayhem dye! Such a pretty green.

http://i25.tinypic.com/n9taa.jpg

And my Bitspower X Station.

http://i26.tinypic.com/121ww1z.jpg

that dye come in red ?

Sure does.

Read through the whole thread as there is red in there somewhere - http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=230290

Your item cleared customs in AUSTRALIA at 9:26 AM on September 20, 2009

Looks like tomorrow I'll be getting it! Expect updates shortly ;)

UPDATE!

Both my Jab-tech and EK order got here, now all is needed is my reservoir which should be here tomorrow or Friday hopefully. School holidays starts on Saturday so I should be able to work on this all day, which is good for me and for you :)

Anyway, bad news is my camera battery died so I couldn't take any pictures, after a quick 20mintues charge I could take a few ;)

Let me tell you how beautiful the EK blocks are, Nickel is really something special!! HUGE thanks goes to Eddy from EK.

I'd also like to thank John from Jabtech for looking after me like he ALWAYS does.

Nice pictures dingdong!

I just got some stuff from Eddy (Supreme LT and an EVGA X58 Classified Full-Board) a week or so ago and I agree: the nickel plating from EK is top-notch quality :up:.

Can't wait for more updates :)

nice!

Any ideas of maybe removing the red X58 Sli logo for the NB block. Thinking the red throws off from your green and black theme....

Thanks, and yes, I sure will be doing something to it.

wow i hope when my build is finished it looks like the ones ya'll on here build for real!!

haha, thanks mate!

Just a small tip for some of you guys out there using smaller tubing on a bigger barb.

Everyone knows to put the end of the tube in hot water so it goes on easier but it's still hard to put the tube on, so, *In no way is this intended to be "dirty"* lick your fingers and rub your Saliva on the barb, not too much though, the tubing will then slide on as easy as pie.

Also, my pump top should be here from Gammods on Wed/Thurs which means it'll basically be finished ;)

Tiny update before my pump top gets here (Wednesday if GAM is open tomorrow to process my order)

1. Get Bracket - CHECK

http://i36.tinypic.com/2mh7ewj.jpg

2. Bend Bracket - CHECK

http://i35.tinypic.com/2q19jm8.jpg

3. Mark holes - CHECK

http://i35.tinypic.com/i5b41h.jpg

4. Drill holes with at least one eye open ;) - CHECK

http://i35.tinypic.com/1571vg5.jpg

You'll see where it goes soon.

Anyway, you're not going to like this.

I ordered the D5 EK top from Greig (Gammods.com) but it was actually OOS as he thought he had 1 but it turned out he didn't. I wasn't fussed because he was nice enough about it and I could get it from PCCG.

So, I ordered from PCcasegear.com and paid with a CC, I then emailed them about high shipping costs etc.... they basically said do I want to order more items so shipping is reasonable or get this one processed, so I said process it ASAP. 24hours + after my order had been paid for, it was still on "processing" so I basically emailed nicely saying why it hadn't been shipped. The reply I got -

Quote:

Hello James,

Unfortunately, we have sold out of the EK-D5 X-TOP - Acetal G1/4 Rev.2 with
no ETA for the next delivery. As an alternative, we would reccomend taking a
look at either the Thermaltake P500 or the EK-DCP 2.2 (12V DC Pump).

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused, and ff the delay is
unacceptable please let us know and we can change or remove this item for
you. Otherwise your order will be dispatched immediately upon arrival of
stock.

Best regards,
PCCG Sales.

---

So I told em to shove it and gave them some mouth. Greig will be getting more tops in on the 7/10, going to have to see if I can get it expressed from the US (Cost permits) or if I can get a second hand one.

This puts my build back atleast another week, most likely 2+, I know it sucks, my head is about to explode. Lets hope Eddy from EK has one ;)

Sorry to hear about the stuff up with your order dingdong555, it sucks having a limited amount of retail out lets to buy from here in OZ.

About your "Bitspower X Station" is that just a central power out-let hub?
There is no control over the fan speed is there?

By the way what radiator are you using?

If by chance you are going to put a 120x2 and a 120x3 or 4 in the bottom with 25mm fans on both radiators.
Could you please let me know how much room there is between them both?

I am trying to work out what fittings I can use.

Photos of this would help when you’re up to this point

Thanks for your time and effort I do appreciate it.

Looking forwards to your next update mate!

Hey there.

The Bitspower XStation is very handy because it's basically a power hub BUT it DOES let you control fan speed as it has 4x 12v connectors/4x 5v connectors/4x 7v connectors and some Molex connectors on.

Also, yes, I'm using a TFC360 + XSPC RX240 down the bottom with 25mm fans, by memory there is ~8cm gap between them, just enough for some cables and tubing ;)

Thanks for that info mate, much appreciated.
You can get back to work now:ROTF:

Hey James, sorry to hear about the set back Mate but all in all it looks like your making great progress. :)

Patience is a virtue eh my friend - I hope it gets sorted and you can keep the project moving forward. Perhaps this is an opportunity to go over the whole build in your mind and make sure everything is as it should be.

I often find that a little downtime is a good thing as it allows you to zoom out and look at the big picture.

Anyway Mate, you're doing a fantastic job and I look forward to following your progress!

Thanks Charles! Since the downtime I have actually decided not to use the holes I recently drilled, as you said, its actually been a good thing :) My final stuff should be here Tuesday so then I can FINALLY get this thing goin'

Reserved

New page? THis has too many pictures on.

UPDATE!!!

The project has FINALLY come to an end, it's been a long ride when it shouldn't have as many parts were out of stock and I had to play the waiting game....so boring. Anyway, time to enjoy the beast now.....well, not quite since my G.Skill 128gb SSD died, time to play the "game" again and send it back! A Temp hard drive will do for the time being though.

I'd just like to thank everyone for their kind and constructive comments, it really makes building computers a ball since you get to read other people's thoughts.

The final pictures really didn't work as well as I planned, the green tubes came out with too much white in, if anyone knows how to fix this (In Photoshop maybe?) please let me know, I don't think my cheap digital camera coped too well.

Also, finally, I'd just like to thank my sponsors again, they've been awesome!

Now... what you've been waiting for. Sorry if there are TOOOO many!! :)

The final pictures really didn't work as well as I planned, the green tubes came out with too much white in (They're green in RL like the sleeving), if anyone knows how to fix this (In Photoshop maybe?) please let me know, I don't think my cheap digital camera coped too well.

Nice job on coming up with an original color scheme. The wiring looks good as you've offset the green with the black nicely. I also like how you have your tubing routed as it forms some nice curves/shapes. The only thing I don't like is that very tight bend that you have going from the pump to your res as it looks like the tubing is kinking a little, and the pump sits a little crooked because of it. But a great job, overall. Very neat.

Thankyou!

Yeah, the tubing is a tiny bit kinked but I couldn't get it any straighter, the pump is a little offset as it is hitter the rubber grommet behind it but I can't move the pump forward because of the tubing.

Looks great dingdong :)

Question > Why not have the tubing go in the GPU first, then to the CPU. Seems like a long tube. (Just me being critical, don't take it to heart)

Yeh I don't particularly like the tube routing. Especially when the water temp will be almost the same regardless and a shorter loop will have more benefit anyway!

awesome build dingdong. ive now added you to the list of people i hate, if you werent already on there.


but i dont actually hate you lol. like i said before, all you damn guys in this worklog section are really making me want to do a WC build.

Haha, well, IMO it looked better than just GPU > CPU. :)

Looks great James! Nice sleeving job to boot.

i just love the colours your using in your build.. i LOVE green and black

Did i mention i love something? xD
What kind of tubing are you using there? i've bought primochill tubing myself, and it looks veery "green'ish", and has a very strong green colour to it.
Again: Love your rig! it turned out awesome ;-)

Nice job on THE HULK, James.

I played around with a couple of your pics in LightRoom. Green is really difficult to get right. Adjusted Luminance and Saturation and this is what I came up with:

LOL ... just trying to show James that he can adjust the color in the green tubing by playing around with a few settings in Lightroom or Photoshop. A bit difficult to work with compressed jpegs. Also, you can see from his originals that the color of the green tubing is definitely affected by how the light is hitting it. Very difficult to get green tubing to show up as in real life (and consistent from photo to photo) particularly with internal case lighting. Hopefully the more experienced photographers here can give him some hints. I too think he did a stellar job :up:

Awesome work! =)
Love minimalistic look and the black and green color!

Aha, I see. I thought you tried to improve the image (colors). :D

I Have the PrimoChill tubing and in Real Life it looks MUCH greener, it's the way the pictures were taken it looks whitish.

Thanks Shazza! There was no direct light other than the Lamptron LED's in the case, the tubing right not looks fine it's just that it mucks up when the camera takes a shot, no idea why, may be something with white balance etc...? Thanks for the tip too! I'll look into that.

F**K, I just heard almost like a spark sound and the computer turned off, now, there is no power to the motherboard as the lights don't turn on. It seems to be that the PSU has F#&KING died, it better not have taken the components with it! There goes $200 worth of sleeving and hours of work....I'm off to work so I can test it until later but it looks like the hulk has died :(

Ouch, Ouch, Ouch. I feel for you.

GL finding the problem.

:eek: :shakes:

That sucks, I know the feeling after having my fun with that striker II Formula :(

Join the FML club please James

*hug*

It is horrible here... I still haven't got Pegasus going since the Scythe problem :(

Good luck finding what went wrong hun.

jeez, it's sad to hear about this especially when the product is new and you just finished sleeving it.

Contact Silverstone for RMA replacement, maybe they will do it without asking for the modular cables lol

:(

And I just got the notification that this was done!

So sorry to read that dingdong....

I've lit a candle for you, dingdong. I have a feeling Hulk will soon be back and stronger than ever. :)

Sorry to hear it dingdong... :(

been following you log silently and your build is beautiful hopefully you can get it up soon and not go crazy resleeving a new PSU if that is the problem.

Thanks guys.

Sadly I can't test if its killed my other things yet as I don't have a PSU powerful enough.

I may end up selling the case and getting a Corsair to save some funds, what do you think?

That PSU is full modular no ? Can't you just send it back without the sleeving job ? Or try to find a new one (i know you had trouble getting this one) and RMA the bad one with the new cable then re-sell once fixed :) (hoping you did not mess up something in the wiring while sleeving)
