Turtletraxs' "Go Broke" TJ-07 Dual Loop

[Dangals]

Any idea what the price range on murderboxes are??

I believe we should be finding out very soon as Charles mentioned the site was almost done....this waiting is killing me as I want to get some murdermod parts for my build!

Any idea what the price range on murderboxes are??

They start at about $5800 and can go up to past $8000. I fooled around with the configurator for a couple minutes and thats what I found anyways.

[MomijiTMO]

Say what?


EDIT :
Holy ake mushrooms I thought you meant the case.

[Detale]

I just checked again and prices are up today. For what I would say is a very good system ist about 5500 CAD I don't know the exchange rate for US dollars but DAMN!! I do have to say that the systems look incredible and I wish him the best of luck.

On topic: Any progress TT??

EDIT: Sorry I didn't see your post TT

OK, so my EK Back came in yesterday and my RAM and fans should be in tomorrow. Looks like the fans for sure as I got a door knocker for pickup tomorrow. Which is good news because I thought they were lost at this point.

Will most likely loop up tomorrow night and Sunday and get it running and take a break on this mod. Most likely will just pick up the sleeving and get the window cut and then resume with the insanity after Christmas. I just have too much to pay for with moving and all.

But I will finnish it the way I want for sure.

On to some pics of the ram block...
















In the last pic you can notice the proximity to the RAM slots. Might be hard to remove the stick closest to the CPU and a Corsair RAM fan is a no-go.

LMK what you guys think

You know if you add the costs of the GTX280 + EK Full Cover + EK Ram WB = I don't want to know.

Awesome build dude and I love everything.

[BlueAqua]

Looks real nice mate. What barbs are those on the Ek block?

Also Gabe is said that the new Swiftech chipset block it due to be released sometime next week if you're still interested.

This stuff can sure get expensive fast, and it's better to space that out over more time. Take your time and keep the mrs. happy.

[MomijiTMO]

They look like the normal [silver] 1/2" Bitspower fittings to me. Maybe Danger Den's versions? OMG I want your fc blocks. It's a fc sandwich with a nice GTX280 steak with loads of TIM sauce

Thanks M8, I appreciate all the great comments

Those are the BP Fatboys. I got them with my EK FC block from Petra. He was out of EK barbs.

I look forward to the Swifty NB block. Will most likely pic it up.

LOL, that is halarious M8. You crack me up too

Hope to have some figures to see if it was worth it !

Wow turtletrax...how much does that weigh with all that copper on it?

[Detale]

I was just going to ask about the weight on your card, when I did mine I only had 1 side with a block and the 8800GT looked like it would snap if I sneezed. Is it holding up OK if not what do you plan to do? I made up a "hanger" bracket with a piece of aluminum looks great and works great too.

Damn you are spending alot on the build and let me just say it shows! Everything looks awesome.

BTW I don't know if you have any BP rotary 90's or 45's but they have been recalled due to lots of them leaking. I have to wait 2-4 weeks for replacements now so my build is on hold too, sux

Seriously?

I have 4 of them sitting here waiting to go into my re-build!

[MomijiTMO]

You send an email to Bitspower. No idea what is happening as I haven't heard a thing back. Not that I really care because I cannot pull mine off without being a retard.

[turtletrax]

Well over a kilo. Not sure on the eact weight, I will get back on that.

She's a huge b!tch!

I was thinking of doing the same thing. I wanted it to be invisible so I was thinking of trying light weight fishing wire. I will try it and see if it works, if not I will go to a beefier idea.

Thanks m8

Ouch. I will be looping up tonite tomorrow, so I pray to god that they dont leak.

Seriously?

I pray for you too man, I will be pissed if mine leak...

[Detale]

FISHING WIRE!!! DAmn why didn't I think of that great idea man I think Im gonna change mine now, LOL Thanks. I think monofilament will react to UV also I have to check


All the info I have is from PPCs in a reply to my email asking why they were out of stock and when would they be available again. They replied

Performance-PCs.com Sales
to me

Yes a small percent leaked. We have no firm ETA and so cant do backorder, sorry. You can contact Bitspower if you want yours replaced. They will resend you without having to send back.

I still havent gotten a reply from BP but it is Sunday so I know itll be a few days yet. I will keep you posted

How long ago did you send them an E-mail?? i sent mine 2 days ago but it was late on a Fri so I figure no one will answer till at least Mon

[evian_26]

how about going horizontal or making a custom card support, like the one in lian li cases, over a kilo makes me worried

[turtletrax]

Finally received my fans. I will have pics tonite.


Thanks Utnorris The are amazing!

[MomijiTMO]

I think I sent mine on Tuesday?

Fishing wire. . . .. that's just awesome.

[turtletrax]

Well the EK FC block and Ram black weighs in at 1050 grams (dry lol). I think that has to be a record


Here are some pics of the San Ace fans.













Man is it gonna be a tight fit in the basement of this poor TJ
