Your inspireing my to try and build my case from the ground up .. that Alfer kit is perfect for what I want to do its all the cutout in the acrylic panels that are bothering me LOL.

6 Quad rads 1 case Maybe I went a little overboard....Overkill Cube
Hello every one and sorry for my english.
I am doing some modifications on my buid.
I want to resize down the case, I had lot of unused space.
Before : L: 62, W : 32, H:68
After : L:58, W:32, H57
The recuted frame is done, i will post photos later this week.
what do u use to cut your sheet metal?
i had some some problems using a jig saw to get perfectly straignt cuts.

I use also a jigsaw.
I cut an extra milimeter and i use a file to finish the border.
Aluminium is a soft metal easy to file.
How I wish you were local, Id love one of these
I don't have my camera.
Pictures of the sketchup model :
Are those 2-stacked fans or one from those is shroud? If first case, i suggest putting one below rad for standart push-pull setup.
as far as i know a shroud doesn't make much difference in pull configuration

The second fan simulates a shroud.Originally Posted by churchy
Looks interesting but I would move the power supply away from bellow acrylic expansion. It may crack one day.
I agree with you, i will put a piece of metal (in green) under the res to protect the power supply :
The side rad will be mounted on hinge :
My rad inbuilt shroud is very thin, the extra shroud helps to use the rad area under the fan motor.
If you plan to run those 2-stacked fans, try to find fans who are turning to the other side (right turn), so you are one turning left and another right. Thats is way to have better effect on 2-stacked fans.
Nice build indeed
I don't want to use stacked fans, i have removed the motor and the blades to use them as shrouds :If you plan to run those 2-stacked fans, try to find fans who are turning to the other side (right turn), so you are one turning left and another right.

Hello every one (sorry for my english), i took new photos of my build.
I have rebuild the case from the new sketch.
Sorry for the ugly paint and cable managment, i do not have the time to make a proper build (i just bought a house)
and i reuse parts of the previous cases.
I will make everything right later this year
Hello!
It's a pity that you start the projects with such detailed work (frame of your latest project looked great) but then you just leave things unfinished!
Imho take all the time you need to get the job "done" (cable management, painting, ligthing etc etc..)
Post your system specs and temps so we can check how it's the thing working
Asus P5Q DeluxePost your system specs and temps so we can check how it's the thing working
E8600 4400Mhz 1.296v
8800 Gts 640 Mo
4 Hdd Raid 0 / Raid 10 in a Waterblock
1 other Hdd
cpu loop
Hk 3.0
2 x rads 360
1 laing 355
gpu + mb loop
gpu : ek block
mb : ek nb and mofset block
1 x 360 rad
4 hdd block
1 laing 355
CPU temp with 3 hours of prime : 53°C, ambient : 21°C . 3 fans are 1000 rpm fans, and only 2 of the scythe Gt are working.
A picture of the airflow in the case.
The ideas are :
- to have a very simple and straightforward air flow.
- the radiators participate directly to airflow to minimize the fans.
- the radiators take their air directly from the exterior
PS : sorry for my english
Conception progress :
An alternative for the top shape but difficult to make :
Those "double-fans" probably is one row of fans+shrouds? Imho you'd get better results from two row of fans in push-pull.
Yes this is a shroud under the fans.
You are right but i don't need anymore airflow (2x360 for the cpu), the shroud optimize airflow and reduce the fans noise.
Less fans also means less cable management, less power consumption, and less fans to manage with a fan controller.
Size comparison with the TJ 07 :
I continue to work on the sketchup until i am satisfied
3 radiators are too much for my needs.
The main things to finish before building it for real :
A pretty front panel.
Pumps positionning
Cable managment
Tubing routing
PS : Sorry for my english
Inverted ATX to have better air flow on the motherboard (in the other way, the graphic card block the airflow coming from the bottom).
I think that the best solution for airflow is something like Silverstone Raven cases. With 90° mobo, all expansions cards are constantly in touch with fresh air coming from bottom to the top (like hot air goes up naturally) ...
btw great project
Yes, i agree but i don't want to loose the place at the top of the case and in this configuration i can't put large fans in the top.
