Looking forward to updates. I like that SSD mount.

[Liderc]

Love the blocks, very sleek looking.

those are some great shots, what camera are you using?

[Darth_Penguin]

thanks, its a nikon D60 with kit 18-55 lens. im still a dslr nub but I have been practicing.

I'll have some new shots up tonight

[Stvwndr219]

do you have a build log of the assembly of the acrylic stuff you have right now? that looks really interesting!

[BNDMOD]

Suscribed!!!

[ILikeCosmosS]

I didnt get the acrylic stuff in yet, this is actually going to be the build log as I go through the process of water cooling my rig.

Can't wait to see how your acrylic radiator brackets turn out....

Also great job on nickel plating the HK 3.0

[Darth_Penguin]

So I finished painting my DVD drive and my Mosfet heat sinks. I dont want to water cool the mosfets because I think it tends to look cluttered when you start having that many blocks, but having the heat sinks copper wasnt going to go with my nickel theme. So, I decided why not black.







For those interested in the HD mount. I made these on my lathe out of 1/4" Aluminum rod.

[Darth_Penguin]

Radiator bracket is in, taking pics now!

[pingpong1455]

sub'd this is going to be good

[Darth_Penguin]

I was originally making the bracket out of 3/8" clear acrylic but based on the opinion of the laser shop, they recommended that it might be more cost effective if had two 3/16" brackets cut and sandwiched together.

Keep in mind the protective film is still on so that I dont scratch them before they are mounted permanently.










The smaller square cutouts match the cutouts on the original bracket and the larger square cutouts will accommodate the cables going to the mobo







The height appears to be perfect. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get the 2nd rad to sit lower then the video card but as you can see the card is still the highest point (which is what I wanted)



Here is a quick shot of the cable routing. Plenty of room to fit everything




Everything else will be here at the end of the week so more pictures to follow.

those dual rads are going to look sick. nice job with the bracket.

one question: how will you connect your graphics card? there doesnt seem to be any room between the card and the bracket.

Thanks!

Do you mean the DVI cable? There is actually plenty of room between the back of the mobo and the bracket. if you look at the last pic the DVI cable is actually partially visible.

[barretp]

Oh my bad, I totally missed the last two photos

[skinnee]

Lets see some picks of the rads mounted plz!

Excellent work DP, I really like the radiator bracket/mount.

[genERIC]

Wow, this looks really good. I like you idea for the sdd mounts!

[Liderc]

I'm loving these bench tables, look very cool when done neatly.

It will look really clean once all the water stuff is on there and once Nils gets some MDPC back in stock.

Thanks, I am thinking about making them out of Delrin next for a little bit of stealth.

[ILikeCosmosS]
