I will finish it. Just not likely until spring. There still is a lot of work that needs to get done. Actually it is all the hard stuff. I am not even close to being happy w/ the cable management. Then I have to get the shrouds for the PSU, below the motherboard, behind the motherboard, and 5.25" bay sides designed and fabricated. Then I have to get the side and top windows cut in the case. Then lastly powdercoated.Originally Posted by aussie-revhead

How much is left to do?
Pulled it out of the closet last night. Decided to ditch my bench and move my X79 rig in to this.
Going to be using the top radiator after all. Going way overkill on the rads this time. The 3x140mm up front, the 2x140mm up top, and a 4x140mm that hangs behind my desk.
Did a quick move job on the 24-pin.
Going to need some repairs and definitely going to need lengths adjusted. Have to wait for reservoir though. Which is coming from China so that will be like a month. :p
Backside. Can't reeally work on cleaning up the cables until I get the reservoir, board, and PSU in here.
Hopefully I can find some nice black countersunk m4 screws as this looks kinda goofy.
Thinking about throwing this 3 drive cage down here to fill up some of the space. Even though I haven't used SATA in my main machine for a long while. Also depends on where I am going to put the pump. Haven't figured that out yet.
Hopefully I can recycle some of these. The GPU cables are meant to be used w/ the double stack GTX680 power connector. Their lengths will pretty much only fit them. But who knows what the GTX780s will have. :p
Cleaned off all the stickers from the power supply.
Definitely looks better naked. Having the PSU facing up makes cable management significantly easier for this build.
Sleeved the rear fan.
Straightened out the 24-pin a bit. Quite a bit of slack that needs to be taken care off.
Spent all day working on the 24-pin. Cleaned it up significantly, only a few more wires need to get done. Hopefully work will be dead again tomorrow so I can finish.
one word comes to mind inspiring,
cable sleeving looks awesome not
to mention the whole rig, great work m8
and very nice pics
Not exactly for this build but I sleeved the fans for my server today. Will likely just continue posting pics for it in this thread.
Got the new CPU block in today. Looks 11ty times better in person than the stock photos EK released for it. The frosted actually looks pretty good.
BUT it doesn't match my setup. So......
Got some replacement keycaps for a Steelseries 7G that I had sitting in the closet for the past 2 years. I ended up warping the original keycaps when I tried to wash them. Water was too hot :whistle:. Unfortunately the 7G uses some non-standard keys so I had to use three of the stock ones :angry2:.
Threw the X79 in the Lian Li last night. Aircooled FTL. Those cable clamps will be staying until after I get the case complete. They really help w/ getting cable lengths correct.
Purolator lady was very generous to me this morning.
64GB of ECC.The plan is to do a 50GB ram drive over a network.
2 NIC + IPMI
ZOMG.
I really like those cable clamps. What kind are they? I would love to use something like that on my current build.
Of all the things I've lost in life, I miss my mind the most.

Better to flip those fans to blow out. I know you may think sucking cool air into the case is better, but youre fighting thermal physics here.Going to be using the top radiator after all.

PPCS sells them. I honestly can't remember who makes them. Akasa maybe? Buy more than you need as they break easy. Especially the 4-wire ones.
Hmm. The 'local' store shows stock. Will have to check them out.

I worked on my server bench over the last few days when I could. First I drilled some holes to mount some Lian Li drive cages.
I spray bombed the bench and drive cages w/ some cheap paint I had laying around from work. The arcylic was in awful shape so even cheap paint looks better. Pretty much have the whole loop plumbed although the radiator isn't shown in these pics.
My fill port.
Where the pump and reservoir are mounted. Using a DDC-1T for this as I really don't need a high powered pump.
Word to the wise, don't use an abrasive cleaner on acrylic. Not sure what I was thinking. Thankfully it doesn't look that bad with coolant in it. I may order a new one.
The power button. I've had this bench for 3 years and it will be the first time I've had one. I've always used a screw driver to power on the boards.
At first was just going to do 9 drives + SSD. But I have this cage so I think I'll add it. 14 drives should be enough for a while.
O and the Infiniband cables that will be connecting these two machines. 40Gbps.

Ended up having to go w/ a different board and CPU due to incompatibilities.
Was thinking about doing this color scheme but ended up sticking w/ the shade 19 + black
The G34 board and 6128 came in.
And just a few more pics of the CPU block and the reservoir that I cleaned up for the Lian Li.
loving the pics
How the bench sits currently.
Pic of the reservoir after I frosted it up a bit. Doesn't look near as good as the Koolance one I posted earlier.
Will have to clean up a few wires here.
A few more pics of the CPU block.I stole some of the black hardware from the Supreme HF. Hopefully I'll still be able to mount it on the board w/ the non-stock hardware. Then a pic to compare the old vs the new.
I think I just died and went to heaven !!
Nice work man !!
Just beautiful !!!
I got lost somewhere here, two machines? Both in the same build?Infiniband cables that will be connecting these two machines. 40Gbps

Yes. The project split in to actually three machines due to incompatibility or other reasons. The 'Big Lian Li' is now a 3930k + X79 gaming rig. The Technofront bench is my home server and the 2P Z9DE-P8 will be its own dedicated folding@home machine.Just beautiful !!!
I got lost somewhere here, two machines? Both in the same build?
A few pics of the coolant I have mixed up. The shade is almost exactly the same as the grand bleu sleeving.
And a few more pics of the bench WIP
Before:
After:
Kind of getting late to take great pics so I'll just post a few.
And the reservoir mounted to the rad.
Bunch of pics
Got the other card polished and blocks mounted so a bunch of pics.
Started to throw the loop together over the weekend.
Wanted to do 140mm fans up front but as you can see I can't reach the fan connectors afterward so I'll be sticking w/ the GTs.
Replaced the Magicool + GTs up top w/ an HWLabs SR1 280 + medium speed Yates. Nothing beats an SR1 for aesthetics.
The pump mounted.
A few shots of the 24-pin. Excuse the dust.
and a few randoms
A few more WIP pics.
What do you use all this equipment for lowfat? Is this home stuff or work stuff? Was really surprised to see some 40gb cables..
BTW your cabling ising beautiful and pretty much made me decide to redo mine. And you can find any screw you need at fastenal. I love that place.
