[PROJECT] Homewrecker V2

[Giannis86]

that ddc looks very happy with that fan combo

[smee]

Dude this is looking friggin SICK!!!!!!!

Keep up the good work mate!!

And BTW, I think I like the delrin top on the EK better now.

ok update time!

ive decided to go with dual DDCs for the CPU loop and
a D5-V for the GPU loop. so i think i know where im
putting the pumps, only one will be visible, the secound
ddc will be next to the rad, i wish i could display them
both in a nice manner but there isnt enough room and
the way i would have to tube the two tops are not to
my liking, so this is the only way, which is fine to me.
hopefully the ek top for the D5 will make its way to the
US soon, so i can get one of those for this build would
be awesome if it came in an acrylic too, so it would
match. but thats asking for alot. sorry for the grainy pics
shooting at high iso, i didnt use a tri pod. most all things
are up in the air, and i need to make sure that the pump
will actually clear the side panel, and a few other things.
but this project is definitely moving

[skinnee]

what do the back side of the Res mounts look like?

[evil-98]

back side? like hows its mounted?

[skinnee]

yeah, how does it mount...one screw with a nut, 2 screws...sorry for being vaque on my question.

[evil-98]

theres only a single mount point, and its just a bolt with a few washers and a nut.

same as the clear ones then...thanks mang!

dunno if this is in the thread already, but what size LEDs did you use (and what would you use 3mm vs. 5mm for?)

[evil-98]

in this build all leds will be 5mm, reason for that is generally because all i had were 5mm
to be honest i would of used 3mm, for the face that there smaller and would be more
discreet, but there is generally no difference between a 5mm led and a 3mm

leds come in a whole array of sizes, shapes, styles, it all depends on the application you
want to use it for.

im working on a LED guide, its been in the making for about a week, and hopefully
ill have something by next week

edit:

anyone see the new mdpc comp? makes me sad..
i didnt think i was the first to think of the idea but
it looks like he'll be the first to be known to do it

[orclev]

On the topic of LEDs, I'm looking to acquire some for a build I'm working on. Specifically I'm looking for bright blue ones that are square (well, rectangular but they usually refer to them as square), and suitable for running off a 12v rail. I've seen it commented elsewhere that ebay is the best bet, but honestly I rather get them from someplace a little more professional. Any advice on the best place to pickup some LEDs? I swung by radioshack the other day, even though they rip you off for everything, but they had almost nothing in terms of LED selection (or just about any electronics actually). Seems that more and more radioshack specializes in cheap electronic toys and cellphones with the odd adapter thrown in.

If you do put that LED guide together, in addition to mentioning locations to pick up LEDs, a section on the proper way to wire them up and perhaps a link to a resistor color code chart would probably be a good idea.

[evil-98]

all things you suggested are already in the guide,
the guide is generally swayed for pc applications.

reason ebay is a good play to start is because there
are many overseas sellers that sell in bulk which
has a great volume saving. so theres a higher value
buy in quantity. now you dont have to always buy
from ebay to get a good deal, i had purchased my
LEDS previously from jab-tech.com and PPCS, but
when i do buy in bulk its easy to find a manufacture
that will allow mixed buys with of course a minimum
(either $ or quantity)

just do a google search for some suppliers

ill find some more reputable suppliers soon

[skinnee]

anyone see the new mdpc comp?

link?

looking forward to the LED guide, would rather do LEDs vs CCFL's for case light!

Woah nice! Yours is looking good too evil

[emoners]

WHOA that looks AWESOME evil!

[MomijiTMO]

Your rig looks great. The latest MDPC rig just beat you to it.

You should have put a patent on it mate

[Pellepel]

holy moley! your rig still kicks ass though

[disruptfam]

that does looks good although i dont like the dye colours

[disruptfam]

evil update me

[septim]

update US...

[evil-98]

yes, the lack of updates... sorry but there really hasnt been any.
ive been busy with work, and putting time in my SFF build. most
importantly i need a fabricator, i need to get panels cut, hopefully
for a decent price. im scraping right now, hopefully i can find some
help. all im waiting for is to fab up the panels, then its just final
assembly and paint.

stay tuned guys ill have something for you guys soon

Switch your windows acrylic to polycarbonate

Just reading your build, very nice work! I do acrylic fabrication and normal cell cast and extruded acrylic block all UVA, UVB and most UVC. That is how it is UV stabilized so it doesn't yellow and crack if left in the sun. So there is no need to swap out your acrylic for polycarbonate. Just an FYI in case anyone was wondering.

[Teqqles]

Is that a custom mount for the DDC, I've not seen that before?

nm, found it - (UN)Designs Pump bracket, I think I shall be getting me one of those for project chrome, though with Dan moving I am not looking forward to seeing the state of my side panel at the end of the month lol.

Awesome project btw, a real inspiration

Huh?

Can I buy this "acrylic fabrication and normal cell cast and extruded acrylic" somewhere?
