aint that the truth, unfortunately I cant afford x58 unless someone would buy my q9650 for 500 Bones

Great work Snipe! But I am kind of disappointed... The reason is that I am building a new rig for about 3 months now, and today when I came up to your worklog on coincidence, it looked like im totaly copying you... so i am kind of in a bad mood now. Thats why i have decided that i am not going to write the worklog up to XS forums...
Nevertheless, I wish you luck at your project, because its comming up very nice!

glad you like it man, dont hold back on posting your rig just because its similar! I have been working at this for quite some time as well and as I went along amny others popped up with white themed rigs. but it doesnt mean they are copying me or I am copying them Every builder here on XS takes ques from others, where do you think we all started individually wiring our atx connectors from? who had the original Idea to cut holes in the mobo tray? its all a cumulative effort by us all. When one person makes a groundbreaking build you can be sure that there are about 15 people he could go through and say "thankyou for making this build as great as it is"

its all about camaraderie and I hope you will post your log up here

I cant wait to see the end result. Nice work so far. Make sure that you post tons of pics.

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

I got so caught up in playing with my new motherboard on the test bench that I completely forgot about the build not really but I haven't done all that much work


here are the pics

The arced edge is supposed to be there, I didn't make it quite symmetrical but you cant see that edge with the mobo installed


for PCI-E power, you will see when this gets assembled


In the case, turned out very nicely IMO

rad shroud staying black?

rad shroud staying black?

At this point the decision was that it will stay black but every time I look over at the case I think "shouldn't that be white?" so we will see, maybe I will end up painting it afterall....

Yeah, i was gonna say it could go either way

Rad SANDWICH incoming

The 45 fittign ended up not fitting with the rads together between the fan. this is ok though because now I have a 25mm shroud before the push side which should increase performance

Once the MCR-320-S's come out then we will have the easy ability to run 2 rads on just 38mm thickness fans

Quick pictures, I've suddenly found my build hitting overdrive so I am doing a LOT of stuff

[masxerofkartis]

Its just too thick that thing. Why not use 1 fan in between instead of two?

Read the posts And that's a nice job using those 45's

[Nitro99a]

was wondering if any one could help me. I have the PC-P80 case w/ an EVGA X-58 mobo, a coolit freezone elite cpu cooler. But the vreg cooler on the mobo hits the freezone when I put the mobo into the case. the freezone mounts on the rear exhaust, in place of the 120mm fan.. can any one can help me with any fab ideas

[zanzabar]

Its just too thick that thing. Why not use 1 fan in between instead of two?

it needed to be 26mm thicker so he used decapitated yate housings (2 micro center and 1 jab) and a few silicon spacers

we are both xg and frozen tech so we are on the same vent, thats how i got the info if u were wondering, and the post says it too

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

So I kind of like this idea so I'm going to actually do it:

Zanzabar and I chill in ventrillo for at least a little while each day, sometimes all day, and we talk about computers and XS and all that good stuff. I figured it would be nice to invite all of you to come chat as well

Please come to the Frozentech OC channel and you may Idle and chat there.

hai snipe

just wondering why you use extender in that MCW30 ? can it be done with the BP 45's only ? or probably the BP 45's can't get with mcw30 coz it have countersunk in the thread ?.. i wanna do the same thing, but still confuse about it will fit or not..

thx..

the 45 by itself wont go into the housing on the MCW-30 and thus it wont seal beacuse of its sunken O-ring design. The ST transfer adapters have a non-sunk O-ring the fits in the MCW-30 with a nice and snug seal.

personally I think it looks better with the adapter too

thx mate, it finnaly answered all this time...thingking to get 2 of those MCW30 and add it with koolance swivel 90', but i guess it wont fit, coz it needed more extender thought...

Absolutely love the build. White and black is hella-gorgeous. Time to paint the swifty!
