Is there a port hole window thingy on Flints build? Or are you thinking of Reflexion?

Yes, there is a port hole,(as you wouldn't be able to see out of the dinge/boat/ship/freighter, damm it keeps getting bigger) but where it go no body knows.

Something old (Port Window):

[Weevil]

Ahhh, I see now, forgot about that.

Grand Bleu is AMAZING.

Love the matte black fittings as well. I'm sure getting tired of sanding and spray painting the little guys (tho all white bitspower is pretty nice)

wait there's matte black D5 covers <leaves>

Thanks, John. White bitspower fittings would look sweet. I'd love to see how they turn out!

Fittings look sweet Flint, really looking forward to seeing where they go.

Thanks, kg. After leak testing the GPU loop, I shall post pics to share where they have been deployed very soon.

I really wish BP would stop making their covers and rings one piece. Keeps them from working on a few different tops.

Those matte black ones like sick. Even better that they didn't use the gold logo. The white one looks much better IMO.

I am a firm believer that ANYTHING can be accomplished with enough brute force.

Regarding the gold logo on black - it grows on you. Didn't feel it at first but now its like an old friend. heh.

...If this build was based on Ninjas (instead of the clearly superiour Pirates theme), the black and gold gives off that old school myserious traditional Asian feel.

I'm certain there are some ways to remove them. Dynamite, Everclear, soaking in polish remover, sand blast-repaint...

but I think it shall stay for when the final build pics are taken.

holy santa claus . updates are getting better and better .

Thanks, Tox. Working to make more updates that are hopefully just as interesting.

wow, black&green madness

Heyas, GK. Green and Black does look good as captured beatifully in Ding's build.
However, I'm swapping out the green O-rings with black and UV Blue to match the theme of the build.

Lovely Capt. Some of those matt black fittings are beautiful!!

Indeed they are, ding.

And i thought BitsPower fittings looked nice... Then i saw these

These are indeed, BitsPower, Namco. BTW dig your worklog.

Om nom nom *licks*

Wish my D5 blocks would hurry up - want to see what they're like in comparision to the BP covers!

Looking SMEXY!

~Bex

All the best to your build, Bex. Looking great so far!

very nice stuff. want to see those d5 covers installed.

Will do Incredible. Pics forthcoming...

Höly Crupp, everything about this build is stunning! Love your photos as always

Thanks Anemic. Appreciate it much!

Feed me updates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is my favorite build and I check this thread every day FYI. I want to see what you're doing with that blasted port hole window thingy!!! THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME !!! arhg asdfj.

Thanks, Vinas. Truthfully, I'm not exactly certain at this point where the port window will be installed. But I shall take pics as to possible locations.

Ahhh, I see now, forgot about that.

I have one 12" Port Window and one 9".

I'm still debating on a few possible locations. Details soon!




Thanks for viewing all!

These are indeed, BitsPower, Namco. BTW dig your worklog.

I know, i meant the bitspower SILVER ones. These are EVEN BETTER

Thank you Captain

same thing, blue is my choice

[CptDreadFlint]

I agree, GK. Hardly noticable at first, but the blue o-rings do look to be a good match.



I'll post more of the other fittings with the blue O-rings soon.

Cpt, have you tested the noiseblocker fans yet? I'm having a argument inside my head between gentle typhoon 1150rpm and noiseblocker XL1 . GT seems to win in performance but I really like the looks of XL1 and they'd look great with leds, but dont know how well they would keep my radiators cool and I cant find so many posts about noiseblocker fans in general

[RCG_Bex]

Very observant aren't we?

Ahoy Elpy! While I haven't personally tested my NBs XL2 Rev3 yet, a very comprehensible fan testing thread showing detailed comparison charts of flow vs rpm and noise vs air flow was done by Martin.


Check out his retesting here.

It does contain data on NB XL1, NB XL2 and the much coveted Gentle Tees.

Good luck on your build and I hope this helps you out!

Heh. Not really, Bex.
But I noticed that my thoughts and methods during this chronicle of madness is evolving. I'm becoming a tad bit attentive to detail.
Usually when something is out of whack, I used to just stare and go off to A.D.D. land.

Sad that my chi and balance comes from replacing stock o-rings with blue ones.

Enjoyable worklog you've got BTW!

[BlaZ1n.IVXX]

I just found this build. All I can saw is wow. This is outstanding. The work yo do makes me feel retarded.

[charles_h]

Awesome Stuff Rick!

I'm very interested to see where those port holes are going, hehe

Just make sure that when you're done, you're on the right side of them.

[alphadog009]

Thanks Charles! I have no solid idea where the window will go at the moment. And aye. I shan't open port windows on the wrong side. I'm still getting water out me boots from the last error. Heh.

Merry Christmas to you John! I'm in the middle of taking pics of the port window in several possible locations. Hopefully, I shall come to an idea soon enough.

Merry Christmas to you all and as always thanks for checking in!
