*I’m using Resurrect on my worklog!*
Firstly let me apologize that all the below is being hosted on imageshack temporarily since I cannot access my FTP at the moment.
Admit it, you thought this project died! .... and well it kinda did. I have this really bad habit which makes even easy projects take a long time. The habit is called procrastination. You may have heard of it. ANYWHO. I did make a lot of progress the last few days and here is an update (with pictures).
The pictures below are somewhat far apart chronologically and one of them is just a picture of me overclocking my ram while I was sitting on aircooling for a while (threw that in just for fun).
What I have DONE so far:
* psu holes drilled and test fitted
* spacers used on psu screws so that with front power plug the front panel still can attach properly
* radiator opening was cut in bottom of case
* water loop was assembled
* water loop was leak tested
* main components and water loop were installed
* system was powered up
Despite my original plans there are some much more pressing things that need to be taken care of before I can really continue with this project:
* wiring needs to be cleaned up badely
* proper case feet need to be installed so that radiator can breath
* a modular psu like a corsair 620hx would help save some space
* a proper mount for the pump needs to be fabricated since its just "hanging" now (as you saw in pics)
* either a 5.25" enclosure or suspension needs to be done with the hard drive since it very very loud right now since it is hard mounted in the 3.5" bay
* I kind of cobbled together my own way of mounting the cpu block so i need to do some overclocking and temperature monitoring to see if the block is sitting nicely and giving proper temps
* obvious stability testing to see if i broken anything despite all the manhandling of the hardware over the last few days/weeks
....once all the above is taken care of I'll go back to my original plans and see what I can do:
