Sneil SLI-CF Cascade (56k)

[Sneil]

Wow thanks everyone for the amazing compliments, glad you all like it. There will for sure be plenty of benchmarks to come although im currently out of a rig atm and wont be purchasing a new one until the Nv9800s come out in feb or whenever(hopefully sooner). I may just get a couple gt's to tie me over til then but we'll see, i might just end up waiting the few months though.

I've never thought that handmade MDF case can look such beautiful .

Very clean work .

That valve near henry is blow-off ?

Thanks piotres, recognize the hold down plates? not entirely sure what your seeing, it's the brass threaded valve sticking out horizontally left open at one end.

I also built a cascade case out of MDF. Be sure that you A) perfectly insulate everything which could cause condesation und B) if you use rolls/wheels, do not use only four - use at least 6, because otherwise the base plate will bend and bend until it cracks or touches the floor. (thats from my experience )

edit: looks really nice!

thanks for the advice, although i for this unit im going without wheels altogether, but definatly see your point, this weighs a ton alright.

you should edit matsua for matsu$hita

cascade is great looking
but I am not sure about compatiility with ATI cards
evaps has flat base so you must a take off ihs from card

Done Not sure what you mean about ATI cards? Are the ihs's not flat?

More or less which is the cost of this proyect?

a LOT lol that's all im gonna say, she's expensive

PS: how much does that thing weigh? the case can't have helped I would imagine :P

just went and put her on the scale, 110.5 pounds bare cascade. The case i'd imagine weighs another 15lbs or so. I'll get a final measurement in the end for curiosity's sake.

MDF.... I only have one worry on that one :P Looks real sharp and all.
BTW, is the mounting bracket actually touching Evap? How do you insulate THAT? Curious...

electical will be all be concealed properly, everything important will be in the junction box and there will be ZERO bare wires and will be well insulated.
As for the bracket, if you look carefully its almost already covered by the head insulation and pretty much the entire card and pcie slot will be insulated anyway, don't worry about the bracket, it'll be buried in there.

IHS is little higher than core surface area
