That thing you use to mark some text in a book..text-marker? haha

Textliner is what it's called.

Textliner. Oh god. I have only one thing to say. I rock.

[dnb#]

I used to have pink UV marker stuff in my loop. That was 5 years ago. I can tell you, your loop is garbage within 2 months.

Let this be an warning!

[BeeN]

yep that might be a big failure dude

[Arni]

I use also txtliner to colorfull coolant but after couple of weeks tubes was darker and color was darker

btw First post xD

[rafwlkp]

Yeap right Arni. Don't use it. rbsmontemor if u want have intensive color use dye like Feser View Active UV Dye.

[rbsmontemor]

I'll wait and see what happens...in the worst case I'll have to buy new tubing..

I'll let you know if anything bad happens

Rbs.

After I finished the UV blue project, i realized i don't like it...
So, I'm going easy over to black&white, LED's in fans will be changed as soon as I manage into white, so will come white neon lights...

This is present situation.

CPU-mirror finish:



Cable management under MBO:



Mainboard in place:



Front triple (TT) rad chilled with 5 (!!!) fans, 2 of them PAPST from an old IBM server ("tornado papst")



And my room



Liquid is distiled water with anti corro fluid and black ink.

Man I hate those front panel connector cables...

De5tr0yer your HDD screaming : My CAPITAL ! Change HDD place... But everything else is OK

[De5tr0yer]

De5tr0yer your HDD screaming : My CAPITAL ! Change HDD place... But everything else is OK

No way

It's better cooled this way, but it would have been straight up if IDE cable is just 5cm longer...

[Papu]

pics are hooooooooooooge ,

looks great otherwise

[stormshadow]

damn. please find another solution for your hard drive mount

[rehpyc]

haha, I think your setup screams for a new case that better fits your needs. Why use the case's 'storage box' that takes up a drive bay rather than putting your hdd in there?

[dualbrain]

Just wanted to share the other side (the right) of the case with you too. Twisted PSU-Bracket makes it possible to place two SmartDrives on some very wobbly stuff to eliminate any vibrations. But still the seek noise of the Raptor150 is audible, I expected a better sound-performance than the Silentmaxx-HD-Silencer - but that is not really noticable.
Anyways ... to keep everything as clean as possible, some of the PSU-Cables were modified because mostly they were way too long or had a mixture of SATA and 4-pin Molex connectors on them (Enermax Liberty).

dualbrain, extremely clean! Nice job!

[disruptfam]

super clean!! nice

nice photo's also

[BlueAqua]

Damn nice DualBrain, more pics!

[LockBreaker]

Dualbrain: Did you sleeve all the cables on the 24-pin or did it come like that right out of the box?

[peebee]

He sleeved them all
Bloody hands and a beautiful result for that work

[LockBreaker]

Wow. That must have taken a lot of your time. But it turned out bea-uti-fulllll.

DualBrain, are you opitical drives resting on funky orange sponges?

[Zeus]

DualBrain, are you opitical drives resting on funky orange sponges?

For noise reduction.

Final Decision: no UV cathodes, but more Leds

[dualbrain]

Hi guys
The sleeving is bloody hand-made as peebee said, it took me ~5 minutes per cable (it is a hassle with the little ATX, ATX12V and PCI-E pins). I had a quantity of photos a few pages before - I think on page 260.
These are harddrives on the orange sponges - with zero vibration transfered to the case. I have cut them to thin stripes after this photojob, to provide a better airflow through them, it just resulted in a 1°C advantage.

[disruptfam]

awesome bundy!!!

Can I use these fan screws with the ThermoChill PA.120.3? A little bit OT, but it's okay for now. Isn't it?
