**Polizei** · 03-30-2008, 05:31 PM

Dimas is a good guy. Should work well.

Check the phase change forum here for some of his work.

ow ye i just bought this phase change unit for £325 is it worth it, is it anygood? i know nothing about phase

heres the link

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...TODAY.m238.lVI

Bit from the description;

'Has only been used for bench testing my new rig
with very little use, also some gaming whilst testing
my tri Sli rig you can run this unit 24/7 if you wish to and it
cools down to around -69 with no load and cools my
core 2 duo E6850 down to around -48 overclocked at 4.20 Ghz
1.560 Vcore.
This unit would be ideal for a heavy overclocked Qaud core
around 300 watts or more offering far better cooling
than a Mach 2 GT or Ls'

**Polizei** · 04-02-2008, 09:29 AM

Doesn't say who built it, but sounds like a good unit. It's designed to deal with high heat output, like that of quad cores. No processor out no outputs more than 300w, so you are set.

If he said who built it and what evaporator design is in it, it would be easier to give you a thumbs up or down. Looks to be thumbs up though. Post a link in the phase change forum here, someone should be able to help you.

**nOcLuE98** · 04-02-2008, 10:07 AM

man that is looking really good. I have been looking around for some good 900 builds to give me ideas for what to do with mine, and I am really liking what you are doing. I can't wait to be able to post my work log! I just need the balls to actually go tear my case apart

**FilluX** · 04-02-2008, 12:15 PM

Haha me too

**boardonwheels** · 04-02-2008, 12:32 PM

Very nice! First time iv seen fan mods on top of the 900. Looks like you have an awesome workshop.

**dean0** · 04-02-2008, 01:25 PM

Primer is dry, quick sand with 1500 grit get the surface nice and smooth ready for airbrushing;

First mask off the area that is be airbrushed, using 'low' tack masking tape or it might lift the primer;

[/url]

The area that is coverved in masking tape will be sprayed black to match the case frame;

[/url]

Bezel is being airbrushed aswell;

[/url]

Fan modules finished just need to add some weathering and cracks;

http://<br /> <br /> ...same with ....jpg[/img]

no more holes;

[/url]

antec logo gone forever;

[/url]

fans with the masking tape removed;

[/url]

[/url]

Update tomoz, need to spray the fan module frames black, and add weathered/cracks onto modules and bezal to match panels. Start graphics on the panels, and thats about it

thanks 4ya comments :wink:

nice work! the fans look really nice! you did really excellent work.

**mpilchfamily** · 04-02-2008, 11:56 PM

I hope the fans don't burn out on you. With all that paint on them they are sure to be off balance now so your sure to get more noise coming from them. But everything looks great.

**SteveSuk** · 04-05-2008, 11:51 AM

amazing work!

**karl_eller** · 04-07-2008, 02:36 AM

That is an amazingly sexy case. I really love the stone look.

That stony look came up pretty good, I had my doubts about it at first but now that I see it all coming together..
