[PROJECT] Homewrecker V2

[Breathless]

that's the setup i got !

Oh cool. Would you mind if I Pm'd you and inquired more about your setup and what results you are getting?

Wow, Petrashop is really running low on those EK blocks. Most of their chipset/mosfet/cpu/gpu blocks by EK are out of stock. How long before you think they get more?

Oh evil you're extreme, putting the d5 down to 24v... we'll see how it works

The only think that its a little worst than hole system is the upper radgrill, i think it will look better if you can do some mesh like the original silverstone one, but for 3x120, it'll look so elegant because now the radgrill its cutting the line of the tj07... (sorry for my english..)

Well evil very good worklog and pics!

PD: did you recived the d60?

Bst regards!

small update:

got most of the basic design of my rad grill done, turns
out swiftech's dimensions are really wrong, one thing
i did forget to measure is the length and width of the rad
so if thats wrong too, then its back to the drawing board.
literally..

Could you post your measurements of the MCR...I was planning an upgrade for my other machine, and was using the published rad dimensions from swiftech.

Thanks in advance evil!

[twwen2]

Looking good evil, can't wait for the next update!

Could you post your measurements of the MCR...

Speaking of measurements, did you ever get those case top dimensions?

[xTKxhom3r]

wow those led's on the waterblocks look sssiiiccckkk!!!! im going to do that for sures!!!!!

more like up to 24v but yes, alittle extreme but thats what we
do around here right

anyways, still working on the design, trying not to coincide with the TJ07s
native design too much and dont want to kill flow. so i may end up going
with the original rad grill design or something completely drastic well just
have to see

Thanks in advance evil!

sure, i wish i had like 2 hours to spare, i havent had enough time to get all
the dimensions down but enough to work with.

@everyone else:

thanks guys, the project is moving, and theres nothing stopping me but
time and sleep! but who needs that right...

cheers

[evil-98]

heres a version of my grill with inspiration from charles_h and his murderbox
big +ups to charles now my version is obviously a bit fatter for air flow
which makes it loose its elegance.. this is one of the many different
designs ive done, just havent posted. this one i just rendered really quickly
just to show you guys. dont worry about the front, its just a mock up, just
wanted to see how it would look.

still need to check the dimensions of the rad grill again, to makes sure that
it fits, as of now everything fits perfectly, with my rad grill it lifts the rad
5mm giving me enough space to clear the mobo and etc. still need to cut
the mobo tray, and might need to change a few things but would make
things much more enjoyable.

cheers



edit

heres another version, i let it render longer so its cleaner



cheers

I think that the first its a little bit better than the second, but iI qould prefer to do more holes, and smaller cuts, it will rocks

And the 5 1/4 bays do you think to make some think too?

Best regards and congrats for your mod!

[Colossous]

I like the traditional style here on this case - maybe you could mock up with the grill slats running downwards parrelel to the case sides - would be different - would'nt know if it would work mind ?

[disruptfam]

i like the second one

[manyga]

i like the second one

I`m too!!

Its more....simple...more restrained!

[evil-98]

yea i think the second one is a more conservative choose
but that doesnt make it a bad one!

also

I GOT MY D60!!! turns out amazon sucks at updating progress
on orders, but there estimates were right on the money!! woot
it came a day early too!!

im snapping away as we speak!

yay for D60

I still deciding between the d80 and d60

lets see some pics

[Giannis86]

i like the second grill the most too
the first one has a nice concept behind it but it does need shorter cuts indeed

[evil-98]

I still deciding between the d80 and d60

lets see some pics

heres a few pics i took, dont be too hard on me! but my first
impression of the camera was that i was very small and light
compared to the d80 which i have used, ive also used a d70s
which was similar. what i do like the most is the little noise in
night shoots. i take all my shots in raw, given i have a 16gb
SD and pics came out on the warm side so i do use some post
work to cool it down. so far i like it alot the i havent had
much time to play with it yesterday and probably wont have
alot of time to play with it untill sunday, but so far its 2











cheers

[disruptfam]

nice pics!

Can't wait to get mine.See what i can do with it.

What lens on those pics?

i didn't realize i missed the update.

[RAID]

i'm really enjoying this thread. keep up the good work evil!

[b@llz0r]

looking good mate

lol @ "dont be too hard on me"... I wish I could take shots as good as yours

is that all one loop with a single DDC? im down to <1 GPM with cpu, nb & mosfets alone

[Breathless]

Evil....

I've heard of a few people with some complaints about this case and I wanted to know if any of them are valid.

1) "The side panel is flimsy and is not brushed aluminum like the rest of the case is"

2) "The side panel never fits on correctly... same thing with the motherboard tray. The screws never line up properly"

3) "The hard drive mounting system makes it so that the hard drives are not mounted straight because when you turn the screws, it moves them"

Also, how do you recommend stealthing a DVD Drive to perfectly match this case?

Thanks

[evil-98]

Hey thanks guys,

@disruptfam: im using the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR w/ VR on

@RAID: thanks!

@b@llz0r: no theres two loops,

loop 1: CPU + NB + SB + 360GTX + D5-V
loop 2: GPU + GPU + MOSFET + MOSFET + MCR320 + DDC

the DDC will be on the GPU loop

ok small update, the DDC is just there its not going to be
part of that loop though it is right below the res. i mounted
the first res for the CPU loop, looks like a good place for it,
the second loop is going to be filled from the back though the
"T" on the bottom GPU, like charles_h's murderbox. i
need to move the fillport around as you can see its not aligned
very well. the MCR is mounted up too but no fans yet, still
need to finalize the rad grill design. debating weather or not to
get things powdercoated is hard, theres not alot of places that
will do such a small job locally, i may end up taking it to the
shop and spraying it myself. i am very low on funds (D60.. lol)
right now, and i really want to have a nice finish on the inside.

things that still need to be done

1. finalize radgrill design
2. finalize front panel design
3. install and test D5-V @24v
4. refabricate inside panels covers (floor, 5.25 bay, mobo tray)
5. wire up LED light controler to accept 12v
6. lighting effects (blue led, uv cathos)
7. paint/powerdercoat interior

and a whole bunch more

enjoy

1. not true, the side panel is very strong, very thick material and it is also very nicely brushed, not sure where your getting this from

2. the side panel fits on very nicely and so does the mobo tray, maybe user error if anything

3. not sure what your asking here, the hard drive mounting system is pretty straigh forward, its just a 3.5" bay with a slot that sides in place on a mount that is held in place by a thumb screw

stealting a drive is pretty straight forward, all i did was cut off the arms on a bay cover and hot glued the face of the bay cover on top the front of the rom's tray. problem that i did have with this is that all the bay covers fit tightly so it may have some issues opening and reseating. you need to play around with all the bay covers to make enough clearance for the stealthed bay

check out b@llz0r's tj07, he did a quick tut on how he stealthed his drive

@evil98

What's the ID of the barb on those Bitspower fittings you have on the CPU ?

Are those 1/2" x 3/4" ?

What do you anticipate the noise level being on this system with your two water pumps? Do you think it will be quieter than a Mach II?

I am coming from phase and coverting to watercooling (less worry)

I am going to build a very similar system to what you have here, but I am concerned that it won't be any quieter, which is one of the things I am most looking forward to about a watercooling setup.

Thanks

[Pellepel]

wow nice tubings! looks amazing!

[Mankz_91]

A beautiful system, and beautiful photography too.

well actually this system is quiet loud, theres 3x 120mm 114 CFM panas for in a pull
on the 360GTX. thats pretty much the main source of the sound, there is a
high pitched hum from the 3x 40mm fan, and the 2x 92mm make a decend amount
as well. generally im not a sound guy, well my next build will be but generally
im not a sound guy.

heres a pic of how the loops work, hopefully without issues
