ur micro res should b there early next week, can't wait to see what you can do with that

thanks you so much, much appreciated!

big hand for pvtdonuts

nice choice of hardware parts

looking good man

just one thing, you might have a hard time filling up with the inlet to the pump being set up like that, I've had set up my Laing D5 like that and the coming back from the loop wouldn't return back into the inlet of the pump.
but let us know how you go

yea it took awhile but i got it to full eventually. i just screwed
in a fitting to the top of the fillport and added a foot of tubing
and just filled it like a normal Tline so it wasnt that bad

cant wait to get a hold of that res!

[evil-98]

thanks again pvtdonunt, ok guys i got the res!
no more this Tline madness.. got some ideas for the
res, just need to get the right drill bit size! 11.8mm is
hard to find and ordering is just to expensive

theres a weird stain that i cant get out. looks like its
worked its way into the acrylic and/or between the
glue, ideas? ive tried to clean out the res, but its hard
so i just gave it a nice bath in some warm water and
soap.

for sure the top is going to get rethreaded for G1/4
and the bottom is going to be tapped as well. just
need to think of a interesting way to mount it.

cheers

nice update me

[ownage]

Replace the capsule. I couldn't get mine off, and the plastic is messed up because i tried to get it off. So i can't get the capsule off I will look for a metal one.
It sucks because is wanted to redo my loop today, but i guess it will have to wait a couple of days.

Oh, and BTW, incredible build evil-98

[Arni]

mcres should be opening by this :

[pvtdonuts]

I tried cleaning it out b4 I shipped it off to you but that stain just wouldn't go away. In case your wondering though its Hydryx, so its nothing too nasty.

Thanks man, i will try that tomorrow

[evil-98]

eww, i never liked hydryx, i use all the left over hydryx i can on client builds

anyways, im going to retap the top for G1/4 as said so the cap isnt going to be an issue.

i need to tear down the rig some time this week, im RMAing the CPU i cant live
with stuck sensors ill take a week or two but newegg is pretty quick with
it so im ok with that.

newegg gots the Q9550 in stock, looks like a nice cpu too bad it wasnt out when
i bought the 9450.. lol oh well, the new procs is alot faster then my 6850
at simple tasks.. its weird but cool at the same time

i bought a palm sander so i can start prepping for paint asap, havent decided
on the front panel yet, but some HTPC multimedia displace are starting to look
nice. ill need to look into it some more but for now its slow goings

cheers

[disruptfam]

finished? hehe

[disruptfam]

Evil i was thinking of doing this for my lan build.But as the fillport is so close to the pump how would that be bleeding wise?Did you try it out before switching to mrcres?



edit: never mind thanks for that

[evil-98]

yea the loop is fully bleed right now, i havent installed the mcres without
tell you guys all i did was added a fitting to the top of the fillport
and a foot of tubing to fill, so it extends the Tline, so its not that short

the loops tiny anyways and the thing isnt that heavy, so i just plugged
the end of the tline and rotated the machine (its a good 35+lbs)

im still looking for a 11.8mm drill bit that is affordable.. i have 11.4 and
11.10 so thats doesnt work out well lol

[disruptfam]

whats the 11.8mm drill bit for?

[evil-98]

whats the 11.8mm drill bit for?

1/4" bspp tap, so i can added a hole on the bottom of the res

[disruptfam]

A lil off off topic...

But i need to drill the hole for the fillport.

Would this work???Also what size arbor would i need?

well youll need it to be actually alittle bigger then that

1" converts to 25.4mm

and i cant tell what arbor it needs from the info it gives me


heres what i do to the res so far

[disruptfam]

evil this would work yeah?

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=91201

problem is i can't get that in aus.Could some1 ship 1 over to me???

wow i had no idea harbor freight had them for so cheap!
sure i can ship one to you, how much would that cost?
i think im going to get a few of these (redundancy )

you have pm

[Big_Daddy]

I have that exact set, and man, do they work well. Just remember, the 1" isn't 1", it's 1.35" the 3/4" is actually 1.08" They are for electricians. They are to make holes in the metal circuit boxes for conduit. Hence the larger than listed sizes. Just for reference:

1/2" = .86" or 22.2mm
3/4" = 1.08" or 27.5mm
1" = 1.35" or 34.4mm
1 1/4" = 1.69" or 42.9mm

but once you add grommet to the hole, it's real close.

[ChinStrap]

hmmmm... did you buy that sound card aftermarkek?

i'm thinking about getting this moherboard and i wanna use a sound card with it

hey thats great to know thanks!

hmmmm... did you buy that sound card aftermarkek?

i'm thinking about getting this moherboard and i wanna use a sound card with it

actually the sound card doesnt work, its from my striker board
im still trying to get it to work but the card recognizes the board
and refuses to allow me to install the correct drivers. so i looked
for soundmax drivers by them selves, but then board doesnt
recognize the sound card, then i disabled internal sound, then window
says theres no HD audio drivers.. it just keeps going and
going and going.. still looking for a solution, but for now i have the
updated HD drivers for the onboard which are nice

edit:

if anyone knows a way around it, please let me know much appreciated

Gday evil

I'm looking at doing a very similar build to yourself. I'm wondering, was it at all possible to fit an MCR-220 internally in the same position as you fitted the 320?

Thanks

[evil-98]

its possible, but theres a quite a bit requirements

you can fit one as long as you dont have a graphics
card, or if you extend the pci-e to the first slot and
the card needs to be single slot. but yea its definitely
able to fit a mcr220 internally

[Statts]

Ok, well I will be using a single slot 8800GT (probably with MCW60 or FC block).

What is this extending to the first PCI slot you talk of? Some kind of adapter card?

[evil-98]

update!







the speakers work amazingly well, there going to be mounted either on a
matching face plate, or somewhere else on the case, but it looks pretty
cool were it is right now, as of now the speakers are set as my center
which is nice, so i can have multiple outputs, and yes its a 4870! its pretty
nice but my 8800 gts's feel better overall, none the less this is one kick
ass lan rig (if i ever lan...)

but heres whats going down

now that i have the 4870, interior is going to be light red, which means

1. need red LEDS, probably like 10 of them

2. red tubing or tygon + red coolant, probably red tubing because i have
no experience with coolants and if there reliable. unless someone can
suggest some good coolant, feser looks nice, but is the red, well red?

3. need to finish cables, i need to shrink that 24 pin, things are getting messy

4. outside stays white, inside may be black, and possibly red but black is
what i probably will go with to keep the idea of day and night

5. need to find a better place for the pump, or switch it out for a DDC
i need to get that drive back in the cage, because i going to put 2 single platter
320s in the system when finished, if there isnt enough space i might have to
move the fans outside!

6. wish i could get a 4870X2 (but the 4870 was sponsored so im not complaining)
