[Project] YAMMS

[twwen2]

Fresh out of the box, she gave them a look and asked "What are those?". Ever the fool, I replied "Breast implants", and slipped each bag into the top of her shirt. Suffice it to say, she was not amused. I think I'll be working in the basement late tonight...

Haha oops!
Keep up the updates, i'm falling in love with the MM case the more o look at it.

Funny thing is, i've never liked the MM cubes, they always looked too industrial and metallic to me, but yours is different for some reason. I think the matt anodized finish has won me over. I like it so much i might even get one in the exact same specs as yours, hope you don't mind!

[Pellepel]

Nice to see another MM going . Damn I wish I would of bought different liquid cooling parts and those compression fittings O well I guess from here on out is just going to be refinements.

Keep up it the good work, we like to see more pics!

I love the pile o' hardware. I am having Serious Deja vu. Subd.

Go for it and don't look back. This case is a joy to work with. You won't regret it.

Oh i LOVE delivery day. Just 2 more to go and stockpiling will be complete. Let's see what the wonderful carrier delivered today..

DD MPC-universal block. Is it just me, or is it smiling from its celebrity status in this thread?



Anyway..

Koolance nickel-plated brass drain valve (one for each loop)


2x XSPC bay reservoirs


Pile of black-oxide screws. I've never been excited about screws before, but these put a smile on my face. I'll demonstrate later.


Addonics disk array. 4 SSD disks in 1 5.25" bay. Removable trays, single molex power cable.


Mounting blocks






And that's it for tonight and unfortunately the next couple of days. Friday the real build starts.

[disruptfam]

looking good mate...

[twwen2]

Nice update, that stuff is just gorgeous .

@ the smiling DD block.

Where did you get the screws from? MM or somewhere else?

[skinnee]

I do like the smiling block...

poor RRR, a little piece of him died today.

[LogAn'sRun]

no pics until post 35, or is you're PB account maxed??

[pcaddict]

holy ! SSD's! SUBSCRIBED!

[IanY]

Now, please hare with me where in New York you found those low head allen screws. Please.

[mpower1001]

Nice build, just curious how the thermalright mosfet cooler fit on the top. I say this because someone on this forum had a problem with one of the clips on the top mosfet cooler. Did you have any problems fitting them?

[skinnee]

Okay, so I was reviewing the thread for another post...you're not going to stick those breast implants under those DDC's are you? IIRC, the heat generated by the DDC is to much for the fake juggies...you'll probably end up with a nasty mess or worse, killing those pumps.

+1 Good catch. I was too busy laughing at the implants gag that i forgot what what they were actually for. From what i've heard those things aren't safe under DDCs.

[mpower1001]

I did lose a 1 month old DDC-3.2 from mounting it flat against my case . I really dont know if this was the cause, but my new pump is mounted with space underneath it for cooling.

[dho]

I'm back in town and off work tomorrow, so I promise updates and progress! Thanks for all the support.

looking good mate...

Thanks again. It really broke my heart when you stopped your build

Home depot. Ok, just kidding. McMasters! Make sure you have a 1/16" hex bit.

Line	Qty	Part Number	Unit Price	Description
1 	1 Pack	92220A143	$9.34		Alloy Steel Low Head Socket Cap Screw 6-32 Thread, 1/2" Length, Packs of 25
2 	4 Packs	92220A141 	$8.31		Alloy Steel Low Head Socket Cap Screw 6-32 Thread, 1/4" Length, Packs of 25

Ships out of NJ same day, arrives the next. Between McMasters and Frozencpu, NY is a pretty nice place to be ordering from.

Yes, the stock clips do NOT work on the 790i motherboard. If you've already bought them, email support@thermalright.com with your order receipt attached and they will send you replacement clips once they're available. I have not received any yet, but they say 'early August'. If you haven't purchased yet, maybe just wait for the new version.

I hacked mine a bit to make it work. Check out this thread. And this post details the (ugly) way I made it work.

IIRC, the heat generated by the DDC is to much for the fake juggies...you'll probably end up with a nasty mess or worse, killing those pumps.

I'm hearing this advice a lot; sounds like a mistake I can't afford to make. I'll be installing the pumps on some modder's mesh risers on top of the implants. That should provide some good flow under/around without completely negating the benefit of vibration dampening.

At this point I have a duty to make the implants work. The case would feel inadequate if I didn't.

[Pellepel]

nice!

[fadetoblack]

awesome.. can't wait to see how this one turns out

[IanY]

Between McMasters and Frozencpu, NY is a pretty nice place to be ordering from.

Except its very nice to be about two minutes past the NY State border in Connecticut. Same shipping time, just no sales taxes with FrozenCPU. Of course I declare the state taxes on my 1040.. ahem

You're in the city, or in the suburbs ?

Thanks for the McMaster inventory listing !!

[IanY]

At this point I have a duty to make the implants work. The case would feel inadequate if I didn't.

If you take a couple of household kitchen sponges, place one on top of the implant, and then one below the implant. Mount the pump on top of the sponge and then clamp down. It prevents the implants from melting. Doesn't solve the need for airflow, but at least they stay perky and not droopy.

No egg in a sock here folks!

[YMAA]

Like the way it's coming so far! (And good use of the letters Y, M, and A )

That's even better. I take advantage of your fine state's tax laws at every opportunity (and declare later too of course).

I'm upstate, but travel down to the city a couple times per month. Enough to know I couldn't handle living there full-time.

Lots of progress today. Uninteresting stuff: reflushed rads, planned some tubing, planned some wire routing, rotated both my cpu and nb blocks, tested all fans.

Testing the sexy Scythe Kaze Master - I love it already.


Did a little painting.

Before:


Bye bye led fans after:



Installed front and rear radiators, grills, and fans.


Full frontal shot shows the clean look of those screws from mcmasters.



.. and I just realized I forgot to install the 5.25" disk array. Of course it has to be on the left side, so out everything comes again..

[skinnee]

what is that mesh in between the grills and rad? me likey!

[ls206]

looks good, I think that dvd drive is begging to be stealthed or covered with a li li cover.
keep up the good work!

[twwen2]

Cor blimey, that last pic looks menacing!

Very nice, progress is looking good.
