why did you take the HS of the pwn?

bumping up an old thread but wanted to see if you had any new updates? also wanted to know what sort of temps you were running using your water loop?

i tried for a while to pick up a windy soldam case but it looks like i'm going to go with this case as well and possibly water it. i've currently got an a05b that is passively cooled and quiet, love the inverted design in it so that plus the chambers in this one appeals to me.

another question as well and maybe an idea for you, but could you de-rivet the hd cages in the bottom and flip them around, that way you don't see the cables? trying to plan this out before i actually go with this.

I didn't notice one, but do you have a reservoir in there?

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

I'm going to take more pictures in a bit, maybe a day.

my quad idles at 28C, not sure what ambient is.....
load it never breaks 55c during my everyday config.

never thought of flipping the drive cages (sounds like a good idea), when I take pictures I'll have a peek and let you know.

I rebuilt due to PSU failure.. twice

here are three nice pics of what I changed.

[Yeknom]

I like the orange dye with the orange video card heatsink. Good job

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

big update, maybe this could get moved to the worklogs section plz?

so I added a second loop made my own window and had a pain of a time cutting the very thick ALU these doors are made of, I need some u channel edge molding to make it look proper

Otherwise it has come out great, next time I get around to draining my cpu loop i will be sleeving that with UV yellow techflex sleeve. enjoy the pics, it looks downright dirty, the green isnt as light as it appears in these pics (I color corrected the first pic to show a more realistic uv effect)

I have updated my sig, i am getting excellent performance out of this









SilenX radbox, chopped the fan out and used the housing for the spacer

[nzbleach]

nice. Xmas colors on the DFI ftw

man how did u cut those ati stock coolers?

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

man how did u cut those ati stock coolers?

rotary tool, i was careful to leave the mountpoints for the fan shroud intact and i did a bit of modding to the enzotehc ramsinks as the fan made a bit of contact with them.

in my process of modding i also discovered that the ati stock GPU heatsink has 0 copper whatsoever in it only painted at the base to decieve consumers (I chopped it to a million pieces)

[illidan]

any closeup pictures of cards?

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

this is one of the cards, not as clean as the second one i did, but i dont think i have closeups of that (this includes my voltmod as well)

[0ut0fstep]

Looking good snipe!!!!

how did u cut the window?

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

how did u cut the window?

really terribly

seriously thought the case sides (v1000 style obv) on this case are 1/8" ALU and they are nearly impossible to cut. I started with a high speed rotozip + a 20$ metal cutting bit and the first cut went fine, then my guide slipped out of the clamp (read vertical side). Then the bit stopped working and wouldn't cut. I finished the bottom edge with a few cutoff wheels and then tried my second rotozip bit (another 20$ ) but that started melting the aluminum and ruined the small angled corner (as you can see ) then I finished the last side with big cutoff wheels. overall not great but I' will be moving to a PC-p80 around Christmas.


I bought some rubber edging to clean up the look but it was too small to fit on the 1/8" aluminum of this case side anyone know where i can get some that WILL work with this case side? (same case side as v1000 series, just different square edges)

ummm my sidepanel is about twice as thick as that pc-60 yeah, I would've used a nibbler but the metal is even too thick for that'



here's an update, I got my system into the photo studio today, enjoy this beauty

[jimmyxxx]

How much does it weight ?
Nice build ayway

What kind of temps does this guy get? Those two huge rads must keep it unbelievably cool.
