this is Da best water block ever

[Duniek]

I'm speechless

Did you make all measures "handly" or 3d element scanning?
all fits perfect, that is awesome

[BreeSpree]

Looks awsome, what pains me more than the alu/copper mix is how hard it must have been to mount that thing. Everything would have to be perfectly set into the PCI-E slots and then you would have to screw it in. I wonder how he attached it to the second Sli card? However it is very blingy, I would sure use that if I could make one. Something makes me think that there could have been a better all-in-one design block though. Still gets 10/10 all the way though. Especially 10/10 for creativity.

I heard it as Big Ugly Fat F'er...

yah Fword seems to be more PC then F@%K.

[twwen2]

Yeah i saw this on bit-tech a while back, it's just amazing!

[xTKxhom3r]

holy thats ing amazing awesome work bro and im sure the temps arnt bad

[hellcamino]

That is an absolutely incredible work of art with function, to all you who have anything bad to say about it...Where is your elegantly engineered and hand built hardware that can compare to it?

[Waterlogged]

WL ive used them and the OG Noctuna's, and when i placed them next to a yate low speed and then did exactly what masaville did, which was yell a bunch of vulgar words on why 1 silenX fan costed as much as my entire fan setup of yates?



shall i necro this thread WL?
Sorry I hate SilenX with a passion, and yes ive used them.

The part i bolded is exactly how i felt after i grab'd yates and compared them.

NaeKuh, I too was a bit upset about spending so much on the SilenX when I finally got my first YL SM's, but in all honesty, I never really believed the CFM/dbA numbers on the SilenX in the first place so I wasn't too disappointed by their performance. I did buy more than a few of them though, and try to use them when ever possible just to get rid of them and they really aren't as awful when they are just moving case air with simple wire grills. Once I've used them all and they finally all die, I can put that chapter of bad purchases to rest with most of the other "bad purchase" chapters I've had, the one exception being my BI GTS, that thing just refuses to die.

[WaterFlex]

Amazing!

[mpower1001]

That's insane

[bigslappy]

Oink Oink ! Let's get out there & put some lipstix on that Pig & sell it !

[atomic ferret]

Oh..my...god...

[Jimmer411]

Very nice block, it serves its purpose well.


Seeing as its not a production block for the masses I could care less if it is alu or cardboard. What matters is that the creater achieved his vision within the budget and design limitations he/she may or may not have imposed on themself. The block is art, not XS.

I really wish that all the ALU haters would just pipe down. I mean, you CANT buy the block, its not in your rig so who gives a ?

[SimpleTECH]

You know DarthBeavis is going to be jealous.





*Begins to step back a few feet*

[Apollo4g]

wow thats nice!

[tiro_uspsss]

i just wet my pants...

that is.. insane, amazing & awe inspiring
the craftmanship is superb

& the case is something out of this world

[naokaji]

A piece of art, but would perform twice as well if he would use real fans.

[rintamarotta]

Thats just one peace of great craftmanship.

10/10 for everything else exept cooling witch gets 2/10

[dualbrain]

Too bad the case fell off the table when it was supposed to get an MDPC-photoshooting. No kiddin' ...

Really! how p i s s e d would you be!

anyway, so you all know, I remember reading somewhere that the total cost for the completed system was 40K. can't remember if it was euros or what not. the costs broke down like this...

components, MB, CPU, GPU's etc... 4500
raw copper & alumimium blocks... 500
labour 700hrs @ average rate 50hr... 35000

40K!

But he did all the labor himself so total cost =5K + time.

[bentleya]

OUCH!!! you are joking right?

Well the only way it wound fall off is if the table capllosed, due to how heavy it is, you wound have to go some to push it off or lean on it ?

[Brodholm]

Is it just me or does that look awful? I think that the chassis is really ugly...

But I have to say that it is REALLY Impressive engineering

I would rather have a murderbox than that

It looks like a 12 year old boy did the design.

But hey, that's just what I think.

[voigts]

If he had a good anodizing job done on the inside of those aluminum tops, he would be OK if he uses a healthy dose of antifreeze or the like. Apart from the alu issue, I fail to see how the cooling is going to be inadequate at all.

This has got to be the most incredible build I have ever seen. Truly unbelievable.

[Jah]

Holy mother of god!

Some ppl have to much time and money, simply out standing engineering, this in not a computer this is a sculpture.

[NysoO]

Nice engineering indeed! Although I think the case is a bit wierd.
The back is fully "open", no motherboard "plate" or such. He avoided to take pictures on the back so I guess there is a reason for it. Also the case looks like it is frontside back. It is tilted down "backwards" which make it look a bit stupid

[mstrmold]

Its just you.

Anxiously awaiting to see Brodholm's masterpiece made to life.
