Shazza's Modest Mountain Mods Build

[BlueAqua]

The red coolant in the nickel blocks looks great shazza. Sorry for the tubing switcharoo on the cpu block. The performance difference sometimes is really more negligible than you might think sometimes between different setups. Tell me if I'm asking too much but can you make a wall paper sized picture of your gpu setup? I'd love to see the detail.

Looking great once again, and the front is a tough job to really look neat. I've always thought just to keep it simple, but you get the idea.

[shazza]

Wow, Shazza, it's looking sweet!

One question...what is that? ^^

Sorry. I assumed everyone interested in the MM cases had seen ArmenianDave's fantatic build. This gadget fills in the space between the two radiators, hides any cabling you have back there, and gives a more finished look to the insides.

I'll check on the GPU setup pics. I agree on keeping it simple. May yet try the plain wire grills again. But, I do prefer the LED fans in front, just need to get the right ones. No worries on pointing out my inlet/outlet issue. Always good to learn how much difference it does/doesn't make.

Also, my black faceplate for the Aquaero showed up (had to order it from the UK), so that may solve some of my problems as well.

Thanks! I had been following his build but I must not have subscribed!

I'm going to go have a look.

Shazza congrats on a beautiful build... everything is where is suppose to be !!!!! Im jealous!!!!!

[dingdong555]

Shazza, any wallpaper size pictures of all the coloUrful tubes? Everytime I see them I tend to drool on my keyboard.

[N19h7m4r3]

Damn it Shazza! I came here to see some nice pics, then I saw these.

I scrolled away promptly before my head exploded from the awesomeness that they are.

[headala]

Shazza, looking good as always. One thing: You could flip your CPU block around 180 degrees and then I think your tubing wouldn't cross; it shouldn't affect performance either if you do it 180.

Thanks ... you, sir, have nothing to be jealous about!!!!

Have had a couple of requests for this ... will see what I can do.

lol ... gracias. Wouldn't want your head to explode ( I see enough of that in Fallout 3).

Good idea ... I'll give it a try tonight.


Also ... wanted to point out that, in the GPU pic with the red color (Feser One) - it looks like there is gunk on the internal nickel in the shots - you don't see that in person, so I'm guessing it's reflections from the photo.

Shazza,
Looking outstanding as usual! Can't wait to see the whole system.

[NysoO]

Looking nice, looking very nice indeed!

great game, also a bit addicting, be sure to get the downloadable content as well, the gauss rifle you can get is fun :S sorry for off topic shazza

Fallout 3 make sure you get the ray gun from the alien before killing the final boss (1hit ko)

Shazza is 3/8 more bendable then 7/16 tubing?

[BDW88]

Incredible build Shazza! any lighted pics with the rad grill?

Would really like to see how Iandh's grill looks mounted.

[Jhors2]

I love the color in the EK waterblock actually!! I second, third, and fourth the idea on getting wallpaper size pics!! congrats on 1000 posts btw

[oRIDDLERo]

This is one of the cleanest looking builds i have ever seen. Great job!!!

This is a sick bend - What tube is this and was that a natural or a treated bend?



EDIT: Subscribed.

Size of tubing has little to do with its bend radius. To improve bend radius, one needs to get thicker walling on the tubes itself. The reason I've been using 3/8" tubing for the past 2 years is that I lost only .2C yet it made routing 10x easier without the fat 3/4" tubing getting in the way.

[Jokester_wild]

wow Shazza! I hope my built turns out even close to your quality

[ILikeCosmosS]

shazza do you know if anyone makes msi eclipse waterblocks?

[NaeKuh]

yet it made routing 10x easier without the fat 3/4" tubing getting in the way.

well we got bitspower now. :T

so you really dont need bends like that, unless your after it for looks.



Shazza i think you convinced me on getting an eVGA X58 and then later stepping up to a classified.

[shazza]

Yep ... I set it up that way cause I like it I've got plenty of BP fittings I could have used, just wanted to have a little loopty-loop for color.

Also ... for those waiting for some higher res and new pics, I'm out of pocket til Sunday and didn't get a chance to load them before I left.

i like the old version before the tube cross as well...you could always spin the block around so it is connected correctly

i need some full case pics.....(w/ light) - no more sneeky full case ones in the dark!

....sunday....

[John Planet]

Truly beautiful work, shazza!

[dreamaxx]

Wow that looks so awesome Shazza!! I am so glad there is a WOMAN in amongst all these men who is doing such awesome stuff... It's a boy's world we're in

I LOVE how the compression fittings LOOK, they're just gorgeous, and I totally wanna use them on my future build. Are they really that difficult for a noob to get the hang of?

Agree ... getting ready to flip the GTZ.

Thanks, John.

Thanks ... (the boys are actually pretty helpful, and very nice guys )
You can check out compression fittings when the package arrives.


OK ... here are some "prep" pics ... still have work to do on the build, but also trying to figure out how to get decent shots. Consider these WIP:






























(Just having fun with the macro lens on the last two)
