yes no cpu, but after that E2160 there hasn't been a CPU in for about 2 months of so ... :P

Than time to get to modding ^^


Some parts, the usual stuff


Stripped and intaped case, ready for cutting and painting ChainSaw


prepared for drilling holes for PA120.3 or PA120.2, so yes you can say it's universal


Got the psu cage out of it so I've got some room for radiators

Painting Time

Mobotray + Crossflow fan + Hardware


Case upside down, I've just remounted the wheels


Done, but do you se the edge on top, yes some black paint , but it's solved now


The other parts of the case


That's where I ended, the day

Got some more for you guys later today

[Oli4v]

continuing the progress ...@26 Februari 2009

'Cause of the fact there whas now a bit hole at the top this needed to be fixed

Simple and cheap radgrill FTW


Who's missing?


it arrived, it was a E6600

Now just some pics of the case , still aircooled but jeah, you know where we're goin' to :2pts:








from downunder


classical overview


playin' with daylight


imho best case of the case 'till now


my dead HD3870


my uber floppy bracket, look how neat, just functional, not so shiny as I like but you'll never see it, so who cares ?


at least It looks good from the outside

There will be more if you want it, 'cause from the next updates it's getting more to the direction of watercooling

[shazza]

Good deal ... you got some nice shots of the case and that copper HSF looks good (TRUE Copper?).

[Oli4v]

Thx shazza, it aint a TRUE Copper, its a Scythe ninja copper edition, very limited, I thought there were only 500 or 1000 in the whole world of these, best aircooler I've ever had together with the mugen 1

but WC is up and running, just need to buy some small parts for the little details and the easyness of filling and bleeding , gonna update soon

edit: gonna give an update, for free

The update from 22th of march 2009

First load of parts:
Lijstje ^^:
- 2GB Corsair PC6400, buyed from FuLcRuM@9lives.be.

now time for some pics :coke: with little bits of text here and there ...


my dead HD3870, this is the moment when I didn't know yet he was dead ...


some stuff in boxes

Getting back to work on the case 'cause I decided to use the PA120.2 in case of the 120.3, so now I have a spare PA120.3


What did I do, I emptied it again :o


all of the stuff that came out ...


my uber rad grill with some extra holes in it :hoola:


the Stacker with some extra holes in it :hoola:


Trying to find a spot for the RS120 that I bought from Roedi ..., yep, there you go mate


hooked up and putted some tubing on it


and that's the radgrill on the case propperly mounted
Check also the hole for the fillport

That whas the end of the day ...

And I do have more

[HuffPCair]

Awesome build, but what I really liked is how you started the thread with Hey ho. Made me giggle.

thx, we need to stay a little bit humoristic

but hey, got another update over here

update from the 23th of march 2009

'cause of the fact I'm having more pics, another update, hell yeah
tried blindflashing my HD3870 but it didn't help, also the person from who I bought it tried to do it, but it also couldn't do the job, but hey, than I'll buy a new card once, like a HD4770 when these come out or a second hand HD4870 or zo, we'll see, me likey ATi


this is what I saw on my 120.2, but it's leak free, so OK for me


My new monitor for this pc, 'cause it still had a 16"CRT, so this philips 190B will do better

but now, time for some pics, I did some arty work with my pa's and new RS120 (got 2 of these)


madness of boxes !


some radiator madness


stacked up


sweet little RS120


Thermochill ...


I need MOAARRRRR of these ... :coke:


Got Art ... ?


Added The Bitspower BLING !


lying on each other

Soon back to the rads, first my fillport !


well, that's it, 'cause a fillport is a fillport, nothing more, nothing less

now some totalshots with the rads mounted, it's like a crazy combination of air and watercooling ^^ :p




ooh what do we have here ?






And the classical overview

'ntill the next

[Oli4v]

hey ho, what about another update?

the update from the 2nd of april 2009

I thought 'bout somthing for behind the reservoir, so thinking will be easy transmitted into doing
Took some mesh and made the next thing for behind the multires 150

picturetime !


you see, very good stuff imho , 90° handcrafted by hammer and hand ^^


mounted into the case

now some other angels, don't look at the scratch at the HD cage, I made this one whil removing my hd's to the upper cage :P






And an overview 'cause imho there ALWAYS must be overviews

[Oli4v]

Thx all, now the last update I have 'ntill now, than you'll have to wait 'bout a week, 'cause I'm going to Berlin and Prague with school, wohoow 3 weeks of holiday total (easter holiday + this trip )

The update of the 13th of april 2009

I made a pumpbracket with some spare mesh


taking some sizes of things


moved myself to outside, 'cause the sun was shining :afro:


some spray painting, 'cause I scratched things and it will also fit the case's color better 'cause its the same collor :coke:


after a bit of filing and drilling I became to this


oops wrong order of pics :P, but this is how it should look (don't look at the quality of the pics, it's taken by my SE W880i

When I was done I moved inside and cleaned the driling machine etc ...
and moved back to inside to fill it again with hardware
altough, the hard drives and psu etc were still in it, so they survived a lot of shocks


the RESULT


howly banana, what a quicky, filled up with hardware


aha aha, me likey


an overview, 'cause imho .. . jeah, we always need overviews

so that's it ... 'n till next week for the next update

I also bought a second hand Lian Li V1000b Plus II wich will be the project after the second loop in the P182 wich is posted somwhere in here to
The name will be "Duality", because of the dual loops that will be in the V1000 and some of you might also think of the next song of slipknot

[MomijiTMO]

Looking good.

[alphadog009]

[Oli4v]

Looking good.

what cooler did you have on the card in the original air cooling setup?? do you think that cooler would work for an sli setup???

[Oli4v]

Update from the 26th of april 2009

So, after being busy 'ntill 'bout half past 1 this night@my stacker, it was imho time for an update, not a big one, and not a small one, that make's a medium one :P.
So I went to my grandparents for getting my package from it-service, I took it apart and opened it very chilled


This is it


Opened and what did I saw, more cardboard ..., very well packed


After al that cardboard I saw the next things in front of me eyes


Unpacked it, just that EK backplate isn't for me


Emptyed the case (again : rolleyes


Than putted the hardware and al the other stuff together with it


mounted the fans on my PA120.2, but there wasn't enough light, so my dad came up with this solution
 

And here, well here we're doing the "Coolfris", this means, cleaning rads on Coolfris's way, and to be honest, this works UBER :cheerleader:

That's it, if you want more, you've got to scream :P, but I also have to study a script for a play (last time I'm doing this, it's hanging my b*lls out)

'ntill the next

[alphadog009]

good luck with the play!

[Sadasius]

Thx all,

Update from the 27th of April 2009

Well well well, another update, not 'ntill the end, but prolly I gonna update again this evening, if not, shurely this week
Now time to meet my new stuff in person

To start with, the D-tek Fuzion V2, quite free-flowing and unrestrictive , wich is neccessary if you look to it's possition in the loop

Standard delivered with two 1/2" barbs but they're useless to me, 'cause I'm a 3/8" man :P


So I put those F*ckers of
 

After that I opened the block to look if there wasn't any kind of dirt in it, but I didn't fount anything, a proper block !


For those that might be curious to the base, here it is, but I guess you all knew allready how it looks from the inside
 

Than I putted the block on the P5K Deluxe, 'cause there wasn't anything else I could do with this one xD


Time to met the res (hello buddy :coke
 

Placed the pom-holder while the radiator-setup was running :d

Time to meet swiftech's MCW60-R

added some bling
 

posing with good ol' naked 7900GT


Time to get dressed !, put one ya MCW60-R, ya biaatch :P
 

After mounting those block I've noticed the mess was slightly coming up


I'm liking the looks of the fuzion V2 on the P5K Deluxe ...:2up:


Now this time, I don't end with a overviewshot, but with a detailshot, yeah things can go strange, but those tubes are the first centimeters of tubing I placed :crazyclap:

[Oli4v]

Update 5th of may 2009

Yes yes, almost the lates update for this simple build, but yeah, we had to come to an end for this one ...
So dear kids and grown ups, don't be sad, 'cause I think I've got some more plans for this one (just like with the day 'n nite build ).
Now enough talking, 'cause we ain't at the place where you get your hair cut ... , time to watch some candy !

And becauce I ended last time with a detailshot, I'll start with a tubingless overview :coke:


so, an overview, it was quite late, that's the reason why the camera ain't pointed very well


I also liked this pic

Then I started routing tubing like a mad man, 'cause I planned the loop allreade a week or 2 ago.
It's kinda lookin' like paint with the RED tubes :coke:


 

vertical shot


me nice res : rolleyes:
 

booted and took a pic in the dark


And for those that wonder theirselves about the backside and cablemess, well here you have your little cablecluster


Frontside, but be attentive, the eagleeye will have noticed a CHANGE !


If you don't see it now, I think you're gonna need glasses ...
 

Backside ...


Indeed, CHANGE has come (like Obama says), black killcoils, with RED light, this is a deadly SEXAAAY combo :coke:
 

My pump, on it's homemadebracket (don't look to much at the cables, maybe I'll find something with mesh or something ...


Pump in full action !
 

A busted foto, 'cause when i was watching this I was thinkin', hey, wtf, since when do I have SLI'ed 7900GT's ? :coke:


Now this is the reason why it's called RED Light District
 

I also liked this pic

So that's it, this week I get a replacement for the bad BP's and a EK multioption resbuttom, after this, it's gonna be silent around this one ...
got also some exames comming up in June, so time to start study imho ...

[chiguy]

What are you still using a floppy for by the way?

[Oli4v]

What are you still using a floppy for by the way?

good question ...
even don't know it myself, but I like it, can be handy ...

[Oli4v]

Update 5th of may 2009 kind a while ago :P:

So this week I recieved another package from Eddy, so I builded it in, in about 30 mins excl taking pics xD
It were the real BP compressions and some small things I needed

But now, enough of talking, time for soms **BLING**


Teh box .


Teh shizzle
 

EK Multioption Reservoir botom, I really needed it, 'cause it wasn't easy bleeding like it was, this bleeds like a mad man and ofcourse some BP- BLING


Actually it had been allready Red Light District for a long time, you see, red lights :coke:


Find the tubing ! (wacht closely)


D-tek Fuzion V2, lovely lookin', and swinging tubing, me likey


Overview, 'cause you guys are used to ged these from time to time from me


Got the flash with me to help me
 

Pump, Again in FULL action, with teh BP-bings and a bit feser bling, check also the BP antitwist adapter, real handy


Red tubes, red-pinky satakables, fits nice, satakables are like swinging a bit to there connector on the mobo :coke:


light/dark contrast ...


Ending with a nice shot, if you want MOAR pic's, just scream for some, than I'll take some

[Oli4v]

Update from the 13th of June 2009 wich isn't that long ago

wihoew, time to translate from Dutch to english ^^

Soso, today another update and that in the middle of the exams, Yes it is possible, there has come some change to this build, and worth an update !
There came a new toy in, an HD3870 512 with an accelero S1 rev2, mounted the MCW60-r from 7900gt to this one


Attention, naked hardware next to the Day 'n Nite build with my nephew's HD3870 on it (yeah day 'n nite fell apart)


waterblock mounted
 

Preparing Thermochill PA120.3, with just 2 fans, should be more than enough for this and I was to lazy to get my dvd burner out to squeeze the rad in :P


So what did I do, emptied The RDS build


emptied a bit …


Prepared the Thermochill PA120.2 to go soon in the Day 'n Nite build
 

After some twisting in my mind (wanted nice cputemps, nice lookin' loop ...) I came to the next loop: Res=>Pomp=>GPU=>PA120.3=>CPU=>Res=>…

Switching over to totalshots?


MCW60-R@Club3d HD3870 512mb


D-tek Fuzion V2 in the view (pic is a bit crappy, but hey don't be sad^^ !
 

from another view xD.


same but with a flash …


from downstairs but positioned wrong ^^.
 

Last, but not least, …

That was it, maybe some plans to put nb and sb@MCW30 and mosfets@thermalright ...

Day 'n Nite will also soon be updated

[GregSG]

Nicely done btw...


What fans are those?

[shazza]

Your loops are looking great. Do you have any pics at night taken from a distance so we can see the red glow?

[Oli4v]

@GregSG, Some kind of Xilence Fance, 8 wings, theyre doin' their job quite well
It are those fans, click it ^^

Your loops are looking great. Do you have any pics at night taken from a distance so we can see the red glow?

Thx Shazza, I'll take some tonight when it's dark enough , But I Did take them if I remember rightly, but almost all of them were f*cked up, and didn't took new ones 'cause I'm very busy with the Day 'n Nite Build atm
