Project: PEGASUS - 56k very unfriendly

[Devil_Dog]

Wow!!!!

Very nice!

[bianco]

nice work... and nice touch on that paintjob, truly unique
are you going to do anything special with that corsair logo in the hx1000 though?

[dreamaxx]

Wasn't planning on. Why do you have any ideas?

haha. not really... just thought you'd go down to that detail.
not sure if it can just be peeled off easily. if it is possible without voiding warranty, probably you can replace it with a star or profile of the pegasus.

[dreamaxx]

Yeh could do, although I quite like the logo I don't mind leaving logos on some things. Not sure what is behind it either. I've taken all the stickers off my fans and they look really nice tbh. Well here's hoping everything goes smoothly tomorrow. It's my first time setting up watercooling, but luckily dingdong555 is coming down to give me a hand I've asked him to be gentle with me

[D0BR0]

Awesome your paint on the rads and PSU!! A bit "extravagant" for me, but looks very impressive. We see the quality of the work!

[dreamaxx]

Yeh it is quite extravagant, but when everything is together you won't be able to see too much of the paintjob. Should still stay tasteful!

[GregSG]

Nice...finally got ur build up!

=P

[dingdong555]

I went to Nat's yesterday and helped her mount all the blocks, it looks amazing!

Now she's on her own :P She has to put the midplate on, mount some fans and fill er' up

[dreamaxx]

!!!!

I'm scared Just gotta fix a little booboo i made working out cable lengths (and i had made them SO LONG as well dammit, just not long enough). Then should be able to put it all together and fill up! Goddam I hope everything is working!

[skinnee]

eagerly waiting the final presentation!!!

Don't be afraid! You'll do fine - and good on James for giving you a hand.

[dreamaxx]

Fixed the booboo.

Just waiting on a friend of mine to come over so we can set both of our systems up for the first time together! He had an exam today so will be over a little later.

Will keep you all updated. Meanwhile I have been working on cable management. :O After so much planning and preparation I can't believe it is really coming to an end now!

Yeh, James was a superstar, thanks so much for coming down mate

[Dangals]

... After so much planning and preparation I can't believe it is really coming to an end now!

That is what I thought after my first loop was done....trust me when I say that as soon as you "think" you are finished you are going to either want to do a new one or you will find something in the build that requires you to rip it all apart and start again

This is "hobby" of ours is incredibly addictive....

Like Skinnee said - eagerly awaiting some pics of the finished goods - bring them on

Hi I just pulled apart my pc. I built it in October 08 and I have a cat who is in my room all the time. I'll post pictures of the fur in a few mins. Since cleaning it, my temps have dropped by 8 degrees.

[dreamaxx]

Haha yeh my cat sits on my PC all the time too, dropping hairs into it. And claws too actually haha.

I am as of now bleeding the loop! :O Weird thing though, I'm so confused by it, wondering if the fan controller is the problem. The two 92mm fans I have, they have separate LED and power wires, which I sleeved separately. The LEDs light up fine, they're plugged into the Sunbeam multi fan port, so they're just getting full 12v. The fans themselves though, they're plugged into the Vantec fan controller which is supposedly varying voltage. But for some reason they are just going full speed no matter what. And I KNOW they're plugged in, if I unplug them they turn off, so they're not getting power from anywhere else. Tried plugging them into a different socket, same deal. But the other fan that is plugged into the fan controller is fine, can turn it off or have it full speed and anywhere in between. WTF? Has anyone had this problem before? And my scythe fan controller's LCD screen isn't working boohoo Any ideas what I can try to get it working again?

[MomijiTMO]

Sounds like it's got a power line [molex] and a rpm line [blue cable only].

Dunno about the fan controller, I just have one with knobs =D.

[dreamaxx]

I'm wondering if I might have accidently switched the red and yellow cables around.

[MomijiTMO]

Red in the middle.

[I34z1k]

Looking really nice!

Can I get more details of the little plexit top window you made? I.e how it fits in?

[dreamaxx]

OMFG, filled, leak tested, now turned on and installing windows! Woo!

Looks really pretty My boyfriend took some film, will make a video for me as photos don't do the colours justice.

WRT Acrylic top panel, I basically measured the gap, designed the stars, sent them to a laser cutting place, told them that i needed a frame which was slightly smaller internal diameter than the stars, but 2cm wide, and they gave me that I was lucky my measurements were pretty accurate coz it fits in just perfectly (quite tight fit).

[I34z1k]

So I guess you joined those two pieces and just screwed it on?


Anxious to see

[shazza]

Not sure on the LED Fan / Vantec issue. But, my concern with the Scythe display is that it may be kaput. Apparently, the displays are very sensitive to any type of voltage fluctuations. Hopefully that's not the case - but apparently that's how I fried the display on my aquaero (had it plugged into the same line as my CCFLs - not a good thing, apparently).

Looking forward to pics/video.

[dreamaxx]

Oh, my scythe is plugged into the same daisy chain of horrible ugly molex connectors as the Vantec fan controller, and off that everything else. Is it a good idea to run the pump off its own molex?

[MomijiTMO]

Doesn't matter.

Good luckers with the fan controller. It might need some bashing with a cricket bat. That's how I once convinced a fan of mine to work.
