[Project] :::Flow::: (SNiiPE's V2110) - Resurrected

[pingpong1455]

ah yes, I read it on my phone then never replied, getting on that - BTW there is a tj07 at work I can steal measurements off of if need be, we'll talk soon

alrighty just wanted to make shure you got it hehe finally my build can slowly and i mean SLOWLY creek to a start

just please dont tell me the lan is in Massachusetts cause i have an aunt with a house there just no rig haha unless a laptop counts

K, so the PSU is sleeved, but in my haste I forgot to mark the wires, so the end heatshrink has to come off one at a time tomorrow so I can plug the 24-pin together correctly - once that is done I get to embark on the hardest wiring task of this build which might actually take me a few days to get right

[Jah]

Less talk and more pretty pictures looking forward to an update

And the famous last words,
This wont take that long

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

lol, so if every time I referred to this project, I referred to it as project what would you guys do?

(yes I am very bored at work)

[salty_pepperpot]

Holey Moley! Seriously looking forward to seeing this build in all its glory

How long have you been doing this kinda thing? -if ya dont mind me asking

Thanks man

My first mod was a painted gamecube console, Red casing with black accents I thin painted an Xbox case, and I also bought a crystal edition xbox in france in 2005 and installed a 80mm cold cathode around the xbox logo Jewel

If you count from the beginning of my LC endeavours - back in 2006 I had an Optie 165 @ 3ghz under a thermaltake bigwater 735, with a real LC system in 2006 based on dangerden parts

Modding Wise, my first aesthetically oriented build was in 2007 with a PC101A. Last fall I said to myself "I am going to get on MDPC" and that was a success with Permafrost by January of this year, and now this project

F that - just do a continuity test. do you have a multimeter??

I do.... I will try that first I already have identified the green wire and a ground for jumping

So I got an email from Lamptron today that my Fan controller is finished and about to ship! here are pictures from My contact at Lamptron



This design is based on the Lamptron FC3 fan controller which can be found at many fine retailers:
http://www.lamptron.com/product.php?p_id=58

The funny thing about this is I made two designs, the first was originally deemed un-manufacturable, but they have got some really Smart engineers and machinists over at Lamptron and they pulled off BOTH faceplate designs!

This is just one example of the extremely high quality milling and manufacturing coming out of Lamptron - Definitely give them a look for your next fan controller

Design 1:









Design 2:










Seriously I cannot thank Lamptron enough for their receptiveness, great communication and most of all the High Quality Custom parts they made for me!

[pingpong1455]

^^ is gorgeous

and it will probably be easier for you to source the measurements

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

PSU Pics: dont mind the cluttered look, I have about 800 P-clips of various sizes to make these wires straight as a ruler and very very hidden

[millertime359]

I thought you weren't sleeving this one?

edit; design 1 looks sick, hope that one your going with

[paul_]

Aw, FREAKING awesome if I do say so myself! I can't wait for my next upgrade so I can do the chop, cut, rebuild routine

EDIT: And what, may I ask, are P-clips?

[Kibbler]

You'll find several behind the motherboard tray of every murderbox so far.

you wont see any of these sleeves in the final product it will all become apparent in due time

thanks paul I think the sleeving sould have come out a touch better, but it will suffice for being hidden behind everything.

indeed they are kinda expensive at the larger sizes actually, but worth the cleanliness

Update:



Hank Baron of Performance PCs was kind enough to sponsor me with this lovely Black Ice GTX 420 radiator; Following is the Unboxing and pictures of this masterful work of a radiator, it may have tight fin spacing but it sure does make the jaw drop.

The Box, nice to see something other than plain old cardboard on the outside


The Radiator Arrived in pristine condition, not a bent fin in sight with all accessories included





The included BP fatboy 1/2" barbs installed


The first fan with its extended wire and counter bored screw holes - I did all six fans on the drill press tonight and the wire extensions for all the fans should be done tomorrow so I will have pics of them all installed.

[STRMX]

just wow the fan controllers are amazing your cabling job is very clean this is going to turn out to be one very amazing computer

[Rise]

those counterbores = win. nice work Ian

[Warbird]

I simply love the Black Ice Rad. I will have one going in my custom case project as well. It is so very special.

Nice PSU, never seen anyone Sleeving quite the way you do, and i mean the Shrink length, not the colour!

[illidan]

and what about those red connectors on psu

[pingpong1455]

psu Sleeving looks great

[Oli4v]

nice sleeving job, but what about the pa140.3 test sample?

I am still getting one in a sponsorship agreement, but it will not be able to make it here from the UK in time for the LAN event, as a result I had to source another radiator.

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

So I got all of the fans sleeved and extended last night- hooked them up on the rad and DAMN push-pull really is all its cracked up to be.

-With just 3 d12sm 12 on this rad I was getting very very low airflow through the radiator - like 15CFM if I had to warrant a guess.

-Now with all six fans there is nearly (very very close) open air CFM flowing through the radiator and nearly NO increased noise level to boot. even at the full 1400rpm these things are damn near silent - each fan on its own is comparable to a 1850rpm GT. Next we will get the lamptron FC in there and really get


Wiring updates tonight, I am half way done with 24-pin

[shazza]

Looks good so far. I like your custom fan controller ... is it working okay (as in no whining when it's turned down from 100%?).
Now hurry up and show us your wiring solution (please ).

I have not received the fan controller yet (not my pictures, lamptron's) it is currently on DHL international express to me

Now hurry up and show us your wiring solution (please ).

Unfortunately I have this thing that I go to during the day from 8-4:30 Monday thru Thursday, I think they call it a yob or something.... anyway, its really obstructing my modding time....
