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

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

Sorry for such a late post as far as the back of Flow goes, my account just got verified after like a 3 week wait...

I absolutely love your work. That is one beautiful pc and I am left speechless by it.

1. As far as the backside goes, with the space available to you, your wire management is very impressive.

2. You were also hard pressed for time to get it done before the LAN

3. Regardless of what you ever do, somebody's always not going to like it. lol

I wish I had the skill and commitment to be able to pull off the art that you create with pcs.

Thanks for your commitment and willingness to share your incredible talent.

Thankyou for your kind words in appreciation of the build, I am sorry to say the negative words about the wiring got the better of me but everything is better now, besides my bank account that is .

glad things are coming out good with the new PSU sniipe. I am also planning on replacing my PCP&C 860W for something equivalent from Corsair. I want to because the Corsairs have that cable management thing where you can disconnect the cables you are not using. Thats a plus as right now my biggest issue with the backside of my case was hiding the excess wire bundle.

If you can post a pic of the inside of the PSU that'll be great sniipe

as you wish here are the internal pics -

I must say it is hard to present how much cleaner the corsair is with a 2d picture, but everything is much much cleaner inside the corsair it was a holy crap moment for me.




Here is the hx850 finished

I've been using a modular enermax ps for a while and I have to say, i'll never go back to another ps with all the cables attached. the ability to remove extra cables is soooo nice.

edit: any chances on getting a background of Flow as a whole???

Indeed, backgrounds will be available - I am setting up a grey background tomorrow (or later today rather) and we will really be getting down to it with the final photgraphs of the build! wallpapers will follow

Hey sniipe, sorry to hijack your thread but I have a question I'm hoping you can help me with. Every now and then my new PC is emitting a beeping. Three short beeps, and it happens all the time but not regularly and I can't seem to make it happen by doing anything in particular. It usually does it on startup, but sometimes just randomly when it is sitting there doing nothing. I have the same motherboard as yours, I have unlocked a Phenom II X2 to four cores, but nothing is overclocked. 4gb 1600mhz ram running at 1333 right now I'm pretty sure, one 4890... One bluray drive and 5 hard drives, (4x 808gb GP drives in Raid 5 and a system drive which is 160gb). It is all running off a 500w Seasonic M12 PSU. You reckon the PSU is having a cry coz it isn't big enough, and beeping when the power draw is peaking or something? Coz I really don't think there is anything wrong with anything else, it all seems to be running fine. Three short beeps from the motherboard apparently means base 64k ram failure, but i'm sure my ram is all fine! Linx tested 20 passes without a problem... You (or anyone else) got any suggestions?

The amount of detail you did is amazing

Thanks for the pics sniipe, really appreciate it It does indeed look pretty clean, a lot cleaner than my TT 650W I had before. I didn't do any modding to it, I had just opened it to get rid of some dust that was inside.

Really like the sleeving and having the ability to remove un used cables is awesome!! I think I might be getting one sooner than I thought

Watching sniipes project logs are great, hard to see work like his, you'll enjoy your stay here

SNiiPE, I still think there is some sort of resistance feedback circuit on that Enermax. Shortening the wires will offer less resistance and the PSU will think there is a problem and shut down to protect itself. When you get some free time, could you possibly repair the Enermax wire to stock length and check it out for me, I'm really curious.

New PSU looks great bud, keep up the good work.

thats pretty interesting. WOW. I would also be interested in sniipe putting the wires back to length and see if that cures the problem. I wonder how many people have dumped those PSU's after sleeving thinking they are bad when possibly the above statement can be the problem.

Dude. wow. You can build a gothic cathedral of computing goodness

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

well, somewhere along the way my motherboard got taken out.... and one of my pumps is dead -_- all I have to say is me sideways with a lunchbox for listening to you ing wire whores cuz now I am out of $500 over this bull and I am completely f-ed

[Liderc]

Thanks for the laugh Snipe, sorry to hear about the lost hardware, but that was a hilarious post=P

Damn I hate when falls apart at the last minute.

FU RL.

Hang in there, Ian. You'll sort it out. Other than the PSU, I would think other stuff can be RMA'd if it's truly fubarred. It's excruciating when hardware fails (or, in my case - when I kill it), but the pain passes and you move on. Good Luck.

"Wire Whore" ... I kinda like that, maybe I'll make that my user title

QFT.

my first amd system died for 3 weeks. i get my intel stuff. i figure i should try getting the amd system working again. first try it booted up and went into windows. i about myself.

[sniperbob]

I am sorry for your loss S_D... seems like this build is turning into a "funeral home" thread. Hopefully you get everything sorted out and I agree with Shazza, see if you can't try to RMA some stuff :/

[dreamaxx]

Sniipe you have no idea how much I am empathizing with you right now. Pegasus, my lovely, my gorgeous, my incredibly overbudget PC... Is no more :'( Can't even describe how disappointed I am and heartbroken, angry, pissed off, frustrated, disillusioned etc. etc. I am right now. I FEEL FOR YOU MATE I REALLY DO!

Join the FML group with me please.

[Chicken Patty]

dang sniipe! but what could have probably caused the board to go out? Anyhow good luck man, I really hope you can sort it out soon. I think you can RMA the board at least.

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

got the last gd70 @ microcenter and with the rebate they gave me and the newgg pricematch it came out to only $160 LOL (down from $230 on the pricetag at the store) also I got a new ddc3.2 because microcenter is really expanding its watercooling catalog, incredible really, I saw ek fc4890 blocks and feser radiators there this time, watercooling is really hitting mainstream if they are expanding their stock like that

wow, thats great news. I wish I lived close to a microcenter

Glad you got the board and new pump too!

[Quixylvre]

don't they sell Bawls @ microcenter?

[millertime359]

Thought so.

SD,

Microcenter will price match Newegg?

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

indeed, they will pricematch pretty much anywhere, I saw a long list of etailers and retailers on their cash register when they entered the pricematch menu.

I guess I could of asked. I just figured they wouldn't. I will have to keep that in mind then

Damn shame about the electrical malfunction. Still and all you've had a great run at it with top notch results in the eyeball candy department.

[perkam]

It's a sign from heaven that you should have used clamps !!!:



Sorry to hear about the hw. Hope you get it running again soon
