High-Res! Update April 22nd, Rad fitting.

[Brad8988]

Continued...


As the whole of the front of the case is been taken up by my rad im having to re located the hdds. OS drive will sit here with the storage one above it.

Fingerprints anyone?

This is the start of the roof. Im using 8mm clear as a base for the res and to allow a view down into the case.

Cut to a rough size i marked the front ready for cutting.






Roughly cut with a 4" grinder and filed down alittle. For the final build i will flame polish the edges so it looks like glass.













Thats it for today

huh, I never realized this is a p60 good stuff and a great idea about the res needs moar flame polishing on the sides of the acrylic!

[Brad8988]

Thanks dude and iv not done any polishing yet. Will do that after paint i think

[Brad8988]

Update 12th August.

New ram fitted. Looks alot better than the last stuff and clocked straight to 2000mhz on stock voltage. Not sure if its stable yet though

[Brad8988]

Sorry mate i had to return that block as i need the new rev2 block which is waiting at chilledpc for me.

[Brad8988]

Will do prolly when ever i get it

[retrogamer1990]

you gonna overclock that chicken? stock they run about 5,000 PPD (pecks per day) but I got mine to 5,500 :p

Update 26th August.


Well i made a mock up res again to test if this way will actually work when filled with water. Using 2mm clear acrylic all around for the mock up i got some silicon. I saw this and well it said xtreme so I had to buy it





Anyway this was the end result. (upside down).





Now to test if this will hold water its time for a basic leak test. Straight water wouldnt have shown leaks too well so Robinson's to the rescue.








Adding alittle at time all seemed ok.

















Soo no leaks and im pretty happy that if i do it alittle better with the plexi it should stay nice and strong. Iv gotta cut 3 holes into it for the fillport and inlet/outlet but may send it to Tom to be cut on CNC as i can see it breaking with a drill bit.

[Brad8988]

Had a delivery today. Thanks to Duniek and Tom and ChilledPC for sponsoring my build and sorting this for me Best things in life are free.

Looks awesome so far. I had a similar idea for a res in the roof for a future build. I guess you beat me to it! Quick question: what do you use to cut the acrylic?

Sorry for OT but I am trying to learn more about working with acrylic. What do you mean by flame polishing?

I used a 4" grinder with 1mm metal cutting disc and as for flame polishing just enter it into youtube and all will be explained.

[rjkoneill]

this is great stuff - managed to track your log down off the ocuk forums

[can see why you cant post this there]

folllowing this closley!!!

[Brad8988]

Yah lol. Shame as i think a fair few peeps would like to read it but rules are rules.

[bentleya]

Duniek has done a great job on the block top, and i'm sure it will look fantastic when it;s all finished.

[aka_GK]

any updates?

[Detale]

Amazing work man. Can't wait to see more.

[Raiden]

Nice modding at the Gtz , who did it?
Realy a master´s work congrats on the sponsoring , wish i had one also

[kgtiger]

Have just read through you work log, looks really good, this will be the first res like this that I have seen, onto and outside of the case.
Have you thought about using Solvent cement to join the perspex with, as the solvent melts the perspex together it makes an exceptionally strong and water tight join.
Providing all edges are a close fit and solvent cement is applied to all edges.
Worth a look.

Looking forward to your next update.

[TMWH]

Looks awesome so far! Make me wanna build a project like that aswell

[Brad8988]

Duniek sponsored me with the plexi top with ChilledPC doing the plating. Both did a amazing job.

Can you link me to some decent stuff? Im thinking of using 3mm plexi instead and some better glue.

Happy i could inspire you

Your res idea is amazing!

The white Enermax fans with the TC shroud is a really nice contrast, it makes everything pop.

[callen_1]

Love the res design. I'm doing one similar but top of the res is routed so when
mounted inside the case it sits flush with the outside, however mine's just
square and boring unlike yours
