Project Echo.

[iHannes]

Hi XS!

I thought I let you in on my second project. The last one, CL[M]EAN-MACHINE did receive quite the attention and I'll hope this new build won't let you down.



This project is:

• ITX
• Watercooled on MB, CPU and GPU with EkWb, and cooled by 2x120 and 1x120 EkWb radiators with Enermax Fans.
• Fractal-Design Array Rev 2
• Intel i5 750
• ATI HD5870
• DFI MI P55-T36
• MDPC-X Sleeved PSU
• ORANGE ´n` BLACK themed!

I'll receive the case in late June or early July from Fractal-Design who's kind enough to sponsor with the Fracta-Design Array Rev 2 and a SFF PSU. I'll put the case through some modding to make it fit for an highend gaming system with top notch DX11 graphichs and a powerfull 4xCore CPU. EkWb have sponsored this build with a full watercoolingsystem to cool these beasts.

As of now, I'm receiving hardware from all over the place, and I've only taken pictures of the EkWb watercooling. I'll give you some tasty updates in next week.

This build is going to be real fun to do! I hope you'll enjoy the buildlog atleast half as much as I'll enjoy building it. I've probably forgotten to write something, so please ask if I'm unclear on some point.

So, This build is going to be smal, powerful, and cool. I hope I have the skills to make it true.

This is my previous build:

Haha, the sponsor part is supposed to be a joke... like asking for 3 internets.

Haha, I did understand that it was a joke, or at least not a serious request. But.. I can haz cheeseburger? I mean, only because I'm a teacher, doesn't mean I'm totally left out of the loop.

Of course you'll have something nice to look at. Until then, some taste of what to come.

It seems very interesting and I really love Ek products and the case you use it's not very used for many people into watercooling, that makes it so original.

Keep on working i want MOAR!

Nice photography skills

Thanks! It's quite hard to really make the braid justice with a camera. I think I've managed somewhat.

I can't wait either. Still waiting for the case to arrive. But It's due to be released in early July, so I'm happy to receive it before everyone else. :P

Nice Pick mate

Thanks matey! I'm trying. :P

Oh wow, this one should be nice.

I <3 ITX. Please update and post as many pics as possible. I'll be following!

I'll be looking forward to see what the case you use looks like.

Btw, with DFI going out of business, how do you feel about using that board? I'm VERY interested.

I certainly hope so.

I'm trying to.

I'll receive it in late june, early July, both you and me are eager to see how it looks like.

I couldn't care less actually. This is my first DFI component and it seems to be really nice. If it breaks then it's tough luck I guess. ^^,

[ScottALot]

There's probably more PCB on the GPU than the motherboard haha

[InCredible]

very nice..does look a little odd with the video card being so big..but still looks great overall.
