Continuing Madness

[theseeker]

I did not get much time today, but I did mount the rads, and it was not as easy as Charles makes it look! Who knew?
Well you can see the bottom is getting really crowded.







Tomorrow should be much more fun. I am looking forward to finalizing the tubing in the bottom, attaching the midplate and the rest of the tubing to the blocks.

hmm, Cant you move that single rad over a bit and mount the pump on the right? Maby a bracket with the pump mounted on its side?

Maybe, if I had the patience, I am an amateur, not a pro. Not to mention that the space down below is limited.
The bottom of this case looks like Swiss Cheese! This is the last rodeo with this TJ.

Things get pretty tight for room down there real quick, this may be an option but it may just open a whole new can of worms for you.

Interesting and very nice pics. So you are going with pull on your fans? And two 90's out of the big Rad? You will need those two pumps!
Very clean setup!
Thanks for looking in.

Thx, yep going with pulls throughout on the rads, as for the 90's I couldn't use 45's, no room- damn PSU gets in the way. Like what your doin with your build man, keep it up!

[theseeker]

Just a teaser..........






More on Friday.

[arkadur]

sweet,
i like the RAM block.
what have you done with the rads?

[theseeker]

@ arkadur, they are in the bottom.

Just about ready to fill er up.



I picked up two of these....



Nice effect I think















I have to add the flow meter, tidy up the cables and fill it up for the leak test.
Thanks for looking in.

Like the pix... the 580 backplates look great, those are the nickel plated aluminum ones right?

The sleeving is red, white, and black- the tubing is white and black- let me guess, the coolant will be "red".

So what did you do down below? we want to see the basement

[pcaddict]

Looking good Btw, Why dont any one put 2x 120.4 rads in the bottom section and psu in to the 5.25" section? Like this:

sry for my english >:

Yes, they are nickel and I will be using some red mayhem dye.

That would be very difficult with my setup and its too late.

The basement is really crowded.....



It is a really tight fit.

The extra rad is making things difficult. I am thinking of taking it out to allow for better airflow in the bottom. I don't think a single 120 is going to make that much difference overall.

[theseeker]

I am thinking of locating the Aqua flow meter here...



This should be the lowest flow point in the loop, I think

I meant to post this in my previous post. Yep, many cables and not much room. However, they all fit and the side panel does too!



This is the build I am working on for Nils....



Who knows what is next?

[Johnny87au]

looking great mate! not a big fan of those crystal SLI tubes though, looks kinda out of place = /

Agreed. I am still in favor of old school hose/barbs between sli GPUs.

[dunway]

OK I'll bite... what is that thing your working on for Nils?

I am still on the fence with the crystals too.

It is a 1/6 scale Tiger tank and I was just kidding about Nils. However, he may want one!

I am tearing everything down today. There are a few things I don't like so it is back to the drawing board.

UPDATE:

Continuing Madness will be discontinued. I never really liked this build so the MB, CPU and Ram will be listed in the FS forum tomorrow.

The next build, soon to follow, will be complete insanity!

Stay tuned.

Mature choice, it was looking a little odd.

[lowfat]

What case are you going to be using w/ the SR-2? There isn't a whole lot of choices out there. Well not good ones anyways.

Well, I am 50! However, I can still drive 200 mph so I am good in my book.

That would be a custom case...PM's Spotswood
