NaeKuh makes cardboard look like pro equipment

here's the name for your box filter: ほこりの王女 (hokorino oujo)

that box is like shotting missles at dust...

I want this as my avatar:


LOL... I think its a nice representation of my budget being shot down, and the calibur of the machine.

LOL (I can't remember the last time I watched that anime... hmm... anime night coming on me thinks)

how would you rate that koolance res? your using the 355's right? i only use D5's since ive had too many 355's die on me. the res just seems like a great solution for 2 loops with minimal space in the case for pumps and res's.. i know earlier in your thread you said you kind of had a hard time bleeding the air out but you got that figured out.

close to pulling the trigger on one but $130 is quite a bit for a res.

if it weren't for the file data size restrictions, this'd be just fine (about 120k)


but the 32k restriction makes it come out more like


maybe they'd be able to make an exception for such a cool avatar

there nice and blingy..

however if your used to tube res's its a new experience...
So i hope u have patience.. and a T fitting so u can drop a T line. :P

some updates:

under Vapors advice i got a rheobus PWM to control my fans though bios.


Its great... love the thing... i love how i can hear my san aces roar when i start a game.. and then they quiet down as i come out.

Realized at this point in the build... every last part i add, is like playing a game of tetris...
LOL... had to move the scythe temp panel to where the old rheobus was, and move the small guy to the side:


Side completely finished: (well waiting for more thumb screws)


Top View: (i love how my case almost level's with my desk!)


DAMMIT i cant keep the dust off b4 i complete.... SAVE ME!

OH i want a HUD on that acrylic.. so my temps from the scythe can be shot up at that acrylic.... Is it even possible to do this?

Anyhow wednesday my decifilters arrive, as well as some more cables so i can clean up the internals.
Also 5 new fans for me to completely replace my lower bay's fans with.

I got enermax's with removable fans for easy cleaning.. although.... i dont know how im gonna remove the ones in pull.

lol dam those filters sure do attract some dust! Dont worry i live in a dusty environment and it kills me because i want a full clean sexy build!

lol...

you'd think a system which is tri loop, 6 pumps, on that much hardware, would not have a simple issue like dust formation..


LOL... i swear... i dont think i can ever beat dust... its not within my diety powers yet.

[Church]

I wonder if paint finish type of MM cases might have something to do with hard to fully clean off dust from Naekuh's case. I doubt he didn't try hard enough to clean/wash/whatever.
Naekuh: you can always take black & white pics or photochop a bit to hide those nasties

[Utnorris]

LOL @ the "Top View: (i love how my case almost level's with my desk!) ". Wait till I start my build log this week Naekuh. It's my UF2O on top of my Ascension case, . I had them laying around and I said "What the heck, why not?". Almost 44" tall. Anyway, still won't be as an epic build as this, but it's a start. Love the setup you have, although you do have a dust problem. If I didn't know better I would say your desk was in the middle of the dessert.

[penguins]

A catastrophe of efficiency. sure it isn't something 'pretty'

It's Pretty Amazing. : ) To some this is beauty. and to bling it out completely would be Madly expensive haha. this is already A Crazy amount of fittings / tubes / blocks / rads.

I remember when my vision of beauty was a micro ATX case flat black and a koolance with deltas on top.

Why can't this be an absolute gem? : )

[RCG_Bex]

ROFLMAO - you got some serious ballz to dis to Naekuh master!!!

Everyone see's bling / pr0n in different ways. It's like women with men... some like tall, muscled up, hot looking blokes who should be in magazines but who are a bit crap when it comes to getting things done. Others prefer cuddly guys (waist line n' all) who just melt you heart and get things done with no quibles and go that extra mile without you even asking.

For me, I prefer the latter, and if when they do get dressed up, then yeah, it'll blow the competition out of the water in my opinion!

Anyway - looking good Neakuh - but I agree with others and suspect MM case paint does something wierd... I always think MM's look dusty uness they're brand spanking new out the box

[NaeKuh]

Guys the reason why i havent changed my filters once again is because i got the Decim filters coming to swap out everything in the front.

2 x 120x3 filter versions + 1 x 120 for the lower right side.

I didnt sleeve yet, because once again, all my fans are coming pre sleeved, so i didnt want to sleeve fans which i wont be using anymore after i get the new ones.

Also, i figured i would probably somehow shove 2-3 more fan controllers inside somewhere, and cant sleeve until i finalize where the heck its going to go.

As for the top compartment and painting... i honestly didnt see myself using this pedistool this long.

I bought the pedistool from norris, if i recall correctly.
Originally it was going to be a temp station for my TEC's.

Im sure you guys remember this:


However power draws and requirements (lack of a powerful pwm controller to handle those tecs)...
and having all my friends including skinnee tell me its not worth the power, i decided to drop that.

That top pedistool became just purely a wind station after that.

Anyhow i dont know how much longer i want to keep this case.
I want a Hori or a Raven style now... and im tired of double wide cases....

:\

oh u guys are gonna ask for more pics on the TEC's huh?




our very own XIP made them for me, and it ended up retiring him from building.. lol...

[Alexandr0s]

I think a hori would work great for you NaeKuh. If planned correctly, it could even provide some extra accessibility compared to your current case.

[NaeKuh]

i would love a hori, however i am really really getting tired of double wide cases.

Which is why i want a Raven style or a TJ style where the video cards hang down.

:\

I think that would be a really interesting build.

[Vinas]

Haven't seen that TEC chiller in a while

[NaeKuh]

Haven't seen that TEC chiller in a while

meh wish i could put it to use tho...

Too much power... has good cooling potential...

But too much risk of condensation + once again.. too much power...

Meh... high powered PWM unit could fix it... since tec's can pulse... but do i really want to add more power?

[Alexandr0s]

NaeKuh, I'm sure this has been suggested numerous times, but why not switch to phase change? Or does the condensation and other stuff worry you?

[Church]

NaeKuh: too much power used? Your case is big enough to install auxiliary power diesel generator in it
(with fan controller autmatically starting it, when you game, to cool TECs on GPUs )

BTW, i don't like much window & fan holes on top of case. Seeing case being in level with table i automatically would have wanted to use case top for storing/piling things, as extra table surface. With fans in it it's not that great for that.

[ohms]

How would you fit all of that inside of a Raven or TJ style case? I mean even if you get the TJ-11 it would be cramped with all of that inside unless you plan on minimizing your loop or using secondary case just for your WC stuff.

I've actually been thinking about ditching my FT-02 which I'm using for my current build and getting the XSPC cube, but i've been on the fence about it because of the size so I definitely know how you feel about the double width.

[Johnny87au]

hey naekuh what were your temps with the TEC? ALso if you ever decide to sell the case let me know.. im having a hard time finding a case which can fit 2x 560s..

[RCG_Bex]

Lol Naekuh, if I run it through 5x radiators will it bring the temp up enough to to condensate too much? I'm sure it'd have a good loving home in my Xtreme Dream PC

[barfastic]

i would love a hori

whats a hori???

[Alexandr0s]

whats a hori???

A MM case with a horizontally mounted motherboard .

[NaeKuh]

MMMM.... so i played around with my system today.

First off, Vapor made me commit serveral hours to change my fans... LOL...

In order for me to change my fans tho, i had to retap the PA.

So i took out my tapping kit:


LOL i have M4, 6-32, 8-32

Typically i mostly use the 6-32, unless i need a longer screw which is very difficult to find in 6-32.
Then i step up to 8-32. The PA is tap'd 8-32.
I have yet to use the M4.

Reinstalled San Aces up front:


Now i have 6 san aces on the pwm rheobus. You can see the DeciM filters.
And i can not use normal fan screws up front either, so im gonna think of how to go about that.

My system sounds halarious.. noise wise... as i game.. the fans rev up... and i go on idle mode.. its pretty quiet..
But here is a sample of what i mean:

more to come later as i get bored and do more work on it.

Im still lost in how to manage all those wires... :\


Lastly guys for the DECIM filters.. DO NOT GET THE 120x1 unless ur covering up a 92mm hole.
GO UP 1 SIZE for single options.

For the rad customized sizes... the 120x3 is large enough for a wide spaced old PA, which is shown on both the top and bottom chambers.

So it should fit any 120x3 radiator.
