It's a rad from Watercool.de


Yes, this is the Praetorian predcessor and the Mobo tray is from a Praetorian 732 -> two 80mm fans

It fits!?

[Anarchy]

It fits!?

The chassis is pretty much identical so it fit's perfectly

All the coolermaster mobo trays of the 111, 2**, Wavermaster and Praetorian Series should be interchangable ( except the very first designs without screw-mobo-stanoffs )

[cyberspyder]

Sweet! Nice observation. BTW it's 2X 92mm fans.

No.

Hes pulling the water out of his res, through his Storm and then through his GPU block. His loop is operating under a vacuum of sorts, not positive pressure like it "should" be.

If that is the case, then it is bad. It looked like he was using a D5? [EDIT: nevermind, its a 655, not a 355. i was unaware of the way that pump operates] Mine (with Petras top) pulls from the top and shoots out from the side....

If that is the case, though, then I am wrong and I admit it. :o

isnt that a bit loud, though, even with yates??

No, no, NO.

I have 10+ Coolermaster cases here (ATCS Chassis) and NONE of em uses 92mm fans All except the Praetorian 730/732 (120mm intake) have 80mm fans.

That rig isn't exactly silent and the fans run with only 5V - so the fans aren't louder than the other parts.

[jaguarking11]

that thing looks like a condenser style rad. Does it have pipes around the corners? Do you have any pics of corners?

EDIT: just took a look at Watercool.de. Typical German rad it is. Condenser all the way. I would have loved if there was a heater core style rad that big in full copper.

[Spawne32]

Omg That Case Is Badassssss!

[ziddey]

jesus christ anarchy that's insane . Have you looked into a larger fan with a shroud? Hell for something that size, you might be able to look for car radiator fan+shroud units to put on. Then again, the fan would probably eat lots of amps, although it would run at 12v. It'd be hella loud though, I'd guess. Maybe with a rheobus or something to it, it'd tame it down to some really low rpm, be pretty inaudible, and still push lots of air, compared to 9 yates at 5v

[scream]

this is my system... =) its really simple!

[bundymania]

some pics of my 2nd sys. :

[scream]

Leak Testing


Running

I still need to install the lights and run the fan wires the right way. Then finish up the cable management and she will be ready to go.

James,

Beautiful. Just beautiful! One point deducted for not having SLI and using onboard sound

James,

I am not finished yet. SLI - probably not. N needs to get some good drives out. I am having a lot of 3d graphic issues with one card. ONBOARD SOUND - Just long enough for me to get this system running great and then I will install my sound card.

[scream]

Nice speakers and rig! I was thinking of picking up a pair for my X-Fi from newegg. How do they sound?

Brendan

this pair sounds pretty decent... nice punchy bass.. pretty clear highs...

but do upgrade your cables.. the stock cables don't do any justice...

Thanks for the heads-up BTW, I see you're using Monster Cable. Which one do you recommend? I don't want $600 worth of cabels, and am not an audiophile. I don't want to spen that much $$$.

James,

I like it that you inverted the front panel. Looks better and works better that way, I think.

How are the HDD carriers like? I have never seen the bottom bay of a Horizon. I know you installed a dual rad at the back, as I expected, but where do you mount the HDDs ?

[WildEye]

The front is like that on the horizon. I'm also very interested in seeing the inside/bottom layout of the Horizon.

im using Monster Navajo White cables.. chould cost US$20+ i think..

Here are some pics of the HDD mounts:




They mount with the 120mm fan. They can be used vertical or horizontal.

[IanY]

Thanks James,

Its no different that any other UFO case. For the Optimax 1203 that I have, it came with a 9 bay HDD carrier that's more inflexible. I switched to the adapters that you have.

What is that device where the two MCRES reservoirs are sitting on ?

It is the bracket that supports the MB tray.
