Besides my sloppiness of my wire organization(hehe). It's about to get more crowded I'm adding two more raptors, they come next week

. I'm still figuring out where to put them.

Fameless, very clean case! Much better organization then mine. very good!

hehehe wait till I am done mine, I will have 5 hdds, two opticals, RD30, G5, 6-7 120s 3 of which will be 38mm, rheobus, pump PSU, regular PSU 120.3 (if I get a new one) or dual 302s (Yes I will make them fit)

On top of that I want to fit SLI set up in there.........."ROOM!, we don't need no Stinken ROOM!"

Are there any advantages to having a bigger reservoir?

thx

. My water "blubbers" in my res. Thats the reason why i will have a bigger one.

Fameless, i am also running a s478 asus board with P4 3.0Ghz OCed 3.2 with dd RBX watercooling, max ddr memory of 2GB, max agp8x card with 7800GS(not the easiest to watercooling with no block available but a radiical's and darn falling mc14s)

Nanometer, that galaxy PSU is a monster sized one, lucky you don't have an iwaki rd30 in there too like what Phelan's planning...

Phelan why not get the 150GB raptors? same performance i think and bigger data space too...

Yeah, no kiddin'. I have a PolorFlo block on my 7800GS. Not what I had wanted to work with, but it gets the job done.

UU no budget really to upgrade the whole rig, waiting on someone to come into my life in a few more weeks...

**el rolio** · 10-26-2006, 08:13 AM

fameless: very nicely done, smart pump mount too. good looks

**Fameless** · 10-26-2006, 09:32 AM

Thanks. I stopped at the hardware store today and picked up some hex screws.

**el rolio** · 10-26-2006, 11:44 AM

yay loks even better! i wish i could do that. matte black grill with the hex heads!

**darcon** · 10-26-2006, 03:23 PM

Can anyone direct me to where I can buy cheap USB 2.0 and Firewire extension cables for the internal headers? The cables right now just barely reach the ports on my motherboard, and I would really like to hide them. I could move the front panel further down below my drives, but I like having it at the top and would rather keep it that way. This is the Blue Special Edition Stacker, by the way. Thanks!

PS - what do I need to use to clean off the fingerprint smudges from the purdy brushed aluminum? A damp towel doesn't seem to do it to well.

**~~septim~~** · 10-26-2006, 03:54 PM

damp? try dry towel

**Mankz_91** · 10-26-2006, 04:20 PM

not sure if i counts....

Danger Den TDX 1/2" (w. LED Holes)
Eddy EK X18
Repack Black UV 5.25" Res.
Laing DDC1 with Alphacool top.
BIX2 with 4 Noise Blocker SX2 fans (Push-Pull)
1/2" ID, 3/4" OD Tubing

it did have a chipset block, but it was a b*tch to plumb, so i got a Zalman passive heatsink instead......

it should be all finished off tommorow...!

**~~septim~~** · 10-26-2006, 08:41 PM

hmm Mankz i would suggest using some high flow fittings instead of those Perfect Seal fittings you have attached to your pump...

well i suppose if you're using 1/2 id tubing you won't really have a problem fitting your tubing on it, but the added lip of the said barb would cause some turbulence thereby reducing some flow. this is why i suggested using High Flow fittings. there are numerous threads in this section explaining the reasoning why perfect seal fittings are not recommended.

**Mankz_91** · 10-27-2006, 01:06 AM

care to explain...????

**Xavior** · 10-27-2006, 01:25 AM

They cause some turbulence, which means you'll have some more flow loss.

Very small and probably unnoticeable though, not worth the trouble if you haven't got High-Flow barbs around. You're using 1/2''ID tubing anyway.

**Mankz_91** · 10-27-2006, 01:55 AM

its ok, ive got some high-flow barbs as well.....

How about using the top inlet instead of the front? It will give you higher flow. (Why go for 3rd party top if not because you want to use top inlet?
Edit: It would even shorten your tubing.

**eXa** · 10-27-2006, 10:58 AM

yeah, dont se the point in doing it like that.

Really clean machine, interresting look at that sli bridge...

**Mankz_91** · 10-27-2006, 11:13 AM

and some more piceeys...

I need to get another blue LED for the TDX as well...

the fans are being restrcted by the front, nd its gonna be cut next week.

**Herr Brun** · 10-27-2006, 11:14 AM

And also, isn't the pump pumping water INTO the res? Or am I misreading the picture? Seems like the tubing coming from the drive bays goes into the inlet, and then from pump to reservoir. That isn't optimal, and I just learned why (new thread in this section :P)

**Mankz_91** · 10-27-2006, 11:23 AM

it goes...

res - pump (top inlet, side outlet) - res - CPU - GPU - res..

the outlet curls round an into the near side of the BIX2

Sorry, you posted after I started writing, I was referring to the guy before you (cl4w) :P

**Mankz_91** · 10-27-2006, 11:45 AM

nope, his is going into his rad at the front.
