[PROJECT] Planet Cracker Ishimura

[Anemic]

Soundtrack: Art Like Destruciton - Pay For My Sins. OR if you'r not in a Death Core mood, Her Bright Skies - Woh ho, woh oh oh (I know)

Ok, so it's time for some uppgrades! Not major ones, but kinda big ; )
I got myself a new case, a CM HAF 932, that I painted black. I also got 3x 1 Tb Samsung disk. And as icing on the cake, two GTX 260 cards.
Not a very Xtreme project really, but I figured I post a couple of pics anyways. I like taking pics ; )



My old project, The Behemoth:

Outside



Inside. I have drilled holes in the backplate for bether wire management but I should have done more of them.



And finally a close up on the waterblock



So on to the new one, a couple of pics of the new painted and sleeved case.

All black and Evijl!



Front panel cabels al sleved. It's not MurderMod quality but it works for little ol me.



The Whole thing again. Note my Studio in the background! A friend and I are recording a metal album right now! Gong to be awsome...



Close up on the front palen cabels.



The two new cards!
Whats up with that frog anyways? Kinda stupid logo, isn't it? Looks ugly to me...





New drives as well. Only two of them but I got the third later.



Updates will come soon!

Smaller photos would be nice, but from what i can see it looks like it has a lot of potential

[Anemic]

Yes, I noticed that when I started posting them... I will fix that as fast as I can!
I really should get back to work now.. ; )

[Anemic]

Tore my old rig apart and cleaned the old case.

Shot of all the parts that will go into the new case
Fan controller, X-fi Pro, watercooling stuff, a couple of harddrives...Stuff mostly ; )



Close up of the MoBo, XFX 790i Ultra.



Overview



CPU, Q6600. An oldie but a goodie.



Memory slots. Not important but it's a nice picture ; )



GPUs mouted on the MoBo



All the stuff mounted on the MoBo

[barretp]

a couple of harddrives...

hahah more like a couple x10 geezz

[HuffPCair]

Nice job so far. And your Q66 is a good old one. I love mine and it will definitely be used till she dies.

[Oli4v]

nice start of your project

Everyone will call me insane if they see I'm just having an €6750@3.5 as the fastest cpu in the house xD

[Anemic]

Thanks guys!

Hehe...10 disk, is it really that many? ; ) Wont be using em all on this project tho. Going to build a small server with the 4 x 400 Gb discs.
Yeha, the Q6600 is cheap, fast and a very good clocker. What more can you ask for?
Sadly, my Raptor disk broke down on me so I had to send it away for a new one down in Germany. I hope they will return one soon. Using a Samsung 320 Gb as sys drive until the Raptor Returns. I want to get a SSD but Im going to wait for bether prices.

sorry if its a stupid question

[HuffPCair]

sorry if its a stupid question

Just that it is a good ole cpu. Not that it is older then dirt, jsut saying its a good cpu

[Anemic]

Small update!

Mounted the MoBo into the case.



Close ups since I like to take pictures



Another one



I also cleaned my water block and the radiator from stuff. The Orange Feser left alot of goo...



Block all mouted again. Going to use the back plate instead of the giant skrews in this project thanks to the opening in the MoBo plate in the case. Luv that case...



The rad all fixed



The compulsory close up...



Thas all I got today!

[Anemic]

UPDATE!

Well, guess theres not much intresst in this build, but I will post the last pictures anyways...


Mounted the water block on the CPU



The whole thing...



These will go into the water



All tubed up! 24 hour leaky test started.



Ahh, about 20 minutes to get rid of most of the bubbles. ALOT faster then with just a fillport like I use to have.



Another project I was doing at the same time. I put Cat6 cable all over my house so I dont have to trip on all the friggin cables all over the floor. Then I got a custome built 19" rack to put all my switches and servers in. Looks awsome in my basment ; ) Whenever my friends and I LAN we bring the rack along. We have our own game servers on it and also IRC, DC++ and Ventrilo servers.



Everything finisht!
The back



Insides



Complete!




I kinda dissapointed with the cooling. My "Marker" is about 70c varm in 3.666 (Evijl!!) Ghz. But then again, I have a really high Vcore at 1.543v so...Not the best one I guess...

Pics of my desk!





Thats all folks!

[HuffPCair]

Awesome job dude. Sorry I would of commented more but been kind of crazy at my house lately.

Looks great dude thumbs up to you.

[Anemic]

Thanks man, turned out quite nice! It's not like it's your job to comment so no worries =)

[MomijiTMO]

Nice cpu loop there. I have no idea how people live with fill lines. I would have stabbed myself after the 900000000000000 hour of bubbles

So why aren't you cooling your gpus? I'm asking because .. . . I am pretty happy with my air cooled gpus.

[Anemic]

I you could see all my stabbing wounds...You would know the true horrors of a fill line ; ))

Naawh, GPUs are aircooled since I want to have everything inside the case. Also read that even when water cooled the 260 wont clock much higher then with air so...No point I guess. I'm bether of with more storage ; ))

[MomijiTMO]

That is true, wc gpus don't do much other than achieve silence.

[Anemic]

The fans are noisy at startup and benching but other then that it's not so bad. I have my earphones on anyways so ; )

[MomijiTMO]

Bingo!

I used to use speakers until I got killed too many times because I couldn't hear foot steps.

[Anemic]

Well...To tell you the truth, I could have best headphones in the world, but I will get waaay to much killed anyways so... ; ) But atleast I dont have to listen to the gpu fans as much!

[HuffPCair]

Fans dont really bother me. I have a Antec 900 and all fans on med or high and it doesnt bother me. When you live with 2 women you learn selective hearing I guess LOL

[weston]

Great build man, don't worry about the low number of comments. If it isn't a murdermod around here, then you don't get as much attention. You should be pretty happy with the new setup for a while!

[sinticfury]

I love seeing HAF builds +9999

[Anemic]

@HuffPCair

Hahaha, I have to quote that, funniest thing I have heard in some time. And it's so true!!

@weston

Yeha, I know. Dosen't bother me much tho. I just really like my new build, so I wanted to post some pics.

@sinticfury

I luuuve this case too! It's just the best case out there at the moment. Fitting a PA120.3 with no modding, just great.

Thanks for liking it guys! =)

Its true though. Sometimes my girlfriend will be yelling at me for something and I dont hear a lick of it. She is like how do you do that and I usually answer with many years of training young one.
