looking good, now build it

DirkVoodoo · 10-12-2007 8:40pm

Drool!

Be sure to go into a bit of detail for the WC novices like myself. I'm tempted to try it but a nice, up to date, boards guide would be handy.

awhir · 17-12-2007 12:16am

UPDATE 16-12-2007

OK started preping the case to be primed and then sprayed.

after everything was clean I started priming(got this stuf smells);)

awhir · 17-12-2007 12:16am

after the priming was done i left it for about 1 hour to dry,found the priming quite easy.after this i started applying the spray paint :rolleyes:

after everything dried from around 2-3 coats :cool: i brought the case back up-to the house to take a few pics.I found that the 2nd coat was very important as it got rid of some blobs that had formed on the 1st coat.

I dident bother to spray the front as it will be coverd.all in all i found that the spraying went very well and the case looks class !

here is a template i made for cutting the holes for the PA120.3

papu · 17-12-2007 12:21am

dazftw · 17-12-2007 1:44am

Cant wait to see it in the flesh 2moro

L31mr0d · 21-12-2007 9:41pm

Is there a reason for the one push two pull fans on the radiator?

Also, what does that building say in the background? Mitsubishi Whiskey Refrigerator???

PogMoThoin · 21-12-2007 10:11pm

I think theyre all pull, its just the way the light is shining on the fins

no you can see the one on the left is blowing down, the fins are pointing in the opposite direction.

Can I ask, what kind of RPM's will those fans be running at? IMO the main reason for Watercooling is to make a machine cool as good as air but generate less noise. Won't those 3 fans out on top not be making a lot of noise?

awhir · 22-12-2007 3:08am

not really as they will most likly be running in 7v

there yate loons and there great fans btw,the ones I have blow 70.5 CFM@ 33 dBA which isnt bad for 3.5e a fan.

also from what i read them and syths are ment to be the best for rad because of the pressure bla bla bla

PogMoThoin · 22-12-2007 10:19pm

Had few hours up wit Andy 2day (sorry i'm doing an Anti as i had only my k800i fone wit me), Andy has better ones but he's gone out for the night.

The water block

The res mounted on motherboard tray

The pump mounted on the bottom of case

The tubing loop including my 6800gt until he gets his gt rma'd

And finally, filled with water for leak testing

Gotta say, Andy has some job done on the case, gonna be some rig when finished. I loved the way he sleeved all fan cables & he also did a nice job of spraying the inside of the case.

papu · 22-12-2007 10:32pm
