    I can't help but notice that the ram is in different paired slots, eg: no dual channel.

    ?

    And sitting on my kitchen table....you'd best come collect it if you want any chance of getting your gear in it :D

    Please note unfeasibly large and out of focus pics from Anti...nice small, perfectly focused pics from me :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,067 ✭✭✭youcancallmeal


    Wow very nice, have you got a full list of the specs?
    Does that price tag on the Vista Ultimate box say €26.72!?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,987 ✭✭✭Auvers


    What HSF were you using in the first pic? and are you flogging it by any chance?

    @ Krazy, yeah i know. I dont run it with both typs of ram in it. it was just for the sake of the pic.

    @>all . The specs are in my sig for the hardware, no specs on the wc setup yet. With anyluck hopeful will post the specs for that, and yes, thats the right price you see. I work for MS so i get a nice discount ;)

    @ Auvers, Thats a Tuniq tower. But its new home is with Hopeful.

    Also, i made a little booboo. The thermal pase went all over the chipset when i tried to get a little out:

    dsc06284ii8.jpg

    Whoops. Had some iso prop. So cleaned it up in no time. Hopefully no contacts filled in. Or its new mobo time again :(

    Anyway, Have the blocks on the cpu and chipset, Have the psu in, mobo in with the x-fi and the 8800gtx.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,226 ✭✭✭hopeful


    Let's play a game...it's called 'Where is Anti's Tuniq?'

    PICT0008.jpg

    PICT0015.jpg

    Beat you to the build...but I think yours is a little more complex :D

    Current CPU temp is 40c (X2 3800@2500mhz running two Folding @Home clients)

    Hope you are having fun with the Lian Li. Your better half's face was a picture when she saw how big it is...should have had my camera ready :D

    ::Edit:: You left the plexi here...will still be here should you want/need it :::


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,401 ✭✭✭✭Anti


    Board with blocks on:

    dsc06285zq8.jpg

    Close fit for the 8800GTX and the X-FI platinum:

    dsc06287lx0.jpg

    The psu is in, but one of the 6pin cables isnt long enough.. Cu*t:

    dsc06288du1.jpg


    Im gonna call it a night soon. My back is killing me from all this bending over into the case.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,987 ✭✭✭Auvers

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,401 ✭✭✭✭Anti

    Hey hopeful. By any chance do you have any internal pic of your wc setup so i can get a good idea of routing the pipes?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,226 ✭✭✭hopeful


    I changed the routing lots of times...the following were the latest setup when the pump is mounted at the bottom of the 5.25" rack.

    PICT0001.jpg

    PICT0003.jpg

    I'll try to find some of the lower section.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,401 ✭✭✭✭Anti


    Right so. Couldn't wait to get home from work all day :D

    I was thinking in work today, and i wasnt happy with the psu. So i flipped the psu backing plate upside down so i can mount the psu higher so i could get the 6pin pci-e connectors to reach the card without having to use any of the molex 2 6-pin adapters. And it worked :D The extra 2 inchs made all the difference. The only thing im not happy with, is that the psu is upside down now. So i will have to cut out some of the lower shelf for some air circulation. As as the moment there is about 1cm between the shelf and the psu fan.

    Anyway.

    dsc06292zd6.jpg


    Now some pics of the Cpu block, and the Chipset block.

    dsc06293ss9.jpg

    The one thing i wasnt happy about the chipset block was that i had to find the retention plates :(

    dsc06296lg7.jpg
    Sexy little block isnt it :D

    Now, remember i said how close the 8800GTX and the X-fi was. But the picture was bad quality.

    dsc06298om5.jpg

    Im not happy that im using ide drives at the moment, but i plan to get 4 new sata drives soon. I also mounted them upside down too. Just.....well, no reason really.

    dsc06299mq3.jpg

    Next my fav part of this case. Its a mod unkelrosco did to a sunbeam fan controller. Its uber sexy. And the lian li drive bezel.

    dsc06300bp2.jpg

    dsc06301ww3.jpg

    Now this is where i plan to mount the Rad. Not sure if ill have it flat, or on its side.

    dsc06304pl1.jpg

    As usual any comments are welcome. If you see me doing something wrong, please point it out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,226 ✭✭✭hopeful


    All looking good :)

    A couple of things though. I cannot remember if the connections on the chipset block are watertight when I gave it to you or if they are just screwed in loosely. Be wise to take them out, put some PTFE tape on and reattach them. Also you will need to remove the CPU block to put the connectors on...I assume you know this but I thought I would mention it.

    Oh yeah...are you really sure you don't need a hard drive cooler? :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,401 ✭✭✭✭Anti


    Ah bollocks :(

    I thought i could put the connectors on while it was on the cpu :( Im gonna PTFE all the connections later on.

    I will take the hdd cooler. As soon as i get my sata drives, but how much ?

    You can probably get the connectors on but whether you would get them tight enough may be another matter.

    I thought id have a crack with the pipes. See if what i have will do. And it looks like it will :o

    dsc06308el2.jpg

    Im deffo gonna have to take the cpu block off though, cant get the barbs past the retention bracket :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,401 ✭✭✭✭Anti


    She is almost there. Just have to fit the barbs and tubing, and mount the rad and find a place for the pump.

    dsc06309by8.jpg

    *EDIT*

    o_0 the carpet is rank...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,226 ✭✭✭hopeful


    What about the res?
    Mounting the pump and rad are the hardest bits!

    And yep..that carpet is of noteworthy hideousness :D

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,401 ✭✭✭✭Anti


    I decided to hold off on piping it. I went over to pclook and spent 160€ on more WC stuff like pipes lighting inline temp guage ect ect.

    PC-Look is such a good site for hurting your credit card :D

    A 'Gaming Glove'? I shudder to think :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,401 ✭✭✭✭Anti


    Yeah :(

    My rigth wrist is really week from a accident a few years ago, so after long periods of gaming really hurt. And this is meant to be good for it.

    Can anyone think of anything else i need. or should want?

    Also, these red fans 68cfm and 21db. How can you go wrong with that??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,226 ✭✭✭hopeful


    Are all those LED fans going in that PC? Going to look like Las Vegas in there!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,401 ✭✭✭✭Anti


    Well the plan is.

    3 white fans on the rad. 1 red front 1 red back, 80mm bottom below psu. And the UV lighting is to go in the top


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 739 ✭✭✭riptide


    My eyes. MY EYES!!!! Build looks good. Get a decent camera Anti... if you have a few quid left. :);)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,401 ✭✭✭✭Anti


    Heh. im pretty much broke now. But i do have a old 3mp camera around somewhere. God only knows if it works though. All the bling and tubing has now been shipped from pclook as of yesterday, so im hoping to have all the stuff on thursday.
