Case Mod - In Progress Project: Pipebomb

This build has been going for awhile,sorry if its a lot in one go...
Well....after a shaky start...ITS ON!!
I now have my bench which is the basis for this build,a Dimastech Easy/Hard Dual (which was a PITA to get!!!)


mine is the Dual 360 rad version....

This is just to whet your appetite while the camera charges and i find the cable for it......

So....to the pr0n... 2x HWL GTX 360's
6x Ultra kaze 3000's
1x Aquacomputer D5 24v
1x Bitspower 400mm Res
1x Alphacool D5 top
Alphacool Compressions 16/10mm
1x EK HF and black mounting kit
EK universal GPU blocks-Bridge edition....when ST get them in
Primochill Black tubing
Bitspower Temp probe
2x Mayhems Silvercoil
Mayhem Green Dye......this is a maybe,i am a Distilled only man and old habits die (dye?) hard.
All the usual gubbins,FC,braiding etc...


Pics to come!

The twist to this is that the tubing will be replaced with 12mm copper pipe for a fully hardpiped rig!





Sorry,pics are Cam phone crapness.....

Paint splashing today!





Standoff's painted....


More pr0n has arrived....








Grills and 1090t due today...



Grills sprayed.....dont want the missis sticking her fingers in the blenders....


......she would,you know...she is like that.

Res fitted......





Some braiding and grill fitting....
A little tip for you,cut your braid to length then touch a hot solder iron to the ends and it stops it flaying out.







A peek of the board...the green is off,it looks closer in RL. paint dried a lot darker than i thought it would....

3 into 1 wiring harness for the fans....complete.



FC5 v2 and ODD fitted....
The FC looks a funny colour but in RL its a good match to the ODD.
I had to drill the cage to get them flush like that,otherwise they stick out 1" and have gaps between the 2 units

See the 3 LEDs on the Mobo tray? Under board lighting! PIMPIN'!!!!!!!


Psu fitted,HDD fitted and hardware set up..

Nothing worse than getting it all together to find somethings broke!!
Not this time however,everything is working first time.

Still quite a bit to do,cable management,usb cabling needs to be done and fan mounts need to be fitted each side for chipset/vrm cooling.

Once my GPU blocks get in then all the AC is coming off and straight to water,WOOT!!




HF block mounts painted...

[/IMG]



Gpu blocks are here!










Nearly there,just got to flip the bridge round and get some more tubing and another 90.....
and some cable management.....


on a side note..if you ever buy a bench,try not to drop a 3.5mm headphone jack on to the live board,had a 'touching cloth' moment when the machine went dead!! Luckily,no damage!








Addition of mos-c1's.....


On the home stretch now,only some tidying up and so fitting swaps to do then the final show pics will be done.

Then i have to buy 20+ Bitspower sli fittings and break out the pipe benders to hardpipe the underside...BP,WHY SO MUCH MONIES?????


Thanks for reading upto now!

 

Nice! Good job.
