Case Mod - In Progress The eYe 11-aug-2013 project finished

final video:



currently im working on a super special reservoir that should go retail in september, all i can say about it is that is wil be in the new desk of L3p(razer), also im working on a new type of tube reservoir and some more stuf

if you like this idea you can contact us via facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/ModWithMe/606377746040009?fref=ts

here is a pic of a custom reservoir i made 3 weeks ago:


more pictures like this you can find at the modwithme facebook page

 

Awesome build. original watercooling setup and everything custom, what's not to like

 

After watching the video all I could think was "Yeah baby..."

Excellent build!

 

Just give me a few moments and I'll Send you my address so that you can get it to me.

Beautiful work, I dont know anyone who wouldnt love to have a custom computer built with that degree of attention to detail and that level of craftsmanship. Great job and I look forward to seeing more builds of yours.

 

that is what i was thinking

that is the kind of reaction i was going for

my next build wil be a combined one with hukkel and asphiax for the launch of the modwithme shop. that build should feature almost all of the parts that are supposed to go retail in a couple of months.

my part in that build wil ofcourse be making all the watercooling parts
that build should contain some exiting new designs and innovations.

with this build i discovered im more a part builder than an actual compleet pc modder. so im not sure if i wil ever build a complete casemod again. normally i dont even like flashy pc's just a nice black alu case is the best.

 

Cracking build and a suitable porn sound track for the build. Looking forward to that next build you're talking about.

Congrats on the MOTM nomination (well deserved)

 

thanx

 

just wanted to let you guys know that the first teaser of my awesome reservoir has been released, it is not related to this build but it is so awesome it has to be shared!

in the next week more pictures wil be released and the pre-order possibility should start.

this is ofcourse the first of many more products that wil be announced!

 

Lovely.

 

Sweetness

 

I like most of the build, but i don't really like that you're using the project log as a sales speech aswell, i'd like to see those 2 things separated.

 

actually im only showing what i designed and made, there is no link to buy them. only a link to a facebook page of a company that might just sell them in the future.

but i see your point but it is the same as with people who get sponsored a but load of stuf they dont even use.

 

Insane!

 

Wow, looks spectacular

So I've been toying with the idea of making my own CPU block (and yes, I realize the risk I'm taking, but it sounds fun). I don't know how I feel about the direct IHS contact personally, so was planning to go with a copper plate. I see you did this for the GPU and MB blocks.

Looks like you're just using the pressure of a handful of bolts to seal the copper plate against the acrylic with an o-ring. Is that correct? And what do you use for the o-ring? Obviously not a standard size / shape you can pick up at the hardware store

 

yep you press the oring between the copper plate and the plexi plate, oring slot is kinda crucial because that determines if it is watertight.

the shop i use for oring cords or standard sizes is: www.oringen.eu

copper plate does yield very bad results compared with ek blocks etc.

 

O-ring cord, well that makes sense Found it at McMaster-Carr once I knew what to search for, thanks!

For the slot, any reco on how to size it? From what I can find, looks like you cut the groove about 25% wider than the o-ring's diameter, and about 25% less deep than the o-ring's diameter. Sound right?

As for performance . . . I expect it to be somewhat worse due to manufacturing constraints and the fact that I'm not an expert in fluid flow and heat transfer. But I don't see any reason why I couldn't get in the ballpark of a commercial solution. Right? Ah well, I'm probably going to try it just for fun anyway.

 

size of the slot depends on the type of cord you use. personally i prefer to use sponge cord, this is more dimention tolerant and easier to glue. for that type you should use width the same and depth @ 70%. solid types are harder to glue and also tend to warp your material if you use thin sheet, for that depth stays the same @70% but width should be 133%

if i were you i would take the sponge cord because i have had a lot of bad experience with glueing the hard types.

personally i think it will be a great achievement if you make a block only 10 degrees worse, but if you have a conventional milling machine you can make slots with a sawmill(http://www.hbm-machines.com/producten/zoeken/hbm-hss-zaagfrezen/).
that way you can really come close to commercial products since they use exactly the same thing.

using normal cutters will allow you to use slots of max 1mm so that is kinda rough compared with the 0.2mm for the saw mill.
