Project: Metal Slug - [Hardware @ Dec. 1st]

8 months later and I am finally going to get back to this project. I'll have to order a replacement motherboard and I'll have to remake the PSU and drive bay cover piece. I'm also contemplating switching out the pump.

The reason is that I would like to have a computer for the Home Theater setup I am working on in December. This computer will be used to play video games with 3D glasses on a 120" screen.

More details to come soon.

 

Welcome home. You were in China, right?
Anyway, I'm looking forward to updates.

 

wow the return of the slug!

cant wait to see what you have got planned! back to your brilliant modding skills that
im (slightly) jealous of lol

good luck

 

Finally! I've really missed this project. Great to see you back, and I can't wait to see what you've planned.

 

SHWEET Welcome back.

 

It's great to see you back!!! You still going with water for this setup? Your blocks were amazing...

When you're all reacclimated to us and everything, PM me, I wanted to ask a question...

 

Awesome, glad to see you back in action

 

Yes I'm going to be making a delrin top for the CPU waterblock. The video card might go back to air cooling though. I haven't decided yet.

 

Awesome. YGPM.

 

Glad to see you back at-it Captain..

 

great to see you back captain
i love your projects

 

Currently ordering supplies and designing new parts. I've ordered a replacement motherboard and I'm upgrading to a newer video card which will have a full-cover waterblock.
I'm going to be making a reservoir

And a threading adapter block for the full cover block.

And probably a new pump top.

 

Yay! good to see the return of one of the bad*sses!

 

Reservoir is done.


The bottom ports connect to each other and not to the inside of the reservoir. Why they do that will make more sense later.

 

those are some tough reservoirs

 

are these CNC-cutted?
looking good anyways

 

All of the tooling work was done using manual equipment.
If I had access to CNC Anything I would be concentrating on making my own waterblocks from scratch.

 

Type-I Gray PVC. Very easy material to work with if you keep it cool, and it's dirt cheap.
Most of the custom parts for this project are being made out of PVC. Only the CPU waterblock top will be made out of Delrin because that will give it better contrast against the motherboard cover.

 

Is that modded chair aswell with the rear speakers on it heh. I've been following this mod since you started and I'm loving that resevoir.
