Case Mod - In Progress Dual Loop CM Stacker est. 2009 - update: 13th April '13

I won't be back from Florida until after the 8th, but I'll dig em out for you. The black connectors and heatshrink are from that AC Ryan PSU modding kit if that matters.

 

Oh yea how was Seaworld? Did you see shamu? I got soaked lol.

Anything is better than the stock white plastic ones, we will have to do a LAN when you get back.

 

WOW, can't believe I missed this. Coming together really well mate, looking really good. The loop is very neat, looks great. Sucks that your DDC is a bit loud, that's why I am going to use an Aqua Computer PowerAdjust USB module if I ever use them.

Yeah I got photos! Keep a lookout on Facebook when I get back. Just thought. Did you want male or female connectors? I know I have male but not sure about female.

 

When I went I though everyone looked stupid wearing those yellow plastic rain coat things but boy did I regret not getting one, I was sat front row lol!

I need both but whatever you can spare will be a great help, I got some spare 1/2" Danger Den barbs spare if you're still planning to watercool your setup.

EDIT: Pics!




I highly recommend this thing, it actually does what its supposed to haha.


I found the easiest way to remove the little pins was a "push-and-a-tug" with a needle screw driver




Second pump mounted, the blue DDC bracket doesn't look too bad actually.




So far there is only 2x 10cm AC Ryan UV cathodes in there.

 

Looking sexy as usual Ryan. I sat out of the splash zone cause I didn't want to get my camera wet. Still got some pretty decent photos though. Still not sure about watercooling my own rig, I just don't know if it's worth it for what I'd need. I think the heatshrink is sized for ATX 20/4 pin cables, but should be good enough.

 

You KNOW you want to watercool I got spare 1/2" barbs, plastic clamps, m4 fixings, and about 2.5 meters of spare hosing which Sam has first dibs on but he won't need much for his "all in one" watercooling. The rest of the gear you could pick up cheap from the market place on this forum.

 

Have to say the Green glow provided from the cooling, and the UV Cables is looking awesome.

Makes me want some UV Lighting now....

 

Yeah but then I have to buy a pump and block [/whine]

 

satisfying glow

 

Just keep an eye on on the market place, brand new a pump and block would be about £65 so get bargain hunting

 

Mmmmm.... I still don't know.

 

do it do it do it! You can even save on the coolant and buy some distilled water from Halfords, that overpriced heatsink you want is £50 anyway

 

Tell you what... If you can find me a decent block and pump for a decent price, and let me get it delivered to your house, and you are able to spare some tubing and barbs, then I might give it a go.

 

Get the Corsair all-in-one unit that was just reviewed on the front page.

 

I did consider the Corsair unit actually.... Thing is, I can't really be spending my money on stuff I really don't need. Like, my setup is perfectly fine as it is at stock speeds. I'm itching to do more to it, but I need to move out and start saving up money for getting married etc...

Any updates Ryan, or are you still waiting on me to get back? . I can't wait to see this beast in person.

 

Definitely watching this one - it's looking really good so far!

Where are you planning on putting the pump/res for the second loop?

 

Thanks
The pump and mini res are already mounted in the above pics.

@stu just waiting on my huge order of various sizes of cable sleeve, 3:1 gummed heatshrink, a 24 pin and an 8 pin extension. These with both be sleeved MurderMod style for über flexability.

 

So are you planning on painting the outside as well? I hope I can help you out some more. If there's anything else I can help you with, I'm more than happy to do so. Anyway let me know when the next LAN is.

 

Just wondering - are you using the acid green Feser or the regular green?
