Project Mercury By Snakez Last update 14/02

That is a bloody sexy PSU, though I guess they're all starting to look the same now, eh?

 

Then lets start working again , coverplate in.



Pump and hoseclams came today too





So can continue , hope to testrun it this weekend

 

That PSU is sweet
For those who don't know, it's the PSU from this interview (see part 2 of the video).
Furthermore, nice work Snakez. I'd like to see better photos though.

 

He's too busy updating his topic twice a day I do like the mod, although the individual parts aren't that special in my opinion.

also, you and Edejio (i think ) might wanna look here as ACRyan have a lil something for you.

 

Power supply and coverplated on their place .Loosing lots of wires. And put the hoseclamps on the tubing.
Was a hard job getting them in place.
Did not have enough tubing to install the pump and second (dual) radiator in the front , a shame but order some tomorrow .

 

Very nice!!

but could you please take bigger resolution pictures!!

 

c-strips the holes near the front of the case that the tubing goes through, otherwise immaculate as usual!!

 

Some bigger pictures .

 

Today prepared a new coverplate in the top , to hide more cable's.

 

Ohh Thanks

Looks...awesome just awesome! Very well done, nice skills you have there Snakez.

On that picture, could you not put the tubing going from the graphics card onto the LEFT side of the rad (instead of the right), and then the right rad barb going to the inlet of the cpu block? Just a suggestion to keep the tubing nice and tidy as you've done a very good job on the cables!!

 

very nice!
congratulations for this good work

 

Maybe that would be too much bending? Don't know actually. Pictures might show us.

 

I tried it but kinks the tube . Otherwise i would surely have done that

 

Ah right, did kind of look like it would after I suggested it but maybe it could have worked hehe!

 

thnx for bigger pictures, this PSU seems not that long, can you tell me it's length? I ask because my 750w strider is 18cm long and this 1kw one seems shorter, is it?

 

It's 15x18 cm

 

then it's exactly like mine, thnx

 

just a question... why are you wc the south bridge and the north bridge is left passive.... I thought that the 680 run very hot.... just wondering... nice mod.... another thing what happend to the bar right beneath the psu because it doesn't look as shiny as the rest....excelent work you have got so far...

 

It's not an 680 mobo , but a 590sli , and the bar needs to be cleened
