Scratch Build – In Progress Project Windtunnel | New Camera - High Quality photos!

Happy Birthday!

Project looks really cool, love the res, keep it up!

 

Cheers, yeah its really coming along now that the acrylic is here, I actually have something to work with!

 

Wow! That an amazing case. The waterfall is insane. I can't wait to see it finished.

 

@ mittelmeier - you wont have to wait long

Alright, im about to take apart my test rig and start installing the main system. Everything is done and ready to go!


Making the front panel


Back panel


Sanded both sides...double frosty!


Frosted back panel.

Its all good and hopefully I can show you some pics in a few hours of the finished product.

 

nice! that is an awesome view from your place too

 

Haha, the white face looks extremely happy with him/herself

 

Yeah hes always a happy bird


ALRIGHT! Im almost done!

Rushing out to uni for an exam so yeah, I took some horrible shots with my camera phone that dont do the mod justice at all....

Ill post them anyways.

I still have a couple of things to do to the hdd cage to improve the airflow that gets to it, the two 250mm and twin noctua fans give a hell of an airflow. It feels really really impressive.


This case is massive, it weighs about 34kgs and its just massive.











One thing that does bother me is that because of the CPU loop placement when I turn off the comp alot of air tends to settle there (almost the highest point of the loop), how do I get the pump to start before the CPU to when I turn the comp on?


I will post some high quality shots when I get back from exams.

 

That res looks amazing! I really really like the look of this case!

 

Your water level in the res when the computer is off might have to be higher then the cpu block.

 

This isnt possible though lol, the res isnt movable, its welded to the side of the case....

 

I just meant adding a little more liquid or whatever you used.

 

Nearing completion...

 

Night shots as promised.

 

Love the waterfall effect in the res.

a really cool and laid out idea.

looks a really good a neat case.

good work!

 

I was wondering where you were going to put that first monster reservoir. The new one works better.
Next time only add glue to the edges of the part and then put them together. Your reservoir seal is major overkill.
When do you plan to water cool the rest of your components?




-Desktop toilet paper!

 

Amazing workmanship. It'll definitely look awesome once complete and gotta love them frosted look

 

Unfortunately my cut with the jigsaw was not as exact as i would have hoped lol. The amount of airflow is insane, I plan to get dual 4870x2's to justify the 1000 watts of nuclear power

Cant watercool them though, x2's dont oc with much benefit and costs 400 dollars in total to do it! ouch!

Yeah frosted Cheesecake, looked too confusing before it was frosted.

 

Looks very good mate. Excellent result.

 

Cheers, im in the process of re-modding the hdd cage as its not getting enough airflow, my raptors are at 38 degrees and its a bit too high for my liking even in summer...
