lets start:

i got another red Rad, 1*120.. for the MB lop..

it's comes with Bitpower fittings!


and of course, rad grill




on the rad:


another pic:


additional bottle of coolent (total: 4 liter, 2 blood red, 2 UV black)


some acryl cubes:


macro


ebay stuff


5MM LED, with resistors


Led 3MM chrome holders (i already have 5MM)




a gift


meshX






and UV red acrly







i'm going to install a MINI ITX MB in this case, but because of the watercooling parts, i don't have mush space for another PSU, so i got this tiny PSU,
or in his real name "PICO PSU"





thats it for today..
hope that i'll start to work soon..

 

update 6

an another update!

my mini itx Mobo

on the MB


closer


another one:



this is the case right now:







a place for 1*120 RAD


and the Rad grill


the second 1*120 will place here:


the front Logo (CNC made)


on the front:


high window:


and the lower one


the 2*120 rads will place here: in the rear side of the case




and from the back it's will look like that:


the water tanks



on the top of the case: (that gonna be hard ...)


some dyes for the coolant


fittings










questions, tips and comments are welcome

 

If I were you, I'd swap those Koolance 45* fittings for Bitspower ones. The Koolance fittings are flow KILLERS! Otherwise, those are some nice watercooling parts!

 

thanks for the information!
i need to order another fittings (90 \ 45 deg), so i'll go on bistpower one..

 

Man, you just keep the stuff rollin' in. Lots and lots of goodies you got there
Can't wait for you to start with the actual modding, keep it up dude!

 

Very nice fittings. Interesting project.

 

any up dates or what?
has the $ stopped flowing or have you stopped working?

 

really liked the HTPC! Very nice effect with that.

Did anyone else notice he already had a Mozart running? it's hiding under the table.

 

another update..

update! (i know.. that took a while..)

i got lot of trouble to place all the WC parts in the case..
4 loop, that not easy like it's sound..

maybe i won't use the water tanks that i got now, and i'll buy a EK res..
i need to buy the 355 pumps with XSPC res top, and the feser 240 rad + some blocks for the MB

pics!
the case on my bad



without doors.. and hardwere


just the alu frame


some parts


after some dusting


on the rear area, i got those hols... i'll use it for this


outside




i dont have much options, so i'll place the 655 pump in the MB area


my 4850 cards


the core






with EK nickel block
















that wight a lot!




side:





both cards


to make things simpler, i've installed the card in the case..














the rads for the 355 pumps loop







some holes in the MB area for the feser rads


outside


inside




out of the case


the triple rad, and place for double one that i need to order




that's is for today,
the koolance elbow parts will be replace to bitspower, to keep flow effective..

more updated will come soon

 

i'm loving the project so far.

if i could ask however, as i;m thinking of getting one of these cases m'self at some point.. how thick is the plexi on the sides, and how's it attached?

i'm thinking of doing *something* the the sides of mine.. and well, no one seems to have taken any pictures, or even given details, of the "wrong" sides of the doors..


otherwise.. please keep up the good work...

 

I've been waiting for this update for ages, it's looking good so far... I like the triple rad.

Keep up the good work and don't keep us waiting to long!

 

Golden-1, I've got a Mozart TX, it's an awesome piece of kit. The acrylic windows are held in place by rivets, not really sure how to describe them but they are splayed out on the inside like split-pins. I'm guessing you just press the plastic in and push the rivet out, but I don't want to do anything with my windows right now.

Doubley interested in this thread to see how you set up the WC. I've got a dual 2x120mm rad setup at the top, and I used the drive bay next to the floppy bay for my res. I don't have a mini-itx running behind, but it's fantastic for cable management and hiding the pump. The only problem I have is the space between the rad (after fans and grills are attatched) and the HDD bay. I have a 1/2" tube squeezed between the two as it passes from res to CPU block, you might want to think carefully about your tubing layout. Also, with two loops and that many rads, it's going to be a bitch of a heavy case. I think mine is bad enough with the one loop! Good luck though, I'd really love to see this given a decent mod.

A little off topic- I seem to remember someone using the TX to have a PC and 360 in the same case on this forum, but I lost track of the project log. Does anyone remember it?

Edit- My bad, I've been away from the forums for a while and I forgot about the search function! n00b! Some nice TX mods out there, sorry if I offended anyone by "forgetting" about them!

 

Awesome.

'nuff sed.

 

this is really a monster !

i love it !
hope you let us be up-to-date

 

Damn, when i read the title. i was like, "he better not be doing a comcenter."

C&C veterans Cheesecake. Now get building some more!

I thought those wires looked a little familiar...

 

I remembered I saw the idea in the past here
Heaven forbid, I did not mean to hurt, just the idea of sleeving of the individual wires is not new, but with diverse color individual cells in the subject project is definitely
I ask forgiveness, and I hope you are not angry

 

Nah, don't worry about it. I was just playing around...
