Well it was about time i made my logg here. After reading and peaking on other constructions i started my work a week ago. - I like to thank : G-nome & P_R_I_M_E for the inspiration of this - - The goal - A total silver colourd computer ! - To get from shops - * Heatcore : DONE - pure copper colourd in silver * Watertank : DONE - true ghetto style in silver colour * Case : Got one still ugly * Tubing - got to paint them or somthing * Blocks : Got CPU & GPU but have to get them colourd as well. *date on the pics are wrong* Case dont know yet ! And then ? Well i got my hands of a heatcore from a VOLVO and it is HUGE ! ugly copper colour got to paint it to silver. A plastic lemonade bucket got to be my watertank and after spraying them this is the result. I got them hooked up with my zalman block and my DD Graphic blcok into a setup with a Eheim1048. My two blocks i got ! This was done to se if the water flow was fine in this setup, the tubes are perfekt to fit in the case later on. A look inside the tank on the water flow ! Well this little work took me over 7days to do ! I got kids to feed and little time but i work on with this day by day so stay tuned it is week end and xmas soon so atfer new year i may have somthing goodie to show or sooner.
Very cool, I love the heater core, those old ones from cars apparently work really well, but did you say you painted it? That could reduce its effectiveness.
[ FlashPanHunter ] Yes i painted it and i use a thermal heat paint so i belive that should not reduce the effectiveness a lot. [ Bildonia ] yepp that's the idea, combinations of style and ghetto
Like a redneck in a Tux with his over forty and feeling sexy matching red teeshirt, hat, and Catapillar boots! My kind of Modding!.. P.S. Don't fordet to mount the fans and motherboard with grey duct tape!
*lol* Not really that bad ! Im going to paint all components total silver so they melt into the vase in style nut a lot of DUV is going to be used also
Watercooling update ! The watercooling is up and running thats why im back ! The motherboard sensor shoed off 250+ C on CPU Well quick modding and got a external house sensor connected and this is now better temps ! No fans on the heatcore ! Room temp : 24C ( 74 F ) CPU Temp : Load 4-10% normal surf load 32C (88F) well good or bad ? All parts are on the table and NO FANS on the motherboard or nothing ! The reservoar has room of 2 Liter and thats used in the system of liquid ! Comp setup ! CPU : XP2200+ watercooled Ram : 512 DDR PC2100 no cooling GFX : FX5200U watercooled next update after xmas with the start of case construction !
How long was the system sitting at idle with those 'no fan' temps? How long was the pump running before you fired it up? I ask because those temps seem somewhat low if the coolant was already up to idle temperature. Getting coolant up to idle temp can take a few HOURS, and 2 litre is roughly what I run in my loop. It took 4 hours for it to come up to idle temp. But its amazing what a small breeze through your radiator can do That's why a WC rig is so darn quiet.
December 25-26 UPDATE ! havn't done much it has been xmas but after the kids got to sleep i started to work with 220V power ! To bad i have beer around but what the hell! I got my hand on a Compressor that im going to add to this work ! To get it stated was priorty 1 but 3beer later and a playing lotto on the connections in the power box i got it alive ! The Compressor This compressor has OIL that has to be cooled som this is the basic idea i am going to add to the two piped you se are in the bottom of the compressor. A tube spring is going to be added to the OIL so the compressor it self dont get hot ! Well back after New Year with more updates !
i am waiting for my Plexi 1X2m big 12mm thick " used plexi " from the locak hockey rink so i can start on the case ! The compressor is used to cool the CPU ! The watercooling is to the rest of the computer * a good modder is never finished *
Man that is some cool Shizzle you got there. I like ghetto mods cuz they are cheap and usually are the most fun and challenging to do. Keep up the good work!
Oooh...that's definitely looking pretty nice. I've never seen an oil compressor before...going to color it silver too?
