to all, thanx for support
maybe i will change wheels, maybe i will change that "power button" plastic aplle for an steel one

night pics :














next time i will finally screw the left side 55 pcs of screws

 

Yes! Please! change the plastic apple!

sorry, that was the only thing bugging me about that case, other than that it is very very nice!!

 

dont worry next photos will be published soon

That is awesome! despite the fact that there is an apple on there, I love it! Keep up the great work.

 

must agree, this thing totally owns apple lol!

when i first saw the red lights inside and what not i thought to myself
"That thing is the devil... a friggen sweet devil" Very creative and talented modding that i see here. Just goes to show even poor students can make awesome mods. MOD ON MAN!

 

That´s cool, why do you have two places, for the main powerwire, (i see in in the back, one is plugged in...)

 

one is used for monitors on older comps the monitor plugs into the case with an opposite kettle lead

 

i won a zalman reserator1 passive water cooling in casemodcontest on www.pretaktovani.cz with my first casemod (micro.blue.light.plexi)


it is huge thing, radiation area: 1.274m2 total weight: 6,5kg, dimensions: 150x150x500mm, material: anodized aluminium, cooling water rate: 2,5-3,0L, Water Pump: 5W, 230V, H=0,5m


water block for CPU


ZM-WB2 Gold, 447g


flow indicator + transport set


water pump

 

water tanking ...(real queer feeling, to put water inside pc), flow indicator is working good


lets do some tests, btw i also upgraded my memory from 2x256 to 2x512MB in dual mode


at night

TEMPERATURES:

zalmanis obviously better but more important is that noisless,


procesor can get 240FSB, what mean 2650MHZ but not stable maybe because my crapy power supply...max stable fsb was 235 what mean 2587MHZ, but stil too much to run 3Dmark03 and PCmark04 lets go down 230FSB = 2530MHZ (CPU 1.6@ 1.8V, AGP 1.5@ 1.8V, DIMM 2.73@ 2.9V, VDD 1.61@ 2.0V) temperature on cpu after some tests (6hours full of 3dmark and pcmark) grows over 64 celsius 33 in case and 35 degrees WATER TEMPERATURE

RESULTS:


next time u will se how it loox in real cya

 

Imho You should get the Zalman res to look silver/grey and somehow mount it in/onto your case!
It's a bit longer I think, maybe on a side like on the mods of Defyant.

 

I think the zalaman would look good straped to the roof of the case...

 

This is an awesome case.. but I am dying to know.. Did you color that CD rom with a marker??? Oh, and congrats. on winning the Zalman, that thing is the bomb, never realized it was so HUGE though. I gotta agree, strap that bad boy to your case some-how.

 

The thermal stack effect won't work if the reserator isn't standing upright.

 

how about zalman gfx watercooling blocks so you don't need those 2 fans at your gfx and a new psu. get some money

 

yea i am going to buy/ make a gpu waterblock and maybe watercooling for psu

 

i am thinking about some more mod in my 2nd case so help me to decide


before , after?

it is old school ampermeter and will show actual power consuming so what do you think?

 

blue elox... ::: lets ice


cleaning of wires ::: flow indicator after one year


realy tidy ::: power cables for watercooling


gpu cleaning ::: wb instalation
