Moderator hat on: Dude, you gave your unrestrained opinion and then you found that you had to apologise for sounding a bit rude and conceited. Now you're going for round two? We know what you think of Alienware by now. Let it go. This is about the modding.
From what I've seen, no one disagrees with you. Which is exactly why no one wants to see that cooler burst. Granted, when these stats were pulled (By a Dell CR rep just before leaving the company), the year was 2009, so maybe they've fixed it. I had to service one that had the pump stop circulating water. Luckily he didn't get the overclock option, or else throttling and emergency shutdown would have been disabled. They are (or were) not quality water coolers. They're not worth defending. This guy. All of what he said. Email updates and a smartphone that beeps when you get an email. I call hacks. No way you sleeved non-modular cables that smoothly without performing some sort of sacrificial ritual. Teach us your secrets, oh great sleever of cables! Guide us to the path to OCD peace and prosperity! No offence.. But cowboy hats are way cooler. Or those sombreros with the bells and stuff on them. Anyways, I'm not going for round two. My replies have offered significant advice (It's advisable to not spill fluids on expensive electronics, or put them at undue risk of being fluided on. GTX 680's aren't cheap.) or contributed positively. ("This is how the case should have been from the beginning.")
Well, on the bright side of this debate, this thread got boosted to page six! And yay cablemanagement! @owndapwn, smartphones just aren't worth it imho. They're one heeeeeeeyuuuuge gimmick full of more gimmicks. I text alot, yes, but the screens are'nt big enough and the apps are free but if your not cautious you'll wind up broke! and my email has become a spambox to the point where im getting spam faster'n i can mark it as such and I'm sub'd to too many threads to put in my yahoo account anyway that's for another thread..
Who says moderator hats don't have bells on them? And they have lights. They flash. Yeah, especially the poop comment was constructive. And the roll eyed comment about his sleeving. Expressing concerns about the cooling system is great. Saying that you don't like Alienware is fine. Harping on about how it's poop crosses the line from honest opinion to self-important asshole just a little bit. Don't be that guy. Be the mellow guy. The guy who wears the cool cowboy hat.
Alienware Aurora ALX-XL is sponsored by: Update!!! The end is almost in sight. Recent weeks i've done a lot on the Alienware Aurora R4 Because the sleeving didnt go easy with the large connector I used extensions. It is certainly not MDPC sleeve, but it's not too bad Lower GPU power connected And another One more And the last one Some straightening and pulling Looks nice 24 pins also some shapening You've probably saw some pictures pass by with the the tubes, but here everything is connected. This time with 12/10mm tubing Finally I found them with the perfect size (thanks E22 Nate). Only thing to do is to file a little edge off the tubes just like the crystal links. Was a lot of work, but here one pic of the other side finished lol Time to fill her up and leak testing. Optical drive removed and fill the bayres. After some noise...it became quit And then it was dark ... Lights on please!!! Oww almost forgot, the midplate: I've got the whole plate illuminated using a green ccfl bar for one half. And the other half (left) I've used a glowpad. The PSU cage would otherwise cause a dark spot ... not now And power on!!!. Because the side panel is off, 3 white LEDs are shining at the top, which shows the internal Leds off Default color is green, but all original color options are possible Front is looking very nice And lights back on. Some pictures with daylight and the panels installed Still some minor work to be done, such as the Nvidia GPU sticker on the cover, acrylic window and so on. Next time Cheers!
ooh, havent watched this log in a while, and now it's almost done... '-_- Really good craftmanship kier, high class as usual
Bliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinded by the liiight! Loop just got filled with awesomesauce Are you gonna keep it as-is mostly, or pull off some kier acrylic pipe power of pine-sol magic trick on the cpu block? Thats what you've got! The power 'o pine-sol, baby!
I feel that if Alienware ever wants to boost their sale, they will probably come after you Kier to do their next on display model seriously what you have done so far has made the computer all the more desirable, and probably made me think again of getting an alienware product (not a hater, just not a fan of the price tag ) anways, Im kind of bummed that the second tubing covers the Nvidia logo on the GPUs, I really liked that logo :3
kier, thank you very much for the tutorial of how to install the GPU water block! That really helped me a lot And I must say that this is an absolutely outstanding build!! I love every detail of it!
Thanks Only a few things to do lol, internal is almost done...so no big changes anymore, but thanks I hope so earn some money with it. there will be another beter logo and will be visible all the way Thanks Just the way i like it too Your welcome mate, good to hear
Alienware Aurora ALX-XL is sponsored by: Update!!! This is it ... he's finished. Last work is done and now only the final photo shoot. Then he (temporarily) returns to Alienware. For the demo room and events ... so maybe you'll see it again live somewhere Window was one of the last things that must be done, so I have adjusted the original cover a bit more unnecessary plastic removed Cut a piece of acrylic. And installed The vinyl stickers were in and looks very nice. They gave my some more pieces to try it out. Letterop Advertising thank you very much for this. Applied and tested the light And the Alienware Aurora ALX-XL connected Crysis 3 installed Last update will be the final photo shoot and maybe a nice vid ... until then!
oh my.... oh my... oh my.... oh my... (this went on for an hour as I kept at looking at that logo) yep, I def agree with you having a better logo... damn so that is the product of putting vinyl over plexiglass?
