Scratch Build – Complete GwassGween -FINISHED-Nov13 2013-pics start on page 67

LOL, trolls in lingerie? What the hell is going on here?! Looks like one of my ex's.

In all seriousness, this is coming along great, Cheaps. Been so busy lately, I haven't had a chance to peek in on other's stuff let alone my own. Here's some stars for ya, man!

 

@Javerh and perplekks45 - Your last posts were amazingly cruel.
@EEL - Thanks, I understand that whole 'busy' thing too well. -Although I haven't done sh*t all week.

I gotta get back at it. John has informed me he's out of worksafe jokes!

 

Should we be worried by this statement??

 

Hmm... weird. That's what my parents always asked.

C'mon Cheaps! Get back to work! I need a fix!

 

Yeah. Enough troll talk.

 

Really! Need more

OK, OK.... I did a little this week.

-Very little. I wanted to experiment with the round bit and stuff. The first operation was to drill 1/8" holes. Then I changed to a 1/8" round bit, and cut an inset around the edge of the holes.

-The holes don't like to photographed. They came out nice, though. I don't have to sand them. The big reason for this test was to see if I could use a hole to fit a 6-32 screw without tapping, and make the countersink on the CNC. It worked.

-Monkey found a box on the front porch today. Monkey loves getting stuff in the mail. *hug*

-Peanuts!!!! Monkey loves peanuts! -These taste kinda funny...
...I forgot about DangerDen's pink packing peanuts.
This is part one of DangerDen and Hardware Labs' sponsorship care package. -Long story short: I screwed up and forgot some stuff. Then remembered I forgot fans... So I gave up on the fans. They have been generous enough!

-First thing out of the box was about 12 feet o' Tygon. Yeah, baby! I got a lot of hose!

-Next I fished a bag of Bitspower/Fatboy barbs out of the sea of pink. These will be used in the reservoir, and possibly a memory waterblock. Exactly what I'm building is still completely unknown, but I'm trying to put together a gaming rig... and I want to use my new toy for some waterblock porn.

-A shiny new MC-TDX waterblock for i7. I knew whatever I built, this would come in handy. The top plexi plate is pretty, but I plan on doing a new top with a bottom layer of glass green, and a top layer of opaque black.

-Hardware Labs gave me one of their new Black Ice SR1 360 radiators. The sucker is huge!
I love HWL rads! They don't stink of mineral oil when you open the box. This is one of the new models that is designed for slow fans. That's good because I will be running at least five.

-Included in the box is screw mountain.

-Huge radiator, huge fastener collection, and HUGE improvement! I promise I won't take this one out to the back yard and torture it.

-When I get a chance I'm going to see if I can fit this cut in the CNC. Legoman666 gets another thanks for posting a model of one of these in the Sketchup library. I need about 5 1/4" of clearance to cut the radiator holes, and the machine should be capable of 5 1/2". I'm pushing the limits again.
So lets hear it for my kick-butt sponsors! Thanks again!

cough coughupdatecough, ahem.

ninja edit: lol that's awesome

 

Congratz on the sponsorship mate, I have been looking at hose new HWLabs rads recently, very nice, I have a GTX and love it.

 

Inspired by Cosmos Dragon?

Can't wait to see you work your magic!

 

I like HWL rads. Perhaps they'll sponsor a GTS 360 XFlow for me

Thanks for the update Cheaps.

 

Thanks, dudes! HWL do put out some slick looking radiators.

@Mvagusta - Ha! I beat you to it!

@Perplekks- Nope. I thought it would look cool if the only light in the system was coming through the tubing. Whether I can pull it off has yet to be seen.

 

I have a HWL radiator, unfortunately I don't have a loop to connect it to

 

Frame it?

 

Lookin awful...ly nice LOLLL. Damn didnt realize you got another going. Now I know that monkey's real

 

I really have no doubt about that.

 

Thanks.
The monkey is real...ish.
-I have doubts. What if the LEDs end up working as algae grow-lights?

 

Well, at least you will offset the CO2 emmissions that are a byproduct of you using power to run your computer.

 

Yup that would fit the name, with green algae floating around in it.

:Special update:
John's troll has finally come out of the closet and was seen parading at a yesterday's gay pride!



sorry i just couldn't resist

 

On the other hand, you'll have the first green, eco-friendly casing. Who has one?
