Scratch Build – In Progress MiniMe - Smallest (ever?) Watercooled mITX PC - 22/03/2010 COMPLETE!

Sucks about the PCB dieing mate.

 

Think you are a little confused! This project isn't about a TJ07, it is custom made 20x20x20cm cube, it is also pretty much done Take a read of the worklog, you will see what i'm talking about.

If you are talking about the chipset block in the last update, it is a custom made waterblock by Duniek, not koolance.

My TJ07 worklog is here: http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=184426

Yeah

 

Just gave that entire work log a read through, and well colour me impressed!

I do very much enjoy SFF stuff. Well done!

 

Thanks Fox

 

Update #22



Leak testing the pump and rad after soldering up a hole in the rad and checking over the pump internally.



Nothing leaked, thankfully!



So bare and empty!



New acrylic t-block isn't leaking like the last one either.



Starting the final assembly. PSU and drives installed.



Nice to finally have a working CD drive in there!



Bottom section completely complete and ready for wiring!



Unfortunately this was the easiest part, and it wasn't that easy!



I had some issues with clearance, so as a precaution i cut the heatshink down incase i had to revert to air cooling on the chipset.



Done on the band saw.



Here you can see my issues. There is no room to get all the tubing through and actually put it on the fittings.



At least the cd drive fits!



I'm liking the look of the white tubing, its just a shame i can't get it all in!



RAWWWW bitspower man!



He's gonna bling you up yo!

Yeah you can tell i got a bit bored trying to figure out the tubing issues.

 

Every time I look at this mod I am amazed that you can fit all that hardware in such a small space, congratulations.

 

Thanks mate

I finished it last night! It is now 100% complete finally! I will have photos up tonight.

 

I was just about to say, that he couldn't, but then I read the post above..... Can't wait.

This is a pretty fantastic mod, really awesome work. +rep for an awesome job, now to check out your new project .

 

Excellent job!!!

 

What happened to the coils?

Pity you had to shift the fan up.

 

Thanks bud!

I didn't need them surprisingly! I managed to tube it without using them.

Eh, i'm in two minds about the fan.. It looks quite neat with the lighting effect, but then the corners are not very attractive on it. I may make something to neaten it up a little.

 

Have some more photos:





















Was trying a new photography setup for these ones, don't like it so much.

 

Thats Hawt! you should share these photos with MDPC

 

That looks fantastic. The pictures higher up with the wireless antenna sticking out and the awesome little feet make it look like a little robot puppy

 

Thanks guys Haha at the puppy analogy!

 

MiniMe is featured in this month's issue of CustomPC

 

I believe congratulations are in order

You have achieved a dream of mine Congratulations!

 

Thankyou very much
