Case Mod - In Progress Neptune's Trident: Wallpapers

Loving this just read the whole log, quick question, were can i get one of the led circuit boards your using???

Cheers

 

Thanks guys. The led board and led pigtails will be available at Moddersmart soon, however they do not have stock yet. As such it is not yet listed on their website.

 

Boddaker I will need to cut and sleeve my psu wires to length as well, do you have a guide or a special way that you do it? Did you use tinning flux?

I've never soldered before but I have a kit (strange huh?), any tips would be grand.

 

If you have one of these,

it will make your life a whole lot easier. After stripping the wire ends, I put one end in each alligator clip to hold it in place, and just push the bare wires into each other. Then add a bit of solder(I don't use tinning flux). Its right about here when I realize I forgot to slip on a piece of heat-shrink lol. So do this part before the soldering.

As for sleeving, I'm still learning myself, so to be brutally honest it would probably be best not to listen to anything I have to say about it at this time.

 

I really need to get myself a solder station, I spent 2 hours trying to solder some wire to some pins on an LCD temp display by hand, didn't go well at all lol.

 

Hmmm when you solder and your hand is burning up, but you dare'nt let go because you have to get that the wire soldered to the delicate component....
Ah....blistering memories!!

 

really nice work so far, I was thinking of doing a white and blue theme on one of my future builds so its nice to know the colors work well together.

 

Thanks HourBeforeDawn.


Almost done! On the home stretch now. Got the last couple of items painted, and the loops filled. woot!

Before I could finalize the tubing, I had to paint the tubing guides. So I did that while I was doing some last minute cabling.


Here's a wide shot of everything so far with the guides on. I swapped out those silver sata cables for some UV blue ones.


Here's a close up shot of the lower rad compartment. Don't even ask me how I managed to hook it all up lol!
(no, really. I don't remember. )


Upper main compartment with guides:


Close up shot of the T3 side:


Close up shot of the component side:


Finally I get to fill the system! I carefully turned the case onto its back and started filling. First the CPU loop:


Next is the NB/SB & middle video card loop:


Lastly, the loop for the two remaining video cards:


All three T3's filled and ready to go! I used a spare psu to cycle the pumps, bleed all the air out, and check for leaks under pressure.


Money shot of the floor with all three shades of coolant flowing through it:


And finally an overall shot:


I did have a few leaks I needed to address, but nothing catastrophic (which is actually amazing considering how many
fittings I'm using lol). I just have a few final items to address, then I can call this thing D-O-N-E.

This thing deserves to be on MDPC. A-MA-ZING!

 

Awe-frakking-SOME!

 

^ what them guys said ^

 

looks incredable boddaker

 

I really like that floor concept, I would get that patented so you can start selling those as options for the bottoms of peoples rigs

 

Wow, the things that get posted while I'm having lunch O.O

I replied to this on the EVGA forum also, but it's so awesome I had to reply again

 

WOW amazing!
I love the way you even have the gradient from blue to very light blue in the fluid.

 

This thing is like silence of the lambs, the bar has been put to high for anything ever to reach it.
Amazing!

 

I just read this entire log... and i am in awe! That floor is truely a work of art... how on earth did you come up with such an amazing idea!

 

Thank you Agressions, stonedsurd, John, bagman, HourBeforeDawn, dark4181, jegerjon, THP Dan, Jelle46, and oliverw92!

The floor really came out of necessity, after realizing how much tubing I was dealing with. It started out conceptually as hard lines under the floor, then got incorporated into the floor after collaborating with Geno (boxgods.com). Once we got the technical aspect down, I added the Trident influence to fit the theme, although that ended up complicating things a lot more than I realized at the time. But I made it work!

 

The floor turned out amazing, great work absolutely beautiful.
