Scratch Build – In Progress Project: FrozenCPU: Billet Pron Bench; Sponsored by CORSAIR

SLI Titans!
Can't wait to see the actual benchies

 

SLI. Keep pouring the awesomesauce, bill.

 

Lol, I'm hoping if you guys have one at the end of June I could make it. Summer shutdown at the plant would give me the time off to make it. I'm sure Mos will keep me posted as the time draws closer.

Love the dual Titans you got for this. Can't wait to see the final product.

 

Looks superb quality Bill & the Titan now has the needed leg room, they really look right in there too, the titan or 690 stock coolers really compliment nice metal work really well.

Expansion card clamp looks like it functions excellent too, nice & minimal for a clamp system, definitely a nice idea brought to reality that.

 

Glad you like it, Waynio. I swiped it off one of our previous test bench drawings.

 

@avolla, sounds like a plan!

@Waynio, Thank you! works really slick too.

@siliconfanatic, should be fun! Thanks again for posting

@Ninja, indeed! still waiting to hear which mb they chose.

Yesterday I opened the EVGA SuperNOVA NEX1500 Classified Power Supply for our Tech Station. You can read all of the specs and details about this beast at FrozenCPU

 

That is one massive power supply. Glad to see this thing wont be short on juice.

 

I chuckled at the 12 gauge power cord on the SuperNova....and Glad to see you could Shout with us yesterday!

 

I have a pair of jumper cables you could use for wiring if that doesn't hold up. lol

 

"Hello ladies. meet my friend. We call him, "Excalibur."

 

hahaha! at those last posts...


Maxum gas spring arrived finally yesterday... I'll open and take pics when I'm back at the shop on Sunday..... been editing videos all week, so haven't had enuf shop time

 

4" stroke.....fnar, fnar!

Awesomsauce as per usual, Bill. Another billet masterpiece!

 

Is it an awesome robot type noise or optical drive type noise or auto doors type noise when it pushes?, can't wait to see video of it's chompers in action.

Very chunky cable too.
And I wish all PSU manufacturers would use modular ports you can use any extensions on.

 

@Waynio - I'm betting it's more of a mechanical grunt.

 

Thank you Krunch and No doubt Waynio!! and I do have more of this aluminum "slotted" mesh, if anyone else is interested.. I drill and tapped 6/32 holes on the back of both sidewalls, so I can fasten on the mesh.
 

 
 

 
 


 

 

Very nice. You never disappoint, bill.

 

That mesh is refreshingly nice, looks awesome on those pieces.

 

Soo good! You really are a craftsman!

 

Thank you again, for watching and commenting guys!

We're utilizing two Aquacomputer Aqualis 450ml Reservoirs from Frozencpu. (approx. 80 x 80 x 170 mm) These measure 70mm in diameter and made from Borosilicate glass, so they're scratch resistant! There is no color absorption in this glass, so dye colors look more vibrant.

The Aqua Computer Aqualis Reservoirs are supported by 1" thick aluminum post attached to the floor and 3/16" plate attached to side of the Bluray drive.



the 1" thick aluminum support post was added, after the concept drawing above... we predicted the bluray would never support the weight of the reservoirs alone.

 

Looks awesome,Bill. I hope to see it finished soon.
