Case Mod - In Progress Project: "G5 Retaliation" March 19th. Alive and kicking! Happy days!

Absolute beauty you have there! Makes me want a CNC machine... just a little one... please?
Hmm... will have to see if my girlfriend changes her mind... screw the Touch, get me a mill!

 

Aon <-- Thx!
Just tell her it's silent, looks like a piece of art, and doesn't make a mess... It'l be in the house before she knows any different, and then it's too heavy to get rid of!

 

Wow.... I won't say it, Angel! :barely contains accolades:

 

E.E.L.

Thank you m8!

I guess I'm ready to be knighted...

"accolade"
Noun
1. an award, praise, or honour
2. a touch on the shoulder with a sword conferring knighthood [Latin ad- to + collum neck]

 

LOL! Sure, knighting works too!

 

Looks so amazing!
But, I'm curious, tattoo?
Where on your body? And the design?
I've got my 5th tattoo some days ago

 

I think "Besotted" would be better! Get the tat and remember pics or it didn't happen'

john

 

It looks very nice and heavy

HOPE your card won't break

 

Save the logos for sponsorships. -Both on the block and the tattoo.

 

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!
That's almost the definition of "LA face and an Oakland Booty!"

 

Awesome work and skills ....... awesome gpu block.............now I just have to get my jaw off of the floor....

Ah well... Got a bit done today anywho, so I might as well let you guys see it!

But first thing's first:

Mino <-- It's my third, and it's my second sit-in. First time took 4½ hours, and my body didn't feel like sitting there anymore... It's on the outside of my left thigh, "Ever Always Real Life" - The title of the rapper DMX's autobiography...

erenba <-- Actually, it was 600 grams, it's now a bit less... about 400 I would guess...

Cheaps <-- He he... Good idea! Although I don't think I'm gonna get any sponsored tats...

ModMinded <-- LOL thx m8! :thumbs:

theAlien <-- I'll take that as a kind of a compliment!

And ... To the update itself.
Not much to say, so I'll just let the pics speak for themselves, mostly!

OHHH... Not to forget, and this one's for you Cheaps! I've been thinking about something you mentioned a long time ago, about the "brain" in my res. Drill, fill it with another color fluid... Had do do a test to make sure it was do-able, before starting drilling the res!
Just added a bit of cutting fluid, for the test!



The picture doesn't do it any respect unfortunately... It looks WAY cooler IRL!
But it's possible, so there you go; Another thing I can wreck my head with in the cold lonely winternights! Thx for the idea Cheaps!

Oh, and yeah, I know the acryllic is not countersunk, and it is black screws... That will ofcourse change! Just a demo ride!
















It needs polishing, and other minor things, but mostly, it's done!

And the looptest as I'm sitting here writing this:



Beautifull setup, huh?

 

Cool!
Quick question:
When you designed the cooling path area, did you plan in advance for the o-rings to be a certain size, or did you just manage to find some that fit?

 

ModMinded: The two round paths were created from the size of standard O-rings we have. The last was made from the assumption that I would have to make the last O-ring myself... But as luck would have it, we actually had a size that fits like a glove!

 

Do I have to say it again, Angel?

Wow. Really amazing looking.

 

QFT.

 

A little/big question...
Do you plan to keep the 3 separate top for the cover or you'll use a big plate of plexy?
I suggest you to keep the look of the big block using a big plate , maybe with some engraving...

As asked by Mod Minded, i was thinking about the oring

Anyway, 4 hours and half for a tattoo? Soooo long time!

 

Freshest wildest block design I've ever seen! And it's DIY! Good job.

 

got to say your still the only person i know thats attempted to build there own full cover water block, and its not bad at all chap! 1st gen, and if your anything like me, the 2nd gen is already hitting solidworks! lol!

 

That is one beautiful block! I love the separate sections. Making one big cover for it would make it too much like every other full cover block imo. Great job!
