Scratch Build – In Progress purple-haze (as named by ediejo!!) update 5/11/2007 watercooling parts!!

haha i'm pretty curious how much they will pay me. actually second thoughts, i doubt they will pay me lol. they probably think i'm a friggin noob who buys hardware they can't imagine.

lol i remember when the 6800gt came out... they were like WHY? WHY? WHY ARE YOU BUYING THIS? DO YOU EVEN NEED THIS?

i just stood there laughing

 

lol! yer its like when my neighbour across the road was saying to my dad 'he will never use it to its full potential' lol i had allready used it to its 'full' potential!!! so i was just laughing

 

hahaha. my 8800gts 320mb gets crippled in some games, but that is cause i crunch it up to 16x AA 16x AF.

 

lol!!!! i would try it but i cant atm im on my old amd athlon xp1800 and nvidia 5600gt!!!!

 

lol is that your rig or do you have another one?

 

lol i have another but no mobo atm! cus the last 1 broke!!!

 

ahhh i see now. hehe

 

lol yer the other rig was an asus p5b deluxe, e6600, arctic cooling freezer 7 pro, evga 8800gts superclocked, 2gb corsair xms2, hiper type r 530w 80gb samsung and a 250gb seagate the majority of that is going into this new case! Im also probably gunna buy another 250gb seagate and a 500gb seagate.

 

ooo nice, well if ur curious bout mine here it is.

abit ab9 motherboard, e6300 (overclocked to 3.4GHz, but currently running on stock), Thermaltake Big Typhoon, a chinese but nonetheless reference 8800gts 320mb, 2*250G hard drives both at 7200.2rpm, one of them is 8mb cached while the other is 16mb cached. 2*1G A-DATA DDR2 800 rams, but i tested them and they run perfectly fine at 1200mhz.

all of this in a Coolermaster Centurion 534.

and can't forget the psu, a 450W thermaltake with 31A on the 12v rail.

 

nice! i did look at the abit ab9 but then i bought the ram cpu and mobo off 1 guy for £300 they were 2 weeks old and if i bought them new then it would have cost me like £450 so its a bargain!!

 

ahh a bargain indeed 2 weeks old is pretty short of a time.

i hope i can get my rotary tool sometime next week. do a cut on my cm 534, then make my case. i also want to invert my atx on the 534.

 

ooooo klkl can i ask y?? lol its a kl idea though! hee my next mod is gunna be awesome ive got sooo many plans for it!!!!

 

well what i want to do is actually put a window on the roof of the case and you know how GPUs tend to face downwards in a standard atx? well if i invert it and cut a window on the roof, i can see my GPU in action . and plus, i think it will be a good start in an attempt to get used to using the tools.

anyways, i'm gonna be looking forward to seeing some progress man. hehe, i'm pretty intrigued as to how you plan on approaching the mobo tray. also, how do you plan on doing your on/off and restart buttons? or are you just going to take those off some old case.

 

im going to be using http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?TabID=1&ModuleNo=19096&doy=3m6 for the power

and http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?TabID=1&ModuleNo=19093&doy=3m6 for the reset.

mobo tray im still trying to get hold of one! lol yer i cant wait to start modding again!!! ive got a kl plan for the hdd holder aswell!

 

for those 2 plugs you showed me, do you have to do ur own circuitry or is it like predone or simply do something and tada >>> ready to go. cause dudeeeee i dunno if i can get standalone power/reset in china. maybe can but sure will be hard. and if i can, they are probably shitty ones.

haha i'm looking forward man! can't wait.

 

lol no you have to wire them but its really simple i just take the wiring from my other case and put it on those it is litterally a case of just scewing them together!

 

lol man, i don't have a spare case. hope that i'll be able to find a button that COMES with the wiring and necessary stuff to plug into the mobo pins haha.

btw what do you mean "screwing them together", putting what together? the wire and the button or what

 

if you look on the picture of it there is a slot that you put the wire in then just screw uit so that it makes contact and then just screw it on the case!

 

wtf??? so simple lol

 

lol yer! its not hard.
