Case Mod - In Progress Q-vent 900 - winner MotM feb. - customPC article

Cool idea for the water cooling, but the outlet is in the way of your video card.
Would it be possible to watercool the stock northbridge block? The heatpipes would take care of the rest.

 

update!
i modeled the ram sink ill use, the arctic cooling ram cooler

and i recolored the northbridge cooler

also, i made a radiator cover


and this is the somewhat final version, the hdd holder still bugs me though :/

 

Damn FrooP, beautiful sketches. This is going to look epic once it's done.

 

Looks like your work is just as awesome as the sketches, can't wait to see it done!

 

Nice sketches Froop,very nice

 

just a quick search , there are other shops and other cheaper drives available too:

thanks alan, anyways:
update time YAY,
i recieved some of my watercooling gear, YAY










got some new tools, YAY!

then i started to make the radiator cover, ya... meh, wasnt fun at all :/

hours of filing later we got this:

somewhen in between, i made some anti vibrating thingys for my pump


after some bending, we got this

that needs to go

but it wasnt only that small bar that was in the way, it is much more, like rivets n stuff, the guys at antec made a pretty good job from preventing me to mod easy


thats all for today yay

 

this thing is going to rock!

 

I love the anti-vibration device. Actually it looks good enough to eat.

 

Ahh the Phobyia waterblock! Let us know how it performs!

 

Nice gear you have. What is the clearance between the graphics card and the pipe you have going from the southbridge to the northbridge?

 

Yeah you have some real nice gear. I really like that waterblock, do you have a link to who made it? I love the vibration dampener for the pump.

 

yep, i have

well, after a lot of dremeling, milling, filling, sanding and swearing, i finally made the cover fit

as you can see, not much space for the pump


yep, very thight


sadly i cant use my anti vibra sandwich, because the radiator is to high then :/


making the pump fit will be a lot of fun


actually this male to male connector should be used for the drainport, oh well, gotta order another one then


land this is the radiator without the sandwich, fits nicely


now ive gotta order some stuff

 

I love how this is going!

 

Where did you get the wiring? Especially the flat ones?

Also, do you have any internal pictures of the Phobya block?

BTW, I really like this mod so far!

 

I have to agree, looks great FrooP

 

thanks guys. The wire was from a random bag from my order, you can order 10 meters of cable which will be choosen randomly, so i cant really tell you anything more than this

 

Lotsa nice progress Froop,
Too bad about the pump sandwich thing, that looked like it would really work well. Great bending/fitting job!

I like the wires too... a grab bag assortment huh? nice.
@headala - you can try searching for the term Ribbon cable. I've seen manufacturers/distributors who sell by the foot. (or meter if you prefer)

simply amazing...subscribed...

 

MOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAR, work on the radiator cover

some dremelin

after some filing and sanding, it was done

damn it fits so nice yay

the hole from the pump has a 20mm diameter, the one with the hose is 13.5mm




and after the hard day of work, some paint

thats all
