Case Mod - In Progress SR-2 STACKER - 'Completed'

I know its been way too long and these damn 840's have been breeding

Some serious cooling needed for this EVGA SR-2 board and although the 840 is a pretty big case it was obviously going to be to small for 3 loops so lets get "stacking"

Anyway, i was looking at my separates under the TV and liked how they stacked with the round silver feet showing in between so decided to do something similar with the two 840's and make a stacked rad box to fit on top.

I'm thinking a couple of EK 480 radiators up top - one for the CPU's and one for the full board block and and a couple of MIP's RAM Freezers.

I'm removing the hard drive caddy from the main 840 and will be mounting two EK 240's there for the graphics cards.

So, i did a bit of a crude mock up with bits of chewing gum just to see how things look

MINI 840 anyone

this is going to be massive... subd

 

Oh yeah , I like that idea, this is going to be a good 1 to watch....Nice one mate

Now it really is stacking...lol

 

this should prove to be interesting
you and those dual socket boards
they kill me
i wish i had one

 

Nice, leveled case. A lot of added space for HHD/SDD. And WaterCooling

 

The review is on Bit-Tech, it was only a matter of time! Subbed!

 

Pure genius dude going to be one hell of a beast once its finished!

 

Cheers guys......long way to go yet but you get the idea

BIG thanks to Crazy_V shipping me a brand new SR-2 board over and going above and beyond with updates, even though she's had her own issues to deal with.

I got to hold one of the early samples at CeBIT in March but i forgot how big they actually are but none the less it, what a fantastic piece of kit.

Anyway couldn't resist sticking a few dual PCB 295's in there just to see how it looked

......blocks all ordered

 

Hardcore!
can't wait to see the finished project!

 

Coolmiester's back Now let's see what you come up with this time, the chopped case already looks promising.

 

Killer board for killer case, this will be big for sure

 

That board make those 295's look like toys

 

I can well imagine that whatever blocks you have coming are going to be gorgeous and highly fitting, but had to post this.



Has to be one of the nicest blocks I have seen in a while!

Looking forward to seeing progress with this build

 

Holy cow Thats an entire folding farm in one box!!!!

Serious madness, i love it!

 

My farm looks more like a dessert...
That lot adds up to my entire modding budget for the next 10 builds

 

Amazing Hardware but I swear there is room for another gpu in there

 

I nearly cried when seeing you take a jigsaw to an ATCS 840...

Looking forward to this.

 

oh god, i hate you so much
i want that motherboard so much, with dual 6core cpus

one day.. one day i will own a dual cpu computer

 

One day I'll post a proper response

 

Wooa... I mean, I can watch it just for the motherboard... Hope you'll do something terrific with it! The motherboard deserve it
