Voyager V2.0 (Update)

Well I decided to start a new project.

My objectives are
Hard line as mutch as possible of the 1/2system.
Mount the rad ontop the case and make it look good with a shroud that incorporates a filter.
Redesign the front intake grill
Mount a sunbeam rheobus to the case withought using a 5 1/4 inch bay.
Create hot swapable hdd racks.
Hide as mutch of the wires as possible
Style the interior of the case to keep things clean.

Now the undecided list.
painting the inside of the case
painting the drivves
Watercooling the 3 1/4inch aluminum bay.

This is how my case looks like now.















This is what my new res is going to be made from.


New 1977bonaville heatercore.


The fans that will go on the heatercore. (Thermaltake thunderblades)


My new digidoc 5 (will be moded into front 3 1/4inch bays)




My new swiftech pump and Polarflo waterblock.

 

I cut the front 80mm grill and put 2x 92mm fans in














This is the removable mobo tray. but unfortunetly it will be permanently screwed in for this mod.



The back of the mobo tray. The two holes used to feed the tubing to cool my cpu and gpu. But they will be closed with a plate in this reworking.



The res fully glued.








This is where the res will go.




Yup the parts are prethreaded to acept 1/2 id pipes.


This is the res bondoed and sanded.




This is the res taped before primer.




Will update soon.

feel free to coment or ask questions.

I like your idea for the res, it's small and sleek, and should get the job done just fine.

 

Looking good, nice start.. though I have 2 questions:

- What is that stuff around those 4 buttons/plugs in the front of your case? Looks like some glue or anything in that direction.

- Did you test your res for any leaks

Keep going, I like your ideas so far

 

thanks for the compiments guys.

Yes I tested the res for leaks and its watertight.

The stuff around the switches is actualy cable sleeve. I took some speaker cable and striped it with a rasor blade by cutting a chanel and put it around the holes to dress them up a bit. I then used my heatgun to heat the ruber up so it would comform to the holes. It dosent budge now.

 

IMO that res looks much better than all too-usually-used transparent acrylpipes! keep it up, dunno what else to say.

 

Thanks I apreciate your support and other peoples support.

Will update soon.

Ok update time

I choped and installed my digidoc 5 and sunbeam rheostats.




I installed ports for making the whole front modular so I can easily remove it.



Front gromets



The place where the pump and res are going to be.

 

i dunno how you are going to fill and bleed that system. It looks like it will be very tough

 

I am moving my mod to the main section. Mods please close this thread.
