Fit's current machine... always changing

Fitseries3 · Feb 18, 2008, 03:40 AM

i figured i would just go ahead and have a thread to post pics of my current setup seeing how i change SO often. i'll post the previous setup along with my current one to start this off. if you have any comments let me know. im open to suggestions.

keep in mind, it's always a work in progress.

previous setup....

Fitseries3 · Feb 18, 2008, 03:43 AM

current setup as of 2-17-08...

im still trying to find ONE more antec 5 1/4'' bay fill.

another X2 will be joining that one when the drivers come out.

intel igent · Feb 18, 2008, 07:24 AM

nice!

were you running dual loops?

viczulis · Feb 18, 2008, 08:09 AM

If one from a 900 will fit your drive bay. PM me with address and I'll send you one.

(If you dont find one in the next 10 days), wont be home for 10 days but if your still looking I have one.

Bjorn_Of_Iceland · Feb 18, 2008, 08:13 AM

Kinda like a member I know from here. Always changing. (actually no. his rig does not change. He just reposition wires and stuff, a little add in card, and thats it.. another post at case mod gallery with a suffix of Q2 sumthing sumthin.. just to keep that rig on the front page of the galleries. pfff). Sorry bout that.. ehhe. Nice rig btw!

philbrown23 · Feb 18, 2008, 08:24 AM

its a silverstone tj-07 orf w/e not an antec 900

Darknova · Feb 18, 2008, 09:29 AM

I so want that same case...but it's so damn expensive over here lol.

Good job too!

Fitseries3 · Feb 18, 2008, 03:40 PM

@darknova expensive indeed! i paid $340 shipped.

@philbrown it's a silverstone TJ07. i just used the fills from the 900 because they are NICE!

@intel_agent dual loop in the first setup. im waiting on petra's to send me my 2 EK3870x2 waterblocks to put the GPU loop back together.

and yeah.... if anyone has one more antec fill, send it my way.

thanks guys.

Cheaper than over here then, £210 not shipped, so that's about $415-420

about a 1/4" shorter. i'll post a pic for you. BRB.

vivanco · Feb 18, 2008, 04:23 PM

ok yea im wondering because my case can take a 8800 gtx but i dont know about a 3870x2

Fitseries3 · Feb 18, 2008, 04:30 PM

ok... i was wrong. they are the same length.

crappy pic but you get the point...

vivanco · Feb 18, 2008, 05:04 PM

nice, thank you for the picture

tigger · Feb 18, 2008, 05:39 PM

Did you remove a top/bottom divider plate in that tj07?

very nice anyway.

for now. it's getting machined to allow maximum flexibility for future upgrades/setups.

viczulis · Feb 18, 2008, 06:58 PM

Ok I'll send drive bay cover when I get back home. I'm due in 27th or 28th. I cant see it costing much so dont worry about that. This site has helped me out in the passed and I'm sure I'll be helped out again.

But now if its 50.00 thats a different story. lol

Fitseries3 · Feb 18, 2008, 07:02 PM

strick94u sent me the 3 in the pic along with the antec fan shroud that holds them together. i was gonna just use one to finish up the top but i couldn't let the other 2 and the shroud go to waste. the TJ07 needed some airflow from the front anyway. looks good i think.

thanks again strick94u

i've had just about all the stuff in your system specs... funny.

Fitseries3 · Feb 19, 2008, 03:24 AM

im thinking about adding another rad to my case. it's gonna be pretty crowded and hard to plumb but i think the extra cooling capacity will help when i get my EK NB/SB/VRM blocks in the gpu loop.

any opinions?

Fitseries3 · Feb 19, 2008, 04:43 AM

what color of dye should i use in the second loop? anything but red.

Poulpy · Feb 19, 2008, 08:18 AM

I use a 360 xflow rad from hwlabs (optimized for LPDC) and i cool 2 * mosfets, 2 * 3870, NB, and i used to cool the CPU too (Vapochill now).
The 360 rad was enought with 3 fans on it (until i switched to the E8400 and its heat problem).
So i would say that if you add another 240 rad you should be way fine.
Personnaly i am planning on switching my 360 for a smaller 240 next month or so as i dont have the CPU in the loop anymore and that 360 is too big to my taste for in-case integration.

Hope my opinion helped.
