[intel igent]

it is... the BIX won't fit either... only the magicool BIX will fit: HW labs BIX is on the right and the magicool is on the left, note the FPI difference and channel width difference, the magicool is actually lower FPI and higher flow, which explains why it spanks the BIX in low CFM testing.

Also the magicool BIX has lower FPI than the MCR, if you can believe that. ill post pics in a second.

Also changed the top fans to PULL since they only move 40CFM

In all honesty, i have no idea why Magicool call it a BIX, it has nothing in common with it whatsoever.

The rad that they make, which I really want but cannot afford, is the elegant. Its a beast, performs close to an XSPC RX and is only 34MM thick.

No way man, looks sick. The first thing I thought when I saw when I saw the second and third pictures (with the W/C tubing in them) was: That looks alive... organic... like an intestine, or something out of DOOM.

If it was my system, the first thing I'd do now is paint up some components to look like organs and tweak the mix so it looks perfectly like the pinky-fleshy looking hose in the third picture; to give it that DOOM-style tech/guts look. Maybe even airbrush the hoses a bit...

Damnit I think I just got an idea for a build. DAMNIT! I can't afford a WC setup Mark... (do you mind if I call you Mark, MKmods?) I know I've seen you in this thread. I'd love to see your incarnation of that idea, if you're ever so inclined. You do some sick work, always top notch and a little bit more.

Anywho, props on fitting all that in there! Looks great too.

EDIT - Just noticed the last post was a month ago? Oh well, at least its not a 2008 thread...

+1 i would too... MK is a friggin artist with this. The whole idea started from a Voodoo Omen that i saw back in the day:

Always wanted one, but wanted custom, and knew that a double rad just wouldn't do. I would love to see what someone with some talent can do with this concept.

After all, a case has 4 sides, minus the side panels, that can hold cooling apparatus. No need for an MM UFO case if one can fit this much rad into a mid tower and still have 3 bays (with the use of my 5.25" adapter) left.

Unfortunately, I went back to using NORPENE and glowing coils because the dye was beginnig to stain my rez. Im thinking about some LRT tubes (low restriction) and thin coils with deep purple coolant (not dye) in it. What do you guys thinK?

+1 to looks sick. (again excellent job fitting 3 rads inside a case and making it so clean)

I am way too thrifty to go this nutts with a comp...But I am doing a H20 comp as a tribute to my friends here at TPU
(Its my vision, a case designed around the H20 rather than an afterthought)

(got to finish the qpack mod first though)

phanbuey, did you see the LianLi mod I did at RLS? It wasent H20 and didnt have the rads you do but it was pretty clean (lianLi makes an excellent case to begin with)

I cant believe that was 3 years ago

Ive been looking for a good way to hide those cables! what did you use to cut out the cable holes through the bottom divider

thats some beefy Aluminum there, i don't know if my dremel is up for it.

 

[MKmods]

I used tin snips (i use then for 90% of my cuts) The dremel is for fine detail work.

I dont know if you have any of these yet but they are the only dremel disks I use for cutting (could cut that easily)
