Your PC ATM

technicks, what a sick looking rig, so clean... Would be interested to see what you could do with a water set up :D judging by the look of that rig, it would be pretty awesome :toast:
 
Yeah i hope it will be nice with the watercooling.
Also have a nice idea for the left sidepanel.
Tomorrow i am buying a sheet of brushed aluminum sticker foil and print out a flame pattern. Which i am going to transfer on the sticker, then cut and apply on the panel.
 
Sounds pretty good! Can't wait to see it...

As for the Water loop... Just take it slow, and you'll do a great job!
 
Will do. I wont rush it. Will run it out of the case for a day or two first.
But it will take a few days before i get everything. Btw i got the Black Ice GT Stealth Lite 240.
 
Sweetness! you'll like it.

Wish ya the best man!

:toast:
 
good job tech :toast:

coldstorm, we are glad you got the window too :D :toast:
 
Wow CyberDruid that looks crazy good. I didn't think that it would look that good at the beginning as I thought you was doing air cooling, but now I love it :D

Quick question, you see on the pictures you have posted. What is that white bubble looking stuff in your tubes? I have exactly the same thing and I don't know how to get rid of it, or know what it is. I mean it doesn't effect the system because when the pump is pumping, it moves into the reservoir (where it appears to leave out threw the top) but when the pump has stopped, it comes back :mad:
Any ideas?

It's air foaming up the brew. Just let it run for a few days and it will work itself out. Sometimes I dab the scudge off the top of the res with a paper towel.

Hey I updated my Main Rig...what an ordeal...BSOD wiped out a years worth of installations, data was backed up at least.

Look at the dust! Every week it gets like that.
 
does it get that dusty from being in your shop?
 
That's in the house. I dunno where all the damn dust is coming from. It's Winter...there is no pollen...windows and doors are closed...you should see the filter on the external cooler after a week...

Christ you think that is bad. My room is tiny and there is dust everywhere. I clean my monitor at least twice a day to get the dust off.

Carpet. Most normal vacuum cleaners only get a small amount of the dust out of them. Then you walk on it and walla! Dust. Try lifting your case off the floor for a few weeks. That will confirm if I'm right.

Might want to check the air filters for your heating and air ducts. I keep my pc off the floor and it runs damn near 24/7. but it does accumulate some dust so i clean it weekly...do u have any pets or do you smoke? because when I lived with my dad his dog would shed fur and there would be dog hair in my filters... :ohwell:

Switched desks, took away the 6.1 set and installed the logitech set. Now at least I can look at the insides of my PC while I'm running it :p

Oh and yeah, that's the inside of Aluminix on the shelf :D

machines that are clean tend to run cooler, draw less power, and Increase the MTBF.

Hmm, that case looks familiar. Oh, wait, I own one!
It's an awesome case for little money. You painted the interior yet?
 
Here is a shot of my poor Rosewill mod (Frankenstein)

I have managed to keep its power requirements to the 150-200watt range (trying to go lower)

I might when the weather gets a little better. Then again, when the weather gets better I also have this little aluminum box to finish... :p

And I can't say it enough, this case is bang for buck! Lurrve it!
It even got good looks and words from someone with an expensive Stacker last weekend :D

That poor Corsair psu must feel so sad, being so under utilised.:D

Hey Mark, ever thought of throwing out the rule book and designing a case with thermal management as the primary concern? Something that can be closed though. I keep feeling we box ourselves in by just trying to improve the normal, so to say.
 
Thats was the purpose of the Rosewill mod. Those 9600s run in the 20-30C range and the Quad is in the same temp range using only 2 fans.

Seemed the smaller the case the higher the airflow and lower the temps. The bigger the case the higher the temps were.
