[Project/Build Log] Bat Ô Fou

[babouk100]

Yesterday, it was a day to settle, arrange, check, screwing, unscrewing, add .... in short, a day well see the details.
It's always during assembly that we realize small oversights of adjustments to make.
In the early evening, to change me some ideas, I decided to make lighting tests.
We must pay attention to the fact that these are only the tests:
- The LED strips are held only by iron wire, so not exactly placed in the right position
- Led UV band is placed around the final location
- Plexi is not on the door, so more light, no outline, visible LEDs, protective plastic on the front
- The brightness of the LED (case and plexi) is adjustable

So many little details that do not necessarily highlight the expected final rendering.

Today I finally got my last package for the mod Bat Ô Fou !!!!!!
The package with all that was missing to begin mounting watercooling:

Fittings Monsoon Hardline 12/13mm gold and acrylic tubes Monsoon Hardline 13/16mm

Not forgetting my toolbox for rigid tubing

I'm dying to ask you this simple question : how much for the whole rig ?

Everything is pretty well assorted, congratulation for a great looking (and most probably equally good performing) themed custom computer !

 

[babouk100]

How much ??? Too much maybe. I have not yet made the total.
I live in Reunion Island and i had to order all the components in:
USA (Performance-PCs) => case, Bits water-tank
Germany (Aquatuning) => Fittings, tube, tools, WB-GPU/CPU, liquid, aquacomputer tank,
Island (Icemodz) => combs, U-channel
Netherlands (Highflow) => liquid, mesh, fittings
France (matériel.net) => graphic cards, RAM
France (VedayShop) => sleeving

So, with all the different taxes (shipping, customs) I can't make a total for now, certainly too much

pretty nice...!
thanks for sharing!

Tomorrow, I finsih the paint of doors and facade and I'll do a new plexi. The frosted sticker is too opaque and we can't see the hardware. So, I decided to do a custom plexi. Hard work but I'll try.

 

[babouk100]

Another update ...
This time it is even for lighting (improved) and the plexi glass.
Test with liquid Mayhems UV Yellow Lime in the tank.
Empty pump, so no UV reaction in the lower case.
Protective plastic still on the glass
outline door not installed

 

[babouk100]

Little Update.

and here's a little video to wait

Great looking mod
I respect the time and commitment you have placed into this project.

 

[babouk100]

When I do a mod, I put all my energy (and money ) in its accomplissment. No matter how long it takes, but when I start, I do everything to finish.
With this mod (my second) , I tried a lot of ideas that I had not dared to do for the first.
Here (Reunion Island), I'm the only one modder (at least who published his work on forums and FB), so it's not easy to exchange, to share his experiences with other locally.
Just to provide me with material, I have to order each time foreign (USA, Germany, Island, Netherland), so shipping times quite long and costly.

But, when the love of computers, modding and watercooling is here, no wall stops me

 

[babouk100]

Then as currently we have a tropical storm that watereth us well, I can not progress on the paint.
So I worked on a few details and, above all, today I started the rigid tubing.


To begin, prepare the equipment. Good coffee, the case for rigid tubing, tubes...

... heatgun...

.... mandrels

and let's go for the first piece....

After a few moments, the first one is ready.

Remains to make the rest....

 

[peche]

what a nice hardewary dude...

 

[babouk100]

Thank you. I put all my passion in this second mod .... and my money
I try to do a nice mod, consistent in the choice of colors. But I will soon change the yellow sleeves that are too........... yellow

 

[babouk100]

And now, the rigid tubing is completed, filled with liquid and the pump is OK.
I let you enjoy the pictures

 

[HammerON]

Looking good

 

[babouk100]

Thank you.
There is newbie mistakes, as tube not well aligned with the rad ( need an extender to lower the rad fitting) and the tube behind not correctly straight (need to shorten the tube at the output of CPU).

But, the important is that I'm overall satisfied with this work

Still some details to arrange, and finish painting doors and facade and I'll take more beautiful pictures

 

[Bachbaabach]

Super, like this mod.

 

[peche]

thanks for sharing your awesome work dude!

 

[babouk100]

The mod "Bat Ô Fou" is currently being completed, the final photos will arrive shortly.
Meanwhile, I prepare the desktop to better appreciate the configuration with the acquisition of two screens ASUS 27 "(VE278) to go with my Philips 273ELH.

 

[babouk100]

Finished !!!!!!! Tomorrow, case cleaning and photo shhot

 

[babouk100]

And here, the adventure of the "Bat O Fou" ends (almost) here. Almost, because I still have to make some changes in the tubes under the radiator, paint touch-ups ... little things but better it to be perfect.
I have another case that I have to install water cooling, so the priority for my mod is secondary.

 

[peche]

amazing thanks for sharing...!

Regards,

 

[babouk100]

It's a pleasure for me in sharing my work. I'm the only modder in Reunion Island, just a beginner for now but I already have some orders from local customers.
