My Project Log:

[Cold Storm]

How about a nice red? Silver is so ordinary imho...

To me, I see to much of the following.


Blue-black
Black
Black-red
Silver


But, due to the board, I really don't want to go away from anything.. I'm not a fan of the black-red craze that is going on.. So, I'm keeping with the board I have now. Just in the air still with color.

White would match the boards scheme. Light blue would be too baby-ish imho.

I was thinking of white. The only thing that is off setting.. Black frame, painted white.. I know primer is going to be used, but do you think that the stuff isn't going to show out? Meaning.. going from a dark color to a light..

Yeah, baby blue would just blah.

Depends on whether you can sand through the layer of black. White on plain steel (or alum) should be great. White after black is hard indeed, but the effect would be most rewarding in my head.

Well, I can see what I can do.. I know it shouldn't be hard to do. The case is just a frame anymore.. with the back and bottom the most "filled" area of black..

I think that white might work out and make worth of the board.. then blue tubing? I have black, but that's just to have in case..

Hmm, I'd see about the tubing after the case is white See how it looks.

Alot of red and black thanks to Evga. The SR2 and Classified boards went perfectly with Dominator GT's.

I'm rockin Gigabyte Blue and white, it seems to be ok for now but I may have to ask POS_PC to paint my board

When are you gonna be completely 100% done with this build? Or will it just evolve to the monster we all know it will be?

POS, dones one hell of a job on mobos! lol..

Yeah, the factor of red and black does have a lot to do with the evga, and Crosshair's... But, hey, if you like it, go with it..

The system is almost done.. I got a trick up my sleeve on buttons. I got all the parts, just gotta get the case painted, and I'm done.


Paint case,
Carbon fiber panels
Cut hole for window
Put in.

That's all left.. Not a lot, just gotta get it done!

 

[Chicken Patty]

CS is keeping it real with the box cutter !!!!!

 

[Cold Storm]

I'm playing around guys.

Koolance CPU-360 block

[BEFORE]

[AFTER]

 

[mlee49]

Do the fittings!

 

[Chicken Patty]

Do the fittings!

I would love to see how that looks, should be interesting.

 

[Cold Storm]

Do the fittings!

lol.. that would take some patients to do... I could try one and see.. tomorrow.. lol

 

[Chicken Patty]

lol.. that would take some patients to do... I could try one and see.. tomorrow.. lol

Please do.

 

[Cold Storm]

I played around with doing the full barb.. PITRMFA.. If you don't know what that means.. Blah is what makes me think of it.. I'm one for it, but it's not as nice as this

I think, if I do it with that.. It might look quite well with the right tubing.. I have black now, but a light blue might be nice..

 

[mlee49]

Probably too much time for such little gain. Nice work though!!

I like doing the compressions, but the barb isn't worth the time.. spending an hour or so trying to do it... I mean, I found the easy way, but it's a B1TCH to try and line it up all right... The compressions are nice in my eye.. could even sand down the barbs and paint them white? lol or gray?

 

[mlee49]

i'm thinking that my rad needs a coat of this. Is it reusable?

 

[Cold Storm]

it loses its muster once you take it off, but you can still heat it back up probably on something.. I was going to do my 480 rad, but RM didn't like it... lol

 

[DonInKansas]

I think it's just the ugly yellow spot ruining the mojo.

 

[Cold Storm]

I think it's just the ugly yellow spot ruining the mojo.

well, if you cut small thin pieces of it, then you can do it, rap it around the barb.. but as a whole, it's just not worth the time to try and find a right way to do it and not make it look stupid.

 

[Cold Storm]

I think I need to start a Carbon fiber thread... lol

Well, I got a nice little thing to update you with.

EVGA High-flow bracket

I think I'll use my beats to start a thread on this vinyl... I mean.. These just need to be the stepping stone of a thread!

 

[Cold Storm]

Wow, it's been over a month and nothing.. that's all going to change! lol.. I got:

Metal coming in to replace the top and the back end.. Going to do something different for the Top now...

Switches for everything coming in and sleeved

Going to order the Pedestal... Wait.. what? Pedestal...


Now, here is where my mind goes crazy...

The back end will be switched.. I'm turning around the case. Now, instead of it being a left side open, it'll be a right side.. Reason.. I'm going to be placing the loop in the pedestal along with the psu.. This way, I can have a water loop that I can move around whenever I want.. If I don't want the water loop, take the pedestal off, and add the wheels.. Easy as pie right?
That's going to mean that the loop will be easier to place due to it being closer together... I just don't know..


should it be via the mobo reversed...


Pump>Rad (480)>CPU>MOBO block>Rad (120 or 140)>GPU>PUMP ???


Also, due to me taking out that top, with the four fans.. I'm going to add something else.. some Smoke acrylic.. That way, you look down.. light it up, and see the system... The Smoked acrylic will also be on the side of the case..


As for fans.. I'm going to be adding... well still thinking.. of the pedestal having the new silverstone air penetrators.. I was thinking that might be nice on the rad.. don't know... ???


That's it for now.. I should have off Tuesday and Wednesday.. if so, I'm going to try and do the two panels.. If the metal gets in..

ooooooooh interresting

finally something is happening here

that radstand/peidestal, didnt it have room for 2 480 rads?

even one good 480 would be more than enough for your hw imo

and doing the rig inverted is gonna be very nice

looking forward to next update man

It does have room for 2 480's... but, I am going to have a "blanket" effect happening with the pedestal. Where the fans from the left side, blow more air into the rad.. since I'll have a "pull" fan set up on the rad.
