My Project Log:

[ChaoticAtmosphere]

Darn....I wake up to bad news for both you and MKmods!!

 

[yogurt_21]

Man, first was my Striker II... Open box.. The PCI-e slot got fried.. So, I checked and it was 14 days since I got it... Well I didn't know it was 15 days from WHEN YOU BUY IT.. So I was over by 4... lol.. Damn... lol.. But, it happens... lol.. Man, I need to throw the fans in.. test the air flow..

only place I've never had any issues with is directron.com but then again I pay for the double boxing and product pretesting when i do buy from them.

I've done way too much business with newegg to not have an issue. it's a matter of odds and yeah I've certainly had issues with them, but other orders have been perfect.

I think the bigger they have gotten the worse the service/terms/prices are overall, but it still places them higher than most other etailers and definetly local retailers.

have you made any airflow mockups? alot of fans and start to work against each other if you're not careful.

 

[Cold Storm]

I'm going to throw in the fans today, so I can test them all.. Then go and wire them up in series to do with less wires..

Yeah, it's bound to happen no matter what. Orders hitting wrong, and so forth. It's bound to go. That's why I haven't just said NO.. No more Newegg.. But, the others I will keep with!

 

[computertechy]

love the fans!

what screws you using to mount your radiator and fans?

 

[Cold Storm]

Now who loves you all! I know I do!!!

Also..

You Tube Video of fans

Now, just gotta work on the fan wiring! Soldering! good thing I have a glass desk! Ohhh, also lighting wiring.. do that all once it gets dark outside!

 

[MKmods]

Now I would never consider that many fans... But I have to hand it to you its BEAUTIFUL to look at

 

[Cold Storm]

Well, I'm thinking of going with 13 now! lol.. I have 8 in my cosmos case right now! one more then that in the Pinnacle case... lol..

Only difference is 5 of the fans in the cosmos is the slip streams.. then 3 are the Yate Loon's 88cfm fans..

 

[JrRacinFan]

Jeez Cold Storm, that seriously makes your Cosmos look like a joke. Next comes the fun part like you said, fan wiring.

PS: Love the vid!!

 

[DanishDevil]

That thing is MASSIVE! I want to put my Mini P180 inside of it and take pictures

 

[computertechy]

please note 60cm fan extension cables! LOL

good luck with wiring bro!

 

[Cold Storm]

Yeah, it's going to be fun to wire! lol... I wish my dog would stay in one place long enough for me to take a shot or two of her in it!

thanks for the VID CS. Love how this is coming out man, you should run it air cooled with all those fans and see what temps you get

 

[Cold Storm]

I do still have both my Xigmatek S1283 & S1284.. I could try.. lol.. But, once you go water... lol

[Cold Storm]

For what, one of your air coolers? What do you use your favorite weapon for?

 

[Cold Storm]

A mantel piece as of now! lol... 55dbs is to much for me! lol.. I just look at it, think of the olden daays, then go and look at my "now" scores...

yeah bro, I lost all my pictures from before. If I had some pics of my old rig, i would post for a comparison of now. Big difference bro!

 

[Cold Storm]

all right guys. Update for the night.

I got done wiring just the front 3 fans together

Man, looks like I need to upgrade on the camera now..

Cool vid CS. I like the napkin action...gave a nice impression of the nice airflow your getting.

 

[Chicken Patty]

CS, you doing any sort of sleeving to the fan wiring. Not like individualy any wire, maybe some sort of wire loom or something?

 

[Cold Storm]

I don't think I'm going to do any sleeving. I'm wanting to hide as much wire as possible. So, I may grab a Molex extender that has been sleeved to connect both the side and top fans...

that'll work, like I said you don't have to sleeve, as long as it looks sleeved, whether its a extender or not It'll make the rig look a lot better.

 

[Cold Storm]

what im going to try and do is hide the fan wires behind and so forth. Unless you stick your head in there to check it.. I guess i do need to order sleeving.. Forgot the two switches will need it done... That i dont think i can hide...
