red would look cool on it on the heat pipes! Maybe you could paint the tips of heat pipes on the xiggy s1283 red to match as well.

good thing you think red would look cool because there red now i'm not going to do anything else to the s1283 YET. I am going to strip the paint off of the top fin and tips of the heatpipes and redo them.So i may do the tips red then

BTW here is the temps with a battle axe with 1 80mm fan zip tied to it this is my folding temp but NOT my normal clocks

thanks.I know i need to get new batts. for my cam so i can get better pics. I spent 2 days on the WM this time. I even removed pins from the USB,Audio,pwr,res,hdd led,pwr led and some fans to get the wires in some holes that are too small for the connectors on the end. (yes everything still works ) its going to be a bitch to replace the fans if i have to.

damn good job bro. Just owe us some better shots. Overall like the work bro, you did a good job

thanks will get some pics up monday (i hope) i am going to be kinda busy this weekend with my family and gf so i will try to get to the store for batts. and get the GPU cooler finished

i didn't even stop folding or crunching while i was working on the rig thats why i had it running on the 350w psu. i never stop folding or crunching aslong as its possible

I must say that the heatsink is looking sweet. The red isn't covering the dark color too well on the cover so i think i am going to try 1 more coat if that doesn't work then i am going to use some white primer that should take care of it.

EDIT: here is a teaser

i really wouldn't paint the fins, it will probably drop the thermal performance.

i painted the fins on my S1283 heatsink and noticed no difference at all

You are a braver man than I.

You are a braver man than I.

I have found that you have to use 1 light coat of paint and it doesn't affect it but i have also found(thx google ) that other people have done it and had temps go up anywhere from 2-5c but i think they used a thicker coart or a gloss paint. I am using a light coat and flat paint

POS... Man, put down the spray paint!! lol.. Nah, it's looking good man. Can't wait to see a picture that isn't a "sneak peak"!!!

Here is my new i7 rig. Can't wait to water cool the i7

Spent time on cable management on the i7 rig, however the E8500 rig I need to still work on. Just wanted to get it up and crunching. Plus the sucky AeroCool case is terrible for cable management (as well as a PSU that is not modular).

it kinda is i haven't shown all sides and you haven't seen the cover or it all together with the fans.. I still have to cover the heatpipes after they dry overnight and paint the last fin and another coat on the cover for the fans.

BTW it turns out that a battle axe can't cool a 8800GT voltmoded and OCed while folding for hours with just a 80mm fan on it. It got to a toasty 69c GPU 60c vreg 57c PCB. Put a house fan on it on high and a better 60c GPU 53c vreg 40c PCB

Got really driven this afternoon to fix the disaster I created.

Just haphazardly threw eveything in for fit....

Sitting around and using it a bit, I figured why not pull the HDD rack and move them above the CPU. That and a bit of wire routing led me to this rear veiw shot...

And the front with the rear panel back on, those fans have a much better chance to cool things now!
