What other thread? BTW CS, look out for a project log from me really soon. New components are in so the case will be empty soon . Perfect time to get working on it

 

[Cold Storm]

I smell another update

All right, I'll give ya another update. lol


Got the "L" barb in.

I gotta say, I like it a lot.. Might do the "black" that Sneeky said, but I'm really liking the Blue tubing.

 

[Chicken Patty]

That's lovely Are you going to be giving the rad some fresh paint before final assembly?

It's going to get some paint.. or I'll go and grab a SR1.. I'm still not fully " there" on if I want to use the san ace fans i have or something else..

Any reason not to use your fans?? noisy, don't flow enough???

 

[Cold Storm]

there really isn't any reason. I'll probably grab a better psu if I go and use them.. I blew my last Strider P hooking them up in a series.. lol. So, I don't want to trust doing it with this one again..

I got a Sunbeam Rheobus Extreme so I could use them on the fans.. Just don't know if I want to.. I saw something from NZXT's Computex that tickles my fancy.. if I use the Scythe fans..

What did you see at the Computex that caught your eye?

NZXT Snetry LXe


If I use that, I won't be able to use the san ace's.. lol.

Gotta run to work, can't read the article now, but holy crap that looks nice

Yeah, It's a nice little thing. I wish there was a bit more out there about that. But, from a person at Computex said to me. He all ready fell in love with it.

Seems to be good then, you should try it. Looks kickass! But you said you needed some new fans with it as well right?

Well, I can keep the Typhoon's if I grab that controller.. only thing with that, it doesn't go with the fans I have in the case right now.. The thermaltake fans.. So, I'm thinking of grabbing 4 for the sr1 rad.. Don't really know yet.. The hardware is still up in the "air"

So you cannot use the TT ones? If so just replace those with Typhoons as well?

Well, most all the fan holes on the case are 140mm. The only ones that aren't is the top since I needed that space to get my "blu-ray" up there.. To tight of a fit to do it and I didn't want to spend no $300 for a slim blu-ray. So, I'm thinking of just getting 4 TT's and calling it a day.. with the quad rad, and a single 140mm rad.. I don't need the "best" fans to get the good fans.

That's what I'm thinking at lease.

Ok that straightened everything out for me. In that case I'd agree. before having to either spend the extra cash on a slim drive and since the holes are already 140mm, then just get some TT fans and you'll be set, or not?

The holes are 120mm for what I'm talking about.. just don't know how it would look since the whole system, besides the rad, is Tr fans.



Edit: lol.. They are Thermalright fans.. Man, I thought so but

 

[Chicken Patty]

So CS, any updates dude? I started my log, don't let me finish before you

No updates and probably nothing for another 3 weeks.. I gotta set up a 5 week cafe menu for our hospital to start on the 26th of this month.. So, it's going to be a lot of working on recipes, production sheets, Order guide and getting everything on the new tablet lappy that is coming on Friday. So, probably not til mid of next month on anything.. Trying to get some vacation next month so maybe I can spend some time on it to at lease get everything cut for powder coating.

I'm still even thinking of color.. Since I got my GTX 480, I don't know if I'm even going to keep this MSI board any longer.. Might go back to EVGA's FTW.. I really loved the whole flow of that board. So, color might even be different.. Or, go Gigabyte again and really change up the color!

That does seem like a lot of work bro, good luck with that.

As far as the rig, If you like the EVGA just got for it, at least you still haven't powder coated the stuff so if you decide to change panel colors or something. What other things would you have to change to change your color scheme? Tubing and stuff?

Well, the paint I'm thinking of it to be a strange thing... With the msi board, it was going to be..


Black rad cover. Ether Black or "Cobalt Blue" fan covers
Cobalt Blue Panels.
Black frame for case
Black/Blue designed mobo color.. Something to stick out where you can see..

So, if I do Evga, I would turn blue into a dark gray.. But, I was thinking, just go in and swap out the led, of red on the board with blue. So, tubing will be kept the same.

My mind is running.. But, I feel that with my tablet lappy, it will be good.. Best part.. I paid no where near that price for the referb from HP.

That lappy looks great man The color schemes is something you'd wanna choose carefully. I think swapping out the LED would be cool so you can keep the bluet thing going

Yeah, the color scheme is something I'll work more with once I get everything going again.. this time I'll do mocks up before even going with the paint..

Oh yeah, we love your mock ups bro.
