Mods:
Completely custom built water cooling system & case by my hands with 900GPH water pump. I also have a 350GPH water pump for back-up.

My custom case is 25" x 26" x 13" - It is massive in size & weighs around 60 to 70 pounds LOL, It is fun to game in the dark. 8 Fan controllers controlling 6 x 120mm high end fans & 2 x 80mm fans. 2 x 120mm fans for cooling the RAD, 2 x 120mm fans blowing cool air in the case, 2 x 120mm fans exhausting hot air in the rear & 2 x 80mm fans cooling the hard drives.

NICE i like it very good pc

Thank U

NICE i like it very good pc

Thanks. It really looks nice in the dark with the blue & green.

Take Care,

O.O whoa! nice man nice.

Nice build. The custom made cases always tend to be a bit larger. One question though, I have a few more case build ideas and want to know where you got that ATX rear plate. Once again, nice work; homemade is the way to go.

very very impressive build ! props !!

Thanks Guys.

I used a back plate from an older case. And to mount it properly I used several nuts & bolts. And I too agree that homemade is the way to go

Once again, thanks guys & good luck on your custom cases.

that thing is sick!! unlock that gto2!!!!!!

 

[Super XP]

that thing is sick!! unlock that gto2!!!!!!

LOL, I already did. It came completely unlocked, so all I did is Flash it to a X850XT & now it rocks @ OC'ed speeds of 600 MHz Core & 1260 MHz GDDR3.

I am getting a X1900XT tomorrow, I will post info on that too.

 

[Super XP]

1 out of 10 ?? Why, can you please explain. Thank U

Just out of curiosity, I would like reason why I am getting a 1 out of 10. So, if anybody gave my mod a 1, please explain why, maybe I can do something to correct it or something?

Thanks

what type of rads are you using? seems like a 3700 sandy paired with a hydor l45 should be 100MHZ higher. my 4000 sandy taps out at 2.96 stably (can boot at 3.05 but fails prime) I keep it at 2.9 for the lower voltage. but the 3700's were supposed to overclock better than the 4000's. anyways super awesome mod, one of these days i'll get mine refined enough and post it, so far i have the rad's and res on top of the apsire case, cut the top off of a raidmax 268 and cut it to fit the rads while mounting the res in the top drive bay of the 268. still have to clean it up and finish mounting it.
woulda been easier to start from scratch like you did, then i could have a case that fits my needs while still having enough room to be managable. lol. How long did it take you?

Thanks Bro,

It took me around 3 months or so. But only working on it when I had time on my hands. I would say about 3 to 5 hrs a week or so, for 3 months.

Here is a review I did in 2004. This was my first water cooling experience.
http://www.geocities.com/nt300/WCReview01.html

The only things I changed were the water pump, reservoir, and GPU & CPU blocks. I think?

Take Care,

That is an awsome rig! Great job!

 

[Super XP]

Is that x800gto2 in CF? I didn't think it was possible.

That is an awsome rig! Great job!

No, I put them together just to show how much larger the X1900XT is.

And, there is some retard giving everybody 1's LOL, just plain stupid LOL,

WOW it is a good game machine. WOW

Finally a comp that my fat fingers could fit inside. LOL

PS Thank you very much for posting your OC specs, I basically have the same mobo and cpu and was having trouble setting up the bios (im a Noob to OC)

Cool job....

New X1900XT Water Block info?

Finally a comp that my fat fingers could fit inside. LOL

Cool job....

I am now using the "Danger Den - Tyee" GPU/DDR3 water block for my X1900XT. So, my card is now running @ 700MHz Core & 1600MHz GDDR3 memory no problem & Nice & Cool.

This water block is "VERY" tricky though? You cannot tighten the screws at all, I mean, anything more then a 1/4 inch turn with the screw driver, and my system won't boot up. It just beeps over & over & over? The block is so close to the board itself. But it does a nice job cooling the card.

Playing Quake 4 for over 2 hrs, my new OC'ed X1900XT's maximum temp was 48C where as it used to be around 78C with its stock cooling.

My X1900XT also has the exact same RAM as the X1900XTX.

That is sweet!

Hi.

That's a work of art you've created there. I abslutely admire the craftsmanship put into this rig. Makes my rig seem tame, but just so I don't seem so diminished by your awesome rig, I got an opteron! And my clocks bigger than yours. LOL! Nice rig, really.

Great mods. Wow, I would be too lazy to do that!
Don't even care why people give you 1's. It's just because their computer not as good and theey're jealous. Don't pay attention, you have a great pc.

Thanks Guys. I am building another one, but not so in depth though. Oh, and there is this one guy always giving 1's because he is jealous or something. I think everybody’s PC here "does not deserve a 1 out of 10"

Take Care,

Hmm, you should try flashing that card to the x1900xtx bios. This can help boost performance by quite a lot i hear. It uses different memory timings, voltages etc. Plus then you have more bragging rights =P

Wow, so have you managed 100,000 in Aquamark3, with the new gpu cooler? They're some very nice clocks you're running.

Well, my GPU runs @ around 48C while playing Oblivion for about 2 hrs. So, the water cooling is well worth it. But I am back to 650MHz & 1550MHz (XTX speeds). I can't seem to finish 3D Mark 2005 with 700/1600 for some reason?

Take Care,

impressive work
I don`t know why is the one i like the most
