Sorry to hear about the house CS. Hope it doesn't hurt $$$'s wise. And I'm with you on the work trhing so were in it together. I'm working seven days a week for an undetermined amount of time...not for the same reason as you though; mostly for greed of better hardware I'll think of you this Saturday while at work.

We aint going anywhere soon.. you just do what you gotta do. Work and family is by far more important than any PC ANYONE could ever make/have. Once you get everything sorted out, drop us a line and let us know whats going on bro Like Patty said earlier, hope there is not too much damage to your home bro. Im assuming that there isn't too much, or you would have at least told us by now.

Thanks Guys. There wasn't really any damage done to the place. More of carpet full of water and finally got the broken line fixed.. One good thing about renting! lol... Had to throw a way a few things that where in boxes, but nothing to big.



As for work.. A moment will pass, but the moment will last.

Cool.

Ya. Nice way to put it. I like my work. I work with great people (for the most part ) and I have my days but as you say; "A moment will pass, but the moment will last." It's always worth it in the end!

Cheers!

I just got a chance to catch up on the thread.. First, sorry about the house and the employee.

And I think I know of the res maker, carefully check it for leaks.(pressure test it a bit).

(Acrylic is not too good to introduce into H20 systems, the more parts the more chances for leaks.)

I wish I was close by I fricken love to cook.....

[Cold Storm]

Thanks for that Mk.. Yeah, CD is having the same res so, we'll see with how it goes on how well it does..

I'm just waiting so much on all this to get done.. I ordered sata cables today, 12" ones... They e mailed me back tonight saying the cables weren't in stock and if I wanted them in "yellow"... back to the drawing board on that... I need to try and get the rad in tomorrow.. It will help with a lot of questions that I have in my head... Damn thoughts! Going crazy with this build!

 

[computertechy]

@ MK : Bring it on bitch

@ CS : dont rush it mate, thats where things go wrong! look at me, i rushed things now everything is screwed up with the project(wrong pipe sizes sent, missing case parts, parts out of stock)

on top of things, lost my job(u know this lol ), nan in hospital, mum in hospital, me and the fiancee might split, hardly any money LOL........ list in endless

 

[tzitzibp]

hope things are OK, now!

Have you found any time to work on the mod, man?

 

[computertechy]

I agree!

hows the mod mate?

 

[Cold Storm]

We'll I was able to get a nice day semi off. Went to work for a bit and now home. So, I'm going to later place the rad in the case to see about what I need to do next.. I got something cooking and I just gotta think it threw...

 

[computertechy]

good luck buddy

 

[tzitzibp]

good luck buddy

second that...

 

[Chicken Patty]

hey cold, glad you got some time off bro, I suggest getting some rest man

 

[Cold Storm]

Thanks guys. I've e mailed MM on getting a modded top panel and front. He said he can do whatever, as long as I can wait... lmao.. So, tonight I'll throw the rad in the system and see what I want to do.. I forgot till looking at it a bit ago that all I have to do is take the top panel off, since it's a sheet of metal only, and put the rad on.. Damn this case is easy to work with!

 

[Cold Storm]

Update:

All right, so today was a good day. Rained off and on, and it was nice to see it. But, I got a lot done, or at lease I think I did...

First off, I want to show you what arrived at my door step Wednesday!!!!!

Yep, that's a Xigmatek Thor's Hammer! MMMMMmmmm that looks so good on my desk! If you look in the Ghetto Mod's thread you can see the fun that I've all ready had with it!

With that in mind, and shown, I think after I wire, and sleeve the fans, I'll be placing my main system in the case. Gotta love thumb screws! Best stuff possible! I'll go air till i get the res in and the extra stuff in it...

Now for the update on the look of the rad. My good it was sweet and easy to do. The lining of the holes where a bit off, only on one end.. Ether way you place the rad, one side will have to be screwed in angled.. No problem with that. It works so that's all I care about

Pictures

Fingerprints are GONE

There you have it. The rad is in. Now I'm still undecided if I want to go push/pull or not. the screws that they sent in the box was 28mm long so I have to go and get some 30mm screws for it, or might just use the fan screws that I got from MM. They are longer then what I need, but I can get a dremel and saw off the screws to use it. Easy fix right there right?

Now, here is the big thing. What's been really racking my brain.. How to make the loop shorter.. I believe I have figured it out, but I am awaiting a confirmation from MM in order if he can do it.

Here is what I am thinking:

It's going to cost $40 bucks a piece to do both a different top and front panel for the case. So what I have asked him if he could do. is

For the top I was looking at moving the rad set up 1 inch forward to the front, and 1 inch to the right side. This will leave, I hope, enough room to have him drill a 2&5/8th's circular cut in the top so I can have the res sticking half way out of the case. This will give it a "different" look to the case all together.. The T-virus res would probably looks sweeter then hell having it show like that.. I'll still have the window on the side, so it won't be hiding the bottom of it. Plus with that, I can grab a UN Design Z bracket, and set up the pump right under it on the bottom fan. This would dramatically cut the loop in size. Very good size might I add..


As for the front, I'm still in a 50/50 thought on it..I was thinking of having him do this. from the bottom it would go

Fan
Bay Drive's
Fan
Then the rest would be just a plain front

This way, I can have a bottom fan blow onto the cards and the fan above the bay drive blow onto the ram... But, what's making me still say 50/50 is this... I am thinking of a front panel to be like this, from the bottom.

Bay Drive's
Fan
Fan
Plain til top

Reasoning is shorter cabling.. I can set up one of my 110cfm fans to blow onto the video cards still..



But... even thinking like that.. I like the set up right now for the front.. yes, as the pictures show,

there is the top fan blowing straight onto the rad... useless fan, but it does look quite fine due to the three xtreme fans..

Man, me thinking, and thinking!!!! Grrr...



Now, for what's up next.. I should by the end of the weekend have the system swapped.. This way to just have it done and going. That way I can see about how I like having the bay drive at the bottom like I have, which i don't see to be a problem.. Then also get the old water loop cleaned and ready to ship to JR.

Well, that's it for tonight... I've been writing this for teh past hour but keep on stopping and looking at my Acer Monitor!!! I got Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children Complete on Blu-ray... Man, it breath taking.. The difference between regular version and this... I've thrown both up at the same time, running and with the blu-ray... crisp.. God, I've watched this movie about 40 some times.. It's on my zune, and my best thing to watch if I have to be in the "library" for to long!!!!


and for the fun I had while thinking...

And yes, those are just some of the boxes that have came from this build.. I think my count is 12 now on boxes... in the past 3 weeks..
