Water Cooling in a Obsidian Series 900D

[d1nky]

I have to get a washer and dryer today so the money I set for the computer is now going to that. It sucks but we have to have clean cloths lol. I am getting the things from Amazon today as well as some water cooling parts but not all of them. No I have not looked for inspiration for my build. I like to come up with it on my own.

haha thats kind of important, i moved into my new flat and well keep putting stuff off to buy hardware! i bet you had second thoughts tho lol

Yes I did but then my WIFE said...HELL NO. I am going with a red, black and with white carbon fiber look. The color of the cooling will be red with the ram being red.

White is a pain in the ass in terms of hardware, as I've found out, I imagine carbon fibre is easier to colour white than it is to get white cooling/hardware.
There's a white GTX 770 though from Galaxy xD

I went with black carbon fiber. I got this for a start to my case modding. I will have to wait a month to get the rest of the water cooling.

Why do you like the fans so much?

 

[d1nky]

originally i bought 4 quiets thinking theyd be good enough.

they were ok, so bought 2 more performance for the heatsink. then i decided the 4 quiets werent good enough so replaced them with performance ones LOL

in between all that is when i started modding my rig as well so had to keep matching fans!

NOOOO buying the toys for the work cube is like a drug. I have over 2,000 USD of things in my work cube. I am known as the STAR WARS guy or the Toy KING at work....

I got my new fans on my two 360 rads. Now waiting for more computer tec to come in..

UPDATE

Got my ABS Plastic sheet in today. Now it's time for the modding to START..WEEE..

 

[d1nky]

ive seen em before but those rads and corsairs look epic!

makes me want a big chunky rad!

 

[Knight091]

You always gotta always please the eye

While I love Ferraris I'm more of a Ducati type though

You plan on leaving the case all black or you're going to paint some bits?

Yes I do. Read below..

cocaine.........

I have a friend that said he can take the door of the 900D and make any design on the window I can dream of. He has a shop that works with plastics and other things making signs and engravings. I asked him if he could do the other side of the case etc. He said sure. He can have the entire case powered coated as well and make it look as good as a new car. My mind is RACEING...taking ADHD pills..lol.... Any ideas? I am thinking Star Wars and my favorite Boba Fett with guns drawn and all..... it will be a MASTER PEACE...MUHAHAHAHA

 

[d1nky]

it will be a MASTER PEACE

hey works of art take time, on this one ya have to really think about it. one day or one night (lol) itll just come into your head like an epiphany.

if i were you id take my time choosing the design as its going to happen once, you dont want to overdo it but you want it bold/loud enough to have force.

youre really lucky to have someone that can do this.

Yes you do have a point. It will be all FREE as well since I worked on his car and computer and did not make him pay. He has a 3D hi rez PRO printer than can make anything. He also has computer that can mold and cut and shape anything you put in the computer. Like if I had the designs of the 900D I could make another and you could not tell them apart. We were trying to mill water cooling blocks but I did not want to take them and really test them on my computer. It is the same computer milling they use to make car custom rims out of a block of aluminum. I can hop in a suit and do my own case painting if I would like. To do a powder coat on the 900D would take like 30 min or less. More if I put more coats on it and use more colors. That would have to be put in the oven to dry quick then repeated. Also I would need to make sure the case did not bend out of shape with heating and cooling etc.

Boba Fett is a legend..that's all

 

[Knight091]

I have finished the first part of my case mod. I love it. I am going to rout all line that go to the rez through holes in the new panel with rubber gaskets to make it look nicer. The rez with be mounted to the side of the new panel facing the motherboard. I love a heat gun now. I used it and bam it made the entire carbon fiber film shrink and fit just like I wanted it to and get all the bubble etc out and make it lay flat. I may get a black rubber peace to go over corner to make it look better and match the case and tie it together. More updates soon. I take my time and think out the entire project and never do a fast job to just get it done. I want this build to stand out and look great.. Next will be the motherboard black plate.....

Sigh have you seen my drawings for the case idea?

 

[de.das.dude]

no i hadnt XD

 

[d1nky]

hey knight thats great quality work!

 

[Knight091]

hey knight thats great quality work!

Thanks. I am going to make the mother board panel tonight as well as the bottom panel tonight. The more I think of the light panel the more I do not want to do it. It would look great but I do not want it. I have come up with another way of getting good lighting without a light shelf.

The question is should I not use the carbon fiber on the bottom panel and have the mother board panel and the bay cover in carbon fiber or have the bottom panel in carbon fiber with the bay cover and no carbon fiber on the back mother board panel?

how much materials have you got spare?

when in a hypothetical dilemma its best to try out the different scenarios for real, to see which looks best.

so if you got enough time/materials ya could make both options then choose!

Man that is why I have Photoshop...lol.... I can look at how it should look with testing it in their.. No I do not have enough for a test. I am thinking I will have carbon fiber on the back panel and not have it on the bottom panel. The last think I want to do it over do the carbon fiber.
