de Coolit Boreas MTEC Chiller has his place against the case now, a little lower because above the boreas a koolance tms-200 with expansion board will come,
also modded. only making a mat black acrylaat for finishing the hdd bays holes for between the boreas and the case.
And painting the mounting for the boreas also black.

http://i35.tinypic.com/33p3nr9.jpg

[billygoat333]

you actually have a level 10 AND you are modding it? kudos to you, sir. lol

[Chiller]

yes, i find the case nice and big, not to many people have one with the limited edition 2000 pieves of this case, and i always whant a case that you dont see much.

But the case is a little boring from itself so i change it, plus there is a Evga SR2 mobo coming in it,
so two cpu's needs to be cooled also good.

therefor the option of the Hybrid cooling of Coolit.
There will be a Coolit Freezone, Freezone Elite and a Boreas Chiller in/on the case.

Case will be red black, so the colors of Coolit (blue/silver) didnt fit my theme so i modded them also.

[Chiller]

http://i45.tinypic.com/27y5ugj.jpg

put some led's in the custom 5mm fanshrouds i let lasercutted for the boreas chiller, and hoocked up some led's in the Corsair HX1000 psu, enjoy the pics :

[mDust]

This mod is out of control. I love that modded boreas. I thought the 'classified' sticker was a little tacky until I saw it in action. That looks like some small piece of Area 51 technology you have there.

[Chiller]

http://i45.tinypic.com/27y5ugj.jpg

today received 3 packages, so work again on the parts and case, the boreas chiller is finished, no to the Freezone Elite and Freezone V1. :

new TEC plates in tha house, so now i can finish the Freezone V1 cooler :

that thing looks amazing!!

[Chiller]

thnks, still much work to do.

[x88x]

Impressive stuff here. Like I said elsewhere, I think this is the best use of a Level 10 I've ever seen. :D

today i customized the 3D fangrill so it fits on my Coolit Boreas Chiller :

This was how it looks standard :

And after the adjustment, who see the difference ???? lol :tong:

http://i35.tinypic.com/w9f8qp.jpg

And this is how it going to fit in black and red on the Chiller :

[x88x]

Nicely done. Very clean conversion.

[Chiller]

thanks

[SXRguyinMA]

looks factory :up:

[Chiller]

factory ? lol, that's a good one, didn't hear that before.

thanks for compliment

[TheGreatSatan]

Yeah, like it so cleanly done that it looks fresh from the factory.

At least that's what he means

[Chiller]

i need to adjust the motherboard case a little that the SR-2 will fit in.

[AnG3L]

Amazing mod man nothing else to say!

[slaveofconvention]

No offence meant, I swear, it does look very VERY well done but... (ya knew there was a but coming, right?) that fan grille looks like it's going to block a huge amount of the potential airflow going through that fan. You could get around that problem (clearance allowing) by placing spacers between the fan and grille so air can get in (or out) from the sides too though...

Again, it looks downright awesome, I'm just a sucker for practicality lol

[Chiller]

http://i45.tinypic.com/27y5ugj.jpg

Actually, it's not a bad idea to give the fan some more room to blow yes.
I take the dremel lol

MAt Black acryl bended with a heatgun, for detail for the Boreas chiller on the HDD bays.

http://i38.tinypic.com/zlzxty.jpg

now waiting to receive the mobo hopefully this week, or at last beginning next week.
Also a nice toy for OC, the Evga EVbot.

The motherboard (hopefully this week)

Mobo SR-2 link info (http://www.evga.com/articles/00537/)

Nice toy for OC on the mobo :

http://i35.tinypic.com/2i0dkd2.jpg
http://i36.tinypic.com/2i29avo.jpg

Only problem is that the case needs a big adjustment for fitting the mobo in the case,
but it will work how i whant it.

i can also use a backplate likes this, but i will keep the original backplate of mobo, but adjust it :

http://i33.tinypic.com/24qs7xi.jpg

If you look at the sizes of the Classified ATX mobo (30.5 x 26.4cm) against a SR-2 E-ATX (34.6 x 38cm) :

http://i37.tinypic.com/25hzsk7.jpg

the case will need some adjustments lol.

[StormRider]

holy crap! :eek: that is one freaking amazing motherboard( and it fits the mod like a glove):D

[Chiller]

it is a big one yes.

and the colors match the casemod good.

[Chiller]

http://i45.tinypic.com/27y5ugj.jpg

Mounting for the Boreas Chiller made, was first the HDD trays.
Now made mat black acryl with behind the mounting plates for the boreas chiller.
And still need to finish it nice off and put holes for the cables of the boreas :

today i sleeved the cables for the Evga EVP OC Panel V3,
Also the flat ide cable etc

And made a cable to extend the Connector from the motherboard EVbot in the IO-Shield to the front of the pc :

enjoy the pics :

[StormRider]

Wow, that is a LOT of sleeving. how much did it cost you anyway?

allmost finished, just have to make it nice :

http://i52.tinypic.com/sp90tx.jpg

[SXRguyinMA]

wow that came out great!

[Chiller]

thanks, i think i do the connectors for the cpu power also like this, is easier for the cables lol

[Trace]

Just checking, are you sure those are all pinned in correctly, and not flipped 180*?

From the picture it looks flipped, as the one has the lock function, but the one on the mobo doesn't.

[slaveofconvention]

Yeah, I agree - double check this dude - you may well have to give Trace a big hug for saving you from frying your motherboard! The way it looks now, it does look like you have the connector the wrong way around. Fortunately, if you do, all it'll take is a little unpinning and then refitting to get it perfect!

[x88x]

Looks awesome, great job!

Oh, and I think it is hooked up correctly. If you look at the shaped pins in this picture, they do line up correctly.
http://i55.tinypic.com/n34xe1.jpg

[slaveofconvention]

Actually, with that pic, I'm even more sure it's wrong....

http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/slaveofconvention/imagestore/connector.jpg

If you follow the numbers/letters, it looks like you have the bottom row of the top connector wired to the top row of the bottom one.

1 on the top should really be wired to the bottom connector under C in the bottom. 2- under B, 3- under A and so on. All you need to do is remove the top female connector, rotate it 180 degrees, and reconnect it and you'll be set.

I think :S

[Trace]

SoC, that's what I was thinking. But I was using the "lock" that you use for the cables as my guide. Just worth a second check, for sure.

[SXRguyinMA]

ya its def 180º off :D

[Chiller]

on the connector of mobo, yes the cables need to be changed, i knew it already, but i am also using a atx24 extention, because i also need the signal wire of psu connected to the second psu,
and i don't whant me evga SR-2 1200w psu, change the cables, but i do it in the extension cable between psu and mobo.

pics of what i did today :

from this :

http://i51.tinypic.com/2ntbxwl.jpg

i made these, and a little bit more, only waiting for a new shipment of red connectors :

http://i45.tinypic.com/27y5ugj.jpg

today received package with connectors :

http://i55.tinypic.com/p883s.jpg
http://i52.tinypic.com/70ciz7.jpg

i made this, and have to make more of them for the other cpu and vga power on mobo :

Looking good. :up:

[SXRguyinMA]

um...that 6-pin and 8-pin connector are 180 off as well...you've got your + where the - should be and vice versa....

[Chiller]

http://i45.tinypic.com/27y5ugj.jpg

The other cpu his power cable is also done, and the PciE cable also :

[billygoat333]

I love the 90 degree angle connectors. very sweet.

[Waynio]

Angled mobo power connectors :eek::up:, now those would be very handy on my next case & I expect many other peoples cases, first time I've seen such connectors, very awesome :up:.

[Chiller]

i just make my own idea's, how i whant it on my case.

I would be nice when a fabrikant makes these connectors, instead of me

[Waynio]

Whoops, sorry I thought in 1 of the pics they were pre-made :redface:.
Great idea & implementation bud & like said first time I've seen this done, extended cables rock, + saves voiding the psu warranty ;).
True there's definately a market for angled power extenders, I'd buy a pile straight away & I'm sure many others would too.

[Chiller]

http://i45.tinypic.com/27y5ugj.jpg

new parts in :

Evga SR-2 1200w (peakload 1700w) psu


Due to U.S. regulation, power draw over a typical household 110-volt AC line limits the PSU-1300ATX-12N to 1300W. However, the unit is fully capable of a continuous 1700 watts when powered from a 220V AC circuit. Users are responsible for supplying adequate AC power for the PSU-1300ATX-12N.

Cpu ATX power connectors, also with 2200UF (microFarad) Condensator and ferrit-cores :

http://i56.tinypic.com/20j304i.jpg

and te best part of the power supply is on the back of it lol :

http://i54.tinypic.com/24edx74.jpg

Also LGA1156 socket isolation and new inox Backplates for my SR-2 :

http://i53.tinypic.com/25f57i0.jpg

also i got two red displays in for on my controller.

http://i45.tinypic.com/27y5ugj.jpg

take a HB624 controller with ALMEGA88V chip :

http://i51.tinypic.com/5wyo38.jpg

put some cables and a pot meter on it :

http://i53.tinypic.com/ebehad.jpg

with the pot meter 10K i can adkust the screen light :

To see real time the 12v rail of the SR-2 powersupply, and monitore the power drawn of the three coolit coolers :

http://i56.tinypic.com/r91zy9.jpg

cpu disable jumpers soldered for make the connector for it in front of the case :

http://i55.tinypic.com/2ytwqo8.jpg

need to cut new Socket isolation because SR-2 has no big condensators next to the sockets, so i can use some more isolation : :

http://i54.tinypic.com/2igiueu.jpg

putted also three temp sensors under the full cover blok, to measure the CPU PWM 1 en 2 and the NB temp
with a Koolanc TMS-200 controller :

That waterblock just looks beautiful on there. :D

[Chiller]

http://i45.tinypic.com/27y5ugj.jpg

today little testing en measurement, the boreas chiller and the freezone will be hanged on the power use controller.
http://i52.tinypic.com/2eoihi0.jpg

but a lot of cables here that needs to be in the case fitted.

http://i51.tinypic.com/2898nkm.jpg

[flare]

There is a insane amount of hardware and money going into this project.... I love it :P!

[Chiller]

and a lot of time to lol :wacky:

[Chiller]

http://i45.tinypic.com/27y5ugj.jpg

Alu plaat of 1.5mm is in, tomorrow making the adjustment of the mobo cover :

http://i51.tinypic.com/m4qxj.jpg

[TheGreatSatan]

Mmmm, that is a sweet looking $2,000 of CPU awesomeness. :D

For that price why not just use 980x's?

[Chiller]

because they don't work on SR-2, only Xeons with double QPI link

[x88x]

/\ This. i7's (or any consumer-level Intel CPUs) only work by themselves. To have more than one on a single MBB you have to use Xeons, for the reason Chiller noted.

[Chiller]

http://i45.tinypic.com/27y5ugj.jpg

Today being busy with making place for all the usb cables, power led, hdd led etc to go away from mobo as fast as possible, not to show to much cables in case.
Also adjusting some things to get the mobo cover enlargement fitted on case,
used a lot of dremel cutting disks :

http://i51.tinypic.com/34qpv2h.jpg

And because the Evga SR-2 mobo doesn't have condensators like a normal LGA1366 mobo around the socket, i needed to make some new socket isolation kits for around cpu with more amramflex, pictures will say enough :

http://i54.tinypic.com/2igiueu.jpg

And here you see the normal cut-out of a lga1366 socket kit and that for a Evga SR-2 mobo :

http://i54.tinypic.com/20p5v08.jpg

[Chiller]

just bended the alu plate in the same curve as the standard mobo cover also have :

http://i53.tinypic.com/qx2xxz.jpg

The curve in the red circle, the green lines is untill where the mobo cover needs to get bigger for the bigger mobo :

http://i54.tinypic.com/fxxjxi.jpg

[Chiller]

http://i45.tinypic.com/27y5ugj.jpg

The original mobo cover has a serious cut-out for the adjustment,
and you see the four square holes for mounting the new alu plate :

http://i56.tinypic.com/wc0far.jpg

This is the bottom of the original mobo cover, is a serious cut-out on,
so Quad sli GTX480 still fitts :

http://i56.tinypic.com/2m5xdmv.jpg

The new alu plate working on :

http://i53.tinypic.com/28tuxl5.jpg

And here it's fitted on the case base plate :

http://i55.tinypic.com/wqzjag.jpg

Nice fit :

http://i52.tinypic.com/wbt9nm.jpg

And with the base plate of the big Boreas Chiller,
you see that the ATX 24pin needs a cut-out, and two tubing with a BP fitting,
also the Coolit Freezone V1 needs his place in this plate :

http://i51.tinypic.com/2e0mget.jpg
http://i51.tinypic.com/2j47uia.jpg

And here you see what also needs to be cutt-out in alu plate :

http://i54.tinypic.com/29m8xhz.jpg

[Chiller]

Update after some hours work :

the BP fittings are in place also the cutt-out for the ATX 24pin :

simply awesome cable management.

[Chiller]

lol, that is the goal i'm going for, i see others users with a SR-2 and theyre cpu power connectors, and i didn't whant that

[x88x]

Beautiful cable work there.

awesome metalworking!

[Chiller]

Today i made the plexi acryl,
tomorrow sanding, prime and paint the alu parts (if i'm up for it)

Now it's good visible what i whanted to do with the case to fit the bigger mobo SR-2 in this case (normally no fit lol)

Sorry for the bad pics, not enough light but i whanted to show you guys already what i did today :

how are you attaching the acrylic? looks like socket head screws but can't tell.

[BS Mods]

how are you attaching the acrylic? looks like socket head screws but can't tell.

I think you're right. I can see a shadow under the heads of them.

I prefer button heads myself.

[Chiller]

Here are some better pics in daylight.

I didn't close the cover good, it's not that it has a space between it lol.

The parts have now there first primer coating :

http://i56.tinypic.com/2vay2w7.jpg


And here the first parts in primer, i sprayed it very thick,
because i nedd to get al the tiny flows sanded out of it, but will get more layers :

http://i51.tinypic.com/2en2kbk.jpg

[x88x]

Thing looks awesome! :D It's gonna look even better with that panel done. :D

And this is how the case is on this moment, also fitted a 16x2 red/black lcd above the Boreas chiller.
Also you see now how hidden the ATX24pin really is, pure cable management with the 90° connectors :

the new cpu's 990X and X5690 should be released in jan of feb 2011

They expected to be on a new socket or compatible with this board?

[Chiller]

LGA1366 is just a new model of the X5680, the X5690 will have 1 mutliplier higher

[Chiller]

Total overview of the case how he's now.
Most of the cables are on/in it : audio, usb, powerswitch, hdd led, power led, reset, reset led, debug lcd, 2 sata, all atx and pci kabels.

Evga PSU is also on his place together with the dual bay psu in front :

http://i52.tinypic.com/2hfqmj6.jpg

overview of mobo with all cables on it :

http://i55.tinypic.com/ivwqrr.jpg

Also i have made a cable for the EVbot connection in the mobo IO-Shield, so the connection will be in the front plate, where it's easier to acces to hook up the EVbot :

http://i51.tinypic.com/r2m2s8.jpg

Total overview of the current cables in the case lols,
but they are not all the cables yet, and need also some controllers to put there
(coolit, koolance, poweruse) :

http://i56.tinypic.com/j8nz92.jpg

[Chiller]

Here are some pics with all coolers on there place, now you see also why i make the 90° connectors on the mobo :

http://i55.tinypic.com/15817pk.jpg
http://i53.tinypic.com/scxocy.jpg

Here you see, with fittings and all, i calculated just enough space for cpu block etc :

http://i55.tinypic.com/24fco7a.jpg


and this is why i made those 90° connectors, so maximum on cable management :

http://i51.tinypic.com/2eultti.jpg

[SXRguyinMA]

lookin good!

[x88x]

Very nice! I love how the coolers cover up the wires, so they're almost completely hidden. :D

now isn't that awesome?
I'm sure somewhere there's a limit to how cool this mod can get, but I have yet to find it:D

[Chiller]

i have to find it to lol

[Chiller]

I cut up an Evga ECP Panel for building it in the front of my case.
little soldering, and i will have a EVbot connecting in front, a DEBUG lcd, Clear CMOS switch and switches for disable PciE and cpu's.

This will be build in a Lian-Li slim-drive Bracket where together with a slot-in dvd drive also can go two SSD harddrives in it :
i cut the ECP Panel up because you see always mods with just the ECP Panel screwed in the case, now i change this to my own taste.

http://i55.tinypic.com/jgm8tu.jpg

Here is the Lain-Li slim dvd drive bracket,
(bought in usa)

Here you see how i build in all the different switches, lcd en connectors, these will come behind a grey smoke acryl plate :

[Chiller]

little update for tonight,

the Evga ECP Panel of Classified mobo's, i cut it in pieces,

http://i55.tinypic.com/jgm8tu.jpg

And this is what i did with those pieces, i only whanted to use the Clear CMOS button and the debug lcd,
also i enlarged the connectors in the IO-Shield of the Evga EVbot to the front plate for easy acces.
There still needs to come a slim dvd drive slot-in and a grey smoke front plate :

http://i52.tinypic.com/1z6cjyt.jpg
http://i53.tinypic.com/viegc2.jpg

[AmEv]

And you did this...
without sponsorships?
O.O

[Chiller]

reservoir and fittings come from aquatuning.de all the rest i payed myself, and sold also my old rig 980X with Classified E759

[Blibbax]

That last video really shows that this creation is an absoloute beauty. I can't wait to see it completed :)

[Chiller]

the case is allmost ready, i just whant to change some things on it, that's all.


a casemod is only finished untill the moment you don't whant to change anything anymore hahahahahah

i have also a very nice mod in petto for the GTX580's, that nobody ever did with a GPU

[Chiller]

habe taken the front panel connector of my old intel skulltrail mobo (dremel in mobo)

http://i52.tinypic.com/svkufs.jpg

And used this connector in my slim drive bay of lian-li, together with the ECP panel i cutted up,
so that i can hoop up the ECP panel cable of mobo in my dvd drive,and from here everything will be splitted to debug lcd, power and reset switches and cpu/PciE disabled switches

http://i56.tinypic.com/oh0n7o.jpg

and hhere you see it, connector for ECP panel connector that comes from mobo, and connector for power and reset switches :

http://i55.tinypic.com/6yz0io.jpg

also the halve of the cables is managed, have some more cables to do and connectors to solder.
Have also the Koolanc TMS-200 controller build-in the case and hooked up the first cables and sensors

[Chiller]

little update :

i'm still waiting on some small packages to arrive:

Sata slim line dvd RW drive :
http://i53.tinypic.com/2ik34w0.jpg

Sata slim drive adapter to normal sata :

http://i55.tinypic.com/154911w.jpg

red smd-led strips for some light inside the case :

http://i52.tinypic.com/zy7qt0.jpg

3x Nexus air-beamers for 80/92mm fans, also here comes a nice mod with in the case,
also some 3mm led's , 1 for the freezone V1 cooler, the other one is for in SB of Mobo full cover block instead of the stock blue led's :

http://i55.tinypic.com/sxgi1d.jpg

[SXRguyinMA]

that was an awfully nice (and expensive) mobo to hack up just for a front panel connector! :eek:

[Chiller]

As you can see in 1 drive bay in my rig can hold more then 1 item , is multi functional :

Debug lcd
clear cmos
EVbot connector
disable cpu's/PciE's
HDD for extra space
and dvd drive itself

http://i52.tinypic.com/259zbq9.jpg

that was an awfully nice (and expensive) mobo to hack up just for a front panel connector! :eek:

Agreed, I felt faint after seeing that picture.

I do like the multipurposing of the drive bay, it's a very tidy looking package.

[Chiller]

the hole setup is tidy to get everuthiong in there, in front with bigger mobo, those coolers, in the back with all the cables.

i put a lot of stuff in there lol.

but whant it as clean as possible from the outside

What on earth got first place?

[Chiller]

because my setup didn't work yet, i get second place, was it finished and working already i got first place and price was a rig of 2K.

i whanted first the disable PciE and cpu switchen what are jumpers on the evga ECP Panel in the front panel.
But i changed my mind, so nobody can fidle with them, i put them on the back of the dvd drive next to the connector of it.

http://i56.tinypic.com/wh09zq.jpg

[Chiller]

drive bay is ready, now with the PciE and Cpu switchen on it.
ready to build in and make the front plate of grey smoke :

http://i55.tinypic.com/14ecbhh.jpg

[Chiller]

drive bay is finished, now only makinjg the front plate, grey smoke acryl,

here you see the connectors for power power led reset and reset switch
cpu and pciE disable, ecp connector to mobo,

and in front the Evga EVbot connector, debug lcd and clear Cmos switch :

Looking good, just hope that Motherboard was dead before you took a dremel to it.

If not, next time you're considering this, please send me the expensive mobo, and I'll send you a front panel connector (or w/e else) in return :P

[Marcos Viegas]

Nice job man!!!

Congratulations!!!

[Chiller]

Busy on the clean front plate of grey smoke acryl.
Now made the EVbot connector in place,
only the dvd cut-out and clear CMos and offcourse the drive bay PSU needs some fresh air to.
The outside needs to be finished at the end :

Can 98 even deal with all those cores and RAM?

Nope, don't think so. IIRC it topped out at one processor/core.

Coolingpaste is used : Liquid Ultra,
temp sensor by every cpu,
Adjust the mounting with red smoke acryl voor more pressure on armaflex and for visual effects,
start to cut also some tubing Norprene on size,

only waiting for next orders to arrive of tube clamps, 3mm red led's, and some more stuff.
The first triple kit memory is also ordered : Corsair Dominator GT 12Gb triple kit 2000Mhz CL9,
where there will come 4 kits on the mobo of these.

You planning to re-use this case for your next few PCs, or start all over in a couple of years time?

[Chiller]

this case/build will be my 24/7 internet/game rig.
This case stays for what it is, and will be sold in the future like it is, because the case is made on size of the SR-2 mobo.

For my girlfriend i need to make something small but crazy modded.

[msmrx57]

AWESOME!!!! Love it! :up: With the hardware you've put in there it should be awhile before you "need" to upgrade. You'll have to do a log on your girlfriends system.

[Chiller]

little teaser, what am i planning to do ?

http://i53.tinypic.com/vwtslx.jpg

[Chiller]

the bottom is as good as finished,
just need to order a flat pump with top...
if a Koolanc PMP-400 pump with top is maximum 40mm heigh.

I can take the bottom out any time it's a tight fit and is on 2 alu plates, nice and steady.

The usb internal, sata and ECP connector on the mobo is nice clean now.
This is no metal plate but 4mm not shiny black acryl plate PMMA15

only needs to get connectors for the PciE powercables for the GPU's :

http://i55.tinypic.com/1okm55.jpg

http://i52.tinypic.com/znadeg.jpg

[Blibbax]

Only one SATA cable? I take it that's going to change?

[Chiller]

there are two sata cables, red neon one for the dvd drive, and the other one (black just under it) is for the external Sata (Esata)

hdd will be revodriveX2

[Blibbax]

Does that mean that you're going for "only" three GTX580s, or that they will be single slot water cooled?

[Chiller]

indeed, max of 3x GTX580 or 2x dual Gpu GF110

after the drain valve needs also a exit for the liquid :

http://i54.tinypic.com/5ewkg2.jpg

[Chiller]

little update :

Make the led's for the full cover block on size to the fan connector on mobo what normally the fan is for the NB cooling.
Next i'm modding the powercables for the vga's :

update :

http://i51.tinypic.com/dqsksz.jpg

[Chiller]

small update, got at last the snake connector in, so the 3th pump can be fitted and the loop closed,
ready to fill it up.

left of the pump you see all kind of cables , that's for the Koolanc TMS-200 controller, all kinds of temp sensors all around the mobo and cpu's.

http://i54.tinypic.com/4toa69.jpg

[Chiller]

i'm going to fill up the loop now the 3th pump is installed, own mixture : 25% Ethylene Glycol and 75% PURE water, no demi.

what you see in the measure cup is the Glycol no color pure 100% glycol :

http://i55.tinypic.com/54zmth.jpg

here my koolanc poor in cup on the ZERN res with a snake connector to make it a little bit eassier to fill :

http://i51.tinypic.com/5mwk82.jpg

on the drain valve i putted also a tube in a bus filled with my mixture, where the pump can draw it's liquid from when i put the valve open, to make it a little bit eassier to lol :

http://i52.tinypic.com/35d8gw9.jpg

http://i54.tinypic.com/2zgheld.jpg

and here comes the first liquid lol, pumps are now running to get the last micro bubbles out the loop, for now, no leaks found :

http://i55.tinypic.com/2r4n18p.jpg

[x88x]

Getting close...almost there... :D

[Chiller]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWzQnCi-d-I

[Chiller]

It's a miracle !!!!

i get it closed hahahahaha, +200m cable in limited room of 3,5cm lol :

http://i55.tinypic.com/avhdmp.jpg

here you see that the plate is a little round, but i put the cable fast fast in to look if i get it closed,
later on the cable will be nice routed and strapped so that the plate doesn't look round :

http://i55.tinypic.com/2pr8pz9.jpg

[Waynio]

Pretty amazing beast of a rig here Chiller :):up: & holy moly 200+ meters of cable OMG madness :eek::D:up:.

[Chiller]

i had 225m of sleeving from MDPC-X, and i only had some meters left of the sleeving.
And not every cable in the back is done. (garanty psu)

[Waynio]

Even just the sleeving must have cost a load :whistler:. I got 40m & some other bits & wasn't exactly cheap so :eek: I think the price for this entire build would make me faint lol :D but I'm sure it must be fun being able to just go all out on a mod :):up:.

[xr4man]

very nice.

[StormRider]

21 degrees?!?!?! How on earth are your CPUs not covered in ice? :eek:

[AmEv]

Man! My P3 is at 30C! That's awesome!

[x88x]

Heheh, nice work, Chiller. Really living up to your name. :D

[SXRguyinMA]

21 degrees?!?!?! How on earth are your CPUs not covered in ice? :eek:

it's 21ºC, so about 70ºF :D

[Chiller]

the liquid is 15°C , is sub ambient.

no condensation because cpu sockets are isolated.And coolers are not running at 100%, but temp controlled.

is nice for 24/7

[StormRider]

it's 21ºC, so about 70ºF :D
I know that. I was just contributing to the overall effect :D

[SXRguyinMA]

ahhh I get it :D

[Chiller]

here are the load temps, cpu temp in Coolit software is not correct, cpu isn't supported by the coolit software.

As you see idle the coolers run lower power, when stressed the coolers will raise there cooling power, and keep the liquid temp low, under Ambient,
cpu temp raises a 5 a 6°C from idle to load thanks to temp controlled coolers.

Temp of liquid is set @ 22°C max, min power of coolers @ 60%, max power @ 100%, real nice settings on these coolers,
and the coolers don't even run at 100% to keep the temp, for me that's good for lower noise level :

http://i56.tinypic.com/2lm5l50.jpg

[Chiller]

little sneakpeak what i'm doing now :

Most of the time, people put there powercable for vga like the RED arrows.
I whant it as clean as possible in this case, en i will do my powercables like the GREEN arrow, straight horizontal with the vga's.
Vga's seems like they are floating in the air lol, strange sight.

On later time i can mod also the plastic cap on the vga, make it wider, little bit bigger, so the powercables are IN the plastic cap of the vga cooler, totally NOT visible.

http://i56.tinypic.com/30981f6.jpg

And this is the beginning of this little vga mod :
