Finally my next build :)
This time not a scratch build, but a "normal" casemod.
Before i came in touch with the world of modding and watercooling i played a lot with HTPC's
Back then i fell in love with all the cases of Origen AE.
Every time i was on their site, i just had to watch the topmodel.
I knew it was just too expensive for me, also personally i think the 12" touchscreen is useless for an htpc.
But still ... it looks so nice....
Because i won some prizes with "L3p D3sk" (http://www.l3p.nl/l3p-d3sk/all-pictures/) in the Coolermaster compo,
and because it was time to prepare my next build i took the step to go for the Origen S21T.
Also because i wanted to build something that is more easy to take to lans then my previous build ^^
Off course this all wouldn't have been possible without the help of Freddy from Highflow.nl
I have also chosen this case because i didn't see it being modded much yet.
So it won't become an Htpc but a real watercooled gamer pc :)

Received the case 2 days ago.
Just had to see how the touchscreen moves and what the red Enermax fans look like in the case :)

Pretty fans!
Thanks :)
(you're one of my favo modders by the way :P )
Here all the first unpacking photo's.
So first of all i want to thank Freddy from Highflow.nl (http://www.highflow.nl)
He will be the main sponsor of this project again.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Sponsorlogo/highflow.png (http://www.highflow.nl)
I want to use the grey plexi for the top window.
The other plexi is just for playing with it and to find out about different colors.

Enermax Vegas fans @ 800 RPM, i hope they will do.
At least they are very silent.

Bought these from colleague Kier aka Richard 2 x 1 Meter RGB led with controller
Wonderful stuff for modders, also if you want to find out what colours would be best

Is that supposed to look like a microwave? if not, you may have a problem
:P
The pump
This will be the place for the Koolance controller (http://www.highflow.nl/pompen/pompen-van-verschillende-fabrikanten/koolance-reservoir-pump-rp-1000bk-black.html) for the pump and fans. I will remove the logo by the way :D

And a small movie of the controller in action. Maybe i will disable that beep, or atleast make it less loud.

To reduce noise and power consumption.
First of all .. my own site (http://www.l3p.nl) and so the L3p d3sk pictures are back online :)
Thanks for all the help Bo and tweakers.net crew !
And received some material !
I'm very happy with it, no i can also measure some more.
You can´t see it very well on photo´s but it´s very narrow all inside.

Didn't have a mouse yet for this build so ordered this one from the asus shop.
Think it'll look good next to it :)

Going to use the EK Top/Res instead of the Koolance top, this cause of the limited space i have.
The Koolance heatsink will remain.

Used the hardware from the CM compo to fit some more in.
As you can see, not much space.

Small update.
Got some good news from Asus.
Just 2 weeks before the hardware will arrive !
Can't wait :P
I've been talking a lot to Kier (http://madebykier.com/) lately.
We also exchange a lot of hardware and WC products.
Also we ordered @ MDPC-x together, told him i didn't have much time the coming 3 weeks. So he said, send me the PSU with the rest, i'm bored. (Before he started his TJ11 project)
So ... Made by Kier :)

For in the bottom of the case. 92mm brushed aluminium fans (http://www.highflow.nl/fans/ventilatoren/northq-1/).

http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Sponsorlogo/highflow.png (http://www.highflow.nl)
And tape, lots of tape to protect the case later on.

Because i only know since a few weeks i have to cool down 2 Matrix cards i ordered fans with 1500 rpm now, think 800 rpm won't be enough.
Luckily i could change the red blades without a problem.

Rear fan replaced, also a black fanguard, screws will come later.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070606%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070606%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Lets change the PSU too.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070608%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070608%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Had to change the wiring, the leds didnt work on the low voltage the psu gave to the fan.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070611%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070611%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
So a seperate 12V for the leds now.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070614%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070614%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
All red and 1500 rpm now (max)
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070615%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070615%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Even now still in doubt if i will do the fans on the outside and rads inside or rads outside and fans inside.
Casewindows in the top will be tinted so all the light is no problem.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070617%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070617%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
For future purposes the leds are changeable with one push on the button :)

So again, thanks Freddy (http://www.highflow.nl) for the nice discount !
Finally bought my first dremel :)
(Bargain sale somewhere)

My vacation has started and didn't do anything on the case yet :)
I did practise some.
From the start i had the idea to make the fan/rad guard just like the S21T's little brother.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070701%20%5B550x%5D.JPG
I'm already walking with that idea for 2 weeks now how to do that.
The case is 5mm thick, brushed and black anodized aluminium.
So i guess i can't restore the smallest scratch.
Today i just tried to make such a fan hole in a piece of 6mm thick aluminium.
First had to do some shopping again. (The dremel virus even got me before i started working with it)
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070702%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070702%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
piece of 6mm thick garbage measured out.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070703%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070703%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Still no idea how or what, but i've got to do it with these tools.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070704%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070704%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Forget about a dremel in 6mm alu :P so lets prepare for the jigsaw.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070705%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070705%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Only had a bad quality metalsaw, the woodsaw worked better :/

After sawing, the dremel works out fine.

Grinding the edges from the Bitspower radguard. (Starting to love the dremel :) )
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070709%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070709%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Bending the edges a little more.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070712%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070712%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Tapped the radguard in it's place, in the case itself i will use kit / black glue to hold it in it's place even better.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070718%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070718%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Painted it black for the picture.
In this picture the guard needed a few more taps.

And this is how i want it .... X 3 :)
Next time further on with how i will fasten the rads/fans.

Been busy yesterday with the mod-attic again (Wife's ... :P )

Also been thinking all day how to fix the radiators to the case on the inside without being able to see it on the outside.

Going to use Velcro around the radiators and going to support them with a few layers of 5mm thick rubbertape.

Update.
First of all the nice package from
www.highflow.nl (http://www.highflow.nl)
The footprint on the box did scare the **** out of me but nothing was damaged :)

Because i replaced the PSU fan, i needed another fan, also one to replace the fan blades

Going for Feser Red (http://www.highflow.nl/koelvloeistof/kant-en-klaar/feser-one-cooling-fluid-uv-red.html), liked the colour more. Also some Red Dye to make it darker.

Thanks for the nice discount Freddy, this wouldn't be possible without you!

Got me some new sawing blades for the 5mm aluminium.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070776%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070776%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
And assembled the fans to the rads.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070793%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070793%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Finally could use the black M3 allen bolts.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070794%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070794%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Want to change this somehow
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070796%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070796%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
I think i'll use Bitspower mesh there too.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070797%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070797%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Fast sketch-up for the radiator placement :)

And the case almost completely disassembled.

Hope i'll ever get it working again :P

And taped it with extra smooth tape. (I'll cry if I'll scratch it :P )

Still need to think of something for it.

Even Origen AE works with a black marker when they damage something :)

Back to the fanholes.
Pre-drilling first.
Don't mind the drill's brand ;)

Also taped the jigsaw.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070815%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070815%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Ready to go.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070816%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070816%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
And the first hole is there.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070818%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070818%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Two to go.

And the third!
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070821%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070821%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Now finish the nice round edges.
Wanted to use the dremel, but got myself my file again, needs to be as straight as possible.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070822%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070822%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)

Looking good! :up:
*Update*
Been polishing for 2 hours on the 3 holes to make it as straight as possible with nice round corners.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070835%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070835%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
But finally they fit!
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070836%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070836%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Tape can be removed.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070837%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070837%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Still need to paint the blank aluminum corners.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070838%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070838%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)

Need to be careful with the sawdust, so cleaned it first.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070840%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070840%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
And further on with the plexi front for the Koolance controller.
Taping it first.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070842%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070842%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)

Started off with the dremel again, but the jigsaw won again :)
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070845%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070845%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
And again polishing.

And again polishing it.

And it fits.
Next job like this im going to look for a lasercutting company near me ;)

Nice work so far. Are you going to mount the fans with 2-sided tape as well? It seems like a good choice for almost everything as it looks clean and should damp vibrations a bit. VHB and variants are used in skyscrapers and cars, so naturally it belongs in kickass computers!
Thanks mDust!
Going to use velcro for the Rads, the fans will be mounted with blacm M3 allen bolts to the rads
Small update from Picasso :P
Carefully removed the tiny sharp edge with an old knife.
This way I get a sloping edge of +/- 0.3 mm.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070868%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070868%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Selected the right "black" out of 4 colours to get the best matching colour.
It became Revell mat black #6

Actually not my kind of job, too shaky:)

But i did it! :)

Tomorrow the fanguards back in.

And waste some time on this ;)
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1070881%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1070881%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Lovely weather yesterday, so went out to lap my Cpu :)
This time I'm going to lap it faster then normal.
How to with extensive explanation can be found here:

Cpu still WITH warranty here :)

All you need..
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/Cpu-lapping-2/550px/P1070911%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/Cpu-lapping-2/1280px/P1070911%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Finding a way to protect the backside of the Cpu since Intel doesn’t
give a nice protection cap any more on boxed s1155 Cpu’s.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/Cpu-lapping-2/550px/P1070913%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://tweakers.net/ext/f/8z6S9eQ5smuJ5fBoiCEPHEeV/full.jpg)
So we use marking / painters tape.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/Cpu-lapping-2/550px/P1070915%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/Cpu-lapping-2/1280px/P1070915%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
I’m using some rubber tape too.
This way you have a better grip and don’t get sore fingers.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/Cpu-lapping-2/550px/P1070916%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/Cpu-lapping-2/1280px/P1070916%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Starting with P400.
Only a few “wipes” and … gone warranty. :)
The sanding with P400 is the most important and longest step.
Some people tape the sandpaper to the mirror, but if you hold it tight with your other hand you don’t have to.
Just go from left to right on the paper.
Don’t press on the cpu, just use the weight of your hand.
Every 2 minutes turn the cpu 90° clockwise.

2 Minutes with P400.
Nothing to see yet. :)

You can see clearly this Cpu isn’t flat.

You can see the IHS is completely flat copper now.
Now the real polishing comes.

Now we need to change our strategy.
First of all clean the mirror and the cpu.
This is because the old copper particles can ruin your polish job by rubbing them into the IHS.
Now you don’t go from left to right with the cpu.
Just move in a circle for 2 minutes and then turn the cpu 90° clockwise again.

You can see the copper dust already starts to oxidise.

That plexi work looks really slick. Nice work on re-using the 5.25 slot as a protection cage.
Thanks guys :)
Assembled the case again this week
Quite some work cause of the lcd screen
After that tested if the Velcro would work out.

Don't want too much lights on the outside, i like it this way.
Maybe some red glow from the bottom...

I would urge caution with velcro, At the least I would advise reinforcing it with some 3M double sided tape. The mod looks Awesome! keep up the good work.
Thanks for the warning :)
The velcro doesn't have to hold the rads weight, just to hold it on it's place.
The rad itself wil be standing on a few layers of rubber tape.
Finally some news!
Been busy at work lately but
Had a nice cup of coffee with Asus Benelux this week.
It was really great Rogier!!
He also brought something nice with him ;)

Also this week some news about Exceleram :(
Don't want to tell everything about Exceleram, but i do have to explain something when all of a sudden a sponsor disappears :)
After months of contact with someone from Exceleram all of a sudden i didn't hear anything anymore from them.
I found out by facebook a lot of personnel quit their job there ... inclusive the one I was in contact with ... nice :P
After lots of mails i got to hear after 4 months there weren't any samples left, i do have to go on so i decided to thank Exceleram and wish them the best!
I hope to have some good news in a few weeks!
So this evening I mounted my mainboard and EK block so i can go on measuring.

Got 2 packages this week.
The first one from my modding friend Richard (Kier).
I saw in his buildlogs TJ11 buildlog (http://madebykier.com/2011/08/06/silverstone-tj11-carbon/) he had some spare pci covers cause of 3 GPU's, just the ones i need :)
Thanks m8!

(Don't worry, this isn't final :P )

And the second package..
Couldn't tell anything about it till now..
First of all ...Thanks AGAIN Gregor, Eddy and the rest of EKWB off course for letting me try these products!!

Not going to use Feser for this build.
So glad EK came with coolant just in the colour I wanted!

There won't be an inch of tube in this build.

BitScorpion made my day!
Still in doubt if I´m going to use the Bitspower fanguards (http://www.highflow.nl/index.php?target=products&mode=search&type=extended&match=all&q=Bitspower+guard&pname=Y&pshort=Y&pfull=Y&pkeywords=Y&cid=0&subcats=Y&mid=0&pcode=&price_from=&price_to=&weight_from=&weight_to=) inside the case. The "Enermax Vegas effect" will still be visible if I use them.

Now I received the Bitspower fanguards (http://www.highflow.nl/index.php?target=products&mode=search&type=extended&match=all&q=Bitspower+guard&pname=Y&pshort=Y&pfull=Y&pkeywords=Y&cid=0&subcats=Y&mid=0&pcode=&price_from=&price_to=&weight_from=&weight_to=) I could finally finish the last out of 3 radguards in the case.

Was going to do an update this weekend again but an unexpected package came in.
Had to unpack that first with my daughter, she loves it! (So do I) :)
Here some more photos (http://www.l3p.nl/build/support-from-dremel%c2%ae/) from the unboxing in a higher resolution (2560px), and the products I already had.

Came in contact with Dremel a few months ago.
When I told them I didn't use a dremel at all for my previous project they really wanted me to use their products for any future mods.
Deal! :)

Sweet baby moses, thats a lot of dremel goodies!
Here an explanation why it all takes a little longer then expected :)
Well some packages took a few months to arrive.
Also the 2 Matrix cards from Asus will not find it's place in my mod cause of a little mistake :)
Rogier from Asus Benelux fully compensated this with the best news I could get...
Instead of 2 Matrix cards..... An Asus Mars II !!!! (And yes I want to watercool it :P)
Thanks Rogier, you really rock!!!
Another thing that kept me from going on.. my attic is completely ready to mod there.
The problem is, my 1 yr old daughter sleeps very bad. (Yes she's like her dad, starts living when it's dark)
So I moved the pc downstairs again this weekend. Now i can go on modding in the night ;)
Changed the black and blue Asus GX800 for a black and red Asus GX900

Also been playing again with the RGB leds, want to place 2 strips on both sides for a nice effect.

Maybe going to use an RF controller, going to test this week if that one has a red-glow-up-and-down function.

Going to be a 'pita' to watercool it with these blocks.
One way would be to make new hold-down-plates.

While I was posting these pictures on Facebook I already got an offer from Daniel | Mr3D (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1294962707) to design an EKWB look-a-like fullcover block!!!
Right after I posted Daniel wanted to do that, someone else offered to CNC mill it for me... Thanks a very lot both of you!!!
More news soon :)

I want to thank Rogier and Milan from Asus Benelux and Asus HQ for sponsoring 'L4N' and all the help they offered!!
http://www.l3p.nl/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/asus.png
The 'always smiling' Mr 3D (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1294962707) (design) and Quepee from GoT (CNC milling) both really want to do this!!
Just because it's a challenge for them too!
Here's an update already, it's not finished yet but the basis is there :)
I had to go to work right away
Photos, measuring, info and more photos.
So for who wants to know how that goes .. :)
First a clear picture from the PCB

Daniel could go on with that again.

Still looks boring but more will come :)

Very cool! What program is that? And where did you get the model of your PBC?
TheMainMan
12-22-2011, 11:37 AM
The program is SolidWorks. I think he made the PCB using a clear photo and the dimensions he took.
As TheMainMan said :)
Its Solidworks, we got a clear photo from Techpowerup, I measured the card in all ways and he made the photo on real scale inside solidworks :)
Didn't plan to do anything today but received a package and my fingers started to tingle :)

Still in love with the red GT fins
Problem is I promised to watercool them. :P
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1090603%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1090603%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
But an idea popped in.
Hmm Corsair uses M2.5 ... Don't have them and certainly not longer ones :\
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1090610%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1090610%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Ok re-tap them with M3 ...

The fins work fine, they get pretty hot when cutting them :)

No problem Fuganeter, go ahead :)
Small update :)
Drilling and tapping the small radiator to M4.

And back to the MarsII block :)
Daniel has been very busy with it last week.
Really this guy owns :P

Copper part done.

While he was busy with this I had to think of something for the POM part.
Got a spontaneous idea to recycle the red aluminum parts from the original cooler.
Off course with paint :)
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/26%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/26%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Daniel didn't know what to think of it but we went for it
Time for me to measure again :)
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/27%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/27%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)

And re-measuring. That guy thinks about everything.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/29%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/29%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)

Daniel really liked it a lot at the end too, I'm completely in love! :)
Here the renders.

What do you guys think about it?
Only thing he wants from me is as much possible friends on Facebook, so please go ahead if you can guys ;)
Mr3D a.k.a. Daniel! (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1294962707)
And another small update :)
The top panel.
Was walking around for a while with this idea. Want the plexi window to be flush with the black brushed aluminum.
But with only handwork I don't see it succeed. 0.5mm difference will be visible.
So decided to let the plexi be lasered and then try to get the window in by hand. (Thanks Brian!)
Will also take the opportunity to let the small logo's be lasered too, no names, just logo's.
This is the idea
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/36%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/36%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Then first of all I want to thank Daniel (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1294962707) and Ivo (http://www.facebook.com/Ivoow) again for all the effort. Even till now ( :P ) they still have fun in doing this :)
Blocks for the POM Top and the aluminum backplate.

And the milling :)

Never saw a backplate without bolts or holes in sight before :) (Daniel ftw!)
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/45%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/45%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
The plan is to get it anodized in black and then mill in something.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/46%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/46%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
And then the POM block. Some more explaining here.
For example this is 1/100 of the code the machine will go to create the block. ;)

First a rubber cord a little smaller then the block is placed on the workspace.
This so the machine can suck it vacuum to the plate, off course it shouldn't move a mm.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/48%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/48%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
First the holes and the basis shape.

Then adjust the rubber cord so the machine can go on.

And milling again.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/52%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/52%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)

Wow wow wow wow. Not sure it's appropriate to ask, but how much does something like that cost to do? Where did you get it anodized black like that?
I got no idea what it would cost normally.
And the black part you see is POM :)
Small update :)
(Slowly we're getting there)
First of all I want to announce a new sponsor .. Corsair!
After the Bit-Tech MOTY they contacted me for sponsoring this project.
(If you only knew how glad I am with this!)

And one day later :)
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1090893%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1090893%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Quick preview.

This weekend first saw it in and then a very lot of sanding I guess.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1090905%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1090905%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
And another test.

looking good!
Thanks SXRguyinMA!
Ok ..this is the first and the last time I'm modding a case with 5mm thick walls and a 3mm thick panel :D
First a double layer of painters tape.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1090916%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1090916%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Then re-locating the spot.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1090917%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1090917%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
And double check it.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1090920%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1090920%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Also tightening it very well so I can mark it without moving.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1090922%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1090922%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
And a triple check.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1090927%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1090927%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Drilling the holes was easy :)
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1090931%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1090931%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Also taped the jigsaw and got my MNPC glasses.
(Without glasses it always takes me 1 minute to get something in my eyes :P )
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1090932%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1090932%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
All under it.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1090934%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1090934%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Done sawing.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1090936%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1090936%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
The fitting :/
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1090938%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1090938%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Extra protection for the edges.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1090939%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1090939%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Polishing the round edges.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1090942%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1090942%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Now the straight pieces.
I always use the file skewed, this way you have more surface and you will get it much more straight.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1090943%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1090943%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
3 hours of filing further (yes three!) it finally fits with some power.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1090944%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1090944%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1090946%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1090946%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Need to file the points there where the pressure is too high.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1090952%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1090952%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Finishing it with a small fine file.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1090953%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1090953%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
And getting the old knife back to remove the small curls.
Can't do it with a file since it will have skewed edges again
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1090956%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1090956%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
You can see the difference before and after the knife.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1090960%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1090960%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Painting the edges again with matt black paint.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1090962%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1090962%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1090963%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1090963%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Window in and use rubber glue.
After that remove the remnants again. (Was a kind of a mess)
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1090966%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1090966%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
But don't worry. Removing the tape on the other side for the first results.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1090968%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1090968%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)

And a quick test :)
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1090974%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1090974%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Tomorrow will fill up some minuscule edges with glue. Am tired of it now :)
Must say I'm very satisfied..

This is super rad, loving your work so far.
Thanks again a lot guys!
This time maybe a bit boring update.
Changing, (not)fitting, measuring and some cable management.
(Sorry, no block update yet :) )
First change the quad kit.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100050%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100050%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
With 5 previous kits on other builds it was easy to remove the plates for the red fin fixation.
With 3 out of 4 it was impossible somehow.
Even with a hammer there were 2 sticks I couldn't replace.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100051%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100051%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Did see some horror pictures of removed heatsinks with the ram still on it so didn't want to do that either.
Also had another problem cause of hammering on it with 1 stick.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100052%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100052%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Then carefully drill it by hand.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100053%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100053%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
And the tap by hand.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100054%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100054%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Got it fixed one hour later :)
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100055%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100055%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
2 red leds soldered and sleeved for the powerbutton.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100070%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100070%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Disabled the blue smd leds.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100071%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100071%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Wanted to test this together with the hardware that didn't run for a single minute yet.
(Incl. the hammered Ram and lapped Cpu)
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100072%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100072%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Joy!
Ok... off ... fast ... no water in the cpu block yet :)
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100073%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100073%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Next small problem...
I measured everything at the start...that was for Matrix cards, the Mars is a little longer.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100074%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100074%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Sawing again.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100075%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100075%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Discovering all kinds of convenient stuff in the yacht building industry.
Saw this last week, primer for all kinds of self adhesive stuff like ledstrips
They hang complete ceilings with Velcro with it.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100100%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100100%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Worth a try on the last radiator.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100101%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100101%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Did the corners with 3M Velcro, the edges with isolationtape.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100102%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100102%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Believe it or not ... It works to good .. Can't get it off with my bare hands :P
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100103%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100103%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Had to file the fan on the back radiator after measuring with 7 different kinds of BP fittings to make the angle I wanted.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100104%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100104%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Still 2 prints to hide..
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100105%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100105%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
And the mess on the kitchen table again.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100106%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100106%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Not easy to hide 3 x 8 pin + 24 pin without a 'double bottom'.
Also sleeved the 2 sata cables.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100107%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100107%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Cover on top .. Till later this week :)
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100108%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100108%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Still no news about the copper-block :/
My friend Quepee has been sick quite some days, so he has a lot to catch up at work.
He's all better now so hopefully soon good news!
All I got for you guys is a design for the engraving.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/59%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/59%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
And the backplate came back from the anodiser :)
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/60%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/60%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
These few weeks did give me some time to prepare my next build already :)
(First info and hardware pictures on site, buildlog will follow)
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/Cross/Cross.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/other-builds-mods/cross/all-pictures/)
Apparently my friend Quepee has some trouble finding the right piece of copper for the MarsII block. So me and an other guy started looking for it too, but till now no success yet.
It need to be 155x300x15,5 mm (Copper Cu-ETP?)
If anyone has some tips? Please! :)
And here a 'small' update.
I want to try this DP to VGA converter to use the touchscreen.

I already adjusted the bracket once but I'll have to do it again because the MarsII is 6cm longer then the Matrix card. Also want to mount the Pump controller print on top of it.

Drilling some holes.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100704%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100704%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Seems to fit.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100705%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100705%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
So painting it again.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100706%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100706%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Will be quite some cable management.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100707%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100707%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Also need to do the lighting before I start with the watercooling loop cause of all the wires.
Going to use this controller instead.
It's a Touch remote with RF, so don't have to place any IR eyes :)
Ik ga dus deze controller gebruiken ipv de vorige.
(Will also be used in my next project)

Glad I still had an old black floppy cable.

Nice afternoon soldering with my daughter.

She told me to test it before cutting it in pieces.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100712%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100712%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Glad I did, found a break :)!
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100713%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100713%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Can cut that out now.

Hmm my gas-soldering iron is too hot for this.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100716%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100716%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
So got an other one a few days later.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100717%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100717%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Getting too much work on my neck :)

Almost done.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100719%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100719%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Used some 4-pin PWM plugs to easy-connect it all.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100720%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100720%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)

Lets do the bottom too. First had to remove some stickers and old glue.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1100723%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1100723%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)

Till the next update!
The 'rough' 6kg copper part should be here any moment! :)
I did have some time to post the nice Battle Dragon Gaming Bag I got from Tt esports for this build at lans. At home I will probably use this Keysonic RF (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Ttesports/P1080463%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG) board (HTPC)

The copper block...
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/61%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/61%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
I ordered a piece of 300x155x15,5, this was going to be 6kg.
When I wanted to lift it quickly I had some problems...
Appeared my 'foreign friend' sent a brick of 300x200x20.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/62%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/62%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Price for a piece of copper with these measures in Holland is around €360
Got it for €185 now :)

Today Quepee also engraved the backplate.
He told me he had a plan for the "Inspired by EKWB" text.
Go ahead I said..

I got a stroke :O
INSIRED by EKWB!

that is one big block of copper!!
Indeed.... it cost as much as most mid range cards.... :redface:
Never expected it was that much work and would cost that much.
Now I just want to finish it, no idea if I will ever do something like this again :)
To give you guys something .. ;)
Backplate changed a bit.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/71%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/71%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
And today Quepee started with the front side of the copper.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/72%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/72%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Took it back home carefully to match it with the POM part :P

Well .. we're in love with the block :)

Probably next week the backside.
Oh .. out of curiosity .. :)
Poll: Just Copper or Nickelplated?
Keep it as it is. (http://poll.dezeserver.nl/vote.cgi?pid=380311&aid=1)
Nickel plate it! (http://poll.dezeserver.nl/vote.cgi?pid=380311&aid=2)

keep it as is! that thing is GORGEOUS!!
Still in doubt my friend .. hmmmm
By the way, the copper block went from 10.6kg to 6.4kg now.
After the backside milling it will 'only' weight around 1.8kg :)

I actaully already talked with Red about it ;)
He gave me some very useful tips!
Thanks man!
Received a very nice package this weekend from Ivo.
Sorry for the amount of pictures, didn't know which ones to delete :)
Everything is clickable to 2560 pixels.

Somehow I didn't dare to unpack :P

And actually stared at it for half an hour before doing anything :)
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/83%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/83%20%5B2560px%5D.JPG)
As you can see there isn't much left from the 10.6 kg.
The copper part weight is now exactly 1.8kg.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/84%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/84%20%5B2560px%5D.JPG)
I really think I'm going to nickel plate it.
Copper part is already oxidizing after a few weeks.

That is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Absolutely superb work there.
Thanks a lot guys!
Really can't wait to test it myself :lick:
However some things need to be done and the weather is just lovely here :P
Copper part has been sent to the nickel plater.
So curious how it will look! :)
Meantime.
Highflow sent me 3 'Cpu lapping kits (http://www.highflow.nl/toebehoren/overige-nl-2-3/lap-schuurpapier-set-7-vellen-van-400-t-m-2500-grit.html)' to try polishing the POM part.
(Hopefully this will succeed :) )
Thanks Freddy!

I was looking for O-rings for a while to seal the block.
Luckily Skiryl (http://forum.highflow.nl/members/skiryl/) had some left from a previous project! :)

The 'Inspired by' logo was grey anodised aluminum.

Now I think it should look like the nickel and fittings.

L3p, you owe me a new laptop after making me drool all over it enough to fry it. Give me a bit to figure out what kind I had though, as this one definitely wasn't a cheapo netbook...oh no, this one was top of the line and I'm going to need a modded replacement. I'll let you decide what mods to make.:whistler:
Awwww. ... I'm sorry man! What can I do? :P
(Thanks! :) )

Boy I wish I had the money to do a build like this.
I actually do the same :redface:
Sorry, just a teaser this time ;)
Need some more time for testing/fitting.
Already had to adjust the backplate 'a bit' cause of a small miscalculation.
Very glad I decided to nickelplate it :D

I love the look of polished copper but the nickelplate looks pretty bad ass!
Thanks OvRiDe!
Was a hard decision but I'm glad I took it :)

Plating done by Red right?
Nah it was a bit too expensive to send it over to the US and back for just the plating I'm afraid :/
However I'm really happy with the result.
It all didn't start as I want to last week.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/131%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/131%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
It started with one m3 hole that didn't align.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/132%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/132%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Forgot the pci bracket holder.

And the bottom border of the backplate.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/134%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/134%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
So, let's get the dremel.
Appears this is possible to do :)
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/135%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/135%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
And the raw file.

Made the OD of screw hole smaller.
Love these cutters!

I have to say, all the tiny scratches that were already there are even more visible now in the right light.
However I'm really satisfied!

And the next problem ...... POM :)
When I just got the POM there was a little scratch on it.
I thought lets remove that with some P2500 .....
Well ..forget it.. wish I had asked someone with knowledge before I did that :)
So eventually had to sand the complete top ... what a mess .
When I just touched it with a nail it already had a scratch on it.
It's like high carpet, when you chuck it in 2 different ways.
After some google, reading, and asking people I found out there are a few ways to recover it.
Machining it again, flaming it, sanding it in lots of grits
I chose the way to sand it like I lap a cpu. (And never again :) )

Started with P150, after that P240 (30 min)
You can see you can still easily scratch it with your nail
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/157%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/157%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
90 minutes with P600, P1000 and P1500
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/158%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/158%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Next day my arms already didn't want to go further .. let's continue :P
P2000 it is.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/159%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/159%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
P3000, starts to look like something.

After sanding 3.5 hours I'm done with it :)

Borrowed something from the marsII's younger brother.

I'm satisfied!
Not able to scratch it anymore with my nails or any other softer object then POM. (Weird stuff)

This is easier then I thought.
Put in the rubber, cut it on the exact size and glue it together holding it for 10 seconds.
The 'O-ring glue' smells like superglue. (And sticks to your fingers the same fast way)

Next week hopefully testing it on pressure and the mounting!

So insanely jealous. Plating came along great and the accents of the plating around the edge along with the silver of the Asus it looks just like something Asus could have made.
Thanks for the great compliment man!
Personally I really like the Asus ROG designs :D
Sometimes everything goes as I want ... sometimes not.
That next to my 2 jobs at the moment, got some problems finding time :)
Last week after a 3 hour test I noticed this ...
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/Leaktest/P1110960%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/Leaktest/P1110960%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
So time to get my UV light, maybe I can discover more.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/Leaktest/P1110961%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/Leaktest/P1110961%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Setup.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/Leaktest/P1110962%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/Leaktest/P1110962%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Lights off.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/Leaktest/P1110964%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/Leaktest/P1110964%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Probably 2 small leaks.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/Leaktest/P1110973%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/Leaktest/P1110973%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
So opened it carefully again, maybe I can see more.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/Leaktest/P1110983%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/Asus%20MARS%20II/Custom%20Block/Leaktest/P1110983%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Going to test it once more with a POM remount and 2x serial connected D5's. (This to be really sure)
This time with a new glued big O-ring and small cast O-rings.
Problem could be the distance between some of the M3 bolts (6-7cm) to keep the POM really flat on the copper.
It does seem it's completely flat..
So one solution is to use Loctite Quick Gasket (http://www.amt.nl/upload/39cf35a2-a257-456d-bc76-23b480f2212b_image5449823169424042108.jpg).
Or ... I'm going to add some M3's ... and probably polish the POM again. (I will succeed!! :P )
Anyway, learned something again :)
Second remount + leaktest was a failure too :(

So .. ordered the Loctite quick gasket

Met Rogier from Asus last friday for a coming project and ..
He asked me if he could borrow L4n for an Asus media event next friday.
Told him I couldn't get it fully running that fast, that was no problem.
So he would pick it up next tuesday..
Oops...
Will be some late evenings this weekend :P
First tests without PCB.

After a full leaktest still dry!! :)
Also didn't leave any Loctite
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1120290%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1120290%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
And then I had to remove it again for a full mount..pff
I really had to cut it loose.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1120294%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1120294%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
And clean it for an hour :)

Used and army of heat transfer pads on back and front

And a new layer of Loctite.

Made a quick movie that night of the mess.

Next day.. change the bracket .. for the third time.
This will be on top of the pump controller.

Small idea I got for the ssd's
The backside will be out of sight, but is able to catch light from the RGB leds.
That will give a nice effect on the front side.

Rest of the day ... Bitspower..
My skin let go on my vingers :D
Even sawing the crystallinks .. had to do it with my knife.
Left both of my saws at work :/

Didn't have much time to make pics.
Got 2 hours left tomorrow.
So it will be on the event as below, just the RGB leds and the touchscreen.

When it's back I'll make it 'flowready' and leaktest it completely for multiple days.
And off course some more pictures from the case and MarsII
The loop can still even change, didn't have enough C47's :)
Second remount + leaktest was a failure too :(

So .. ordered the Loctite quick gasket

Met Rogier from Asus last friday for a coming project and ..
He asked me if he could borrow L4n for an Asus media event next friday.
Told him I couldn't get it fully running that fast, that was no problem.
So he would pick it up next tuesday..
Oops...
Will be some late evenings this weekend :P
First tests without PCB.

After a full leaktest still dry!! :)
Also didn't leave any Loctite
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1120290%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1120290%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
And then I had to remove it again for a full mount..pff
I really had to cut it loose.

And clean it for an hour :)

Used and army of heat transfer pads on back and front

Made a quick movie that night of the mess.

Next day.. change the bracket .. for the third time.
This will be on top of the pump controller.

Small idea I got for the ssd's
The backside will be out of sight, but is able to catch light from the RGB leds.
That will give a nice effect on the front side.

Rest of the day ... Bitspower..
My skin let go on my vingers :D
Even sawing the crystallinks .. had to do it with my knife.
Left both of my saws at work :/

And a video on the Asus Facebook where you can see L4n for 3 seconds @ 2:00 :D
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=368991666504515
Now waiting to get it back and resume :)
Thanks Asus!!
Received L4n last week in a perfect state from Asus :)
Been leak testing 2 days to see if it's finally leakfree.....
Finally! :)

With just 2 x D5 at full speed and 1m tube it became pretty hot after a few hours of testing.

This 'small project-in-a-project' has been quite a learning process for me of cooperation, testing, measuring and even more measuring and testing.
I would like to thank the following persons for cooperating on the MARS II block.
Daniel aka Mr3D (http://www.facebook.com/daniel.gask)
Ivo aka Quepee (http://tweakers.net/gallery/122328)
Rogier van Asus Benelux (http://www.facebook.com/asusbenelux)
Gregor van EKWB (http://www.ekwb.com/)
And everyone who I forgot :)
This week some small changes on the SSD's and then I will be testing the loop and hardware of L4n.
After that, mount the MARSII and test it all over again :)
Well .. promised Corsair to do something with the ssd's.
So here we go :)

First remove the sticker.

But have other plans.

In the meantime further with the casebadge while the glue is drying.
One of the nicest badges I've seen.

More then an hour of filing and sanding.

What a week .. 28°C inside and I'm busy with 2 builds :)
To finish L4n I had quite a checklist to walk through.
- Add cables for SSD, Leds and pump.
- Change in RGB Leds and wiring.
- RGB controller/remote died, had to replace it.
- Finding the right coolant color.
- Testing loop + blocks + fan/pump controller without MARS.
- Testing all hardware with loop without MARS.
- Testing loop with MARS in it.
- Full stress test of complete system.
First .. lets add an SDD activity led :)

SSD in action. (2GB copy)
42MQW1YzAdI
Also removed the RGB above the SSD and added RGB between the acrylic of the SSD's

Bringing 3 little cables to their destination out of sight.... 45 minutes :P
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1130053%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1130053%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
RGB controller replaced and proper connection instead of soldering.
Literally removed the radiator 30 times to get it in.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1130058%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1130058%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Then I found out I still had to extend the pump wire. -_-
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1130064%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1130064%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Playing with test tubes in RGB light.
Seems EK blood red looks good in switching red/blue light.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1130065%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1130065%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
First looptest without MARS.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1130066%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1130066%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Loop needed exactly 1 liter.

Never thought something would go easy.
Reservoir isn't the highest point, still it keeps on level nicely and de-aeration works perfect.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1130076%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1130076%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Pump on speedsetting 1, completely silent and enough flow to cool it down.

SSd's and memory ... check.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1130087%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1130087%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Lapped CPU + cooling ... check
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1130088%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1130088%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Leaving it running for the night.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1130128%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1130128%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Right before getting the MARS in I changed something on the contrast of the aluminum text.
(Thanks NOCA!)
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1130129%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1130129%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Not much luck again ... really .. somehow the motorized screen pressed the color-change button of the enermax fan when opening. Cause of that it had blue and red leds on, not something I wanted.
Had to drain the loop and build the pump completely out to reach it and fix it for good.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1130137%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1130137%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Finally testing the full loop!
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1130140%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1130140%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Pump on speedsetting 10

And leaving it for another night.
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1130152%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1130152%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Next day ... testing the complete system.
MARS leds lit :)
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1130156%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1130156%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Pretty scary, don't know what the MARS temps are before I'm in windows.
Quick USB install :)
http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/550/P1130157%20%5B550x%5D.JPG (http://www.l3p.nl/files/Hardware/L3pL4n/1280/P1130157%20%5B1280px%5D.JPG)
Unfortunately.... :(
It seems 1 of the 2 cores isn't getting cooled as it should.
With a furmark stresstest in SLI 1 core goes to 65°C, the other one.. goes slowly up to 100°C and starts to throttle.
I'm almost sure it's the thickness of the heatpads I used, I will have to re-open it again completely.
There are a lot of options I can still try with different combinations of heatpads/paste, sure I can solve it.
However .. going to keep that for another time, tired of it for now.
I'm actually more glad both GPU's still work after enlarging 3 holes in the PCB :)

Atleast the lapped CPU doesn't let me down :)
