Hiya Guys and Girls,

I am back again with yet another new build that i hope you all will enjoy as much as my Requiem (http://www.overclock.net/t/1104601/requiem-revamp-build-log) ,Venom (http://www.overclock.net/t/1185625/project-venom-nzxt-phantom-build)and Mass Effect 3 NZXT Switch 810 (http://www.overclock.net/t/1222200/completed-mass-effect-3-nzxt-switch-810-build-log-sponsored)Builds.


Index Will be in the 2nd Post of this Log to make viewing the Log more enjoyable.


I have been doing allot of Case Mods lately,the ones you guys have seen and a few were for relatives so i really wanted to do something a little different. Also I am still not ready to release a Scratch build yet as i want that to be very special when i do.

I have been Totally Fascinated of a company in Italy (Being Italian Myself) named Dimastech. I have seen the guy with the username Dimas doing some insane things with subzero cooling and building some crazy high quality Machines first. After noticing that i seen he also owned a company and as i mentioned it was Dimastech . One look one his website and i was blown away ! I was just going to go out and buy one of their benches as they are very reasonably priced and Extremely High Quality.But i decided on something else. Since i was already doing Sponsored builds i thought this would be the perfect chance to show the world Dimastech Benches but in my own special way.

First off as i start all my Projects:

Here is the Victim !

(Rads in Photo are not included with Bench)

Update # 2


Ok i Guess there is some stuff i can start showing now as far as hardware and things like that.

So lets Get to it :


Here is the Motherboard i got for the build and you have no idea what i nightmare i went through with the first one. But its not something i want to talk about in this build log:

"Asus Rampage Extreme IV X79"

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/995535/width/500/height/1000

And the CPU is not what i originally purchased for this build . But damn nice either way:

"Intel Core i7-3930K Sandy Bridge-E 3.2GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 2011"

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/995537/width/500/height/1000

And of course there is the Ram. As always i went with Dominators as i have always had great luck with them and never a Ram issue ever :

"16 Gig's Corsair Quad Channel Dominator's 2133C9 1.5v"

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/995556/width/500/height/1000


And of course the Bench arrived Thanks to the Great people at Dimastech. (Will be much more on them later in the build log)

I find the stickers on this box extremely funny as i could probably run this bench over and not hurt it much . Yet it says Fragile. (Although it did come all the Way from Italy to the USA so i am very glad it came that way. Also shows the quality of Dimastech and how much they care for their Products and customers.

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/995557/width/500/height/1000

Ok that's it for This Update Now. Just wanted to show some of the Major hardware first. Then i will go over what each Sponsor sent in Updates and of course all the modding Photo's and Update's will be here. There will be allot of them so while i am waiting on certain parts might as well get these updates out there to you guys.

Tons More to come so keep watching, as we only just begun !

Take Care Guys

MybadOmen

[mDust]

That's a freakin' nice bench to start with.

It may be quiet around here, but we're watching...usually drooling too.:D

[mybadomen]

Update 3


A package arrives from EKWB and as always they have been backing me up on my Projects and im Honored and Proud to stand behind their name and Products.

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/999652/width/350/height/700

Here is my EK stuff that i have at camp with me and as you can see i use only EK Cooling in my builds.

(Some bought and some Sponsored)

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/999681/width/350/height/700

Here is the box that arrived for this Dimastech Build .Unfortunately its not the new CSQ design do to the build started before CSQ was ready but hopefully EK will still be with me for my next Mod which i have a feeling will be another NZXT. CSQ or not its still EK and i love both designs so lets see what they sent for this build.

A big brown Box all the way from Slovenia to the USA. What could it possibly be !

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/999704/width/500/height/1000

Wow this is where it all starts. Those shiny little boxes will soon be a killer water cooling system pushing 6 cores / 12Threads to 5ghz or more we hope.

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/999711/width/500/height/1000

And here it is all Spread out and I realized i forgot something which was more G1/4 Fitting extensions. I asked for another 20 and he sent 30 just in case. A+ Service.

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/999715/width/500/height/1000

At this point in time i have moved to Camp for 5 months where i live and also Mod here during that time.

And another Brown box From EK and once again all the way from Slovenia to New Hampshire USA this time.



http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/999721/width/500/height/1000


And inside this one the rest of the stuff to complete the build that's needed from EK that is:

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/999727/width/500/height/1000


So what we have for EK parts for this build is:

1 EK HF Supreme CPU Block Nickel/Plexi
1 EK HF Supreme Bracket in Nickel (to swap out the original Black one)
x2 EK FC7970 Blocks Nickel/Plexi
x2 EK 7970 Ram plates in Black as that's the only color they made at the time
x2 EK D5 Pump tops
x2 EK XTX 360 Rads (These things are huge)
x2 EK-Multioption RES X2 - 250 Advanced Reservoirs
x2 EK X4 Dominator Ram Blocks Nickel/Plexi
1 EK-FB KIT RE4 Nickel/Plexi (Motherboard blocks for the RIVE)
1 EK Indigo extreme kit
roughly 50 fittings (Compression/45's,90's extensions)

If i left anything out i will edit the post later .

And here is some of the Hardware on as i tested the new motherboard right away when i got it. (All blocks are not on in the photo)

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/999783/width/500/height/1000

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/999791/width/500/height/1000


And here is where you can get your own EK products including their new improved CSQ Line !

http://www.ekwb.com/shop/


Take Care and see you next update. As i mentioned earlier i will try to show all parts going into the build and then me using them. I figured this is the best way if your interested in building a Mod and curious how to do ,where to get parts,different methods of building etc.


Lets all give EKWB a huge thank you for supporting me on this project.


Keep watching as there will be plenty of Modding soon enough to watch.

The plans i have for this build is to be Very Flashy Yet a Monster at the same time.

There are 2 Types of Fans going to be used. 1 Type will be for the Bling Factor and the other will be for the for the grunt power needed to push through my Rads.


Here are the first Fans the 8 LEPA Choppers 120mm for the Bling and they will also be cooling of course also:



http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1014142/width/500/height/1000

[mybadomen]

That's a freakin' nice bench to start with.

It may be quiet around here, but we're watching...usually drooling too.:D

Lol i was wondering why i never really see no comments. But as long as 1 person is watching then that's good enough for me :)

[Fuganater]

I'm watching but I'm waiting to see the actual modding...

[Stonerboy779]

I'm watching but I'm waiting to see the actual modding...

+1

No modding here yet :D

[mybadomen]

Sorry Guys waiting on Acrylic so best to get the gear shown then nothing.

Trust me will be Tons of Modding updates to see.Just look at my other Logs :)

Like i said though Hands Tied without the Acrylic as that will be the base of the Project!

Looks like 2 more weaks Tops im hoping to have it by. Will also have a 2nd Build going on also during this one so will be plenty to watch guys . Doing my best with i have right now to keep you updated.

Take Care and Hang in there

UPDATE 5 !


http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1022795/width/350/height/700


Hiya Guys ,

Today i decided to make a big day and expose the plans for the Dimastech Build. So i Hope you guys enjoy it !


I was trying to decide for a while one what to do with a Dimastech bench that hasn't been done yet and that i personally like and am hoping you guys enjoy also.
As i said before this build will be super flashy with different colors and flashing lights ,Light shows etc. The reason for this is the build is going to be a Jukebox.
Or really i should say my idea of a Jukebox with allot of power under the hood. As usual the build will be a difficult one but should come out amazing if it looks anything like
what i see in my head.

That being said i want to make it VERY clear this Photo is only the Base design of the case and nothing more. Tons of the design is missing.This is the starting point that i will build off.

The build will be boxed in also and there will be tons of Polished Aluminum or Chrome on the outside also. Plus the front will have doors that open and close to work on the build or swap out motherboards etc. Tons of stuff still not determined until i get the acrylic you see and reservoirs in place as the Motherboard may be standing Vertical also in this build.

Also another thing that's very important the name of the build. It says Dimas Box right now on the sketch but that's not set in stone yet as you can see the build log still has no name.
Would really love yours guys Opinion on a name for this build seeing its a monster build , its Dimastech and its a Jukebox sorta concept. So please shoot me some names now that you see the rough sketch of the build:

Even the reservoirs for this build are being Custom Made at a whopping 2 foot 1 inch long each ! The plan is also to have a cover for the reservoirs thats follows the arch up and around to the other res like a real jukebox would look.


Well Here is the Very Base only of the build. Even Colors are not definite at this moment in time.


I would now like to Introduce you to my Latest Mod and say thank you for your Support guys:

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1022779/width/500/height/1000

And the Hardware so far. Have the Second GPU but its not mounted at the moment as it is not working properly. (2 x 7970's)

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1022791/width/500/height/1000


Thanks for Watching guys and keep watching as this photo shows nothing to what i have in store for this build !

UPDATE 6 !


Ok i have been doing a little work on the hardware part of the build but still cant do much until Acrylic arrives as the base of the build is the Acrylic .

Thank being said i pulled out the Motherboard for the Project which is the Asus Rampage Extreme IV X79 and the 3930K CPU i will also be running in this build.

The hardware has already been tested just to make sure i wasn't going to get any surprises after it was to late to return to where i bought them from. (I highly recommend this to anyone doing a build like this or any build for that matter).


First off here is the Motherboard with the CPU sitting in it :

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029699/width/350/height/700

Next was to get a CPU Water block and that was an EK HF Supreme Sponsored by EK as is all the EK stuff you see in this build. But i didnt like this Black bracket so i also ordered one in Nickel to match the rest of the fittings and blocks.

The Black Bracket that had to Go!

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029702/width/350/height/700

And a couple Photos of the CPU block after the new Nickel bracket has been installed. (If thinking of changing this bracket ,realize that the block does have to come apart and the o-ring will need to be cleaned and re installed so its not a simple task to change it.)

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029705/width/350/height/700

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029706/width/350/height/700


Ok so the CPU block was all set and CPU was Mounted and of course i have photos ove everything but the Thermal paste instillation . I use all Methods but for this mount i went with the X pattern.

Also i added the nice new Set of Dominator Ram Blocks from EK for my 16 gig of 2133 Quad Channel C9 Ram and Installed them on the board for testing that the hardware did work.

Photo's of the EK Ram blocks and CPU block mounted: (Starting to look pretty nice now)


http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029741/width/350/height/700


Next here at the 2 Sapphire (Reference) HD7970's that will be pushing the graphics in the Dimastech build. Both Fitted with EK Nickel Plexi Blocks.These will also be tested at the same time.

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029746/width/350/height/700

And everything sitting in the old "Venom" case as it was basically all still together and easy to get testing the hardware right away.

Allot of glare from this photo so best i could do.

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029756/width/350/height/700


Ok now the hardware has been tested its time to tear it all apart again and get 2 more blocks on that Rampage Extreme IV and thats the matching Nickel Plex EK Mosfet and Chipset blocks. But that will be the next Update.


Thank You EKWB & Primochill for making this Update Possible !


Keep watching tons to come and im sure this is gonna be a good one !

MybadOmen

[mybadomen]

Update 7 !

This Update i will be adding the Mosfet and Chipset Blocks from EK to the motherboard. I wanted it to be kinda a tutorial but it was late at night and photos came out terrible so i will do the best i can with what i have:

Again like i would like to Thank EKWB for Sponsoring me on my builds.


First off this is where we left off after testing the board and pushed it to 5Ghz on all 12 Threads so pretty sure the hardware is in great shape. (Actually ran the setup for roughly 1 weak)

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029818/width/350/height/700


Here is the Stock Mosfet Block we will be swapping to the EK-FB RE4 Mosfet Nickel Plexi water block.:

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029826/width/350/height/700

And here is the stock chipset cooler that will also be replaced with the same EK kit.

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029831/width/350/height/700


And here are the 2 absolutely beautiful water blocks from the EK-FB RE4 KIT.

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029835/width/350/height/700


I will be using MX4 Thermal Paste as that's what i have on hand right now.

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029840/width/350/height/700


Most important to me to have on hand before starting are my Worry Dolls! So with them in hand we can get started ...LOL.

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029846/width/350/height/700

Ok lets get started First off remove all the screws holding the blocks on the Motherboard. Its best to follow the manual just to be sure with hardware of this Value!

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029844/width/350/height/700

Next you want to gently pull the old block assembly from the board not forgetting to unplug the chip-set fan first though . Sometimes these blocks can be a little tough to get off from the stock thermal Pads and compounds but this one came off pretty easy.

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029852/width/350/height/700

And the naked board . (Sexy ) lol

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029903/width/350/height/700

K first we will start with cleaning the Mosfets ,new blocks and the old thermal paste from the chipset. There are different things you can use to clean i have seen everything from goo be gone to Alcohol to special cleaners made just for the task. Today i will just use Alcohol and cotton swabs and pads. (Sorry i didn't take Photos of the cleaning but its pretty common sense. You clean the spots the old blocks came off :)

But here are the Pads i used and the Cotton swab we all know of.

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029857/width/350/height/700

After cleaning the Mosfets real good i and others recommend a tiny bit of Thermal paste just to hold the Thermal pads which you will see in a minute in place. Again MX4 was used here and it should look like this. (Barely any at all on each)

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029859/width/350/height/700

Here are those thermal pads i was talking about. It comes as 1 Pad and is used only on the Mosfet Block. First thing you want to do is cut it evenly in half. There is a backing on the both sides so DO NOT forget to remove this or it will make quite the mess and could seriously damage your board!

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029861/width/350/height/700

Now just nice and neatly cover the Mosfets. It should look something like this when you are done:


http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029864/width/350/height/700

Horrible Picture but next apply thermal paste to your freshly cleaned Chipset:

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029867/width/350/height/700

Next part its important to read the manual that Came with your EK kit because some revisions may require to use different screws as EK is always changing and Improving their products!

So at this point its best to get all your hardware setup and handy as you are going to have to hold the block in place and turn the motherboard to get the screws in. This is why we put the tiny drops of thermal paste on the chipsets ,so the Thermal pads stay in palace during this step! A friend nearby would be very handy for this part but i was not that lucky as everyone was sleeping.

Hardware Ready to go!

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029870/width/350/height/700

Next set the Chipset Block in Place trying to line it up perfect the first shot with the screw holes to avoid making a mess of the fresh thermal paste you just applied.

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029876/width/350/height/700

Carefully hold the board on its side and apply the screws. (I found the Motherboard Box foam helped for this part to avoid hurting the board)

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029878/width/350/height/700

Now we are going to repeat the same steps for the Mosfet block besides 1 difference. On the back of the Mosfet block we will be replacing the stock back plate that came with the original Mosfet block. So apply the screws while on its side just like with the chipset and it should look like a motherboard complete with EK Liquid Cooled Mosfet and Chipset!

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029882/width/350/height/700

Next you can add your other blocks if you chose to go that route,depending on ram etc. Which in my case i will be adding Ram blocks and Gpu blocks

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029886/width/350/height/700

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029888/width/350/height/700

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029891/width/350/height/700


Hope i did an alright job on this Mosfet and Chipset water block instillation. Like i said i did my best with what i had for Photos. I had over 160 Photos .Lol these are the best i could get from them.


Also for those of you looking to get yourself some nice Water blocks or other high Quality water cooling parts here is the company i swear by and use on all my builds for blocks and Fittings.

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1029898/width/350/height/700

Thanks For watching guys and as usual for all your support you have given me through many builds so far.I will try and make you all proud again with this build. Lol once the Raw materials get here so i can go crazy on it.

Take Care

Update 8 !


Hiya Guys and sorry for the delay with updates. Its as frustrating to me as it is to you guys trust me. A few things are held up at the moment that is slowing me down a bit but pretty soon i should be good to go (Lets Hope).

Anyway i did get 1 thing out of the way that was a real hassle and that was i wanted to run all EK blocks but staying True to EK and only using their fittings. I ran into problem after problem trying to get it right using mainly 45 degree and 90 degree angles with a few extensions. It was like a puzzle that just didn't look right any way i put it.Finally i got it to where i like it and i think it looks half decent and once the Gpu's are both in it should look really good.

The GPUs will be set up where the top card is blocked on the top with 2 plugs, then there will 2 short pieces of tubing and 4 fittings between the cards to match the top nicely. The entrance and exit to the GPU's will come from below the bottom card.


1 GPU i am using till its time to actually install it so here is what is set up now. Please let me know your Opinions .

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1036741/width/500/height/1000

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1036748/width/500/height/1000


Not really an Exciting update of some cool Mod but all these small details will be important in the end to make the final build look really nice.

Hope you Like it. And keep watching or subscribe if you haven't yet .

Take Care

MybadOmen

[Fuganater]

Nice to see you were able to get it all worked out with only EK fittings.

[mybadomen]

Thanks Mate and yeah it was like a puzzle . I must have put it together 100 different ways before finally just saying enough time messing with this . :) Yeah it finally grew on me so im happy with it now.

[mybadomen]

UPDATE 9 !

Acrylic Laser cutting is done and now here ready to go. There will be more work done to the Acrylic but that i will do in house. Huge Thanks goes out to Tyler Industries for there great Acrylic work.

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1100068/width/500/height/1000


Also the 2 custom Primochill CTR reservoirs have arrived. These reservoirs are not yet released and have been made to a custom length or 24 inches long for the build by Primochill. Release Date on the Primochill CTR Reservoirs is Nov 1st and i have been messing with them for a while now and they are very high quality and incredible looking reservoirs.

Photo of one of them as the other is in the box to avoid getting damaged as i work.

Also have been messing with different color coolants from Primochill's new "Intensifier" Product line. These Dyes are amazing from what i have seen so far. here are a few samples i made just messing around but i still haven't decided for sure the final color going into the JukeBench build.

Here is a white which was made by adding 2 15mil Primochill Intensifier Base bottles to a whole gallon of distilled. (Only 1 15 mil bottle of Base if going to color it , 2 bottles is just for white)

Photo of the white in action (Could easily make more white or less white )

Pink anyone? Just a light pink as i was messing around before changing coolant colors.I was aiming for Pepto Bismal color just for fun.

This Blue came out really cool also but wont be the color for the JukeBench.

Update 10!


Been busy all weekend working on JukeBench mostly Acrylic work. Didn't finish in time for the update i was planning on as some dimensions are a little off and its my own fault of course :) .. Really not a big deal just a little bit of cutting to do.

Here are some of the design dimensions but i have changed them allot for the final Build as in the name will be changed and the way the top and sides are mounted will be different.

Anyway here's the dimensions of JukeBench:

I will try and get this weekends UPDATE up as soon as possible.It seems every time i get moving on it something comes up and i get delayed again.But as i said before this build is in no rush and will end up being my own personal Bench.

Take Care guys and will get you that Update soon as possible.

UPDATE 11 !

Hiya Fellow Modder's /Overclocker's/Folder's and Gamers. As promised i am back to release another update one the JukeBench build. I didn't sleep at all through the night just so i can finally get some progress going to show you guys. Even though like i said there is no rush on this Mod.

Ok i will stop blabbing and get right to it. This update is me starting to build the actual Jukebox base onto the Dimastech bench.


Here is the bench all stripped down again ready to Mod and then paint. Ant the Acrylic is sitting on tops with a protective layer on it all. Just thought id mention that before people ask why i am using wood.

Materials:

http://c2cmods.com/dbtgallery.php?do=gallery_image&id=1021&gal=privgallery&type=full

First thing i had to do was make a way to Squish the Acrylic between a piece of Aluminum which will strengthen the acrylic so it don't crack and just help to keep it sturdy. Also i wanted it to be removable if i ever wanted to remove it.

This is what i did: I first needed a 2 1/2" wide by 16 3/4" long aluminum plate for each side. So i measured that out to make a base line to go by on both sides.

http://c2cmods.com/dbtgallery.php?do=gallery_image&id=1022&gal=privgallery&type=full

These dots represent 2 1/2" plus they are also in a particular spot for what you will see in a bit.

http://c2cmods.com/dbtgallery.php?do=gallery_image&id=1023&gal=privgallery&type=full

Clamping the ruler assures a nice straight line by avoiding any movement drawing on long runs.

http://c2cmods.com/dbtgallery.php?do=gallery_image&id=1024&gal=privgallery&type=full

Here im about to cut the 2 1/2" x 16 3/4" Aluminum plates from this sheet of Aluminum. Always wear safety glasses like the ones you see me using, as i have been in the hospital on more then on occasion with metal in my eye. Not fun.

http://c2cmods.com/dbtgallery.php?do=gallery_image&id=1025&gal=privgallery&type=full

By the way these are the best safety glasses i have ever worn and you can get your own set at Mnpctech and they are incredibly inexpensive and also very High quality.

Ok Just Marking the measurements out:

http://c2cmods.com/dbtgallery.php?do=gallery_image&id=1026&gal=privgallery&type=full

And finally off and Modding. I used that guide on the jigsaw 2 times and ended up having to finally cute then freehand.

http://c2cmods.com/dbtgallery.php?do=gallery_image&id=1027&gal=privgallery&type=full

2 nice pieces of Aluminum. For those that don't know Aluminum can be wet sanded and polished to look very similar then chrome. But its better then chrome :)

http://c2cmods.com/dbtgallery.php?do=gallery_image&id=1028&gal=privgallery&type=full


Just lining them up but wont finish them till the end so i don't scratch them up:

http://c2cmods.com/dbtgallery.php?do=gallery_image&id=1029&gal=privgallery&type=full

These are the holes that will go through the Aluminum and Acrylic and the Bench will be threaded.

http://c2cmods.com/dbtgallery.php?do=gallery_image&id=1030&gal=privgallery&type=full


This always scares me is drilling through thin acrylic. To fast of the bit grabs . Big Crack.. Luckily all went smooth..

http://c2cmods.com/dbtgallery.php?do=gallery_image&id=1031&gal=privgallery&type=full

Ok there is a photo missing here . It should have been me drilling the Bench holes out but. I had the camera in 1 had and drill in the other.Dropped the drill and broke the bit. So no photo .Lol

http://c2cmods.com/dbtgallery.php?do=gallery_image&id=1032&gal=privgallery&type=full

Speaking of breaking things. This is what happens sometimes when trying to tap without cutting oil. I am painting the case shortly so i don't want any oils near the Bench at all.

http://c2cmods.com/dbtgallery.php?do=gallery_image&id=1033&gal=privgallery&type=full

Success ! and yes those are the long hard drive screws that usually have a rubber grommet. Worked perfect for this.

http://c2cmods.com/dbtgallery.php?do=gallery_image&id=1034&gal=privgallery&type=full

Just to show how sturdy it is this way .The bench is on its side and the acrylic isn't really to light but its also a success so far.

http://c2cmods.com/dbtgallery.php?do=gallery_image&id=1035&gal=privgallery&type=full


Starting to look like something.

http://c2cmods.com/dbtgallery.php?do=gallery_image&id=1036&gal=privgallery&type=full

You can see in this Photo my design was a little flawed but just a few minute fix. This will be the Back of the bench with a 220mm Exhaust Fan. Remember this build isn't just cute its also a Monster!

http://c2cmods.com/dbtgallery.php?do=gallery_image&id=1037&gal=privgallery&type=full

And no i didn't sniff it. Lol anyway the Acrylic Glue (Will have to sit for 24 hours before moving on )

http://c2cmods.com/dbtgallery.php?do=gallery_image&id=1038&gal=privgallery&type=full

Can you see her in your head yet? Omg i hope she keeps looking better and better.

Ok here is the last Photo for this update. Before i post it i want to tell a little story. I was reading build logs randomly like i always do and i came across this guys building Phase changers or something crazy insane. His username was Dimas. I started following his work and started seeing more and more of his Benches. I fell in love with the Easy/Hard 2.5 bench which is what you see me Modding. Anyway i found out it was Italian made. Come on everything Italian made is incredible quality. I cant remember how it actually happened but they seen i loved the bench and somewhere along the line i ended up Building a Sponsored Dimastech Bench which was a nice break from doing case. Plus i never hardly game i Benchmark and Overclock and thats about it mainly. I do play the campaigns on most new games though.

Anyway when i got my sponsors this is what i was going to Build. (Those who know me ,know i change everything right in the middle of a build sometimes) Anyway this one i really changed and im sure i will more before its over.


First Design : http://c2cmods.com/dbtgallery.php?do=gallery_image&id=1012&gal=privgallery&type=full

I know some of you are probally saying wow that would have been cool. And yes it would have but not unique enough for me. JukeBench is perfect because it makes no sense at all.. A Total beast of a PC that can handle LN2 ,DICE or just hefty watercooling and i wrapped in in a funky jukebox. But the Jukebox is set to the RoG theme for colors.


Anyway just thought id tell you guys a little story about the build since you had to wait so long for an Update.


Last Photo.. Thank You Dimastech !!!

http://c2cmods.com/dbtgallery.php?do=gallery_image&id=1040&gal=privgallery&type=full



Welders up and running with a brand new spool of good wire ,Replaced my Air compressor so that's ready to go .

So Stay Tuned Much More Modding to Come !

Don't forget to check out my New Phantom 820 Mod that i will be doing the same time as this one.


I'll be back soon my Friends so stay safe and take care... (Wear you Safety Glasses ! ) :)

Nice to see this moving

Update 12!

This update is just short and sweet its a Photo of the base pretty much together to start building off of. Board in the center was just for support till the glue was fully cured.It has since been removed.

http://i1289.photobucket.com/albums/b504/mybadomen/DimastechJukeBenchUpdate12_zps1250e89a.jpg

And of course the update wouldn't be complete if i didn't show the heart and soul of this monster JukeBench and that's the Asus Rampage Extreme IV X79 fitted with an i7-3930k and 16 Gigs of Quad channel Corsair Dominator's C9 2133mhz. Also as you seen in photos about its fitted with every water block imaginable from EK.Also to add to the Horsepower is a Pair of HD7970 Gpus at 1250/1750.

Seriously tell me this don't look like a v8 getting ready to go in a street rod :) Can tell where my background was before PC's.

And here it is the belly of the beast :

Hope you guys like it so far ..Keep watching for more soon.

Take Care

Update 13!

Getting ready to drill the holes and cutouts to mount the new parts i got from Mnpctech. I got 2 PC Mod Digital Thermometer's to give me the ambient temps inside the JukeBox part of the build and the other one to give me either the outside ambient temps or inside where the rads and PSU will be sitting. (Most likely outside the case Ambient) And because the will look cool on the Mod of course :) ..

Also i will also be adding the Popular Billet Machined Aluminum Case Feet from Mnpctech to the bottom of the bench to give it a really cool look.I love the small details like that it really sets a build apart.This will be my first time using these feet but i seen them on many builds and had to have them.

Here is a quick Peek of them before i start Installing them .

Seriously tell me this don't look like a v8 getting ready to go in a street rod :) Can tell where my background was before PC's.

that was exactly the first thing i thought of when i saw it. the led fan looks like a big ole v8 air filter on top.
