That is an incredible build!
Hi guys! update today :P
Lets start up with a few words of frustration... since the cables comes unsleeved... i guess someone would have to pick it up and do some work on it... and guess what! that person would be me -.-
I just tell myself..One day... ill get these bloody cables managed...
a few of em got wrapped up today though, and more to come!
Plug's, Pin's and awesome homemade tools!
As most of you noticed doesnt the HDD cables come sleeved.... only one thing to do in this matter! just pick it all appart, and wish for good luck on the re-assembly ^^
u all remember were the start was....
Some trial and error had to be done before getting a decent result :P
Didnt find anything suitable to push the cables into the sata power plugs, so had to improvice somewhat... turned out great, pushing cables like crazy ^^
Now u see it, now u dont!
Been working on some ideas on how to hide the rest of the cable mess aswell, and believe ive found a good solution ^^
This would be the bottom of a 2 set piece of cable hiders for the majority of the PSU cables, will also house 4 pin molex for misc power in here, and stuff for cathodes and waterpumps :P
Thats all for today folks, update again tomorrow :P
Wow, I'm impressed, and jealous!
Pump choices up next... any ideas guys? ^^
some requirements :
* able to lift 180cm up
* freferably external power supply (dont wanna be dependant on having the computer running)
* preferably cheaper then 150$ each
* need to be able to fit 3x in the widht of 30cm
* atleast 600l/h to get some troughput
How's about one of these guys:
Eheim 1048: ~$75
# Pump output 600 l/h (158 U.S. gal/hour)
# Delivery head 1.50 m/water column (4 ft. 11 in./water column)
# Power consumption 10 W
# Dim: length x width x height 147 x 75 x 118 mm - 5.8 x 3 x 4.7 in.
Eheim 1250: ~$100
# Pump output 1200 l/h (317 U.S. gal/hour)
# Delivery head 2.00 m/water column (6 ft. 6 in./water column)
# Power consumption 28 W
# Dim: length x width x height 180 x 95 x 120 mm - 7.1 x 3.8 x 4.7 in.
Kinda leaning towards the Eheim 1250 atm, just a bit worried it will make alot of noise when it's stressed with high attitudes :P
IDK about the noise any of the Eheim's make, but if you're worried about stressing the 1250 there's always the 1260 @ ~$160. I can't find many stats on it other than it pushes 600GPH (or ~2271 l/h). I imagine it would be a little bit larger than the others though.
stuff tend to change i guess 0.o
ended up with 3x laing DDC 1T
Hi guys!
New update today ! running really low on materials now, all from alu to steel, and the plexi have yet to arrive.... so somewhat in a standstill now, ah well.... found a few parts to work on anyways ^^
Whats been done:
* PSU mounts done
* Middle mobo plate mounted
* Front and backplate of mid module finally popped in place
* Started working on consealing the middle PC aswell as all the cables that comes with em
* 2x 240 and 2x 360 radiators arrived
* ordered up 12x 120mm fractal design 16db fans
* ordered up 3x laing pumps
* ordered up hosing and "coolsleeves"
The mobo plate
Well... as you prolly know by now, the PC thats gonna manage most of the disks will be placed in the middle module, up front on the middle module to be exact ^^
Had to file down the back of the spacers to make sure the mobo plate was in touch with the front plate
Drilled a bunch of holes, and popped stuff into place^..
The PSU mount
cmon, its basically just 2 plates of alu with holes in em, not gonna go further into that venture ^^
The secret!
Wonder whats gonna hide behind the lower disk rack... :P oh, and tape measure ftw ^^
Might be able to get some work done tomorrow aswell, time will tell ^^

An extremely well constructed enclosure.
The design features many unique qualitys.
