lol talk about doing ur sponsers proud!!!
Haha, yeah, I figured that would be the best way to show gratitude for the awesome stuff that they are sending me :)
The search continues for my sponsor lol. All I want is a pump. I may get in contact with DD directly rather then one of their retailers.
More pics for you guys, the hardware came in and I got a lot of the wiring done as well as the actual computer itself setup :)
Hardware installed, no video card or plumbing yet.
Closer look at the socket area:
I'm really happy with how the wiring turned out on this one... and its not even done yet!
Got the plumbing halfway done.
Put a fan in there to cool off the chipset:
A few really neat shots of the socket area:
And here is the system in a VERY raw state, the front panel is still having work done on it, as is the top panel, but the chassis is there!
And to all the naysayers regarding Danger Den:
QX9650, on a radiator with one low speed fan and an MC-TDX:
looks cool but grey water? and wtf are those things at the front first pic above the fans?
Lol, the water is clear, those are air bubbles you are seeing... they will be gone eventually.
Not sure what you mean about what "those things" are... I have some HDD and an LED strip above the front radiator...
must be a hdd cooler or something nevermind
oh ok i was like wtf? with the water but that makes sense
They ARE the HDDs, rear mounted to help cable management.
Ass whooping set up you got there!!!!
:( i didnt know i should do that with my soprano looks cool and clean
Thanks for the kind words guys!
Going to be getting the front panel mounted up properly tonight hopefully, and maybe get the LCD bezel cut out too... We shall see.
Got pics of the internals taken, along with a few beauty shots... nothing major as far as modding goes, but the wiring is done for the most part:
Internals:
In Light:
Dark:
External:
Light:
Dark:
Of course its not done yet, still the entire top panel and second WC loop to do, but I'm 3rd base!

Cool. I like the UV effect.
She turned out well. Only the top to go new ey?
Haha, yeah, then all the little details like wiring, paint chips, waxing, getting the loops right, etc.
But the majority of the hard work is done.
impressive stuff. i wasn't sure of the DD cover until i saw it in the dark with the lighting going. works very nice that way. and i'm sure your sponsors approve.
can't wait to see the top cover with the "cock pit" set up. i'm sure it will be quite kewl.
Well I can only pray that you didn't quit on me... because I have new pics, new work done, and I'm almost there!
So I'm modding the Dominator Airflow fan, because I wanted to put some fans in there that would match the rest of the fans in my case... that won't be too hard I don't think!
There they are, getting ready to be soldered... nine wires into three. I won't bore you with all the rest of the crap, as its messy, lame, and unimportant... suffice to say that it works, as you will see soon!
I also got my spotlights setup behind the PALIT logo... you can see this in the shots below.
Side Shot:
Another Side:
Fan controller being used to run the radiator fans:
BAM! Check out that setup... I'm really happy with how that turned out.
A shot of the whole thing:
And the Palit logo:
There will be one more set of pics (the top panel), then its off to the LAN, and we will see who wins. My sponsors Danger Den and Palit will be there with some SUPER cool stuff that I cannot yet reveal, however once I have my hands on it, it is open season and I will let you all know about it.
That RAM cooler looks hot mate.
And it is finished... well, some touchups to do, and some hardware to install still, but this is as good as it is going to get before the LAN.
Yeah... same old thing.
But wait... whats that on top?
Oh yeah.
Feedback is welcome :)
Awesome.. +rep
A bloody fantastic result mate. Awesome result. +rep

I can understand though, and I wanted to open up airflow down there, so I have to look into my options.
Hey guys.
So, I forgot to update.
I bought the system to PDXLAN, finished for the most part. I was filling the top radiator when I realized there was a giant hole in it. Whoops. I had about a liter of water spill onto my system, and the system shut down.
I waited.
The next night, the guys from CPU Magazine asked me to enter it anyways.. I did what I could to get it back up and running properly, and they took pics. They all liked it, however I was ineligible since the system was in pieces and water stains were abound.
But all was not lost.
Palit (my sponsor) requested that I bring the system with me to Nvision to display. Thus, I need to get this thing looking REALLY pretty if it is going to be on public display in such a large place. I will keep you guys in the loop on the entire process, round 1 (trip to the hardware store) begins this weekend.
Pics that a friend took at PDXLAN will be posted when I get home tonight.
BTW, I couldn't use the airforce logo as I had wanted to, the design wouldn't work for the front panel, and in addition to this, Danger Den sponsored me, so I used their logos for my front panel.
Stay tuned guys, I'm going to need all the advice I can get on this one.
Dex
Sucks about the hole mate. At least they liked it though. Can't wait for the pics and good luck with Nvision.
Lights on:
Lights off:
I will update again this weekend when I get the stuff I need to fix the issues (most of which are not visible thanks to crafty picture taking).
Feedback is not only welcomed, but requested.
That turned out beautifully mate.
yea sure did looks sweet
great concept i really like the liquid cooling color...very coool +props
looks nice, nice work!
One of my favorite builds, even if this is a thread necro.
Also, every time I see the title I think of the ZZ Top album by the same name.
