Very pretty build you got going there. One of my next builds after 8Core is done, is building a quad PC case. Going to house all of my computers, a BBU, and a KVM switch for use of one keyboard, mouse, and monitor for the 4 systems. Its going to be a beast. Going to build it very similar to how you have done this.
Ah, KTM I thought that orange paint in one of your previous builds looked familiar 8) Awesome build.
Those HDD cage mounts turned out very well, they are great, nice work.
Thx guys =)
And Karbon : u could easily fit another mobo in this case aswell =) good luck furter on ^^
:O
wow thats gunna rock...
Absolutely in-sane. But I like it. Great work.
I once made a dual pc on google sketchup and thought that was pretty huge lol :redface:.
Did not really think I would see an absolute monster pc like this on here but there it is coming to form, nice one, all those hdd's Holy Moly:D those 5mm thick hdd support supports which killed 1 jigsaw blade for each one lol, would like to know what it weighs fully hardware loaded and just plain when its done, looks like it is coming along great, what an ambitious huge project:eek::bowdown: look forward to seeing the end result.
I am curious thou I have no idea what a beast like this would be used for, could you enlighten me its obviously not a home pc
Small update today my friends..
Picked up a package the other day, wonder whats inside... lol
Gotta love those small classy boxes ^^
Ahold! The allmighty Phenom II 955 x4 :P Should receive the MSI boards the upcoming wednesday, so will be able to mount some stuff up by then hopefully...
Thx for the enthusiasm my friend =)Quote:

4. Guess whats storing stuff for the HTPC ^^
Ah, a 30TB home theatre server, that should give you space for over 3000 HD movies :eek:
Movies? its just storing familiy photos and Powerpoint stuff.... :P
Wouldnt be good if someone would store 30tb of other stuff and get a visit ^^
Nice gear ;).
In that case that is 1 uber bad a** rig an all out entertainment rig, very coolQuote:

hehe
2. I need 1 computer to play stuff
sweet
3. I dont wanna have 20+ disks on my gaming rig, it tends to slow stuff down
true :)
4. Guess whats storing stuff for the HTPC ^^
OMG hehe
And amd for a gaming platform is really good for the price, possibly the most demanding game to date being GTA IV plays very smooth with max settings except for view distance, so yeah I have faith in amd for still putting out good gear for a good price.
With a decent overclock, im sure GTA 4 will run decent... :P
Hi guys!
Time for a update again =)
Been quite busy with solidworks today, finalizing the more boring parts of this case for the laser to prosess. So should have the first batch of basic pieces tomorrow hopefully
Been curious about what type of PSU's that will be powering up this cute thing? Guess ill throw out some workorders =) a HUGE thanks to OCZ for making this possible aswell..... wouldnt be possible without em
Behold.... the allmighty PC Power & Cooling Silencer 910w
PSU 1 : 24x sata, 4x molex, 4x PCIx - Technical drawing
PSU 2 : 18x sata, 7x molex, 4x PCIx - Technical drawing
PSU 3 : 18x sata, 7x molex, 4x PCIx - Technical drawing
Expect a large update tomorrow guys =)
8x 250mm fans should be arriving along with 3 water res', 2 MSI mobo's, and some arctic silver, and the alu is hopefully delivered tomorrow aswell 0.o
I would not call any of this mod boring.
I like the vents they will be great, this still has to be the most premium case I ever seen, awesome super computer.:banana:
I took a look at your last case and its brilliant.
Awesome PSU's also:up:.
Hey guys! have had some time on my case again now, so heres a update ! ^^
The HDD rack
As most of you probably have noticed have the HDD rack been somewhat doubtfull when it comes to a 25KG load of harddrives, so decided to cut up some more 5 mm alu for em, and mount em together, still had to keep the space in between though, since a mobo and the PSU's are coming in at some point
Have also been drilling some holes to get the new bolts in to hold stuff together, ill be able to mill out some proper support's between the rack tomorrow, just didnt have enough time to finish today =)
Laz0rz!
OMFG, have seen a large ass CNC laser cutter in action today... quite a show... it managed to cut up a 2x2500x1250mm alu plate in under 12 minutes... now thats impressive..
However... have lost my bloody car keys somewhere. such a pain... had to take the 2nd best and get some tape to get the job done... gogo MC with alu tail or something..
Perfect fit? yes... would say so ^^
Front and back for middle module
And the 17" LCD thats getting mounted up front :P (failed to mention that earlier, lol)
First looks on the top module ^^
And some de-assembled mobo plate....
... Placed down on the new backplate for the top module =)
Oh so very pretty. I like. It makes me feel warm inside. :) :P
lookin good, nice blade you got there too, always liked the 954's :up:
they did something semi wrong with the CBR1000 in 2004 (repsol looked good though) , and just ****ed up in 2008+... lolQuote:

HAHA, I like that, can't find your car keys so duck take and a bike will do lol. The pieces turned out great, very nice.
A new sponsor has joined up, Anfi-Tec will be providing full cover blocks for the MSI 790FX-GD70 boards
And yea... alot has been done yesterday... and even more today, update coming later today, stay tuned! ^^
Sweet blocks mate, congratz on the new sponsor.
Hi guys,
Gonna post up some pics of some work done yesterday, have completed the screen mount now, thats going for the midsection of the case
Worked it out from a 2mm alu plate
Monitor mount turned out really well, very clean.
Looking nice. Congrats on Anfi-tech...I guess you found someone that makes a block for that board :P
So are you dropping the laptop in favor of the LCD?
Wow this thing is awesome! I haven't really seen this thread before, although I don't come in and look at these threads all the time. This is one of the best I have seen, +Rep definitely.
Norway is probably THE warmest country in the world right now... especially when ur working inside a large ass building with stainless steel plating -.-
Anyways.... beside the freaking hot weather these days, what have Mr.Grevaeg been working on? ^^
His project ofcourse!
Some general progress pics
yes, its shrinked :P ill get back to this one
The first set of 360 twin radiators
After quite alot of thoughts and ideas on how to fit 4x 360 rads and 2x 240, ive finally found a solution for the first and second pair ^^
Theres alot of space on the bottom of each module, might aswell use it for something :P
sooo.... placed em up, and got the 1/2" fittings in (why would people ever bother using anything less btw?!)
The water ress . x3
Swiftech got some really cute water ress'es, they seem somewhat small, but really, why would u need 10 gallons in a ress? also comes with a fillport in the top, and possibilities to mount up nozzles at top, side and bottom, cant get much better then that imo
PCP&C Silencer 910w !
Well my friends, they have arrived... and god.. ive never seen that many cables loose outside a case in my life... ill prolly have weeks infront of me to manage these. But then again, OCZ provided a perfect cut after measure's by me, so they deserve a huge applause for the work and dedication they put in their PSU's, still cant wait to get em up running, managed to plug one of em in and start em up, have heard alot of rumors that they are quite noisy, but i have to disagree there, no way in hell they are producing more then 26DB'ish
lets get some pics out, shall we ? ^^
Guess thats all for now guys, ill work on getting some spacers on the bottom module tommorrow, and hopefully get ready to ship it for wet sanding within a few days, stay tuned ^^
-Cg
:eek: That....is a lot of cables.
I love how you're using such tiny res' on such a huge case :P
Also, @using less than 1/2" tubing, in some cases, like my MightyMite, 1/2" just straight up wouldn't fit.
Looking awesome. I can't wait to see the panels on it. :twisted:
Hi guys, small update today, ill just let the images speak :P
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 ^^
-Cg
An extremely well constructed enclosure.
The design features many unique qualitys.
