Ooooooooo..... pretty. I like pretty. :)
Woah! Those BP fittings look..."mean". Consider me camped out.
Okay, it would seem that some fokes has misunderstood the difference between my cable tray, and my motherboard tray. This update should clarify that;)
Would the real Motherboard tray PLEASE stand up?
As you can see, this is the motherboard tray, 2 peices of acrylic sandwitched.
Now this is the cable tray, which someone though would have the motherboard mounted on it too.
How does all this play together? we will get back to that later;) First, a big thanks to Vincent from Bitspower for sending me some goodies!
Old versus new pass trough fittings
This must be the sexiest fittings on EARTH!
Everybody has bitspower battlemechs, but how many have custom bitspower holders? :D (no really, theese are gonna be used in another project i will link too soon ;) )
And a custom version of Jon Lundīs PomPlex reservoirs ;)
This combo will be placed on the top of the reservoir, and will work as inlet, and fillport.
The little plastic bugger inthere is a port for LEDīs, and i am gonna use quite a few of theese in the build i think. Should light the reservoir up nicely ;)
And now for the cables! You probertly already saw this picture:
But here is some more money shots:
Before we continue to the cable tray, i would like to show the pump, and the sleeving on this. Instead of putting heatshrink on, i opened up the housing, and put the sleeving in, STEALTH style!
And now, i got the case partially riveted back together! (you will notice some small silver screw like things, these are tempory rivets lol! )
Notice the motherboard tray inthere? ;)
Some people asked me if the weight of the psu wouldnt destroy the psu holder in acrylic, and this is where i am planning on putting a support plate (the plate you see there is not the final plate, its a dish i made for myself of scraps;) made 3 others with names on to the rest of the fokes in the dorm lol!)
And what will it support? The psu and the pump of course! IMO this looks SEXY!
And with the sides on!
Oh look! A tiny window for the reservoir :D
And now, Will the real CABLE Tray please stand up, and get in place :D
And with the motherboard tray out
Sides on
I still need to rivet the middle plate inthere, but that cant be done before the cable tray is completely done, and so far i ran out of heatshrink -.- Oh well... another order then:D
Hope you enjoyīd this update!

Very nice. I gotta say again; I love what you're doing with the cabling on this mod. :D
Oh my god, this is just sick, jawdropping and then some !!!
Great job.
video update! uploaded in 720P but youtube is still processing so bear over with the quality. enjoy!

Absolutely beautiful work!
What did you use for the ends on the wires in the next-to-last pic? There's a big cluster of wires on the right side with individual connectors on them. I'm thinking along those lines for cable management on Clockwork but haven't found connectors I like.
i am gonna put a 24 pin plug onthere of course, but as written i ran out of heatshrink:P
i use normal crimps like the ones in this pic:
This just keeps getting better and better!!! +rep for over the top attention to detail
thanks man! next update will first be in a few weeks, since i have some other stuff to work on atm. and i am waiting on some sleeving to finish up the cable tray:D
A small, but important update, NEW SPONSOR!
Aqua Computer are sending me one of theese:
with a powerbooster, and one of theese
sadly though, the vf model wont be in stock until a months or so, so it will take some time before i get it:/ but that will give me time to get the cable tray and a lot of other things done!
Congrats on the new sponsor! That's an interesting looking pump there.
its not a pump, but a flowmeter mate:D
Ahhh, that makes a lot more sense. :P
oohhhh, shiny! Congrats pOPe!
thanks :D a update!
First of all, got nominated to mod of the month on bit-tech wuuh:) thats my second mod over there that gets nominated, and both have been used as front page pics:P
I got new toys!!! More tools wuuh:D best gift a modder can get besides hardware!
Had to use it for the passtrough fitting from bitspower!
Glued the two green and black plate from the motherboard tray together. Needed some weight to make the glue stick better:P
The fan and 6 pins plugs sitting flush with the cable tray
Some macro shots!
New hardware! New tools AND hardware in one update woot ! An msi gd85 with usb 3.0 and sata 6 GB/s, and a Intel i5 750. Put in, and cables on:
How the radiator will be put.
The mod will be lit by a 1.5 meter smd lcd strip with 10 smd ledīs pr. 10 centimeter. with the controller i can adjust brightness from dull to Christmas tree strenght!
Light it up!
And here is a great pic (if i may say it myself lol) of the motherboard tray inside the case.
Thats all for this time! The case has to be send to madrid the 5īth so it can be shown to all the other great modders who will attend campus party europe 2010!

Until next time, :bunny::santa::smoker::banana:
Wow! Excellent work as always, Pope. I love the lit shots. That's a sweet motherboard, but if it were me I'd plan on putting something on top of those heat sinks, just to remove or cover up the "DRMOS" logo. Maybe a "BETO" logo? :D
Keep it up.
thanks man! the plan is to mill them flat, and put some other text on them:bunny:Quote:

Actually that line reminds me of a great song if you shoot video.
Awesome stuff. I love it. :D
Beautiful and inspiring work!!
Thanks man! :)
Finally an update! Hope your ready;)
I made quite a bunch since last time, among other things these two plates. One to support the psu, and one to hold the passtrough fittings from bitspower.
The idea is to put two QDīs there, so taking the motherboard tray out will be a breeze!
The aquaero was placed in the top along with the RGB controller, and fits well into the PCB theme
As you can see, everything is sleeved in green and black colors!
The cable routing from the RGB controller wasnt easy, but i managed to fit it under the aquaero.
The hole to all the connectors for the aquaero!
The sleeving for the 24 pin, coming out of the kabel tray
The rest of the cables for GFX, aquaero, power etc.
And light!!! Red ^
Green ^
And my personal favorite, blue / uv ^
The inside with green light ^
And blue / uv, where the contrast between the green and black is wicked IMO :D
One of the best shots IMO!
The inside again. The cpu cooler and gfx are gonna go. Just dont know when i will have the cash to get a grafic card lol
And three of my favorite things, watercooling, sleeving and bitspower! (in modding that is ;) )
The edge of the psu mounting plate!
And a picture of the green sleeving.
And a little present from Jon Lund! He told me about this idea on our trip to madrid, and i have wanted to get them ever since.
In the front you can see a normal LED plug, while the two in the background is the ones Jon sent me. They are longer than normal and spreads the light much better.
So now you saw them! And you know who made them first;) He will start a production run of theese soon, and will hit retailers in a little over a month!
Put into the Lund reservoir, that he also made lol :D
And here it is in the reservoir, a little hard to see, but its inthere:D
Loop is gonna go:
Reservoir -> Pump -> flowmeter -> Radiator -> cpu -> gpu -> back to reservoir
The pump will vibrate a bit, so theese rubber grommets was applyid.
Hope you enjoyd this update! :) Until next time, happy modding!!!
-p0Pe
Much pretty. :D I also like the blue UV best; it really makes the green plexi stand out.
Abolutely beautiful work, Pope. I love the closeup shot of the green sleeving by itself, the depth of field and the focus just make that a beautiful photo.
Do you have the blue and UV on different circuits? I know it's hard to capture with a camera (don't dare say 'on film' there, do I?), but I find myself curious what it would look like with just the UV and no blue.
Regardless, any single aspect of this build would make it excellent, but put together it is truly beautiful. Keep it up!
Thanks dudes!!!
BoB
The ledīs are RGB leds :D didnt know that the blue was also uv, so no, no seperate :D
I'm looooving that work!!! +Rep on that sleeving and those great photos!
Drool! Great work on this. I especially love the outer design. Oh and the sleeving too.
wow, that is definitely one of the most inspirational mods I've ever seen
Thanks a lot man!Quote:

Sooo pritty! Green and black ramīs for a green and black mod :D
I hope to have an update ready when i get these, along with some pics of them installed!
And a few teasers to hold you off;)
Woah, it's been a while.. Congrats on the RAM!
Thanks man! been crazy buisy with work. Have to get some cash before i start school again in two weeks lol. Had hoped to have the mod finished by the end of this month, but i dont think thats gonna happen :(
I just looked at post #113 and i'm pretty sure i just whip-creamed myself.
Amazing looking mod!!!!!
Haha thanks a lot man! :D Then you better get some tissues now;)Quote:

Now, where were we? Right about here i think.
This is how the case have stood ever since i went to hear stewie wonder in copenhagen. I got a 4870x2 with block on it, and fittet that in, and painted the mobo back panel!
The 2*6 pins fits so much better on to this card than they would have fittet on a 5870! There is just one downside, i miss two pins!
Now, a little tube routing have been set in motion, but there is still lots to do.
Now guess what hides under this hood? It has 64 gigs, and runs at aprox 270MB/sek in read and write:P I hope to be able to replace it with something bigger, better and nicer soon though.
Now this, is what the little glowsticks that Jon made for me does! (http://lund-tech.com/?Products:Lighting_module)
A quick shot of the side panel lit up!
of some reason, this reminds me of a horror movie, where you see a sharp light trough a window xD
Now, for the torture of the psu... Belive it or not, but it took me over 6 hours to make it look this way!
Soldering the wires back together after cutting them down to size.
2*6 pins down! 8 pin and 24 pin to go :(
Halfway there!!!
DONE! And i must say, i am quite happy about the final result! Not to green, but with a little black in between:P
From another angel. I practically had to stand on top of it to get the wires inthere! Talk about a close fit!
And what might this little bugger be? Remember the problem about missing a few pins on the 8 pin for the gfx card? No problem:D
Just put this one into the psu, and bam! 2 more pins fixed :D
Now, the octopus begins...
Now isn't this the best looking cable mess you've ever seen? :D
And the little 2 pin crawling trough the case and finally ending in the gfx card!
And now! A huge thanks to mushkin for sending me 8 gigs of these awesome rams! I cant wait to get these into the case!
Black and green, just like the rest of the mod!
Gotta love them. They are so incredible heavy compared to other ram sticks i have around, and i love the ridgeback fin design!
More pronz!
But hey now, what is this? "Something seems to be missing dude..."
Yeah, i noticed, but i couldn't decide if i wanted the copper top, or the delrin to for the build :/
Then its lucky that AquaComputer was so awsome to send BOTH the cuplex kryos HF and a spare delrin top!
Two awsome names paired!
Now, the only downside with the delrin top is that it doesn't take 10 mm compression fittings :(
The HF top however, does! This thing must weigh a metric tonne or therby!
And this is how she stands at the moment! I will update again when i get the ram installed, along with the waterblock. Oh, and dont mind the vandal switch hanging there:D It will be replaced with a black one i got from nutman ;)
And again, thanks to the sponsors ;)
Until next update, Cya!!!
-p0Pe
And in possibly the best compliment I can give in a situation like this.... I hate you.
:)
Awesome work, my friend. Awesome work.
Great work. That res looks sweeet. :D
Incidentally, for the two extra pins, you could have pulled them off the same 12V and ground lines as the existing 6-pin plugs inside the PSU, though considering how close the fit was I'm not sure it would have fit through the hole anyway.
Haha thanks man! :banana:Quote:
