Personally I think the clear tubing looks out of place. The installation is coming together really well though, looks good.
I love the cable management. I like how everything looks so sleek. I have to agree the clear section looks a bit out of place, but would probably look better when the coolant is in there.
Thanks guys.
Rico from Watercool told me today that my PrometheusCU edition Heatkiller rev3.0 was shipped and is on it's way to me.
I also had Rico send me some pics of his shop...
First up, here's the link to the watercool website:
*click for link*
the Watercool workshop - Rico's left the captions up to me because he says his English isn't very good.
Outside the shop:
What looks to be a couple of 5-axis CNC mills - some very impressive equipment for the machinist among us. You can see a bunch of what look to be GTX280 waterblocks in the bins:
This looks like some delrin Heatkiller 3.0 tops.
A bigass bending break, a piece of equipment that I REALLY REALLY want.
A hydraulic drop saw, cutting what looks to be delrin slabs for waterblock tops:
A CNC lathe... another bit I'd kill to own:
A MASSIVE CNC metal stamping punch making waterblock details, and mounts:
To be recycled scrap metal and shavings:
Some of you asked for some interior shots of the Heatkiller 3.0 CoolingMasters.com did a quickie review of the block and took pics of the inside:
I 'finished' the GFX power lines.
I added the quotes, along with some slack in the lines, because I'm going to solder the wires to the cards... to clean it up a bit.
The heatshrink is also temporary
The tools I used:
Here's my 'needle nose crimp job':
Add solder:
Result:
Here are the wires in place, the heatshrink needs to be finalized, but I cut all the wires on an angle so they feed in the correct direction out of the PSU without straining.
I'm also going to relocate the little black cable clips on the motherboard tray - to be neater.
Thanks for reading. Tune in soon - NEXT I tackle the soldered ATX and 12v lines! =)
Good luck on the soldering job. +rep
A very impressive workshop he has there. I too would kill for that sort of equipment at my disposal lol ;).
Cabling is looking fantastic, you have put a lot of thought into how you are doing it. It is really paying off.
looks awesome :up:
Looking great man!
Guess what's coming next?
