Simply Amazing. Love your work! Can't wait to see the final glamor shots.
i love this build. its kinda "sad" that it takes so longe to see it be finished hehe because i wanna see it done now.. been drooling over this project a long time now, you du have skills when it comes to build. rep to you
Many thanks gentlemen. Completion will be soon upon us. =)
This is far from the prettiest thing I ever put together - but it gets the point across and I did it very quickly.
I crudely added in some of the parts. Including a very rough idea of the final reservoir locations:
Here are the latest iteration of the reservoir mounts - it took about 5hours of measuring and remeasuring to be certain that they are level with one another. I don't want 2kilos of copper throwing off the visual balance.
The "right" res will hang from the PSU area in the front and the back will mount to the fan - it's mounted so that it flows straight into the mosfet block. I'll need 4 spacers at the back to keep the reservoir fronts flush with one another.
The "left res fits into the slots on the hdd bay cover plate.
More soon.
:bowdown:
I have only been off the forums for about a week now but I can't believe your progress. Everything is looking simply amazing. Those reservoirs are nice, have they been pre coated with a copper finish? You wouldn't want them to tarnish.
The Boy 4rm Oz - Thanks a lot man, as always. The reservoirs are solid copper - and they weigh 1.9kilos each. I'm going to polish them then coat them in Varathane.
This is one phenomenal build bro, just excellent design and methodical detailing. Great job!
This build keeps getting better and better. Keep up the good work!
Thank your both very much. As always - much appreciated.
So; I made a 'little' spreadsheet this evening.
It's a complete itemized list of every part and component in Prometheus - it's price, retailer, SKU, etc.
It turns out that Prometheus consists of 227 different parts (meaning duplicate parts are not counted).
This composes a total of *1413 individual pieces (not including the molex pins 1642 pieces if you count the pins.)
The total MSRP value of this project is a fair bit higher than I had expected actually... My heart jumped a couple beats when I totaled the bottom line.
Turns out I'm bat sh*t crazy afterall.
*edit 1413 individual pieces not including pins. I miscalculated.
OMFG, that is an insane amount of parts lol, still, well worth it IMO lol.
Damn, 1.9Kg each for the reservoirs, that's insane lol.
