project M8 (CaseLabs M8 workstation build)

[Twigsoffury]

I almost got suspended for installing Half-Life on all the computers in school and playing during class with everyone. Haha we had a great time.

heehhe bootable game CD's are awesome. load times are horrendus but at least you don't leave a trace behind of you having played doom3 or some SNES emulators.


I used to loot the secondary and third ram sticks out of the school computers. wonder if anybody noticed the computers going from 512 down to 128mb of ram?

Minecraft MP at school is awesome!

Especially with teachers that don't mined!

[p0Pe]

Starting to get off topic again now are we boys

O-rings are in!

40 dollars later, and I got o-rings!

Three sizes! And man was they hard to find. Especially the big one which measures 320 mm in diameter!

The big one fittet in place^

And the grove for the filter.

o-ring fittet in the showoff reservoir - like a glove!

And with the acrylic plate on!

Put it all together and did a quick leaktest - works like a charm

Now to send some files to get lasercut so I can get the front and back for the big reservoir done! A surprise is coming

[yingxuy]

Your pics are really great!!!! Bump for update?

[p0Pe]

Thanks mate Update coming! (small one tho)

Small teaser of how the HDD´s are going to be attached to the reservoir:

And the "hatch" for the swappable filter

Hope you enjoy it!

A tiny update Got the front reservoir done with plate and everything!

But first, a little design i am working on:

It will be used on something on the build I will show later.

Got the reservoir + acrylic plate screwed onto the front I will use different bolt/screws for the final mount, but this was what i had

Fillport in the top^

As you can see here, the fillport goes down into the reservoir. This should make filling quite easy.

Also drilled a hole in the bottom to do the same thing there, but havent drilled the hole into the reservoir yet.

And a few views over the hdd holder, and how I will route tubing from the motherboard side to the reservoir.

A little closeup of the thing i printet to fit into the precut holes on the M8 case

Thats it for now lads Off to prepare for another exam -.-

Soo, I would like to thanks Corsair very much for joining in on this project, sponsoring me 2xPerformance Pro 128GB ssd´s, and a 8 GB Dominator ram kit!

I was stoked seing these They should provide plenty of speed for my operative system!

Well protected inside

The caselabs ssd disk thingie that i will have them in

And how it looks on the plate i made for it

And last but not least fittet in the case!

Oh, and these will be the ram that will go into the build!

Thats all for this time lads Have a great weekend! (I have the day off tomorrow yay!)
