New Stuff!

I gotta post a some new updates cause the boy is busy being lazy as usual. He claims he is doing homework... likely story!
On top of that he has got this whole modest thing going on so he doesn't want any pictures that include him!
Anyway here is an update...

The boy removing the tooless drive holders..

(You can't hardly notice were the ugly truck ran over him!)

It's nice to have lots of work space to spread out...

More fidely sleeving work...

But it sure makes difference when you are done!

I will add more later...

More pics of work I made the boy do...

Removing the window...

You have to be careful when popping out the little plastic rivets that hold the window in place. The boy used a small hex driver to press them out.

We just got new parts delivered!

Santa brought us some parts...

More sleeving...

10 green LED lazers for spot lighting.

And the best part...A Crystalfontz 635 w/ SCAB. With a bunch of assorted cables (We got 8 thermometers!) :p
Front view...

This is the 4 x 20 unit!

Back view...

The boy and I are planning to flush mount the LCD into the top of the case about 2 inches back from the front.

Maybe when we are done with this mod we will do a review on the Crystalfontz...

Nice work, sleeving looks good, I love the green and black.

[psychowit]

yeah! She's nice!

[Xperiment]

Love the spotlight's lots of potential for them.

You are working very neat. Very good Saves you a lot of time because you don't **** up things.

Haha too true.

We hope to go crazy programming the LCD.
The boy is quite the programmer! (Who knew, like rainman or something...) Once the boy works his magic it should be pretty cool! Maybe we will post a movie of the various screens!

With 8 Dallas temp sensors with the LCD and all the temp sensors built into the mother board...ect we have more things wired than the CIA!
We are going to make our own water temp doohickies. (That is a technical term for those of you who are slow ) We will epoxy the Dallas temp sensors into 1/2" tee's probabbly using epoxy to hold / waterproof the sensors. We are thinking about 3 of them. The rest will be air and redundant hardware.

Proposed Temp Channels:

1. Coolant out of the rad.
2. Coolant out of the CPU, into the GPU.
3. Coolant out of the GPU into the rad.
4. Air into the rad (ambient).
5. Air out of the rad.
6. Air in the middle of the case (case ambient).
7. Case exhaust (One of the rear exhaust fans).
8. Maybe a redundant CPU Channel.

Along with the Koolance Flow Meter we plan to get we will be able to monitor thermal performance closer than NASA watching a shuttle landing!

Also thanks for noticing the good work the boy is doing.
(Good slaves are so hard to find nowdays...)
I actually used to be a Quality Control Inpsector at Nuclear Power Plants!

It's good to keep an eye on case temps but I think your going a bit over the top with the sensors. Also, if you epoxy sensors in to "T" joints that will create a major leak point.
