Re: DragonForce
I'm Back ! Guess what, I ordered the wrong gpu block. Oh well guess i'll have to mod it to fit then.
here's the old hsf...
luckily, using some long nose pliers and a trusty wooden spoon, i was able to remove it.
The Asetek GPU water block...
arctic silver 5, always useful...
If i can get it to fit, the pipes coming off at an angle might make it look a bit different as well... we will see
Next problem... the bottom of the block stops the card from pushing all the way into the agp slot. not for long....
thats better....
Righttttt............. That case should be dry by now. Time for a coat of lacquer. Heres the result after 4 coats...
hmmmm while thats drying i think i'll fit some more water blocks...
and the CPU block...
Thats all for now. Back soon

Re: DragonForce
Hi, Ive had some good idea's (well i think so, comments please?). Did i mention i drilled out the rivets holding the HD Bays in earlier? no? oops.. well yea i did...
well this left me with a problem, as i didnt really want to fish out and buy a 5" HD cooler just so i could mount it into a wider bay. So... i came up with this very simple method using motherboard standoffs and a few washers...
Good finish eh?...
I needed somewhere to mount a reservoir, ideally higher than the pump to make filling the system easier. I finally decided to mount it at the back near the exhaust fan vents just above where the pump will be positioned. so i made a bracket to hold it there...
some 4mm aluminium...
HIT IT!
DRILL IT!
Drill some more....
Jobs a brownen....
Thats all for now. Next job is to cut tubing and fill and bleed the system. FUN :p

Re: DragonForce
Now for the fun part... deciding how to lay out the piping. Heres a pic of the case before i started...
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm this is my brother... although prob not the best idea to admit that... I think he's just made a new invention, how to blow in your own eye... He'll make millions
After about 20 mins of fiddling and swapping pipe arrangements to see what looks best i came up with this layout. i think it looks quite alien like, how about you ppl? although i deffo think some green dye will be needed. I guess orange will do for now though...
Filling the system, no leaks YAY lol... mooooofishbadgerspoonmoon
Future proofing my Radiatior config so i dont need to wire in more fans if i change to a dual Rad...
Time to tidy up this mess of PSU leads....
Almost finished... maybe too many blue cathodes i dont know... i think i'll have to ditch 1 for a UV and put some dye in the water...
Ignore the random fan on the bottom its just to silence the alarm on my fan controller cus theres no sensor wire on the 120mm rad fan....
More to come soon ppl.

Re: DragonForce
Pump Silencing:
when your case is made from sewer material, suction cups tend to stay put for about 3 milliseconds and then come loose, letting your pump to vibrate away making a racket like a breaded seabass at a earlobe licking contest.
Ripping off the suction cups was easier said than done, i ended up giving it to my dog, who in the end ate all four of them.
with the base plate of the pump removed i set about mounting it to a piece of dense foam...
pump buzzing and vibrations were reduced dramatically from a result of this mod.
