500R first time mods/playtime

[mehere]

this started life as a 500R what you think?
I know the detailing isnt as good as you big boys here and boy them lights are bright but they turned down since pics taken

240x80 rad in front 360x60 in roof

bit tight here but dont touch anywhere

not over happy with the window fitting but its done now no going back
all the top and front mesh/trim removed and replaced with tint plastic

Im not sure if I like all the led fans, but it does look very good

 

[PEXON]

Way to much tubing used and that binding wrap looks naff....

 

[Reily234]

Nice mods! Im not a big fan of the wrap but everything else looks awesome to me!

 

[dalewakelin]

Looks nice

 

[wriskshadow]

O lord my eyes so bright... can you even use that at night without going blind? but that looks pretty cool

 

[mehere]

morning all thanks for the replies the brightness is reduced now I put a fan rpm reducer on them
the wrap it not the best stuff to use but money is short and it was to hand tube between gpu's needed some so function came before form changing it farther down the road

I have to agree with Pexon, the tubing wrap does not look good. If you removed that and most of the LED's it would look much better imo.

P.S. These are just my opinions.

 

[tinytomlogan]

Yeah sorry dude I dont like this at all.

Stuff over the tube looks cheap as fook and the grills over the rads look wrong just floating there. This is almost a kill it with fire award winning rig

 

[PEXON]

A little extra thought, a few more rotary fittings and you could get a much cleaner loop in there. Little things like going from the pump/res into the right hand fitting instead of the left on the GPU will make it look so much neater.

MY EYES THEY BURRRRRN
that is all....

thanks mate someone likes it other than me lots of neat rigs on here but we all got to start somewhere

 

[Athlonax]

I Think the same as everyone else, the fans are a bit ott and the tubing looks a tad naff, keep it plain and simple!

 

[Kidbest100]

I agree.

The wrapping doesn't look good at all. It was a big thing awhile back, but I didn't like it back then either.

The actual tubing positioning isn't great either, but, what can ya do.

It's your rig, if you like being blinded by bright lights at night and having the inside look funky thats cool with me. I just think it looks odd.

.......

 

[mehere]

come on people lets have some help and advice here then, you have told me its naff what should I being doing with it bearing in mind money is tight (and not burning it thanks)

You are the right track, just need a few minor changes and you will have a killer system. The LED fans drowned the system with too much blue light, if you like the fans you can keep them and just remove the LED's. Loose the tube wrap because it is doing nothing for your build. Invest in some rotary fittings as already suggested. You should be use straight or 45 degree fittings out of the CPU block to improve the tubing layout. To many 90 degree fittings will create a lot of restriction on your flow. Short straight runs of tubing look much better then long twisty runs. I would like to see a better picture of the system with proper lighting and no blue leds. You could also get some sleeved cable extensions to give the internals a cleaner look, 24 pin, 8 pin and 6 pin cables are all you really need to start.

thanks Sebar nice to get a constructive comment the fans came cheap from my mate ebay wanted low rpm so I didnt have to mess with speed control and they are too much but now its all or nothing with their leds maybe nothing is better the strip leds are voltage controlled now
the wrap I know looks crap but the tube between the gpu's was folding up and couldn't have it just on one tube and again it was all I had to hand
I'll have a another look at the fitting's job after Christmas
